Cinta Pertama Romeo, who is she?

Cinta Pertama Romeo

Fokus setiap orang saat menonton atau membaca kisah Romeo dan Juliet kebanyakan akan berkisar pada mereka berdua. Tapi aku ingin mengungkap tokoh yang banyak diabaikan di sini. Cinta pertama Romeo. Bukan, bukan Juliet, cinta pertama Romeo adalah kemenakan dari Capulet, Rosaline.

Rosaline dalam Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet

Sebelum Romeo bertemu Juliet, ia mencintai Rosaline. Ia menggambarkannya dengan sangat indah "Semua yang melihat matahari, tak pernah melihat jodohnya sejak dunia dimulai", namun Rosaline tetap memilih untuk selibat. Romeo pun mengatakan "She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow / Do I live dead that live to tell it now". Dalam keadaan depresi itu ia membuat teman2nya tidak senang, Benvolio dan Mercutio pun memaksa Romeo untuk menyusup ke pesta dansa yang diadakan oleh Lord Capulet (Ayah Juliet), dengan harapan ia bertemu Rosaline. Mereka juga mengatakan "Rosaline akan terlihat seperti gagak jika disandingkan dengan wanita-wanita cantik yang lain".

Olivia Hussey  and Leonard Whiting as Romeo and Juliet (1968)

Meskipun ragu dan tidak percaya ucapan teman2nya, Romeo pun tetap menghadiri pesta dansa itu. Dan disana ia bukannya melanjutkan perasaan cintanya pada Rosaline, namun justru jatuh cinta secara tiba-tiba kepada Juliet. Dalam bayanganku, Rosaline mengatakan "Romeo, begitu dangkal cintamu".

Ya, menurutku cinta Romeo memang dangkal, ia memiliki hati muda, hati yang mudah berubah-ubah. Coba bayangkan jika ia dan Juliet berhasil keluar dari Verona dan hidup bersama, kehidupan mereka takkan bahagia. Mungkin Juliet berubah jadi ibu-ibu gemuk beranak lima, atau mungkin Romeo akan jadi pengangguran luntang-luntung. Karena itulah pengarangnya memutuskan mereka untuk mati saja. Bukankah cinta abadi adalah cinta yang dibumbui kematian, meskipun jiwa itu mati, tapi cinta itu yang akan abadi. Oh, omong kosong dari mana yang aku dapat ini.


Bagaimanapun ada sajak yang selalu kuingat dari kisah ini
"What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Apalah arti sebuah nama? Mawar dengan nama lain akan sama wanginya.

Serta lagu yang dibawakan Nino Rota pada film Romeo Juliet garapan Zeffirelli.

What is a youth?

What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags on

A rose will bloom,
It then will fade
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.

Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has it's season for awhile
Then Love's in love with me

Some may think only to marry.
Others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry,
Cupid he rules us all.

Caper the caper; sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Love is a pass-time that never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Cupid he rules us all.

 

Malangnya si Rosaline, kisahnya sama kayak Min Hyo Rin di drama Princess Hours dan pastinya ada lagi wanita yang nasibnya sama seperti mereka... Berbanggalah memiliki cinta yang dalam untuk seseorang :)

