Liburan Sekolah

Liburan Sekolah

Oleh: Dennis Ismail Pattimura

Setelah belajar selama kurang lebih 1 tahun. Akhirnya, libur kenaikkan kelas telah tiba, itu adalah saat yang menyenangkan bagi para siswa, apalagi liburan kali ini berjalan sangat lama. Walaupun begitu, saya tidak terlalu senang. Karena, saya dan keluarga hanya 3 hari 2 malam ke Cisarua 2 hari setelah Lebaran. Sisanya, saya hanya di rumah, main handphone, dan menonton tv.

Pada saat Hari Lebaran, saya melaksanakan Sholat Ied di masjid dekat rumah. Setelah itu, saya bersalam salaman dengan tetangga di sekitar rumah. Banyak orang berdatangan ke rumah saya untuk bermaaf maafan. Kami juga saling mengobrol di ruang keluarga. Para tamu disambut dengan kami sekeluarga.

Setelah Hari Lebaran, ada keluarga kami yang datiang dari Sumedang dan Jatinegara. Acara dimulai dengan salam salaman dan bermaaf maafan. Kemudian, doa bersama dan dilanjutkan dengan makan bersama. Acara pada hari tersebut berjalan dengan sangat meriah.

Hari ketiga setelah Lebaran, sesuai rencana kami sekeluarga, kami jalan jam 3 Shubuh dari rumah. Kami berencana untuk pergi ke Taman Bunga Nusantara terlebih dahulu, kemudian baru ke Gunung Mas. Sesampainya di Taman Bunga ternyata masih terlalu pagi. Jadi, kami memutuskan untuk pergi ke sebuah restoran untuk sarapan pagi. Sarapan pada pagi itu, kami makan sate dan nasi. Setelah makan kami kembali ke Taman Bunga Nusantara. Saat kembali, ternyata di Taman Bunga sudah ramai. Keramaian tersebut membuat kami masuk agak lama.

Setelah masuk ke Taman Bunga Nusantara, kami berpencar. Di dalam, banyak tanaman tanaman yang dibentuk sedemikian rupa. Ada yang berbentuk jam, dinosaurus dan lain lain. Setelah berjalan sambil berfoto foto, kami masuk ke sebuah labirin. Labirin tersebut terlihat mudah untuk dilewati. Padahal, saat masuk kami hampir tersesat. Setelah berhasil melewati labirin tersebut, kami masuk ke Taman Bali yang masih berada di taman bunga tersebut. Disana banyak patung dan candi.

Dari situ, kami keluar jam 11. Ternyata, jalanan sudah sangat padat dan macet. Kami berhenti sebentar di restoran untuk makan siang dan melanjutkan perjalanan. Di tengah kemacetan, kami berhenti di Pertamina terdekat untuk mengisi bensin. Setelah bermacet macetan, akhirnya kami sampai di Gunung Mas jam 7. Kami makan malam kemudian beristirahat

Di pagi hari, saya sarapan dengan nasi goreng. Kemudian, kami jalan ke kebun teh di sana. Setelah berfoto foto di kebun the, kami turun lalu membeli makanan. Kemudian saya tidur di kamar. Saat bangun tidur hari sudah sore, saya berjalan ke taman di bagian bawah Gunung Mas. Saat naik kembali, saya lewat jalan yang dilewati kuda. Saat malam hari, kami membeli jagung bakar. Kami memakannya sambil menonton tv.

Esok hari kami memutuskan untuk pulang saat jam 3 shubuh. Diperjalanan kami berhenti di rest area untuk Sholat Shubuh.   Sesampai di rumah kami beristirahat. Sisa hari liburan saya lalui dengan menonton tv dan main handphone di rumah. Selain itu, saya menunggu nenek saya yang sedang sakit di rumah sakit. Ia dirawat cukup lama di rumah sakit. Kurang lebih 2 minggu dirawat di rumah sakit. Saya, ibu saya dan saudara saudara bergantian untuk menunggunya. Dan tepat pada tanggal 18 nenek saya wafat dan dimakamkan di TPU Budi Dharma. Kami mengadakan tahlilan di malam harinya hingga 7 hari
