Habis ngimami sholat jumat, ada kejadian tak biasa tadi. Pak dokter Yusuf, dokter yg jenggotnya sangat lebat, tiba2 menghampiri saya dan berkata:
"kaifa halk?"
"Alhamdulillah qowis." kata saya. "Fii sa'ah daqiqah linatakalam? A inta sughul wahid walaa fii shodiq tsanii fil ghurfah?"
"Wahid."
"O, ahsan, nahnu natakalam fil ghurfah."
"Aiwa." kata saya.
Lalu kami masuk kamar kerja saya. Percakapan beralih dalam bahasa inggris.
"How are you?"
"Fine, thanks. Alhamdulillah."
"Your name is...?"
"Basuki."
"I always listen to your khutbah carefully. And it is very good. Your khutbah is qur'anyy and sunnahi. It's far away from sufi-understanding nor toriqot-understanding that I don't agree with."
"Are you graduated from university or high school?"
"University."
"Were you a teacher?"
"Yes."
"Do you think salary is not good for teacher in Indonesia?"
"Aiwa, Doctor. Government-teacher maybe good but private-teacher is not."
"Where do you study Islam? Your tilawah Quran is very good, too."
"When junior high and senior high school I took Islamic school, Doctor. Then I study in university, but outside of the campus I learned Islam together with other friends."
"It's very good. I did like that too when I studied in university: I studied Islam outside the campus."
"And now I study Islam in Islamic Center in Arrabwah."
"In Rabwah? Oh, my son also studied there. It's near the traffic light, right? For two-half years."
"Yes, near the traffic light. And I am in the last Level now."
"O, great! Maa syaa'a Allah."
.....
Dan percakapan masih panjang. Akhirnya dr. Yusuf meminta nomor HP saya. Dan menawarkan kepada saya apakah saya butuh bantuan. Maksudnya bantuan apa ya? Jadi Ge-eR nih.#
