Villa Isola yang kini menjadi Gedung Rektorat Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Konon, gedung ini dibangun oleh DW Berretty, Sang Raja Media di Bumi Putra, (Foto: Istimewa).

KORAN SIPATAHOENAN edisi 22 Desember 1934 mewartakan berita duka. Dalam berita headline-nya, koran terbesar di Tatar Sunda pada waktu itu menulis in memorial atas meninggalnya DW Berretty, Sang Raja Media di Bumi Putra yang juga pemilik Villa Isola di Kota Bandung.

DW Berretty tewas bersama seluruh penumpang lainnya dalam suatu kecelakaan pesawat terbang DC 2 Uiver yang ditumpanginya dalam perjalanan reguler Amsterdam – Batavia, tiga hari sebelumnya.

Sosok DW Berretty juga disebutkan dalam media tersebut sebagai selebriti dan socialita yang dermawan. Wartawan koran Sipatahoenan mengungkap profil Tuan Berretty sebagai berikut. “Kawentar koe hiroepna noe sesa seubeuh. Kawentar koe mere mawehna. Kawentar koe …affairena”. Tuan Berretty terkenal karena tak kekurangan pangan. Terkenal karena kedermawanannya. Dan ia terkenal lantaran banyak skandal asmaranya.

Disebutkan juga oleh Koran Sipatahoenan yang terbit 22 Desember 1934 tersebut, dalam kecelakaan pesawat tersebut bahwa “Noe ngamoedina, tiloe penoempang djeung 51.000 soerat2 keur ka Indonesia leboer jadi leboe”. Pilot berikut tiga penumpang dan 51.000 surat surat untuk dengan tujuan orang di Indonesia, hancur menjadi abu. (Asyik, 2018).

Itulah kilas balik, dari perjalanan hidup sang pemilik nama lengkap Dominique Willem Berretty di akhir hidupnya yang tragis. Ia tewas dalam kecelakaan pesawat terbang di Timur Tengah.

Berretty merupakan anak blasteran dari ayah warga Itali dan ibu asal Jawa toelen. Berkat statusnya sebagai anak keturunan boele dan sinyo blasteran, pemuda tampan ini berkesempatan mengenyam pendidikan tinggi dan menjadi karyawan Post Telecom En Telegraaf (PTT) serta bekerja nyambi sebagai reporter Koran Java Bode yang berlokasi di Batavia atau Jakarta sekarang.

Unrequited Love

Dengan berbekal pengalaman sebagai reporter media, pada tahun 1917, Berretty mendirikan kantor berita yang diberi nama Algemeen Niews en Telegraaf Agentshap (ANITA) dengan motto keren Altijd nummer Een Trots Alles. “Menjadi nomor satu. Berapapun biayanya.”

Dari kiprah bisnis media inilah, menjadikan Berrety sebagai bos media tajir melintir dan berpenampilan flamboyan dan playboy, yang dikelilingi banyak wanita cantik. Berawal dari sini, kisah love story-nya dan affair-nya bergulir. Berbagai rendevous moments Sang Raja Koran tersebut sering terendus. Ia menjadi kaya raya dan dikelilingi banyak wanita. Konon, semasa hidupnya, ia tercatat telah menikah sebanyak 6 kali.

Ada cerita menarik dari Mang Ucup (2015). Ia seorang netizen yang berdomisili di Belanda dan masih ada ikatan famili dengan keluarga Barretty. Love story dan love affair mendiang DW Berretty terhadap banyak wanita sering diceritakan keturunannya secara turun temurun.

Begini penuturannya. “Sekitar 1932, Barretty yang flamboyan menjalin asmara dengan salah satu putri dari Gubernur Jenderal Hindia Belanda Cornelis de Jonge di Batavia. Tetapi malang, perjalanan cintanya tak mulus. Cintanya ditolak atau bahasa kerennya unrevitated love. Hubungan asmaranya tak disetujui sang ayah. Perjalanan cinta Berretty dengan putri Sang Gubernur Jenderal kandas di tengah jalan. Berretty tersinggung berat. Ia murka dan merasa dilecehkan. Oleh sebab itu, untuk membuktikan bahwa ia pria terhormat dan layak meminang putri Sang Gubernur Jenderal, ia merencanakan membangun sebuah Istana megah di Bandung.

