《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 23: Air Mata Yang Menetes
Advertisement
Hari ini ini aku berangkat lebih awal seperti biasanya. Sesampainya dikelas, suasana terasa sepi. Hanya aku yang ada disini sendirian, seperti pertama kali aku bersekolah disini. Dan akan selalu seperti itu. Aku sudah tak berharap lagi untuk berbicara padanya. Lagian, aku sudah terbiasa sejak dulu tanpa berbicara pada siapapun. Aku mencoba untuk tidur menunggu bel masukkan berbunyi.
Aku melihat Nia dan Hendra dari belakang sedang berpegangan tangan dan berjalan bersama disuatu ladang bunga yang luas. Tiba-tiba aku merasa sedih dan dadaku terasa sesak. Kemudian tak lama aku menangis, dan mencoba untuk menggapai Nia dengan tangan kananku. Namun, dia terus menjauh dariku dan aku tak bisa menggapainya. Aku terus mencoba berlari, namun dia semakin menjauh dariku hingga dia menghilang dari pandanganku. Disaat itu, rasa sakit didadaku semakin menyesakkan, air mataku tak berhenti menangis akan hal itu. Tiba-tiba ada sesorang yang menepuk pundakku. Kuberbalik dan melihat sosok perempuan tersebut tersenyum padaku. Seketika itu aku terbangun dan tak terasa air mataku menetes keluar dari kedua mataku. Dan aku masih merasakan sesak didada lalu ku genggam dengan erat dengan tangan kananku. Aku hanya terdiam saja sembari menangis. Mereka terlihat heran dengan keadaanku tersebut. Bu Ningsih yang baru saja masuk kelas dan melihatku seperti itu, berlari kearahku dan menanyakan keadaanku.
"Kamu kenapa Di?"
Aku tak menjawab pertanyaan dari bu Ningsih. Lalu bu Ningsih kembali menanyakan keadaanku.
"Kenapa kamu menangis."
Lalu aku melihat kearah bu Ningsih dan bertanya dengan nadaku yang datar, namun terlihat sedih.
"Aku menangis bu?"
Dia hanya mengangguk. Lalu kuraba kedua bawah mataku dan merasakan air mata mengalir. Aku mencoba untuk mengendalikan situasiku saat ini. Kuhapus air mataku tersebut dengan kedua tanganku. Lalu aku mengatakan sesuatu pada guruku dengan nadaku yang datar sembari menghapus air mataku.
"Bu, saya izin ke toilet."
Bu Ningsih mengiyakannya. Lalu aku berjalan dan pergi ke toilet tanpa melihat mereka semua. Sesampainya di toilet aku membasuh mukaku di wastafel. Aku melihat diriku yang menangis di cermin. Siapa aku? Kenapa aku bermimpi seperti itu? Kenapa dadaku ini terasa sesak? Kenapa aku menangis? Ada apa denganku?

Pertanyaan itu selalu dan selalu saja mengangguku. Aku masih berdiri dan terus menatap wajahku di cermin. Aku mulai mencoba untuk berpikir jernih dengan menghirup dan membuang nafas berkali-kali. Hingga akupun mulai mendapatkan ketenangan. Lalu aku kembali kekelas. Dan bu Ningsih menanyakan keadaanku yang saat ini lebih baik.
"Kamu kenapa Di? Apakah kamu sakit?"
Aku hanya menjawabnya dengan nada datarku.
"Tidak apa-apa bu, saya hanya mimpi buruk saja tadi."
Bu Ningsih merasa lega. Dan memberikan nasihat kepadaku.
"Kamu jangan terlalu sering tidur. Apalagi dikelas. Ibu sangat khawatir padamu."
Aku hanya mengangguk dan kembali lagi ke tempat dudukku. Aku tak ingin melihat wajah Nia. Setelah aku duduk, pelajaranpun dimulai kembali. Aku mengambil buku Bahasa Inggrisku di tas, dan sedikit melirik kearah Nia. Disaat yang sama, dia melihatku dengan tatapan matanya yang sedih.
Aku terkaget disaat mataku dan matanya saling menatap, begitupun dengan Nia. Lalu kami berdua memalingkan wajah kami. Situasi aneh ini kembali muncul. Ada apa denganku? Apakah ini yang dinamakan suka? Aku mencoba untuk memperhatikan pelajaran bu Ningsih meskipun aku tak mengetahui materinya tersebut.
Hingga jam pelajaran selesai dan bel istirahatpun berbunyi. Mereka seperti biasa bergegas keluar hingga hanya tersisa antara aku, Hendra dan Nia. Aku kembali meletakkan kepalaku diatas meja dan menahannya dengan kedua tangaknku dan mencoba tertidur sesaat. Hendra lalu mengatakan sesuatu pada Nia dengan nadanya yang sopan.
"Nia, mau makan bareng?"
Nia menolak tawarannya. Dan mengatakannya dengan nada pelannya yang biasa dia gunakan untuk melakukan komunikasi pada guru. Aku baru menyadari bahwa dia sering menggunakan nadanya tersebut hanya ketika bersama Hendra.
"Maaf Ndra, kamu duluan aja."
Lalu Hendra sedikit melihat kearahku. Lalu dia meninggalkan Nia dan aku sembari melambaikan tangannya ke arah Nia, dan Nia membalasnya. Setelah Hendra pergi, hanya tersisa aku dan Nia dikelas. Dia masih belum berkata apapun kepadaku. Hingga pada akhirnya diapun keluar kelas dan tak masih mengatakan apapun padaku. Hatiku merasa sedih kembali. Aku mengambil bekalku dan air minumku. Lalu aku berjalan perlahan ke tempat favoritku sambil tertunduk.

Re: Pokemon Red
A young man is walking on his usual route from school back home while playing Pokemon Go when the driver of a truck loses control and run into the young man ending his life. But the young man awakens and finds he has been reincarnated, and as his favorite games protagonist Red. With the help of his vast knowledge of pokemon and a reincarnation system will he become a pokemon master or will he aim higher? The story will follow close to the games stories (as best as i remember some of them) however there will be some slight to severe alterations as the pokemon world lacks a bit of common sence that would apply to anyworld. As the story goes on regions will change and new pokemon exclusive to those regions will appear like the game. ------------- Hey everyone this is my first novel and a random idea that came to me while i was reading a reincarnation novel here on RR and i was playing a pokemon game on the side and it kinda came to me. l will have polls occasionally to see how people want things to go down or what possible direction to go. Now a couple warnings the first being grammer. I'm not the best at gramer so if bad grammer triggers you in some way its best to just not bother. Second warning and most important is that this is a more mature take on pokemon. Seriously if you grew up with pokemon like me you probably would like some mature pokemon story. So there will be profanity here in there. Not going to see people cursing up a storm except maybe one of the teams. Especialy team skull they got the whole sterotype going. Gore.... honostly not sure if im going to have detailed pokemon death or just have the normal fainting and any death will be in the background or be hinted at. There will be sexual content but im going to have those in side chapters so people who don't care for them can just skip them.
