Sinopsis

“Apalah arti memiliki, ketika diri kami sendiri bukanlah milik kami?

Apalah arti kehilangan, ketika kami menangis terluka atas perasaan yang seharusnya indah? Bagaimana mungkin, kami terduduk patah hati atas sesuatu yang seharusnya suci dan tidak menuntut apapun?

Wahai, bukankah banyak kerinduan saat kami hendak melupakan? Dan tak terbilang keinginan melupakan saat kami dalam rindu? Hingga rindu dan melupakan jaraknya setipis benang saja.”

Novel ini bercerita tentang perjalanan panjang sebuah kerinduan. Perjalanan kerinduan yang membawa banyak hal yang terbeban di hati. Mulai dari bagaimana ia menghadapi perjalanan dengan penuh dosa di masa lalu. Lalu seseorang yang melakukan perjalanannya dengan penuh kebencian. Ada punya dia yang kehilangan cintanya menjadi sebab mengapa ia melakukan perjalanan ini.

Cerita berlatar waktu pada masa pemerintahan Hindia Belanda. Yakni pada masa ketika Belanda masih menduduki Indonesia. Pada masa itu, pemerintah Hindia Belanda memberikan layanan perjalanan haji untuk rakyat pribumi yang memiliki cukup uang. Perjalanan dilakukan lewat laut yakni menggunakan kapal uap besar yang merupakan perkembangan teknologi transportasi tercanggih pada masa itu. Salah satu kapal yang beroperasi untuk melakukan perjalanan haji ini adalah Blitar Holland. Di kapal besar inilah segala kisahnya dimulai.

Tere Leye meracik cerita dengan begitu menarik. Belum lagi dengan nuansa latar yang berbeda seperti kehidupan di atas kapal uap besar. Di atas kapal juga terjadi interaksi sosial antar penumpang kapal. Juga terdapat fasilitas-fasilitas umum seperti kantin, masjid, dan tukang jahit kapal.

Diceritakan mengenai keluarga Daeng Andipati yang terdiri orang tua, seorang pembantu rumah tangga, serta dua anak yang mengikut perjalanan haji ini, yakni Anna dan Elisa. Mereka menjalani lamanya waktu perjalanan haji dengan riang gembira. Seakan tidak pernah mengerti tentang apa yang terpendam di hati Daeng, ayah mereka.

Ada pula tokoh yang bernama Ambo Uleng. Dia adalah seorang pelaut. Hampir seluruh hidupnya dihabiskan di atas lautan. Ambo Uleng rupanya menuruni sifat ayahnya yang seorang pelaut juga. Ia menaiki kapal Blitar Holland tidak dengan tujuan apapun. Tidak untuk bekerja, mengumpulkan uang, atau apapun. Ia hanya ingin pergi sejauh-jauhnya meninggalkan tanah Makassar yang ia jalani melalui kisah pilunya.

Di sisi lain, ada seorang keturunan Cina. Ia sering mengajari ngaji anak-anak di mushola kapal sepanjang perjalanan haji. Anak-anak biasa memanggilnya Bonda Upe. Bonda Upe ini rupanya sedang memendam masa lalunya sebelum memeluk Islam. Hingga tiap malam ia selalu menangisi dosa-dosanya yang dulu.

Dari sini pula diceritakan Gurutta Ahmad Karaeng, ulama tersohor asal Makassar yang mengikuti perjalanan haji. Beliau rutin melaksanakan solat berjamaah bersama penumpang lain. Secepat itu pula Gurutta meminta izin kepada kapten untuk mengadakan pengajian di atas kapal. Beliau adalah sosok yang selalu memberikan jawaban terbaik atas pertanyaan orang-orang. Namun ternyata ia sendiri telah memendam lama sebuah pertanyaan yang tak mampu seorang pun menjawab

Kelebihan dan kekurangan buku

Adapun kelebihan buku ini adalah alur ceritanya yang begitu menarik dan mengalir untuk dibaca. Juga menyajikan nuansa latar yang berbeda. Yakni peristiwa kehidupan yang terjadi di atas kapal ibarat kapal uap besar itu adalah sebuah kampung. Sedang kekurangan buku ini terletak pada sampul buku yang kurang begitu menarik. Tidak sebanding dengan isinya yang begitu menarik untuk dibaca.

