Gadis Berjilbab Pilihan
Cantik nian akhlak gadis berjilbab, mengajar anak di gubuk yang tua
Daerah gubuk tempat si miskin, baca dan tulis huruf Al-Qur’an
Berbagi kasih pada putra harapan…
Diterik mentari si gadis cantik berbagi kasih
Kerja tanpa pamrih dengan hati bersih
Dan ikhlaas hati…

Sepenggal lagu lawas dari grup musik qosidah Nasidaria, mengingatkanku pada sahabat karibku. Jilbab yang pernah diberikannya, masih aku simpan dengan baik, dan sering aku kenakan. Lama aku tak berjumpa dengannya. Aku rindu akan kebersamaan dengannya, canda tawa yang menghiasi kebersamaan kami, susah senang kami hadapi dengan hati yang lapang. Tapi, kini ia telah pergi jauh. Aku sangat merindukannya. ’Obi, dimana persahabatan kita yang dulu?’ tanyaku dalam hati.

Aku beranjak dari tempat tidurku, dan berdiri mendekati almari bajuku. Aku mengambil jilbab yang pernah Obi berikan padaku. Aku dekap dalam pelukanku, sebagaimana aku melepaskan rinduku pada Obi. “

Pulau Pari - Pari Island

Overview

“Pari island’s western coasts include five smaller islands, namely: Gudus Island (Pulau Gudus), Middle Island (Pulau Tengah), Beautiful Bird Island (Pulau Burung Indah), Partnership Island (Pulau Kongsi) and Rat Island (Pulau Tikus).


The island-clustered lagoon that promises panoramic views is best explored by snorkeling or simply walking along the coasts of clean, white sandy beaches.”

One of the many little spots of paradise just a stone’s throw away from the bustling metropolitan capital, Jakarta, Pari Island is quite different from the more popular islands of  Pramuka and Tidung. Although not as popular a tourist destination, to a small community of “executive fishermen” it is one of the best fishing spots in the Thousand islands, otherwise known as Pulau Seribu. Tourists are sparse here, so if tranquility & peace is what you seek, you can be sure to find it here.

You will never tire of the beach sceneries on Pari Island. Swimming, diving or even snorkeling to catch a glimpse of the pretty coral beneath the warm waters is not to be missed. Make your way to Pantai Pasir Perawan (or Virgin Beach, so named because the early pioneers here had to work very hard to open the route to get there the first time) and feel the warm white sand between your toes. Here the sea breeze blows warmly and sends mild waves along the shores for children and even grown-ups to have plenty of fun!

Volleyball and futsal fields are available on the beach including a bamboo shelter with seats, a rowboat for paddling along the coast, and rubber tubes to play with in the water. At sunset, enjoy ice-cold coconut water as the warm evening sea breeze caresses and refreshes you : a sure remedy for stress and a tired mind.

Soft white sand, lovely breeze, calm waves and gentle ripples will all make you want to linger a little longer to more fully partake of the beauty of this beach.


Have fun cycling along the scenic coasts, exchanging smiles with the islanders as you ride by. The population on Pari Island however, is less dense compared with Pramuka and Tidung Islands, and the environment pleasantly clean and tidy.


Besides the beaches and exploring underwater, you can also learn about and participate in seaweed cultivation. At the southern tip and to the west lies the Indonesian Institute of Sciences’ Oceanographic Development Centre (LIPI, Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia). Here you may plant mangrove or ketapang trees, or explore the LIPI-owned laboratory for underwater research and marine life such as sharks, rayfish, seaweed and other varieties of animal and plant species found in the waters of Pari Island and its surroundings. Seaweed is the main commodity that is successfully cultivated in the waters around Pari Island today.


How the Island got its name:

The first family who fled Tangerang to escape forced labour for the Colonial Dutch, arrived on this remote uninhabited island and saw a large number of ray fish in the waters and thus, named their new home Pulau Pari or Rayfish Island.
