Authority Of Night

By Nofia Ulfa

To the dark of cloudy

How's life?

Hope the cloud still beside you

But, doesn't she drops the rain again?

Please tells to her, I miss the rain so much

I know You have dropped the sweet rain yesterday

But why I miss it again?

It's not an order the rain to represent my feeling

I just miss it

I miss something I can;t touch

I miss something real but separated by times

I've close my eyes

Look up this hands while ask "the night" to interpret my heart

Without one or two witnesses

Pit to Allah, My Night's Authority

FATIMAH

By Nofia Ulfa

Fabulous pearl begin to exist

Accelerate the next stride for next fight

Thou, the greatest wealth among acuity of corals

Ignore the obstacles arise from a million wounds

May the sea occupants watch you

All of your luxurious defiances

Hardy to find the most beautiful estuary

POMPEII

Kota Pompei terletak digaris laut Mediterania, dekat kota Naples (Neapolis) di Italia Selatan. Pompeii adalah kota besar dan ramai semasa pemerintahan Kaisar Romawi Neron. Kota ini termasuk daerah koloni orang-orang Romawi, yang dihuni oleh 20.000 jiwa, 40% dari mereka adalah kalangan budak. Pompeii menjadi kota yang makmur dari tempat pesiar di musim panas yang dilengkapi villa-villa, kuil atau candi, gedung-gedung teater atau pertunjukan, pemandian dan arena laga (colisium/colesseum).

Sekarang ini, tidak ada yang tersisa dari kota ini selain berkas peninggalan kuno. Pompeii terletak di bawah gunung berapi Vasuvius yang memiliki ketinggian 1.200 m dari permukaan laut. Kota Pompeii hancur akibat ledakan hebat gunung Vasuvius, ledakan super dahsyat yang mengubur kota Pompeii dan kota Herkulaneum.

Letusan gunung mulai memuntahan lava panas pada siang hari, 24 Agustus 79 M ( 491 tahun sebelum kelahiran Nabi Muhammad), yang menyebabkan awan asap berlapis-lapis bagaikan pohon Shanbir yang menutup matahari, merubah siang menjadi gelap yang berkepanjangan. Penduduk kota Pompeii berusaha lari dan mengurung diri di dalam rumah untuk menyelamatkan diri, akan tetapi tidak ada gunanya. Hari itu adalah hari raya dewa api dalam keyakinan Romawi. (subhannallah ‘ amma yusyrikun)

Kota Pompeii terkubur lava panas dan material gunung selama 1668 tahun hingga ditemukan pada tahun 1748 M, yaitu bersamaan ditemukannya kota Herkulaneum (herculaneum). Dari penemuan itu berhasil ditemukan korban meninggal dalam keadaan utuh tanpa ada kerusakan bahkan hingga gigi mereka (tetap utuh). Mimik muka yang menyatukan semua korban adalah rasa takut dan rasa terbelalak. Pada satu tempat ditemukan mayat-mayat yang keras membatu. Karena debu-debu lahar yang beracun yang bisa kita anggap sebagai alami-masuk kebagian dalam tubuh yang basah, sehingga menjaga bentuk dan rupa manusia serta binatang sebagaimana adanya.

Dari penemuan ini terungkap bagaimana krakteristik kota yang kaya serta kemakumuran yang dirasakan oleh masyaraktnya pada waktu itu. Banyak orang kaya yang hidup mewah bangga dengan kekayaan mereka. Dikota ini terdapat jaringan (instalasi)air di dalam rumah , kamar mandi umum dan jalan-jalan yang tersusun rapi dengan batu-batu, ada juga pelabuhan laut yang cangih, begitu pula panggung-panggung sandiwara , dan pasar-pasar. Sisa dan jejak peninggalan mereka menunjukkan perhatian mereka terhadap seni dan ukiran (pahatan), dan masyarakat penghuni kota ini adalah warga Romawi kuno dengan semua tingkatan dan status sosial yang termasuk budak.

Maksiat Yang Merebak Di dalam sejarahnya, para penduduk kota Pompeii gemar dan paling nomor satu dalam hal maksiat. Mereka sering menggelar perzinaan di rumah – rumah mereka, di jalan – jalan, bahkan hampir setiap rumah adalah rumah pelacuran. Banyak juga para pendatang dari Yunani dan Venesia yang ‘menikmati’ wanita – wanita disana, berhubung kota itu juga menjadi pelabuhan yang aman oleh para pelaut. Suatu pertanda bahwa masyarakat itu (Pompeii) adalah masyarakat yang rendah, bahkan lebih rendah dari binatang.

