Mengapa 'Maaf Lahir Batin' Bisa Jadi Kalimat yang Paling Susah Kita Ucapkan untuk Diri Sendiri?

Dua hari sejak Idulfitri 1447 H, saya berpindah dari satu rumah ke rumah lain. Menyetir (lebih tepatnya jadi tukang ojek), makan, bersalaman, dan saling mengucapkan minal aidin walfaizin, mohon “maaf” lahir dan batin.

Foto grup Mahéng (Rahmat Ali) bersama Karmele Llano Sánchez dan tim besar Yayasan IAR Indonesia di depan sebuah rumah beratap merah di Ketapang, Kalimatan Barat. Mahéng tampak mengenakan kaos abu-abu, jongkok di barisan belakang seorang anak kecil, tepat di belakang Karmele Llano Sánchez yang duduk di tengah depan. Visual kebersamaan ini mengilustrasikan esai reflektif Mahéng berjudul 'Mengapa Maaf Lahir Batin Bisa Jadi Kalimat yang Paling Susah Kita Ucapkan untuk Diri Sendiri?'. Sebagai penulis buku Runduma: Surga Kecil di Wakatobi dan novel Nayanika serta lulusan Sosiologi Agama UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, Mahéng konsisten membedah hubungan antara narasi sosial, tanggung jawab moral, dan pengalaman kemanusiaan di Ketapang.