Conditional sentences. “If” clause: verb in past tense, main clause: verb in present tens

Conditional sentences that contain an “if” clause in the past and end with the main clause in the present are generally expressing imaginative or hypothetical conditions. In these conditional sentences, the past perfect is used to refer to a past event. As a refresher, the past perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before in another action. These sentences can also show the reader that something happened before a specific time in the past. Therefore, the form of the unreal conditional sentence in this situation is as follows:

If + past perfect, would + have + past participle

Consider the following sentence

If I had had time, I would have cleaned the house.

The speaker in this sentence is informing their audience that they did not have time to clean the house.

Countable & Uncountable nouns

1. Pengertian Countable Noun.
   Kata benda yang dapat dihitung adalah benda yang dapat dihitung dengan mudah. Contoh: book (buku). Kita bisa mengatakan 1 buku, 2 buku dst. Berikut beberapa contoh countable nouns:
   dog, cat, animal, man, person
   bottle, box, liter
   coin, note, dollar
   cup, plate, fork
   table, chair, suitcase, bag

·         Rumus Penggunaan Countable Noun.
a). Countable nouns bisa dalam bentuk singular (single/satu) or plural (jamak (lebih dari satu)):
Untuk menunjukkan bahwa benda lebih dari satu cukup menambahkan huruf “S” di belakangnya:
My dog is playing.
My dogs are hungry.
b). Kita juga bisa menambahkan indefinite article (penanda benda yang tidak jelas/umum) a/an di depannya:
A dog is an animal.
c). Ketika countable noun adalah singular, kita harus menambahkan a/the/my/this:
I want an orange. (bukan I want orange.)
Where is my bottle? (bukan Where is bottle?)
d). Tapi jika jamak/lebih dari satu, kita bisa menggunakannya tanpa article (penanda):
I like oranges.
Bottles can break.
e). Kita juga bisa menambahkan some dan any (beberapa) dengan countable nouns:
I’ve got some dollars.
Have you got any pens?
f). Kita bisa juga menggunakan kata a few (beberapa) dan many (banyak):
I’ve got a few dollars.
I haven’t got many pens.

2.      Pengertian Uncountable Noun.
adalah kata benda yang tidak bisa dihitung dengan sendirinya, harus dengan alat bantu seperti liter, bottle, dsb. Kita tidak tidak dapat membaginya menjadi beberapa bagian. Contoh: kata “milk/susu”. Kita bisa menghitungnya dengan alat bantu yaitu liter atau botol, contoh: “bottles of milk” or “litres of milk”, Tapi kita tidak bisa menghitung “milk” sendiri. Berikut contoh uncountable nouns:
music, art, love, happiness
advice, information, news
furniture, luggage, rice, sugar, butter, water
money, currency, dust, sand, money
air, anger, art, beer, blood, coffee
cash, courage, dirt

·         Rumus Penggunaan Uncountable Noun.
a). Kita harus memperlakukan uncountable nouns sebagai kata benda tunggal. Jadi kalau diikuti kata kerja, maka kata kerjanya harus berbentuk singular verb. Contoh:
This news is very important.
Your luggage looks heavy.
b). Kita juga tidak bisa menggunakan indefinite article a/an dengan uncountable nouns. kita tidak boleh mengatakan “an information” or “a music”. Tetapi kita bisa mengatakan “a something of“:
a piece of news
a bottle of water
a grain of rice
c). Kita bisa juga menggunakan some and any dengan uncountable nouns:
I’ve got some money.
Have you got any rice?
d). Kita bisa juga menggunakan a little and much dengan uncountable nouns:
I’ve got a little money.
I haven’t got much rice.
