《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 37: Lari Pagi
Advertisement
Hari ini adalah hari sabtu. Karena sebentar lagi lomba akan diadakan, aku melakukan sebuah aktivitas baru. Biasanya di hari sabtu dan minggu aku hanya mengurung diri dikamar seharian, namun kali ini sedikit berbeda. Dan tentu saja lari pagi. Aku sudah memperhitungkan sebelumnya kapan aku harus memulainya dan kapan aku kembali kerumah. Sehingga kegiatan lainku tak akan tertinggal seperti halnya menonton tv dan bermain game tentunya. Sekarang, aku bersiap-siap untuk berangkat.
"Sepatu lari, cek. Celana training panjang, cek. Kaos olahraga lengan panjang, cek. Dan jangan lupa untuk membawa tas botol air minum, cek."
Semua barang itu kupinjam dari pamanku, karena dulu pamanku suka sekali lari pagi. Lalu aku berpamitan pada paman dan bibiku yang lagi asyik menonton tv.
"Aku duluan dulu ya paman, bibi."
Bibi bertanya kepadaku.
"Kamu gak makan dulu"
"Gak usah bi, nanti perutku sakit kalau langsung kubuat lari."
Dengan nadanya yang sedikit khawatir mengatakan sesuatu padaku.
"Kalau begitu kamu hati-hati ya dijalan."
Aku hanya mengangguk. Lalu pamanku menannyakan hal yang aneh padaku.
"Kalau kamu liat ada cewek cantik, kenalin ke paman ya."
Bibiku yang mendengar akan hal itu kembali menjewer telinga paman dan berkata padanya dengan nadanya yang marah.
"Bagus ya, sudah tua masih saja mata keranjang."
Dia meringis kesakitan dan memohon ampun.
"Ampun ma, aku hanya bercanda. Tolong lepaskan, sakit."
Bibiku kembali berkata kepadaku.
"Kamu jangan dengarkan perkataan pamanmu ini ya."
Aku hanya menggangguknya dan izin untuk berangkat. Bibiku masih menjewer telinga paman meskipun aku sudah berangkat.
"Sudah dong ma, lepaskan."
"Enggak."
Sementara itu, aku mencoba untuk berlari pelan untuk pemanasan. Aku menyusuri area perumahan disini. Karena kurasa area disini tidak begitu jauh dan waktuku untuk pulang masih lama, maka akupun keluar perumahan dan lari pagi di pinggir jalanan menuju kearah sekolah.
Di tengah perjalanan, aku melihat Nia, Hani, dan Lisa sedang lari pagi. Aku tak ingin bertemu mereka dan akan pergi ke arah lain secara diam-diam. Lagi-lagi semuanya tak sesuai dengan perkiraanku. Mereka bertiga melihatku. Kami hanya berjarak antara sisi kanan dan kiri jalan. Selain itu juga kami berlari berlawanan arah, dimana arah kami saling berhadapan sehingga mereka bertiga dapat dengan mudah melihatku. Akupun mencoba untuk berbalik arah dan akan pergi meninggalkan mereka. Hani yang melihatku seperti itu, mencoba untuk memanggil namaku dengan keras.

"Abdiiii."
Aku kembali berbalik kearah mereka. Lalu hani menyuruhku untuk bergabung.
"Sini Di, kita sama-sama lari paginya."
Aku yang masih teringat akan kejadian dikantinsebelumnya berhenti sejenak. Akhirnya akupun mengikuti perkataan Hani dan pergikearah mereka. Lalu kami berempatpun lari pagi bersama. Aku yang merasalaki-laki sendirian berlari dibelakang mereka dan menjaga jarak.

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

The Polyglot's Rune
Fear. Regret. Memories. They all flashed before my eyes as my life began to fade away. I felt a darkness encroach upon my heart followed by a sinister foreboding. Within that moment I was asked a single question by a powerful, mystical being. “Brave being, do you wish to accomplish a great deed in your life?” “No,” I refused, but the voice did not listen. It summoned me to its world only to try to have me slaughtered. But then, I was saved by him, the princess who disguised herself as a man. He was hellbent on revenge, and he was determined to drag me down with him. This story is meant to be a bit of a mix of genres and cultures, so there are some elements that may seem xianxia like, but it's not exactly the same so I didn't tag it. It also has multiple lead characters but is written in first person. Schedule: Dropped Normal Chapter Length: approximately 3000 words Warning: Tagged [15+] for Strong Language and Violence (Gore and Profanity aren't very prevalent, but I added the warning tags just in case).
