~Dongeng Tentang CINTA~


Dalam dongeng manusia, dikisahkan tentang wujudnya sebuah pulau yang dihuni oleh semua jenis perasaan termasuklah bahagia, duka, hikmah dan cinta. Pada suatu hari, sampailah satu berita yang menggemparkan semua perasaan, iaitu pulau yang mereka duduki akan tenggelam.

Maka bergegaslah mereka menyiapkan sampan untuk menyelamatkan diri masing-masing kecuali cinta. Khabar yang disangka cerita kosong, benar-benar berlaku. Hujan lebat selama beberapa hari tanpa henti menyebabkan paras lautan semakin tinggi sehingga menenggelamkan pulau-pulau disekitar.

Pulau itu tidak terkecuali, mujurlah mereka dapat meninggalkan tempat itu dengan sampan masing-masing. Hanya cinta sahaja tetap setia di pulau itu. Dia terus bertahan sehinggalah ke saat akhir. Pulau itu mulai tenggelam sedikit demi sedikit, cinta tidak terdaya lalu memohon bantuan. Ketika itulah kekayaan dengan sampannya yang agak mewah melalui pulau yang semakin ditenggelami lautan itu, cinta bercadang memohon pertolongan kekayaan..
"kekayaan, bolehkah kau bawa aku bersama dengan sampan mewahmu itu?"
"tidak! Terlalu banyak emas dan perak dalam sampanku ini, tiada tempat untukmu.."
Lalu kekayaan meninggalkan cinta keseorangan.. Kemudian cinta meminta bantuan si takbur, sampannya yang cantik berada tidak jauh darinya,
"'takbur, bantulah aku. Aku hampir tenggelam.."
sedih dan sayu bunyinya..
"Ah, aku tidak boleh menolongmu, nanti basah dan rosak sampanku!"
jawabnya bengis tanpa sedikit pun rasa simpati..
Duka pula baru sahaja meninggalkan pulau itu, segera cinta merayu supaya dibantu..
"wahai duka, izinkan aku pergi bersamamu.."
pintanya dengan penuh harapan..
"Oh cinta, aku terlalu sedih, biarkan aku seorang diri.."
balasnya sendiri..
Malah si bahagia turut melihat keadaan cinta keseorangan di pulau itu, tetapi dia sangat gembira kerana berada jauh daripadanya.
Tidak lama kemudian, dalam keadaan keseorangan, kedengaran satu suara,
"mari wahai cinta, Aku akan bawamu bersamaku.."
suara yang agak berumur memanggilnya. Tidak tergambar kesyukuran cinta apabila melihat ada orang yang sudi membantunya. Terlupa pula bertanya ke mana hala tujunya sehinggalah mereka sampai ke daratan berhampiran. Menyedari dia tidak mengenali org tua yang membantunya, cinta segera menemui si hikmah, lalu bertanyalah dia,
"hikmah, siapakah yang membantuku keluar dari pulau itu??"
"dialah masa"
balas si hikmah..
"masa??"
terkejut cinta dengan jawapan hikmah.. Dia terus bertanya lagi,
"mengapa masa sudi membantuku?"
Hikmah dengan iringan senyuman menjawab kembali,
"kerana hanya perjalanan masa yang mampu memahami betapa nilainya CINTA"

~The Story of Salt Coffee~

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.

They sat at a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought,
please; let me go home.. suddenly he asked the waiter. "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously; why he had this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.

That was his true feelings, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can express his homesickness must be a man who loves his home, cares about home, and has responsibility for his home. Then she too started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found out that he actually was the man who met all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they lived a happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest please forgives me, forgive the lie of my life. This was the only lie I ever said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time
we dated? I was so nervous that time, I actually wanted some sugar, but I said salt instead. It was too embarrasing for me to take back so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times but I was too afraid to do so as I had promised never to lie to you about anything.. Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I am telling you the truth: I don't like salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. I have had to take the salty coffee for my whole life with you and never had to feel sorry for it because I did it for you.

Having you with me is the biggest happiness in my entire life. If I could live a second time, I'd still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even if I if had to drink salty coffee again". Her tears made the letter totally wet.

One day someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee? It's sweet. She replied.

Love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see but to understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let go but to HOLD ON. Don't ever leave the one you love for.

A Silent Love

From the very beginning, the girl's family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

Due to family's pressure, the couple quarrel very often. Though the girl love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: "How deep is your love for me?"

As the guy is not good with his words, this often causes the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the girl often vents her anger on him. As for him, he only endures it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies in overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?"

The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he leaves, they got engaged.

The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it's hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice..

The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down.

During the stay in hospital, besides silence cry.. it's still just silence cry that accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply, and countless of phone calls.. all the girl could do, besides crying, is still crying....

The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy.

With a new environment, the girl learnt sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that he's back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When she opened the letter, she saw her name in it instead.


When she was about to ask her friend what's going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language telling her "I've spent a year's time to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You. With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.