Sebelum kota ini hancur terkubur, masyarakat diwaktu itu tidak menggubris tanda-tanda akan terjadinya letusan gunung. Mereka tidak ambil pusing dengan goncangan-goncangan kecil ata goncangan kuat., tidak pula terhadap awan putih yang menggumpal di atas kawah gunung. Manusia disaat itu tidak belajar dari gempa bumi yang pernah menghancurkan kota mereka 17 tahun sebelumnya. Mereka tidak mengubris seruan kaisar Romawi, Neuron supaya meninggalkan kota. Berangkali alasan mereka adalah mereka memandang letusan gunung berpai membawa banyak kebaikan. Debu yang dibawa sangat kaya dengan bahan mineral yang bisa menjadi pupuk bagi tanaman mereka sehinga berbuah lebat. Air hujan yang turun kepada mereka dan mengairi tanaman yang disebabkan adanya gunung berapi tersebut yang selalu mendatangkan awan. Banyak tanda dan alamt akan terjadi letusan hebat. Beberpa hari sebelumnya terjadi goncangan hebat (gempa bumi) yang mengerikan sebagian sumur, juga mematikan sumber-sumber mata air, sementara anjing-anjing menggonggong sedih atas diamnya burung-burung.

Semua tanda itu tidak di indahkan oleh penduduk kota hingga di waktu dhuha, sementara mereka sibuk berdagang dan canda tawa, ditengah hari tanggal 24 Agustus 79 M, manusia mendengar hiruk pikuk yang menghebohkan, batu-batu besar terbelah, disusul lahar panas, asap, debu yang terbang tinggi mengarah kelangit kemudian setengah jam berikutnya semuanya jatuh menimpa kepala penduduk kota Ponpeii. Sebagian dari mereka berhasil meyelamatkan diri ke pelabuhan, dan yang lain bersembunyi dirumah-rumah dan gedung. Setelah itu mereka semua berubah menjadi mayat yang membatu. Pada penggalian jejak kota ini ditemukan kurang lebih 2000 mayat. Banyak dari mereka tergencat bebatuan yang berjatuhan menimpa atap-atap rumah dan gedung.

Beberapa jam kemudian, lahar panas yang berlimpah ruah mengubur kota tersebut dan membumihanguskan semua bentk tanda-tanda kehidupan di sana. Akhirnya kota tersebut terkubur hingga 3 meter oleh lahar panas dan debu. Setelah kejadian semburan batu panas dari Gunung Vesuvius, maka banyak ditemukan mayat – mayat bergelimpangan, dan banyak pula yang mati sedang melakukan maksiat (zina), ada juga yang melakukannya dengan sejenis dan bahkan diketahui ada yang masih berusia belia. Na’udzubiLLahi min dzalik.

Mirip memang dengan peristiwa kaum Luth –‘alayhis salaam- (kaum
penghuni kota Sodom) yang Alloh luluhlantahkan dengan hujan batu.

“ Jikalau sekiranya penduduk negeri-negeri beriman dan bertakwa, pastilah Kami akan melimpahkan kepada mereka berkah dari langit dan bumi, tetapi mereka mendustakan (ayat-ayat Kami) itu, maka Kami siksa mereka disebabkan perbuatannya.

Maka apakah penduduk negeri-negeri itu merasa aman dari kedatangan siksaan Kami kepada mereka di malam hari di waktu mereka sedang tidur?

Atau apakah penduduk mereka merasa aman dari azab Allah (yang tidak terduga)/ tiada yang merasa aman dari azab Allah kecuali orang-orang yang merugi.”*(QS. Al-A’raf :96-99)

Allah membinasakan penduduk kota Romawi, Pompeii, karena mereka berbuat aniaya dimuka bumi dan banyak merusak disetiap lini kehidupan. Diantara mereka senang mengadakan pertunjukan pertarungan antara manusia dengan manusia atau dengan binatang buas, yang berakhir hingga matinya salah satu peserta laga.

I am quite satisfied after i read the story, i can imagine that i follow to be one of  characters in the story and i can enjoyed the story very well. There are some parts that became my favourite scenes. Especially action scene. I like it very much because I can felt that I am one of part of the adventure story.

However, i am not too understood about whole of the adventure story, because the narrator used Old Language that rather difficult to understand by us. Because of that, I need a long time to can understand contents of the novel and I must repeat the story not only once.
