Jogja At A Time
42. About Space and Time

Every human being without exception would want to enjoy life. Enjoying life means enjoying every moment, every second that flies away goes nowhere.

Of course, enjoying life is not the same for every human being. Imagining life in a beautiful place, such as the beach, mountains, rice fields or home can be a dream of humans who live in the midst of the hustle and bustle of survival competition in a big city.

Conversely, the silence of humans in the midst of the monotonous silence of rural nature makes him think to someday look for another pleasure in the city.

Whatever the differences in views about the pleasures of life, it is undeniable that it always involves two fundamental dimensions that are almost always associated with it.

The first is the dimension of space or where humans want to enjoy life, and the second is the dimension of time, a time when humans want to enjoy life.

The dimension of space is not just the length, width, and height of a place. Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore alludes to the dimension of space with his famous figurative word, "Go and look for life where life feels beautiful." If explored further its meaning, it seems Tagore argues if the place of life feels beautiful it is in the will of self.

There is no need to go anywhere if the space of peace has been provided by the Khalik through the heart. A path full of twists and turns that lead to an oasis of eternal coolness if humans want to make peace with their hearts.

The dimension of time is also often heard, "Live in the moment." Get rid of thoughts about the past and fears of the future so life feels beautiful.

Is it easy to enjoy life ? Enough to make peace with space and time then the enjoyment was realized ?

Did you know there is an intervention in the enjoyment of human life ? Many refer to and argue with the term ignorance. Have you ever heard of a good person in the wrong place or vice versa, a bad person in the right place ? No one knows for sure when space and time are available at the right time to enjoy life ...

...----------------...

In fear and helplessness very very, a series of omens from Mbah Jum ringed in the mind of Asri. Whether it is coincidence or not ... Mbah Jum's warning of a neglected fateful day now confronts him ...

There is no more energy left in Asri. His whole body feels stiff. Even to make a plea for mercy to Sigit was incapable.

The shadow of a beautiful day and the wise words that Asri hoped would be heard from the mouths of Seto and Seti in the fishshop Drini crashed in an instant as Sigit's increasingly freely touch his helpless body.

Fade has been incandescent fire soul heating lanterns that have always tried to pin Asri to Seti ... And now, ... His soul mate went nowhere...

There is only coldness that is felt .. then everything goes dark.

...----------------...

"Well, ..." Seti finished pumping the rear tire of Muji motor.

"So buy where's the tire ?" Ask Seto.

"Don't buy the mas. Lodged neighbor Dibyo,"

"Want to buy in Tanjung Sari or Tepus for a change,"

"Yes, ..." Reply Seti while making things right.

"Yuk road together to Drini first, who knows your makeup is not right ... It even leaked out again" Seto laughed.

He smiled at Seti. Understand if Seto just tease his sister.Masa no items left behind, the sound of a motor that is turned on is heard slowly leaving the edge of the beach road Kukup towards Drini.

The Denok walked slowly in front of the tailing Rx-Special. Both of them like to show off the tongue of the south coast wave towards Bening which this time witnessed the truth of Seto's story about the beauty of the fault of the south coast natural painting.

"Right if wearing green clothes can't be near there To ?" Asri pointed at the beach visible from the road.

Seto long tangent to the sea certainly does not believe in myths. Although from the myths that exist can actually strengthen science.

About should not be dressed in green when at sea actually from the point of view of science is more just watching if the waves roll. The green color that is between the blue color of sea water and seaweed green will make it difficult to save if something happens.

Science also explains, sea water does look blue. But the sea floor consisting of coral, seaweed, to sand exposed to sunlight will make sea water turn turbid when the waves are large to greenish.

The color of the south sea beach is different from other sea colors, which are mostly clean blue. The south coast is dominated by high and large sea waves. That is why green is dominant along the southern coast.

"That's dangerous it's just the current breaking." Seto continued his story.

"What is that ?"

"The sea waves were turned around after hitting the shore" Seto replied. "Along the coast here is steep and reverses the wave currents that hit it. Sucking and dragging whatever it passes into the middle of the sea." Sneakily.

"So Nyi Roro Kidul is just a myth ?" Bening was increasingly curious about Seto's opinion about the mystical things he often heard about the ruler of the south sea.

"Ahahaha .. if about that later you just ask Dibyo directly ... I'm less in control of the Javanese legend,"

"Who is Dibyo ?" Bening frowned.

"Child here. Now help the shop. Graduates of Javanese literature, once a boarding house with Seti."

Actually Seto wanted to tell the story of the mythical relationship of Nyi Roro Kidul with the war of Mataram and Pajang which led to the defeat of Pajang due to the volcano erupted and a large wave and tsunami about 400 years ago. But hold it in your heart. Hope that Dibyo who told it directly to Bening later when he arrived at Drini.

"You should feel at home here" Pinched Seto's stomach.

"What does this have to do with me ?"

"Sea !!! ... That's what you're looking for ... You love the sea" Bening laughed out loud and grabbed her.

Not refuting, Seto fell silent. Feeling the breath of the woman who wrapped her hands in her stomach made Seto accelerate the speed of the motor. Want to refresh yourself immediately. Soaking in the sea around the shade of Drini island after walking far enough away will definitely feel good, he thought again.

...----------------...

"Thank my house ... " Seto pointed at the roof of the Drini fishing shop which was visible from the last corner near the Drini fish shop.

"It seems crowded To," Bening responded to Seto's designated spot.

From a distance, some people approached the car in front of the store. It looks like they're leaving the place.

The Denok also seemed impatient to want to arrive soon. Somehow the feeling of Seti's heart felt bad when he saw one of the cars in front being pushed in crowds. It looks like the driver of the car is in a hurry to press the gas pedal when going to advance his car.

One of the reasons cars are mired and trapped in the sand of the beach is because the gas car is stepped on suddenly and fully. As a result the rotation of the car wheel is like a swing hoe. The faster it spins, the deeper the hole gets.

Seti got closer to the store. Intend to help the driver of the car from the sand trap of the shop yard Drini ...
