《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.

Fantasy World
Spencer Underwood has little realistic hope of escaping his paraplegic, bullied, and friendless high school existence. At least until he and three classmates are unrealistically transported to Nibiru, a legendary fantasy world ruled by mythological gods and inhabited by strange races and nightmarish monsters. Spence can walk again, which is good considering he will have to use his online fantasy role-playing game experience to lead the dysfunctional party on the gods’ quest and summon the courage to finally stand up to Trey, his worst bully from school. Success means survival and earning respect and acceptance, especially from Morgan, his attractive but snarky Goth classmate. But Spence discovers Nibiru is more a world of science fiction than fantasy, and they are just unwitting pawns in a deadly scheme of the gods. If completing the quest doesn’t result in their return to Earth, the party may have to do the unthinkable and challenge the gods themselves. (The novel is complete at 56 chapters, so feel free to jump in without fear of it fizzling out in a premature demise.)

Killing Roar: Part 2: Mortal Mewling
Part 2 - Mortal Mewling: Perry's been living his dream in the guard, fighting spike feeders, proving himself to be a valuable member of the community, but his many concerns linger, weighing him down with more questions and regrets. The strange event within the dungeon. The rise of the prey-movement. The critical mass of spike feeders looming around the corner. Things have been going wrong for Titan City, and it feels like they're only going to get worse. Can he help save what he's worked for or will it all fall to ruin? Part 1 - Killing Roar: When Perry was blessed with a platypus beast soul, he thought his chances of joining the village guard were over. No one had every heard of a platypus. It seemed like an obvious prey soul, given it wasn't in the village's records. Only the strongest could be part of the village guard. He thought that would never get the chance to defend the village from the spike feeders, the deadly creatures jutting out with hazardous spikes haphazardly all over. Only predator beast souls were given the requisite training and allowed to join the village guard. Perry just didn't meet their criteria. He was also wrong.Soon Perry will live out his wildest dreams and more, as he scales the rankings of beast soul mastery, fights innumerable dangerous spike feeders and solves mysteries related to the origin of beast souls and spike feeders. And maybe, just maybe, he'll even get to join the city guard. Genre-wise, Mortal Mewling is a GameLit story (light on the GameLit) focused on action and adventure. The Gore tag is there more as a precaution, rather than a promise to keep producing gory words. Mortal Mewling is a bit of a slow burn in terms of start, scale and capacity of the protagonist. Book 2... has now begun! Updates Monday and Thursday
