MEILING sudah tahu. Saya tidak bisa ikut ”upacara” setelah makan seperti itu. Terlalu panjang. Terlalu lama. Terlalu malam. Saya harus mengatur istirahat.<\/p>\n

“Biar mereka happy-happy di sini. Anda saya antar pulang ke hotel. Besok pagi-pagi kan harus senam,” ujar Meiling. Ia pun pamit suaminyi. Juga pamit teman-temannyi itu. Dia yang mengemudikan mobil Bentley suaminyi. Seharga Rp 18 miliar.<\/p>\n

Upacara seperti itu sebenarnya sudah sangat biasa saya ikuti \u2013secara pasif. Di Singapura. Di Hongkong. Di Taiwan. Di banyak kota di Tiongkok.<\/p>\n

Awalnya mereka hanya memesan anggur merah: wine. Saat mulai makan. Satu botol. Dituangkan ke gelas khusus wine masing-masing. Gelas itu pun diangkat. Saling bersulang.<\/p>\n

Saya selalu menyentuhkan gelas saya lebih rendah dari gelas mereka: berisi air putih. Itu sebagai penanda saya lebih junior \u2013di bidang ini. Juga penanda saya lebih menghormati mereka.<\/p>\n

Sebagian dari mereka membalas sopan santun itu. Dengan cara lebih merendahkan posisi gelas mereka. Saya kembali merendahkan lagi gelas saya. Mereka juga kembali merendahkan gelas mereka.<\/p>\n

Begitulah adat mereka.<\/p>\n

Boleh dikata, setiap selesai menyuap satu sendok salah satu dari mereka mengajak bersulang. Satu sendok lagi, yang lain yang mengajak bersulang. Sekali makan begini bersulangnya bisa 50 kali.<\/p>\n

Satu botol itu pun habis.<\/p>\n

Datang lagi botol berikutnya. Sebagai wartawan, saya kurang cermat: tidak menghitung berapa botol yang sudah mereka minum.<\/p>\n

Begitu makanan habis. Dipesanlah botol jenis lain. Baijiu. Spirit. Arak. Warna bening. Gelas pun diganti yang kecil. Diisi es batu. Bai jiu pun dituangkan. Sekali teguk. Gan bei!<\/p>\n

Lalu diisi lagi. Dituangkan lagi. Sambil terus ngobrol. Teguk lagi. Ngobrol lagi. Gan bei lagi.<\/p>\n

Sebagian wajah mereka mulai memerah. Ada juga yang tidak. Yang tidak merona itu pertanda lebih kuat.<\/p>\n

Saya bagian menuangkannya. Daripada ikut meminumnya. Es batu habis. Mangkuk penuh es batu berikutnya disajikan. Ini pertanda satu botol itu bukan yang terakhir.<\/p>\n

Pasti. Bukan.<\/p>\n

Salah satu dari mereka pun berdiri. Menghilang. Sesaat kemudian ia datang lagi. Ada botol besar di tangannya.<\/p>\n

Botol itu besar! Tapi isinya tidak penuh. Seperti sudah berkurang sepertiga.<\/p>\n

Ternyata ia mengambil botol itu dari tempat penyimpanan Baijiu di restoran itu.<\/p>\n

“Ini restoran milik anggota klub. Saya anggota di sini. Boleh titip minuman di sini,” katanya.<\/p>\n

Saya lihat restoran ini bintang lima. Lokasinya di tengah-tengah lapangan golf. Ini club house.<\/p>\n

Rupanya teman itu lama tidak ke sini. Selama pandemi. Setelah Covid, inilah kali pertama ia ke restoran ini. “Sudah lebih 2 tahun tidak makan dan main main golf di sini,” katanya.<\/p>\n

“Berarti, minuman ini sudah lebih dua tahun disimpan di sini?” tanya saya.<\/p>\n

“Sudah enam tahun,” jawabnya.<\/p>\n

Ia lantas menunjukkan tulisan di botol itu. Ada nama pemiliknya. Ada tanggal berapa pertama dititipkan di situ.<\/p>\n

Tahun 2016.<\/p>\n

Saya pun mulai siap-siap mental. Harus menemani mereka sampai menghabiskan 2\/3 botol itu.<\/p>\n

Untunglah Meiling menyelamatkan saya. Biasanya Robert Lai yang jadi juru selamat. Robert belum berani keluar rumah. Demi istrinya yang kalau sampai kena Covid akan fatal sekali.<\/p>\n

Keesokan harinya saya dijemput si penitip botol.<\/p>\n

“Tadi malam, isi botol itu habis? Atau masih ada sisa untuk disimpan lagi?” tanya saya.<\/p>\n

“Habis,” jawabnya.<\/p>\n

“Apakah disimpan selama enam tahun tidak berubah rasa?” tanya saya lagi.<\/p>\n

“Sepanjang disimpan di botol kaca atau botol keramik tidak akan bisa berubah,” jawabnya.<\/p>\n

Sepanjang pengalaman saya, ”upacara” seperti itu paling meriah di Taiwan. Paling sunyi di Jepang. Tengah-tengahnya Singapura.<\/p>\n

Di Taiwan, ”upacara” seperti itu riuhnya bukan main. Selesai satu tegukan diikuti permainan kalah-menang. Pakai dua tangan. Jari digenggam atau jari dibuka. Tebak-tebakan. Sambil bicara-bicara keras. Tertawa keras.<\/p>\n

Itulah cara mereka meraih kebahagiaan. Kerja keras, minum keras, tertawa lepas.<\/p>\n

Putin dan Zelenskyy mestinya ikut cara Taiwan itu saja. (Dahlan Iskan)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