Kemudian, ia menghubungi seorang arsitek kondang CP Wolff Schoemaker. Ia meminta Schoemaker untuk membangun gedung bak istana nan megah, berapapun harganya. Dalam tempo kurang dari dua tahun, gedung megah tersebut selesai dibangun. Gedung megah dengan fasilitas taman artistik dan kolam luas kemudian dikenal dengan nama Villa Isola.

M’Isolo E Vivo

Seperti dituturkan Mang Ucup, “Jadi sebenarnya Villa Isola itu dibangun atas permintaan khusus Berretty sebagai balas dendam atas cintanya yang ditolak oleh calon mertuanya – Sang Gubernur Jenderal”. Berretty merasa tersinggung berat dan patah hati. Untuk mengenang cinta kasih yang tak berbalas (unrevitated love) itu, ia memasang plakat di ruang masuk pintu utama Villa Isola dengan tulisan menyolok: M’ISOLO E VIVO. Artinya, saya mengucilkan diri, untuk bertahan hidup.

Suatu pernyataan mendalam yang memunculkan misteri. Apakah betul Berretty patah hati ? Kemudian berupaya tampak tegar dengan membangun gedung megah untuk membuktikan bahwa dia sangat mencintai putri Sang Gubernur Jenderal?

Atau dia sedang berobsesi seperti kisah Taj Mahal di India. Kisah-kasih yang melegenda ke seluruh penjuru dunia. Cinta tulus Raja Mughal, Syah Jehan yang memerintah tahun 1628 -1658 terhadap istri tersayangnya. Kisah cinta Sang Raja kepada pramesurinya, Mumtaz Mahal, yang diabadikan dalam arsitektur gedung dan menjadi salah satu keajaiban dunia. Wallahu alam.

Itulah sekilas tulisan M’Isolo E Vivo, yang melekat di atas pintu masuk Villa Isola. Suatu Misteri, dan hanya Berretty yang tahu apa makna yang tersirat dari ungkapan M’Isolo E Vivo tersebut.

Bumi Siliwangi

Putaran jarum jam terus bergulir. Waktu terus bergerak. Pada periode pendudukan Jepang (1942 -1945), gedung Villa Isola beralih fungsi sebagai kediaman sementara Jenderal Hitoshi Imamura.

Pada fase perjuangan nasional mempertahankan kemerdekaan, kawasan Bandung Utara dan juga area Villa Isola, menjadi saksi betapa para pahlawan bangsa berjuang untuk mempertahankan agresi kolonial Belanda. Pertempuran sengit terjadi antara agresor Belanda dan para pejuang Bangsa. Puluhan pejuang menjadi syuhada.

Pada 20 Oktober 1954, Mr. Mohammad Yamin sebagai Menteri Pendidikan, Pengajaran, dan Kebudayaan (PP&K) berkenan meresmikan Perguruan Tinggi Pendidikan Guru (PTPG) di Bandung. Pada kesempatan tersebut Villa Isola berganti nama menjadi Bumi Siliwangi.

Seperti ditegaskan Mohammad Yamin (1954), “nama Bumi Siliwangi menyiratkan cahaya kerohanian dan rasa kepahlawanan. Nama Bumi Siliwangi membawa jiwa pendidik ke alam Pasundan dan memperingatkan kita pada bakti dan jasa para pemuda pejuang pada zaman revolusi kemerdekaan”.

Kini, Bumi Siliwangi menjadi ikon perjuangan. Penyemangat Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) untuk tetap terdepan sebagai kampus perjuangan untuk melawan kebodohan dan keterbelakangan. The leading university in Education.