~1,000 Burung Kertas~

Sewaktu Boy dan Girl baru becinta, Boy melipat 1,000 burung kertas buat dara pujaan,menggantungkannya di dalam kamar si gadis. Menurut Boy,1,000 burung kertas itu menandakan 1,000 ketulusan hatinya.Kala itu, terasa betapa indahnya cinta mereka berdua. Tetapi, sampai satu ketika,Girl mula menjauhi Boy. Tiba-tiba sahaja Girl mengambil keputusan untuk mendirikan rumah tangga dan akan mengikut bakal suaminya menetap di Paris,tempat yang selama ini sering diimpikannya. Sewaktu Girl mahu memutuskan perhubungannya dengan Boy, mereka telah bertemu buat kali terakhir. Berkata Girl kepada Boy.
"kita harus melihat dunia ini dengan pandangan yang luas.Berkahwin bagi seorang anak gadis sepertiku adalah kehidupan kedua kalinya. Aku mengambil kesempatan ini dengan baik. Kamu terlalu miskin,sungguh aku tidak berani membayangkan bagaimana kehidupan kita setelah bernikah nanti! "
Setelah Girl terbang ke Perancis, Boy bekerja behempas pulas. Dia pernah menjual surat khabar, berniaga kecil-kecilan dan mengambil upah sana-sini. Setiap pekerjaannya Boy laksanakan dengan sangat baik dan tekun. Beberapa tahun kemudian, atas jasa baik seorang rakan di samping kerja kerasnya juga, Boy akhirnya berjaya mempunyai sebuah syarikat sendiri. Boy sudah kaya tetapi hatinya masih teringatkan Girl. Sungguh dia masih tidak tegar untuk melupakan insan yang pernah bertakhta dan menjadi cinta hatinya dulu. Pada suatu hari, waktu itu hujan renyai-renyai. Dari kereta mewahnya, Boy melihat sepasang warga emas berjalan perlahan-lahan di hadapannya. Dia seperti mengenali kelibat tua itu tetapi siapa ya? Tidak lama dia berfikir.... Ah, mana mungkin dia lupakan ibu bapa Girl yang pernah kenal baik dengannya dulu. Boy ingin mereka tahu bahawa sekarang,dia bukan sahaja mampu memandu kenderaan mewah tetapi juga menjadi pemilik sebuah 'istana' dan bisnes sendiri. Dia mahu mereka tahu bahawa Boy sekarang bukan lagi Boy yang miskin seperti dahulu. Lalu, Boy mengikuti mereka dengan rapat dari belakang. Dia tidak sabar untuk melihat reaksi mereka nanti. Hujan terus turun tanpa henti. Biarpun kedua-dua orang tua itu memakai payung tetapi badan mereka tetap basah kerana tempias. Sewaktu mereka sampai ke tempat yang dituju, Boy tercengang dengan apa yang ada di hadapan matanya-sebuah pusara. Terpahat sebuah nama yang pernah membuat rawan dihatinya. Di samping pusara itu, terdapat beberapa burung kertas yang pernah dilipat oleh Boy, saling bergantungan.Dalam hujan, burung-burung keras itu terlihat begitu hidup. Orang tua Girl memberitahu Boy,Girl tidak pergi ke Paris tetapi dia berada di syurga. Girl sebenarnya diserang penyakit kanser. Girl ingin Boy menjadi seseorang serta mempunyai sebuah keluarga yang harmoni.Girl tahu,itu semua hanya akan menjadi realiti dengan cara begitu. Menurut Girl, dia sangat memahami Boy. Dia percaya,kalau Boy berusaha,pasti akan berhasil. Girl juga mengatakan, kalau pada suatu hari Boy akan datang ke pusaranya, tiada apa yang diharapkan selain burung-burung kertas Boy.Mendengarkan itu,Boy menjadi longlai. Dia hanya mampu berlutut di depan pusara itu. Tangisannya kedengaran begitu sayu dan menyayat hati. Hujan pada hari itu terasa tidak akan berhenti,membasahi sekujur tubuh Boy. Boy teringat senyuman manis Girl yang begitu polos. Mengingat semua itu, 'hatinya mulai menitiskan darah'. Setelah agak lama termangu di situ,mereka bertiga berjalan seiringan. Boy membukakan pintu kereta untuk ibu bapa Girl yang sudah dianggapnya seperti ibu bapa sendiri. Terdengar sebuah lagu sedih bermain secara berulang-ulang dari kenderaanya.

"Hatiku tidak pernah menyesal menyintai mu..

Semuanya hanya untukmu, 1,000 burung kertas..

1,000 ketulusan hatiku, Bertebangan di dalam angin,

Menginginkan bintang yang lebat bersebaran di langit..

Apakah aku mampu bertemu dengan mu? Tidak takut berapapun jauhnya, Hanya ingin sekarang langsung berlari ke sampingmu.. Masa lalu seperti asap, hilang dan tak akan kembali.. Menambah kerinduan di hatiku.. Bagaimanapun dicari, jodoh kehidupan ini pasti tidak akan berubah.."
