Gadis Pesisir
“Kalau Kakak tidak cinta dia, kenapa Kakak mau kawin sama dia?” Wajah Halijah terangkat. Gadis cilik berusia empat belas tahun itu menoleh ke arah adiknya. Mata bagusnya menatap Ai dengan tatapan sayang. Di mata bagusnya kini terekam tangan Dus yang bengkak kemerahan dan bilur-bilur kebiruan akibat pukulan sapu lidi Ibu Jawa, Ai yang menangis keras akibat hinaan Mamak Nur karena kedapatan memakai celana dalam bekas Wening, juga mereka sekeluarga yang kerap makan bubur nasi encer yang tak mampu membuat kenyang siapa pun. Halijah mengerjapkan matanya, berharap bayangan itu segera lenyap dari pikirannya. Tapi, semakin keras ia berusaha, semakin nyata bayangan itu menghantuinya. Maka, dengan nada setenang angin sore itu, Halijah pun menjawab, “Kalau aku bisa membuat kita tidak lapar dengan menikahi laki-laki tua itu, tidak ada yang jelek dengan itu. Sama sekali tidak ada yang jelek.”
Two Years in Australia’s Wild West
The Outback—so called because it is literally out the back of all major cities in Australia—has been the setting of many of Australia’s exported culturally defining stories and cinematography. Cattle stations or ranches in the Outback provide ample settings for tales to be dreamed up and shared through poem, song, and story. Two Years in Australia’s Wild West explores one man’s journey into this famed landscape. In this entertaining memoir, author, D. Alexander Steel shares the often harsh, and sometimes amusing, ways life can take us to unexpected but necessary places. Travel from Adelaide to the extreme and wild western edges of the Australian continent via sometimes humorous, sometimes serious vignettes. This book examines a young man’s coming of age and discusses the myriad ways God intervenes to help us grow into the people we’re meant to become. Through tales of brotherhood, family, and friends, be reminded that we each have a role in God’s grand design; it might just take a bit of wandering to find the way.
