KANIGARAN - Nampak bendera merah putih dikibarkan setengah tiang di halaman kantor Wali Kota Probolinggo, jalan Panglima Sudirman Nomor 19. Suasana Kota Probolinggo pagi tadi, Rabu (9/12) begitu syahdu.
Guyuran hujan gerimis dan awan mendung, seolah turut berduka atas meninggalnya salah satu putera terbaik Kota Probolinggo, Wakil Wali Kota Mochammad Soufis Subri.
Hadir sejumlah anggota Forkopimda, pejabat pemkot, ASN dan PTT, tokoh agama, tokoh masyarakat dan awak media yang menunggu kedatangan jenasah Wawali Subri dalam perjalanan dari Surabaya.
Sekitar pukul 12 siang, mobil ambulans tiba di kantor wali kota dan segera dilakukan sholat jenasah di halaman kantor pemkot, dipimpin Wali Kota Habib Hadi Zainal Abidin.
"Kami atas nama Pemerintah Kota Probolinggo yang mana selama ini menemani saya di pemerintahan, dalam waktu dua tahun ini, kita melakukan untuk kemaslahatan masyarakat. Mudah-mudahan ini (kerjanya), menjadi amal ibadahnya," tutur wali kota menahan isak tangis yang kemudian diikuti kata aamiin para pelayat.
Wali kota menyampaikan rasa dukanya yang sangat mendalam itu. "Saya sangat kehilangan, bukan hanya keluarganya. Karena kami berdua betul-betul saling mengisi satu sama lainnya. Upaya dan ikhtiar sudah kita lakukan dan waktunya memang kita berpisah. Dan mudah-mudahan dalam perjuangan ini bisa kita lakukan, sesuai dengan janji yang kita ambil di awal untuk meneruskan demi kemaslahatan masyarakat Kota Probolinggo," ucapnya.
Menurut orang nomor satu di Kota Probolinggo itu, rasa kehilangan salah satu sahabat terbaiknya karena setiap waktu ia berdiskusi, bertukar pikiran untuk melakukan yang terbaik demi Kota Probolinggo.
Sementara itu, Sekda drg. Ninik Ira Wibawati dengan menahan tangis membacakan profil singkat almarhum Wawali Subri.
Iring-iringan mobil Dishub, kepolisian melaju mengikuti mobil ambulans di depannya hingga tiba di pemakaman keluarga di Kelurahan Kebonsari Kulon.
Sebelum masuk area pemakaman, warga dan keluarga yang sudah menunggu pun diberi kesempatan mensholati jenasah Wawali Subri dalam suasana yang masih hujan.
Dari awal hingga akhir prosesi pemakaman, dengan setianya Wali Kota Habib Hadi mengawal hingga di peristirahatan terakhir sahabatnya itu. Ia tak segan mengingatkan dan mengatur kerumunan pelayat untuk menjaga jarak di area pemakaman.
Tujuh orang berpakaian APD lengkap, mengeluarkan peti jenasah Wawali Subri dari mobil ambulans. Nampak istri dan anak semata wayangnya juga berpakaikan APD lengkap duduk di kursi plastik melihat untuk terakhir kalinya peti itu diturunkan ke liang lahat.
Ya, disanalah tempat peristirahatan Wawali Subri. Rupanya makam keluarga sudah dipersiapkan bersanding dengan kedua orang tuanya, kakak kandung perempuan dan mbah buyut laki perempuan, Wawali Subri tidur tenang untuk selama-lamanya. (dewi)
The red-and-white flag at the city hall was flown at half-mast, drizzle pouring rain and the cloud was cloudy on Wednesday (9/12), as Probolinggo city was mourning the death of Probolinggo Vice Mayor Mochammad Soufis Subri.
Also present at the city hall were several members of the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda), municipal government officials, civil servants, religious leaders, community leaders, and media crews who were waiting for the arrival of Vice Mayor Subri's body on his way from Surabaya.
At 12 afternoons, an ambulance arrived at the city hall; Salat Al-Janazah, an Islamic funeral prayer was carried out at the courtyard of the city hall, led by Mayor Habib Hadi Zainal Abidin.
"We (Habib Hadi-Subri) are representing Probolinggo city administration. Vice Mayor Subri has been accompanying me in governing the city for the last two years, doing it for the benefit of the citizens. Hopefully, this (works) will become his act of worship," said the mayor.
The mayor expressed his deep sorrow. "I really miss him because we both really complement each other. We have made efforts and hard works, but it's time for us to part. And hopefully, we can accomplish what we have been aiming for, following the promise we took for the benefit of the people of Probolinggo City," he said.
Mayor Hadi has lost one of his best friends, the one he had a discussion with, a friend for an exchange of ideas and information, to do the best for Probolinggo city.
The convoy, involving The Transportation Agency and the city police cars were following the ambulance to the family cemetery in Kebonsari Kulon urban village.
Before getting into the funeral, residents and families who had been waiting were given the opportunity to have Salat Al-Janazah for the body of Vice Mayor Subri.
On the funeral procession, Mayor Habib Hadi faithfully escorted his friend's final resting. He did not hesitate to remind and organize the crowd of mourners to keep their distance in the funeral area.
Seven people, dressed in full protective gear, took the body of the vice mayor from the ambulance. It appears that his wife and only daughter were also dressed in full protective gear, sitting on a plastic chair, seeing the body for the last time.
That's where Vice Mayor Subri will rest in peace. It seems that the family grave has been prepared side by side with his parents, older sister, and great grandmother. (alfien_tr)
