《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 56: Adegan Yang Tidak Ada Dalam Dialog
Advertisement
Hingga kamipun berada di panggung untuk menampilkan drama pada para penonton. Disini kami telah berada pada dialog dimana aku akan membuat seribu candi. Kemudian aku bertapa untuk memanggil jinku.
"Wahai kawan-kawanku. Datanglah, datanglah, datanglah."
Kemudian munculah Hendra dan Ian yang berperan sebagai jin yang datang lewat samping panggung. Kemudian aku mengatakan sesuatu pada mereka berdua dengan nadaku yang datar.
"Jin-jinku sekalian, aku punya tugas penting untuk kalian."
Kemudian Hendra bertanya padaku.
"Tugas seperti apakah itu wahai Tuanku?"
Aku menjawabnya sambil menunjuk kearah tanah lapang.
"Aku perintahkan kalian untuk membuatkanku seribu candi untukku disana. Apakah kalian mengerti?"
Mereka berdua mengangguk setuju. Merekapun memulai tugas mereka. Hingga tak terasa seribu candi hampir selesai dibuat, sedangkan matahari masih belum menampakkan dirinya. Nia yang khawatir jikalau aku telah menyelesaikan seribu candi tersebut menemui Hani dan Lisa untuk menggagalkannya.
"Gimana ini, Raden Bondowoso sudah hampir menyelesaikan seribu candinya."
Kemudian Lisa memberikan saran pada Nia.
"Bagaimana kalau kita menumbuk padi. Dengan begitu seakan-akan pagi telah terbit."
Nia menyetujuinya dan menyuruh Hani dan Lisa untuk menumbuk padi dan Niapun juga ikut membantu mereka. Suara lumbung padi terdengar keras, hingga terdengar sampai ditelinga Hendra dan ian. Sementara itu, Hendra dan Ian yang mendengar hal itu langsung pergi meninggalkanku dengan 999 candi yang telah dibuat. Aku yang merasa ada yang aneh mencoba untuk mencari asal suara tersebut. Hingga aku melihat Nia, Hani, dan Lisa sedang menumbuk padi. Aku yang melihat kecurangan mereka langsung menegur Nia dan berkata dengan nadaku yang datar namun terdengar marah.
"Apa yang kau lakukan!"
Nia hanya diam saja dan terlihat bingung. Seharusnya dia membaca dialognya tersebut. Kurasa dia melupakan dialognya. Karena dia tak berkata apa-apa dan terlihat kebingungan. Aku mengatakan padanya diluar dialogku yang seharusnya.
"Aku tau kau tak menyukaiku. Dan kamu terpaksa untuk melakukan ini semua agar aku tak bisa memilikimu. Itu benar?"

Dia masih saja diam. Aku kembali bertanya padanya dengan nadaku tersebut.
"Kenapa kamu tak menjawabnya? Itu benar?"
Kulihat dia menangis. Dan tiba-tiba dia memelukku. Aku sangat kaget dengan perlakuannya tersebut dan mengatakan sesuatu padaku dengan nadanya yang sedih.
"Aku sangat menyukaimu. Aku sungguh-sungguh sangat menyukaimu. Aku mohon kamu untuk menjadi suamiku."
Kami semua kaget termasuk para penonton. Karena pada cerita aslinya, dia seharusnya menolakku dan ku kutuk dia menjadi candi yang keseribu. Namun, dia masih saja memelukku sambil berkata padaku dengan nadanya tersebut.
"Kumohon jangan tinggalkan aku."
Semuanya kacau. Hingga Andrepun mengambil inisiatif dengan berkata dengan nadanya yang keras.
"Akhirnya, mereka berdua menikah. Dan melaksanakan proses pernikahan ditempat dimana Raden Bondowoso membuat candi yang keseribunya ditengah-tengah candi lainnya. Dan mereka hidup bahagia selamanya."
Lampu panggungpun mati. Dan posisi Nia masih memelukku sambil menangis sementara itu aku hanya terdiam tanpa membalasnya. Para penonton terdiam untuk sesaat. Lalu beberapa tepuk tangan terdengar, hingga suara tepukkan tangan semua para penonton terdengar. Nia mendengar suara tepuk tangan penonton, diapun melihat kearah para penonton. Dan betapa malunya dia dilihat oleh para penonton dengan posisi memelukku. Lalu dia melepasnya dan kemudian menarikku keluar dari panggung tersebut. lalu dilanjutkan oleh Hani, Lisa, Hendra, Ian dan Andre untuk pergi dari panggung tersebut.
Kemudian kami semua bertanya pada Nia apa yang terjadi. Dia hanya terdiam sesaat lalu menjawabnya.
"Maafkan aku. Tadi aku lupa apa yang kulakukan disini. Yang kutahu tadi Abdi memarahiku dan mengatakan bahwa aku tak menyukainya. Disaat itu aku merasa sedih dan mengatakan apa yang aku rasakan padanya."
Lalu Lisa berkata sesuatu pada kami semua dengan nadanya yang senang dan tersenyum.
"Tapi tadi para semua penonton bertepuk tangan loh. Jadi menurutku hal ini malah membuat mereka terkesan dengan pertunjukkan kita."
Andre menimpali perkataan Lisa tersebut.
"Iya kau benar. Untung saja aku juga membuat dialogku sendiri. Jadi ceritanya semakin nyata."
Kami semua hanya menjawabnya dengan nada kami yang datar.
"Iyaaa."
Andre yang mendapatkan jawaban yang seperti itulangsung lemas dan pesimis. Kami semua tertawa padanya. Dan diapun ikut tertawabersama. Hingga semua acara penutupan selesai dan kami pulang bersama.

The Perks of Immortality
This story will no longer be updated. After living decades and dying hundreds of times, Kegan has learned that he has finally passed some test that the cruel spirit had given him. Now, Kegan has the ability to gain “perks” that can make his life much easier. He is looking forward to finally having an easy life with the new perks he has earned. Rules to keep me honest for the perk system: Spoiler: Spoiler 1. The purpose of perks is to help the MC live longer and do new things each life. 2. The perks can be unlocked by getting hurt or killed. 3. The perks can be unlocked by putting in a lot of effort that isn’t easily duplicated in a new life. 4. Perks are generally beneficial enhancements to the MC’s body. 5. Perk costs can be lowered with more impressive achievements to unlock them. 6. Perk costs can be lowered by repeated death or injury from something the perk protects against. 7. Perk costs are increased for quality of life improvements that don’t benefit survival. I want to avoid one of the pitfalls I see for other LitRPG stories where the game elements barely relate to the story, or offer very little information. If people are skipping over and not reading the perks then I'm doing things wrong. So I promise to try and make the perks interesting, sometimes humorous, informative, and relevant to the story.Cover art by http://dertypaws.com/

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
