Alhamdulillah, yesterday I got a chance to share Winda’s
experience in RRI Bandung. Why could I be there? Actually, one of announcers in
RRI for English program is my best friend, Iska. She asked me to be a guest to
tell and share ‘Winda’s daily life’. So, these are several things I’m gonna
share with you guys (students, college students, juniors, seniors, the
teachers, the lecturers, and everyone else….). The program ran quite well with
Iska and Kang Mirza as the announcers, Kang Akbar as the operator, and Hana aka
me as the guest. For those who didn’t know about the recent news, I will
explain it first. I hope this simple sharing will inspire you.
Setiap
tahun pemerintah mengadakan program SM3T dimana para mahasiswa dari setiap
universitas yang concern sama masalah education bisa berpartisipasi. SM3T ini adalah
annual program yang dilaksanakan setiap tahun, program ini dibagi menjadi 3
bagian: pendidikan pada tingkat atas (kota besar/big cities), pendidikan pada
tingkat menengah (suburb areas), dan pendidikan pada daerah terpencil (rural
and impoverished areas).
UPI sebagai
universitas yang terkenal akan misi dan visinya dalam memajukan dunia
pendidikan selalu menjadi anggota yang mengirimkan banyak mahasiswanya dalam
program ini. Salah satunya sahabat saya, Winda Yulia dari pendidikan Matematika
UPI 2008. Winda terkenal sangat cerdas dan pintar, ia juga selalu memiliki daya
juang tinggi dalam mengajarkan ilmu yang ia miliki pada siapapun. Dia adalah
lulusan Pendidikan Matematika UPI dengan suma cumlaude. Selama 4 tahun berada
di UPI nilai B-nya hanya 1, yang lainnya A semua. Ga heran dong kalo ketua
jurusannya sendiri yang merekomendasikan Winda untuk mengikuti program
tersebut. Winda ditempatkan di Aceh Timur bersama beberapa mahasiswa UPI
lainnya.
Musibah itu terjadi minggu petang, saat para mahasiswa
baru saja pulang dari kota untuk membeli peralatan dan perlengkapan mengajar.
Winda (Pendidikan Matematika UPI 2008), Geugeut (Pendidikan Olahraga dan
Kesehatan), dan dua orang lainnya adalah mahasiswa yang tempat mengajarnya
paling jauh yaitu di atas sebuah puncak gunung, Aceh Timur. Pada awalnya mereka
tak menyadari bahwa musibah itu akan datang, namun tiba-tiba saat maghrib heavy
rain came, the river overflowed, and the boat that Winda and friends rode collapsed.
Dua orang mahasiwa selain Winda dan Geugeut selamat, sedangkan Winda dan
Geugeut terbawa derasnya air sungai yang meluap.
Winda ditemukan oleh tim SAR pada hari Kamis dengan tubuh
yang sudah kembung penuh dengan air. Tim SAR mengatakan bahwa Winda hanyut
sepanjang 80 km dari tempat boat terbalik. Sedangkan Geugeut hasn’t been found
yet until now.
Sebagai seorang sahabat yang sangat mengenal Winda, saya
benar-benar sangat terpukul mendengar kejadian ini. Saya menangis berhari-hari
memikirkan kebaikan dan ketulusan Winda, saya tak henti melantunkan Yasin dan
surat-surat pendek untuknya. Winda, I miss you already :’’’’’’’’’’)
Winda Yulia is a student of Mathematics Education in UPI
batch 2008. As a friend of her, I really get shocked when I’m reading a short
message from my boarder mate, Ica on Thursday 29th Nov 2012. The
message is “Assalamu’alaikum, Innalilllahi wa inna
ilayhi rojiun. Winda Yulia, our bestfriend has already passed away. May Allah
accept her good deeds and place her in the highest Jannah.”
After reading this mournful message, I can’t prevent my
eyes to cry. Yes, I’m crying a lot remembering all the things about her.
I knew her since 3rd semester when I was doing
a group work in my best friend boarder house, Junita and Viga. They introduced
me to Winda, they said that Winda is the genius one in Mathematics. She always
got the perfect GPA every semester. Yeah, she always got 4 perfectly. I ever
ask her “What is the formula to get a perfect GPA?” and she answer
“Study hard of course, pray, and always obey your parents.”
Winda Yulia is a superb genius student from Ciamis, West Java.
Her senior high school is located in suburb area where the road to get there is
quite rocky, but she never ashamed of her hometown because she believes that
everyone can be success if they have a willingness to success.
It’s not a joke. Winda is really a diligent student.
While my friends and I are watching TV to find an entertainment TV programs
after doing a group work, she is still enjoying reading her thick textbooks and
practice some exercises. Thumbs up!
Winda is not only
smart in terms of college life, but also in social life. She always takes the
opportunity to learn from anything. That’s why she decided to participate in
university program of teaching in rural and impoverished areas in East Aceh
because teaching is her passion especially to help poor and homeless people to
get the rights in education. She is known as a professor in her classmates. She
never refuses to help everyone else who has a problem in understanding some
formulas in Mathematics. She would help her classmates happily if they asked
about the complicated exercises.
She took the internship in 2 Junior High School Bandung,
and I chose 5 Junior High School. I often go to school together with her
because our schools are next each other. She always happy to go to school every
day, she loves teaching so much.
Before she left to Aceh, I met her when I want to buy a
breakfast.
She
called me: “Ssst..ssst..”.
I
turn my head back and find Winda.
Me:
“Hi Winda, when are you going to Aceh?”
and
she answered: “Insya Allah on… (I forgot the exact date actually).”
Me: “Wow,
that would be fun, right? Teaching children in rural areas in Aceh.”
Winda:
“Yeah, I’m very excited, can’t wait to get there. Don’t forget to pray for me
okay.”
Me: “Of
course I will, good luck!“
I never expect this accident will be happen to my friend,
Winda. She is reported that she has already floated in 2 days before the
rescuer (Tim SAR) found her. I think I still have a hope that Winda will be
saved, but Allah has different plan for her. Allah loves her so much, so He
wants to place Winda in a better place, in Jannah. Insya Allah.
Winda, you have taught me lots of things. You taught me
to keep studying, keep teaching, keep caring, and keep doing positive things.
You never complain when the problems come and difficulties appear. You taught
me to study hard and then transfer the knowledge to others sincerely. May you
rest in peace and may Allah grant the highest Jannah for her. We all love you and hard to let you go. Thank you for the
inspirations you’ve given us. Thanks for the inspiring advices. I will try to
be awesome as you are :D
"Peace be upon you! Enter Paradise for
what you did."(Surat an-Nahl: 31-32)
Dear lovely Winda, how’s heaven treating
you?
