《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 24: Bertanya Kembali Pada Si Kucing
Advertisement
Aku tiba di tempat favoritku. Aku melihat Felica si kucing hitam sudah menungguku didekat bangku yang biasa kugunakan untuk duduk. Lalu kubuka bekalku dan memberikan beberapa makanan kepadanya dan menaruhnya didekat pintu. Lalu aku bertanya mengenai kejadian yang kualami tadi.
"Felica, menurutmu apakah laki-laki menangis itu wajar? Karena baru kali ini aku merasakannya semenjak kejadian itu."
Lalu terdengar suara itu lagi dan menjawab pertanyaanku tersebut.
"Menurutku hal itu wajar. Memangnya apa yang terjadi?"
Aku lalu mengatakannya panjang lebar mengenai mimpiku serta rasa sedih yang kurasakan itu. Lalu suara tersebut berhenti sejenak. Lalu dia mengatakan sesuatu dengan nada bertanya.
"Apakah kamu menyukainya?"
Aku menjawabnya dengan sedikit keraguan dihatiku.
"Aku juga tak tau apakah aku menyukainya."
Lalu suara tersebut merasa agak kesal.
"Dasar, lupakan!"
Sepertinya aku pernah mendengar kata-kata itu, tapi dimana, kapan dan siapa? Suara tersebut melanjutkan pembicaraannya itu.
"Menurutku kamu harus mencari sendiri jawabannya. Kamu tak akan mendapatkannya hanya dengan mendengarkan perkataanku ini."
Aku berfikir sejenak tentang perkataanya tersebut. Dan aku mencoba untuk memahami situasiku saat ini. Dan aku mulai berfikir secara logika. Lalu aku berkata pada Felica mengenai pemikiranku ini.
"Mungkin saja aku ada rasa sedikit cemburu antara Nia dan Hendra. Tapi sepertinya, perasaan itu memang perasaan manusia pada umumnya. Dan menurutku, hal itu wajar meskipun kenyataannya aku tak menyukai Nia."
Suara tersebut hanya diam tak menjawab apa yang ku katakan. Lalu dia mengatakan sesuatu dengan nadanya yang sedikit kesal.
"Kamu tau manusia? Mereka yang menyukai kesendiriannya itu, lebih memilih untuk membohongi dirinya sendiri meskipun itu menyakitkan."
Lagi-lagi aku disadarkan oleh sesuatu tentang diriku. Namun aku masih saja membantahnya. Aku hanya terdiam akan perkataanya itu. Apa salahnya bila aku menyukai kesendirianku? Apakah itu salah? Setidaknya hal itu tak merugikan untuk orang lain kan? Ku elus kepalanya dengan perasaanku yang sekarang sudah lebih baik dan melanjutkan makanku.
Setelah selesai makan, kubereskan bekalku dan air minumku. Dan tak lupa untuk menyapa Felica sebelum aku kembali kekelas.
"Kalau begitu aku duluan dulu ya Felica. Terima kasih."
Lagi-lagi suara tersebut tidak menjawabnya.

A Demon Lord's Reincarnation
Selina’s got a pretty active imagination. When doing math, she pretends that she is a great detective solving a heinous crime! Ordinary tasks, like a trip upstairs, turn into a perilous adventure to raid a dragon’s cave! She believes that life should be full of wonder and magic, and tries to force the world to cope with her conviction! But when Selina wakes up to remember her past life as the Demon Lord, she has to face the fact that real life is messy, and not anything like what she imagined. With ancient powers stirring, family problems, and the hectic life of a teenager, Selina will have to discover more about herself if she is going to survive the trials ahead. With the help of her best friend and a fair share of luck, she might just get through this alive. Maybe. (Updates (hopefully) on Sundays) This story started out as a flipped isekai. Instead of a hero being pulled into a medieval world, a Demon Lord is pulled into the modern world. It has since moved a bit beyond that initial premise but it is the foundation of the work. Along the way, I threw in dragons, elves, dwarves, and some vampires (but no werewolves, gotta nip that in the bud) all wrapped up in the political drama of a modern world. The story, however, will mainly focus on the characters and their development and as such, is a bit of a slow burn. It may take a couple of chapters to get into. You have been warned! (PS, please show patience for the author's notes. They're a bit crazy and don't always make the most sense. The author's a bit of a ditz. Please ignore him.)

The Tales of YAP: The Superhero Series
“Listen well, and listen kindly, for my story is a story of contradictions; of the dead becoming alive and the weak becoming strong. Likewise, those nominated as the strong are reduced into the weakest of foes. And lovers, those sweet companions, are nothing but crazed psychopaths. This is the type of story I will tell. The story only I can speak of for it is solely mine. And now, as I recount it to you, thence forth it shall belong to all that hear of it. Listen well, then, for I shall begin.”Sooo, that’s it. The world isn’t what it is. The dead are alive. The weak become strong. And bla bla bla. The normal days of a superhero-in-training, I suppose. I hope you have a bit of patience because my story is a long one, and it starts out in the same old, boring world.My name is Yassi Anne P. Sorento, and this is my story before I became the superhero I am today. (First posted on Webnovel with the same title and under the name, Hua_Li_An.)
