《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 16: Perbincangan Yang Menganggu
Advertisement
Keesokan harinya, aku berangkat lebih awal seperti biasanya. Karena aku selalu diantarkan oleh pamanku sebelum dia bekerja bersama bibi. Kira-kira waktuku tiba di sekolah jam setengah 7 pagi. Sesampainya dikelas, ruangan terasa sepi. Bahkan, siswa dan siswi yang hari ini piket belum juga datang. Sembari menunggu waktu masukkan, seperti biasa aku tidur sejenak diatas mejaku.
Tak beberapa lama aku mendengar langkah kaki memasuki kelas ini. Aku tak memperdulikan hal tersebut dan melanjutkan tidurku kembali. Setelah kudengarkan langkah kaki tersebut berhenti sebentar, langkah kaki itu kembali berjalan dan semakin mendekatiku. Tak lama kemudian, seseorang menepuk pundakku dan memanggil namaku.
"Abdi. Oiii Abdi."
Aku tak menanggapinya dan berusaha untuk tidur. Namun suara itu terus saja mengangguku.
"Abdiii. Bangun!"
Aku yang merasa terganggu akan suaranya tersebut membangunkan diri dari tidurku. Lalu kulihat wajahnya dengan mataku yang setengah terbuka sambil bertanya dengan nada datarku.
"Ya kenapa?"
Aku tidak ingat namanya sehingga aku tak menyebutkan namanya.
"Aku mau ngomong sama kamu mengenai Nia."
Aku yang mendengar hal itu merasa bingung, kenapa dia menanyakan tentang Nia padaku. Aku hanya sembarang menjawabnya dengan nadaku yang datar tersebut.
"Kenapa memangnya?"
Namun dia menanyakan hal yang lain kepadaku terlebih dahulu.
"Tungu sebentar, (Memegang pundakku) sebelum itu kamu ingat namaku nggak?"
Aku yang tidak begitu ingat namanya hanya menjawab dengan nama yang kuingat-ingat sebelumnya.
"Andre?"
Dia seperti sudah menduga bahwa aku lupa namanya, kemudian dia memperkelankan namanya tersebut.
"Perkenalkan, Namaku Hendra Pamungkas. Kamu bisa memanggilku Hendra"
Seketika itu aku mengingat namanya, ketua sekertaris dikelas ini. Sembari aku mengingat-ingat tentangnya, dia melanjutkan pembicaraannya tersebut.
"Sedangkan Andre yang kamu sebut sebelumnya merupakan pengurus keamanan dan ketertiban dikelas."
Mataku masih dalam keadan setengah terbuka kembali pada posisiku tidur diatas meja.
"Iya, dan kamu sendiri adalah ketua sekertaris kan? Lagian juga, namamu dan Andre sangatlah tidak jauh berbeda."

Dia menimpali jawabanku dengan nadanya yang sopan itu.
"Iya kau memang benar. Tapi tetap saja kau salah."
Aku merasa bahwa pembicaraan ini tak ada habisnya. Ku langsung menanyakan padanya dengan posisi kepalaku yang sama tanpa memperlihatkan wajahku kepadanya.
"Sekarang apa yang mau kamu tanyakan padaku?"
Dia yang mendengar hal itu sedikit ragu untuk mengatakannya. Tak lama dia mulai membuka pembicaraanya itu.
"Apa hubunganmu dengan Nia?"
Aku hanya menjawab berdasarkan pemikiranku pribadi dengan nadaku yang datar tersebut.
"Oh kukira apa. Kamu lihat sendiri aku dan dia hanyalah sebatas ketua dan wakil saja."
Dia merasa jawabanku tidak memuaskan baginya. Ia kembali bertanya mengenai hal yang serupa sebelumnya dengan nadanya yang sedikit cemburu dan tatapan matanya yang sinis.
"Apa kau yakin? (Memegang dagunya) Sedangkan apa yang kulihat itu berbeda. Kamu seperti dekat dengannya."
Aku yang mendengar hal itu kembali menanyakan hal yang sama tentang Nia kepadanya.
"Apakah kamu menyukainya?"
Dia cukup kaget akan pertanyaanku itu. Namun dia menjawabnya dengan cukup yakin.
"Iya. Memangnya kenapa?"
Aku sudah menduga akan hal itu. Memang jika dilihat, Nia memiliki paras yang cantik menurut mereka. Jadi, bukan hanya Hendra saja yang menyukainya, bahkan yang lain juga. Sedangkan aku sendiri tak memperdulikan akan kecantikannya tersebut. Aku kembali bertanya padanya dengan nadaku yang datar.
"Ada lagi yang ditanyakan?"
Dia masih belum puas akan jawabanku sebelumnya mengenai Nia. Dia mencoba untuk memojokkanku untuk mengatakan hal yang sebenarnya menurut pemikirannya itu.
"Aku tidak yakin kalau kamu tak ada hubungannya dengan Nia."
Aku langusng mengangkat kepalaku dari atas meja dan menjawab pernyataanya itu dengan nadaku yang datar, sambil menatap matanya dengan serius kali ini.
"Harus berapa kali kukatakan, aku tak ada hubungan dengannya."
Dia tak menjawab pernyataanku ini. Karena diarasa dia tak menanggapi pernyataanku tersebut, aku kembali lagi pada posisiku semula.
"Kalau tak ada lagi yang dibicarakan, aku mau melanjutkan tidurku."
Dia tak menjawabnya. Lalu aku mendengar langkahkakinya mulai menjauhiku. Aku lanjutkan tidurku hingga bel masukkan berbunyi.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
