REEN sebak setiap kali teringatkan dia. Sudah tiga hari dia menangis. Cukuplah. Air matanya kini sudah ke­ring untuk lelaki itu. Muka macam hero, tetapi hati macam binatang! Dasar manusia tidak berhati perut! Bencinya bukan dibuat-buat. Marahnya meluap-luap. Dia telah diperbodoh­kan oleh sepupu sendiri. Jadikan saudara sen­diri seperti barang permainan dan bahan ketawa. Maruahnya dipertaruhkan. Dia berasa cukup ter­hina. Hinaan paling besar kerana saudara sendiri yang melakukannya. “Tak guna!” Reen menyumpah. Hanya beberapa orang sahaja yang tahu hakikat permainan ini. Keluarganya langsung tidak tahu-menahu. Te­tapi dia pasti, suatu hari nanti akan heboh jua. Biarlah anak ini melihat dunia dulu. Dia tidak akan sesekali membenar­kan lelaki itu mendekatinya lagi. Dia akan pergi jauh dari sini. Biarlah kenangan pahit itu kekal di sini. Cameron Highlands sekali lagi menyaksikan kesedihan Nik Nazrini. Lara hatinya dibawa ke tanah dingin ini de­ngan ha­rapan akan sedikit sebanyak menyejukkan hati yang luka. Bila agaknya darah yang mengalir dari hati luka ini akan berhenti? Dia kurang pasti. Yang pasti, parut yang tinggal nanti tentu hodoh sekali. Dia bencikan parut yang bakal melekat dalam hatinya. Ia pasti akan menjadi dendam kesumat. Dendam pada manusia yang tidak berhati perut. Tergamak membakar impian orang lain semata-mata untuk menjaga ego sendiri.

Satu hal yang harus terus kita renungkan, kita hayati, yang mana hal itu akan membawa dampak di dalam hidup kita, yaitu perjalanan waktu. Mungkin kita sudah lupa karena kesibukan hidup dari hari ke hari dan segala kegiatan yang telah membelenggu hidup kita, dan kita telah terperangkap dalam siklus kegiatan hidup, serta segala tanggung jawab yang ada di dalamnya. Perjalanan waktu ini gagah, kokoh dan sebenarnya juga bisa mengerikan, kadang-kadang laksana sombong. Setiap detik waktu berdetak seiring detak janjung kita, konstan. Tidak ada yang bisa menghentikan perjalanan waktu ini kecuali Tuhan. Sekarang, bagaimana kita memiliki hati yang bijaksana dalam menyikapi, merespons perjalanan waktu yang kita ada di dalamnya?

In contrast to the scholarly attention given to the research of dance and music in other South-East Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, Malaysian performance traditions are rarely the focus of academic studies. Indeed, this is the first book to have been published on zapin, a Malaysian performing art which extends to Singapore and East Sumatra. The syncretic combination of Arab and Malay performance elements in this dance is explained in detail with the extensive use of dance notations and music transcriptions. The book argues that the transposition of zapin from a communal level to a national one involved not only a change in the context in which the dance is performed but also a change in its structure and cultural meaning. Finally, the book traces the historical evolution of the Malay dance form from a participatory art to one that is passively observed, and investigates the music and dance structure of the genre.

"Alif had never set foot outside of West Sumatra. He passed his childhood days searching for fallen durian fruit in the jungle, playing soccer on rice paddies, and swimming in the blue waters of Lake Maninjau. His mother wants him to attend an Islamic boarding school, a pesantren, while he dreams of public high school. Halfheartedly, he follows his mother’s wishes. He finds himself on a grueling three-day bus ride from Sumatra to Madani Pesantren (MP) in a remote village on Java. On his first day at MP, Alif is captivated by the powerful phrase man jadda wajada. He who gives his all will surely succeed. United by punishment, he quickly becomes friends with five boys from across the archipelago, and together they become known as the Fellowship of the Manara. Beneath the mosque’s minaret, the boys gaze at the clouds on the horizon, seeing in them their individual dreams of far-away lands, like America and Europe. Where would these dreams take them? They didn’t know. What they did know was: never underestimate dreams, no matter how high they may be. God truly is The Listener. The Land of Five Towers is the first book in a trilogy written by A.
