ONE LOVE, TWO CONTINENTS
Death is Mysterious

If the elephant dies leaving ivory, and the tiger dies leaving stripes. However, after Syahrel left not only left a good name, but left many good memories for those closest to him, and there were no bad stories about him.

Starting from 100 days of the deceased until two years of his departure, there are still pilgrims to the tomb and just stop by and discuss with Jama' who is the assistant and adopted sister of Syahrel. The same question, about the cause of the young writer's death. And some came to tell of the kindness he had received from Shahrel.

"The deceased helped me a lot when I was treated and during the healing period." Said the senior author whose age was seven.

"Ka Syahrel was a good man, I felt indebted to him, it was the young man who raised me as a sister and for whom I was sad, he had no life partner, children and parents. Until his legacy he gave to help friends writers, writers and activists of the arts. He even gave me a house this big." Jama recalled the times he was raised to be his younger brother.

"He was a great writer, a diligent writer and always willing to learn, light-handed. It's easy to spill her tears, to see the hardships of others' lives." The senior author's eyes were glazed.

"May God give him the best place in his paradise." Add it with a blank look.

For two years, the royalties of his book have continued to flow, both from home and abroad. Some of his literary works were translated, reprinting many times. There are also those who hijack the writing without the permission of the family. Well, this is how to be a writer in prompak country, it is difficult to

"Where do you know Ka Syahrel?"

"I knew Syahrel in Taman Ismail Marjuki, when there was a literary simopsioum. That's where we talked and talked. And often times he visited opa when he was sick." The answer.

"Oh secretly he often comes to opa?"

"Even often help with medical expenses. Who does not know why de Syahrel first died? Opa should be because it is old age. Opa who is often sickly, if he is young and must fight for the fate of writers in this country. He is also a literary activist, if only the deceased entered parliament.Waah, literati and writers can get the best position and service. God loves him more."

Not only did Jama hear what Opa said, Zahra also listened to the kindness of the deceased during life. That's just one senior writer and many more that Jama has met, telling a variety of experiences with the late Syahrel.

In A Secret Room of Writers

In the house of the deceased there is a private room Syahrel that not everyone knows, only Jama only allowed to enter and take care of him.

One of his hobbies was painting, including a painting on a large canvas that was attached to the wall of the room. Well, a face painting of a girl he'll never forget, a girl he just quietly loved. A love story carried to death.

And another painting that is as large, and parallel to the painting of the girl, is a painting of no less important people in her life.

Namely the mother, the painting he made during the mother in the Grand Mosque, before he heard the news of the mother's death, the painting had given a signal and suddenly the canvas refuser fell.

And the deceased repaired his painting, before long he heard the news that the person he loved and the jewel of his life had died, as well as in his tomb in Ma'la. There is no chance Syahrel saw the body of the mother, only prayers and supernatural prayers can the late Syahrel prophesy.

The two deaths of people he loved that eventually made the late Shahrel locked himself up for so long. They hardly want to meet people who visit their homes. And many also contact Jama is just a collaboration and event agenda that Syahrel must attend.

Some of the awards he got, without him present to meet the invitation, finally only the talent who came to the house.

The spirit of the late Shahrel was so high, his adherence to religion he held high, he was strong in dhikr, and often lingered just recollecting. His fasting and worship are also guarded. Not only that, the late people who can not be separated from the water of ablution and fasting Monday-Thursday, as well as other sunna fasting.

In the room there is also a bookcase so large and full of works by national writers and cultural experts, such as Buya Hamka, Emha Ainun Najib, WS Rendra, Taufik Ismail, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, among others, and the various books of even the deceased also collect old books and ancient manuscripts, this is a priceless treasure in addition to the property assets that Syahrel has.

However, there is something a little disturbing about the death of the deceased Jama himself still keeps a question mark, whether because he was sick, or there are other causes that eventually he died.

It is impossible for a shahrel to be frustrated and stressed even more until depression. It is also impossible for him to commit suicide. Yang Jama knew that the deceased was very devout and there were no acute and serious symptoms of illness. He died without leaving any strange signs or symptoms.

Jama continued to find out if anything else caused Syahrel's death. He's a good man and Jama will always remember. Often, Jama' slept in the room of the late Shahrel just to let go of the longing. In fact, often he cried, when he saw the place where the deceased wrote and prayed.

It was from the youth that Jama' knew Islam, which he originally embraced animist beliefs and long discussions when Jama accompanied Syahrel to write cultural observations in Baduy Dalam. From there, this teenager understood the meaning of divinity in Islam. Without coercion from anywhere and anyone. Jama only saw the figure of Syahrel who so enjoyed worship, and the kindness of his heart.

Until finally he sincerely asked to follow Shahrel and until now, he still serves the young writer, he continued to serve the young writer, even though it is just caring for the relics of the deceased and channeling donations from royalties that the deceased channel for people who dedicate themselves in the literary world, the, because many times Jama heard his frustration that there was no room and appreciation of the state for artists, writers and cultural. It is as if the perpetrators are considered minorities who do not have a major contribution to the state.

"Officers never knew how the Constantinople stood and became a timeless civilization. They do not know that civilization began with a piece of paper and writing that stirred the world." Jama never heard of it from the deceased.

But for him, Jama' is still curious about the death of his loved ones, is there another cause?