HADIAH SANG AYAH

Seorang pemuda sebentar lagi akan di wisuda, sebentar
lagi dia akan menjadi seorang sarjana, akhir jerih
payahnya selama beberapa tahun di bangku
pendidikan.
Beberapa bulan yang lalu dia melewati sebuah
showroom, dan saat itu dia jatuh cinta kepada sebuah mobil
sport, keluaran terbaru dari Ford. Selama beberapa bulan dia
selalu membayangkan, nanti pada saat wisuda ayahnya pasti
akan membelikan mobil itu kepadanya. Dia yakin, karena dia
anak satu-satunya dan ayahnya sangat sayang padanya, sehingga
dia yakin banget nanti dia pasti akan mendapatkan mobil itu.
Diapun berangan-angan mengendarai mobil itu, bersenangsenang
dengan teman-temannya. Bahkan semua mimpinya itu
dia ceritakan ke teman-temannya. 
Saatnya pun tiba, siang itu,
setelah wisuda, dia melangkah pasti ke ayahnya.
Sang ayah tersenyum, dan dengan berlinang air mata karena
terharu dia mengungkapkan betapa dia bangga akan anaknya,
dan betapa dia mencintai anaknya itu. Lalu dia pun
mengeluarkan sebuah bingkisan,... bukan sebuah kunci! Dengan
hati yang hancur sang anak menerima bingkisan itu, dan dengan
sangat kecewa dia membukanya. Dan dibalik kertas kado itu ia
menemukan sebuah catatan yang bersampulkan kulit asli, di
kulit itu terukir indah namanya dengan tinta emas.
Pemuda itu menjadi marah, dengan suara yang meninggi dia
berteriak, “Yaahh... Ayah memang sangat mencintai saya, dengan
semua uang ayah, ayah belikan catatan ini untukku?”
Lalu dia membanting catatan itu dan lari meninggalkan
ayahnya. Ayahnya tidak bisa berkata apa-apa, hatinya hancur,
dia berdiri mematung ditonton beribu pasang mata yang hadir
saat itu.

Tahun demi tahun berlalu, sang anak telah menjadi seorang
yang sukses. Dengan bermodalkan otaknya yang cemerlang dia
berhasil menjadi seorang yang terpandang. Dia mempunyai
rumah yang besar dan mewah, dan dikelilingi istri yang cantik
dan anak-anak yang cerdas.
Sementara itu ayahnya semakin tua dan tinggal sendiri. Sejak
hari wisuda itu, anaknya pergi meninggalkan dia dan tak pernah
menghubungi dia. Dia berharap suatu saat dapat bertemu
anaknya itu, hanya untuk meyakinkan dia betapa kasihnya pada
anak itu. Sang anak pun kadang rindu dan ingin bertemu dengan
sang ayah, tapi mengingat apa yang terjadi pada hari wisudanya,
dia menjadi sakit hati dan sangat mendendam.

Sampai suatu hari datang sebuah telegram dari kantor kejaksaan
yang memberitakan bahwa ayahnya telah meninggal, dan
sebelum ayahnya meninggal, dia mewariskan semua hartanya
kepada anak satu-satunya itu. Sang anak disuruh menghadap
Jaksa wilayah dan bersama-sama ke rumah ayahnya untuk
mengurus semua harta peninggalannya. Saat melangkah masuk
ke rumah itu, mendadak hatinya menjadi sangat sedih,
mengingat semua kenangan semasa dia tinggal disitu. Dia
merasa sangat menyesal telah bersikap jelek terhadap ayahnya.
Dengan bayangan-bayangan masa lalu yang menari-nari di
matanya, dia menelusuri semua barang di rumah itu. Dan ketika
dia membuka brankas ayahnya, dia menemukan catatan itu,
masih terbungkus dengan kertas yang sama beberapa tahun
yang lalu.

Selesai dia membaca tulisan itu, sesuatu jatuh dari bagian
belakang catatan itu. Dia memungutnya.. sebuah kunci mobil!
Di gantungan kunci mobil itu tercetak nama dealer, sama dengan
dealer mobil sport yang dulu dia idamkan! Dia membuka
halaman terakhir catatan itu, dan menemukan di situ terselip
STNK dan surat-surat lainnya, namanya tercetak di situ. Dan
sebuah kwitansi pembelian mobil, tanggalnya tepat sehari
sebelum hari wisuda itu.
Dia berlari menuju garasi, dan di sana dia menemukan sebuah
mobil yang berlapiskan debu selama bertahun-tahun, meskipun
mobil itu sudah sangat kotor karena tidak disentuh bertahuntahun,
dia masih mengenal jelas mobil itu, mobil sport yang
dia dambakan bertahun-tahun lalu. Dengan buru-buru dia
menghapus debu pada jendela mobil dan melongok ke dalam.
Bagian dalam mobil itu masih baru, plastik membungkus jok
mobil dan setirnya, di atas dashboardnya ada sebuah foto, foto
ayahnya, sedang tersenyum bangga. Mendadak dia menjadi
lemas, lalu terduduk disamping mobil itu, air matanya tidak
terhentikan, mengalir terus mengiringi rasa menyesalnya yang
tak mungkin diobati...
