Pada hari minggu lalu, Susi Tarigan, bersama salah satu saudara perempuannya dan Lucy Silver, teman kuliahnya berkebangsaan Australia yang sedang belajar Sastra Indonesia di Universitas Negeri Surabaya, bersama-sama sedang naik kapal pesiar Artama. Mereka akan menikmati layanan wisata bahari yang diadakan oleh Artama Harbor Cruise di kota Surabaya, dan sesuai jadwal rencananya kapal pesiar tersebut akan mengunjungi perairan Tanjung Perak, Terminal Peti Kemas, Cagar Budaya Kantor Syahbandar, Monumen Jalesveva Jayamahe dan Jembatan Suramadu.

Saat itu Susi sedang berbincang-bincang dengan Lucy di dek kapal, sambil menunggu keberangkatan kapal tersebut. Tiba-tiba saudara perempuan Susi muncul dari belakang sambil membawakan minuman soda untuk mereka berdua dan kemudian setelah menyerahkan minuman itu, ia kembali lagi ke dalam ruangan cafetaria yang ada bagian kabin belakang kapal.

Lucy, si ekspatriat penasaran dengan saudara perempuan Susi dan kebetulan belum diperkenalkan kepadanya. Tak pelak lagi, Lucy melontarkan pertanyaan kepada Susi.

"Susi kamu kenal dengan perempuan itu?"

"Itu saudara perempuan saya," jawab Susi.

"Oh.... boleh tahu, namanya siapa?"

"Mysister"

"Iya saya tahu itu saudara perempuanmu, cuma namanya siapa?" Lucy mempertegas pertanyaannya lagi.

"Mysister.... ya itu Mysister!" Susi menjawab dengan nada agak keras.

"bukan.... maksudnya nama yang saya tanyakan!" Lucy mengulang pertanyaannya kepada Susi.

"Itu Mysister....betul Mysister!"

Lucy akhirnya diam dengan wajah agak cemberut. Tak dinyana akhirnya Susi baru tersadar kalau yang saudara perempuannya itu bernama Mysister Tarigan. Tergopoh-gopoh ia mengkoreksi jawabannya.

"Ouw...! She is my sister, and her name is Mysister Tarigan."

Akhirnya Lucy pun baru mengerti bahwa telah terjadi kesalahpahaman,"Oh... I see, dia saudara perempuanmu yang bernama Mysister Tarigan."

Tampak mereka berdua tertawa terbahak-bahak, kemudian kapal membunyikan bel sebanyak dua kali dan perjalanan pesiar itu pun dimulai.(hpx)

My Sister, Mysister Tarigan

Last week, Susi Tarigan, with one of her sisters and Lucy Silver, an Australian classmate studying Indonesian Literature at Surabaya State University, were together on the Artama cruise ship. They will enjoy maritime tourism services organized by Artama Harbor Cruise in Surabaya, and according to the schedule the cruise ship will visit the waters of Tanjung Perak, Container Terminal, Syahbandar Office of Cultural Heritage, Jalesveva Jayamahe Monument and Suramadu Bridge.

At that time Susi was chatting with Lucy on the ship's deck, waiting for the ship's departure. Suddenly Susi's sister appeared from behind carrying soda for the two of them and then after handing it over, she returned to the cafeteria room which was at the cabin behind.

Lucy, the expatriate was curious about Susi's sister and incidentally had not been introduced to her. Inevitably, Lucy asked Susi a question.

"Susi do you know who is that woman?"

"That's my sister," answered Susi.

"Oh .... may I know, what's her name?"

"Mysister!"

"Yes, I know about that, she is your sister, could you tell me her name?" Lucy emphasized her question.

"Mysister .... that is right, Mysister!" Susi answered with a little loud voice.

"No.... I mean her name that is my question!" Lucy repeated her question again.

Lucy finally silent for while, her face looked frowning. Then Susi finally realized that her sister's name was Mysister Tarigan. Soon, she corrected the answer.

"Ouw...! She is my sister, and her name is Mysister Tarigan."

At last, Lucy understood that there had been a misunderstanding, "Oh ... I see, she's your sister name is Mysister Tarigan."

They laughed loudly, then the ship rang the bell twice and the journey began. (hpx)
