《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.

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.

A Requiem For The End
Yuga wakes up on a cold, frigid land entirely covered in snow. Where was he? Who was he? Neither of these could he remember but he didn't have time to think of it, he could tell danger wasn't far. A quick death if he failed to avoid it. It was fast approaching and much as he tried to escape, it quickly caught up with him. Luckily he had survived, but was he just lucky or was there something more to him.....? A Requiem For The End is a fantasy story set in a world.......well, quite different from most stories you might have seen (I honestly don't know how to better describe it). Early into the story (prologue) the world feels elusive because you slowly learn about it through the eyes of Yuga. As you read on questions may arise in your mind and mysteries will present themselves. The answers to them will come the further you read. I'd like to think the plot is a bit larger than the average and same goes for the world building. If you find this story intriguing then all I can say is - There's a lot for me to tell, hop on?