Itulah perjalanan panjang dari Villa Isola ke Bumi Siliwangi. ***

  120. Not all games contribute equally to meeting the wagering requirements. Slots usually contribute 100%, but table games and live dealer games often contribute a lower percentage. The casino will list the contributing percentages in the bonus terms and conditions, and it’s vital to play the games that contribute the most to meet the requirements faster. Many websites offer the best casino slot games in demo mode, where you can play for free and try slots without spending your own money. This is a great way to test different slots and understand the game theme, design, sounds and features before playing it for real money.  You’ll find a welcome bonus casino is very popular with new US players. Also called a casino sign up bonus, welcome bonuses are rewarded just for signing up and will have different strings attached to them from having to wager your casino bonus deposit a certain amount of times to specific eligible titles.

  123. Grealish leaves his boyhood club Villa having made 213 appearances and scored 32 goals since making his senior debut in 2014. City made an opening offer for Kane which would guarantee Tottenham at least £100m, and it is understood Pep Guardiola would like to sign him and Grealish. City are believed to be open to a players-plus-money deal for Kane but Spurs have no intention of accepting their offer for the 27-year-old, who has told the club he wants to leave. As Aston Villa CEO Christian Purslow said in his message to fans, you can’t replace Jack Grealish with a single player, but what you can do is build a well balanced team with a bunch of great players, which is what Villa have done.  Ahead of the clash, Guardiola backed Grealish to become a hit at the Etihad Stadium and believes he is getting to grips with the demands placed upon him after a £100million summer move from Villa.

    The Sun reports (h t The Mirror) that Everton will listen to offers for its top stars after their takeover agreement expired on Friday. This means that if either Bayern Munich or PSG want Onana, they can begin making an approach. “His career is actually on the decline. The form has dipped. He hasn’t played enough games. He is nowhere near the England squad, so something has to give. You hope he gets a wee break somewhere. Whether it’s Everton and Sean Dyche, I am not so sure. It wouldn’t be the worst move for him.” Romano believes Sancho’s situation will be one to watch since a return to Old Trafford is quite unlikely.

  132. Chad’s election today appears to offer a choice, but analysts say it’s been designed to rubber-stamp the rule of the incumbent. After starting out at the Birmingham Post newspaper, Roger was a BBC correspondent in South Asia, Southern Europe and East Africa for about 10 years before returning to the UK, reporting and anchoring mainly for the BBC World Service and BBC World TV. There is no “instant solution” to the claim over the islands, President Javier Milei tells the BBC. However, last year the corporation announced it would become the “home” of archived content and that it would broadcast fewer original programmes. The BBC did not say whether BBC Four, as well as CBBC and Radio 4 Extra, would eventually move online to the iPlayer service. CONNECT WITH US This means that CBBC will only be available to watch on BBC iPlayer, meanwhile Radio 4 Extra will move to BBC Sounds.

  135. A small battery-electric city car is going to be “a big challenge”, according to Emilio Herrera, Kia Europe’s COO to AutoNews. “But sooner or later, we will have to do it.” The prominence of the right name at the centre of the logo is meant to convey the company’s sense of duty and trustworthiness as well as its sense of accomplishment as a major player in the international auto industry. KPI established the business in 1951. Kia Industries was founded in 1952 to produce the first Korean-made bicycle. The Kia Motor Company is now a subsidiary of Hyundai after a long and winding road of negotiations. Kia signed an MoU with the state government of Andhra Pradesh in 2017 to establish a manufacturing facility in Anantapur. The KIA Picanto ranges in price from $15,990* for the S, and $20,490* for the GT*Pricing excludes stamp duty, other government charges and options. Prices subject to change.

    The 2020 Ford Puma has a five-star ANCAP safety rating, based on Euro NCAP data scored in December 2019. Could the Puma pick up where the Fiesta left off? It’s not inconceivable, at least on paper. It stretches 164.8 inches long, 71.1 inches wide, and 60.5 inches tall, dimensions that make it about seven inches shorter than the Toyota C-HR and around seven inches longer than the EcoSport. It’s wider and lower than the C-HR. In Europe, one of its most direct rivals is the second-generation Nissan Juke, which is not available in the United States. Farley is the big boss, but it takes more than a tweet to bring a car here. Even assuming the Puma can pass an American crash test, it’s likely too small to succeed in a market dominated by much bigger models.
