Artwork of a tough woman at the end of the village.

Day of the afternoon. The sun was beginning to decline on the western horizon. I rode my bike a little faster, tracing the village road to the tailor's location. He was at the end of the village, near the rice fields. I saw a simple house. The house is still the same as it used to be. I've been here, he was my schoolmate in elementary school first (SD).

Hari menjelang sore. Matahari sudah mulai menurun di ufuk Barat. Ku pacu motorku sedikit cepat, menelusuri jalan desa menuju lokasi tukang jahit. Dia berada di ujung desa, dekat persawahan. Kulihat sebuah rumah yang sederhana. Rumah itu masih seperti dulu. Aku pernah kemari, dia adalah kawan sekolahku semasa Sekolah Dasar (SD) dulu.

I stopped in front of his house. Speak for greeting. He came out and told me to go inside. After entering his house, I immediately declared my desire to sew clothes. I was amazed to see some of his work. Some pretty flowers are displayed on the table, and some of his other works are so beautiful.

Aku berhenti di depan rumahnya. Keberikan salam untuk menyapa. Dia keluar dan menyuruhku masuk. Setelah memasuki rumahnya, aku langsung menyatakan keinginanku untuk menjahit baju. Aku terpesona melihat beberapa karyanya. Beberapa bunga cantik terpajang di atas meja, dan beberapa karyanya yang lain yang begitu indah.

I saw some of his work. He used the unused stuff again to make various accessories. He made use of the stitching fabric to make flowers. A good work, for someone who lives in a remote place.

Aku melihat beberapa karyanya. Dia memanfaatkan barang yang tidak terpakai lagi untuk membuat berbagai asesoris. Dia memanfaatkan kain sisa jahitan untuk membuat bunga. Sebuah karya yang bagus, bagi seorang yang tinggal di tempat terpencil.

I am very impressed with him. He is only a graduate of elementary school. He lives in a poor family, must bear the cost of his mother's life. But in his limitations he is able to work. He is able to do something useful from used goods. Art talent has been around since school. He is very good at painting.

Saya sangat kagum sama dia. Dia sekolah hanya tamatan sekolah dasar. Dia hidup dalam keluarga miskin, harus menanggung biaya hidup ibunya. Tapi dalam keterbatasannya dia mampu berkarya. Dia mampu berbuat sesuatu yang bermanfaat dari barang bekas. Bakat seninya memang sudah ada sejak sekolah dulu. Dia sangat bagus dalam melukis.

I saw him sitting in front of the sewing machine. He is so passionate about working. I see so much live load through his eyes. But he never complained, he remained steadfast and always smiling. He is the head of the family, who must bear the cost of living his mother and sister.

Aku melihatnya duduk di depan mesin jahit. Dia begitu bersemangat dalam bekerja. Aku melihat begitu banyak beban hidup lewat matanya. Tapi dia tak pernah mengeluh, dia tetap tabah dan selalu tersenyum. Dia adalah kepala keluarga, yang harus menanggung biaya hidup ibu dan adiknya.

Poverty and lack of formal education do not limit him to work. I still remember the word he, Budin Talent it should be sharpened, as well as science, otherwise he will be dull and no longer useful. I am a woman, living in a remote village, but my mind can live anywhere. No one can curb my imagination, he's free. Therefore, I can work like this.

Kemiskinan dan kurang pendidikan formal tak membatasi dia untuk berkarya. Aku masih teringat kata dia, Budin Bakat itu harus diasah, begitu juga dengan ilmu, kalau tidak dia akan menjadi tumpul dan tak bermanfaat lagi. Aku memang seorang perempuan, yang hidup di desa terpencil, tapi pikiranku bisa hidup dimana saja. Tak ada yang bisa mengekang imajinasiku, dia merdeka. Oleh sebab itu, aku bisa berkarya seperti ini.

I was fascinated by the words. Full of meaning and very deep in meaning. I smiled, and asked permission to go home. I can only say, You are a great woman, It is only women who can bear the burden of life like this. See you tomorrow.

Aku terpesona mendengar kata-katanya. Penuh makna dan sangat dalam artinya. Aku tersenyum, dan sambil minta izin untuk pulang. Aku hanya bisa berucap, Engkau perempuan hebat, Memang hanya perempuan yang sanggup menahan beban hidup seperti ini. Sampai jumpa besok.

An inspiring post. The sewing machine reminds me of the one my mother used to have. When we couldn't afford clothes, she would find fabric and make us beautiful frocks for special occasions.
I especially appreciate it when an author translates so people in two languages can enjoy the work.

ancient times do wear sewing machine.
