Hanya Bulan Yang Mengerti

tik... tik.. tik...
setetes demi setetes air mata Venti menetes... di depan sebuah laptop putih kesayangannya. Ia putar kembali ingatannya ke kejadian barusan. Di sebuah ruangan penuh barang dagangan, dengan duduk di atas sebuah kursi plastik putih di depan meja kayu kuning, ia masih menikmati sorenya yang damai. Seorang lelaki kecil kemudian menghampirinya. Raut mukanya tak begitu bersahabat, ia lalu tersenyum. Venti telah menduga, pasti ada yang diinginkan adiknya. Ia tak menghiraukannya, namun terus ia layani pembeli yang datang silih berganti di hari itu.
"Kak, pinjam sepeda ya." sahut Vinto adik satu-satunya Venti. Venti hanya diam. Ia berpikir keras, bagaimana ia harus berkata untuk menceramahi adiknya itu.
 "Untuk apa? Mau kemana? "
"Aku mau ke rumah Bibi kak, mau main badminton sama teman-teman."
 "Kenapa sepeda kakak penuh lumpur? Kau jatuh ya?"
"Tidak, kak. Aku tidak jatuh. KENAPA KAKAK TERUS MELONTARKAN PERTANYAAN YANG SAMA? KOK TAK PERCAYA PADAKU?" ucapnya dengan nada tinggi.
"Bukannya tak percaya, tapi wajahmu tak mengyakinkan. Lebih baik kau jujur daripada nanti kakak marah!"
"Suer kak, aku tak pernah jatuh." Ia menahan air mata.
"Kenapa kau tak pernah sehari saja tak keluar? Kau tahu kenapa kakak tidak mau kau meminjam sepeda itu? Kenapa kau tak kakak biarkan pergi begitu saja?"
"Karena aku bosan kak! Setiap hari, hanya aku yang dimarahi. Papa selalu memarahiku. Aku tak tahan, aku tak suka berada di rumah. Lalu kenapa kakak menahanku?"
"Kau tahu kenapa papa marah padamu?!!? Karena dia sayang padamu. Dia tak mau anaknya melakukan kesalahan yang sama. Dia marah demi kebaikan anaknya. Tiap kali papa selesai marah, ia pasti menangis. Kamu tahu tidak? Kalau kamu bukan anaknya, bukan adikku, kami tak akan memarahimu. Mau kamu jatuh atau kenapa-kenapa akan kami biarkan. Karena kamu anaknya, adikku, kami takut kau salah langkah."
"Aku tak akan salah langkah kak."
"Aku sudah pernah mengalami masa-masa sepertimu. Kamu masih labil. Apa yang orang suruh mudah kau lakukan! Kau tahu, baru 2 3 hari kau keluar, sudah berani kau lawan perkataan papa, berani kau bicara keras-keras pada mama. Apa yang kau pelajari di luar sana ha?!?"
"Aku tu kesel kan. Tiap kali aku dimarah terus!" ucapnya sambil mengusap air mata.
"Kemarin papa sama sekali tak marah padamu. Sudah, masa anak lelaki selemah itu, baru diceramahin sedikit kok."

Lalu, Vinto bergegas masuk ke dalam kamarnya. Venti merenung semua yang baru ia katakan pada Vinto. Di lubuk hatinya tersimpan sejuta kekhawatiran akan perubahan sikap Vinto. Baginya, bahkan jika harus dibenci oleh adik semata wayangnya itu, ia rela asalkan adiknya tidak salah langkah. Ia takut jika suatu saat adiknya menjadi seorang yang terjebak dalam pergaulan bebas yang berdampak besar. Tanpa ia sadari, mama menghampirinya. Usai kedatangan mama, Venti bergegas masuk ke dalam rumah berdinding putih itu. tepat di sebuah ruangan kecil berpintu biru, ia putar pegangan pintu itu untuk membukanya. Namun, pintu itu terkunci. Ia mengetok pintu. terdengar sahutan dari dalam "Sabarlah, orang ganti celana pun mau lihat!"
"Cepat buka pintunya.!"

Perlahan pintu pun terbuka. Venti memasuki ruangan beralas karpet itu. Di ambilnya segantung kunci dari sakunya. "Nih kuncinya."
Senyuman lebar pun terlukis di wajah bulat Vinto. Tapi, seketika kemudian kembali suram.
"Tapi, ada dua pilihan. Jika kau naik sepeda kau harus pulang jam 17.30 WIB. Jika kau kuantar, sampai jam berapa pun boleh."
"Nih lah yang aku tak suka. Kau naik sepeda tak pernah kularang. kenapa kau melarangku?!"
"Kan sudah kukatakan. Kalau tak mau ya sudah!"
Venti bergegas keluar sementara Vinto tetap diam.

"Aku tahu kau pintar! Aku tahu sepeda itu milikmu! Maka itu kau bisa sok-sok tak mau meminjamkan untukku." terdengar suara amarah dari dalam kamar kecil
"Terserah padamu saja!"
"Lihat saja nanti, akan aku balas kau!" ucapnya terus...

Venti tak menghiraukan semua ucapan Vinto. Di putarnya lagu dari laptopnya sekeras mungkin. Ia hanya mendengar lagu dari laptopnya, sementara Vinto terus berucap tanpa berhenti.

Dibukanya Facebook, dan di updatenya status penuh amarah. sayangnya, hal itu tak ada gunanya, tanpa sadar, ia menangis. Hatinya serasa sakit. Ia benci pada dirinya yang gagal.

Hari itu, serasa matahari berada 10 cm darinya, begitu membakar dirinya. Ia menderita. Berharap semua baik-baik saja. Agar ketika bulan datang menggantikan, Ia akan merasakan kesejukan akan kedamaian hari ini. Baginya, menatap bulan, layaknya bercerita padanya. Hanya bulan yang mengerti! :)
