《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.

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

Flap never wanted to be anything more than a pond duck. He was perfectly happy with his life of mating, migrating, and eating fish. But all that changed when a spacefaring race of war-crazed giant chickens confused him for Earth's greatest gladiator, all on account of a sketchy lease deal from a few million years prior. Now Flap is Earth's Champion, unwittingly wrapped up in a high stakes conflict almost as old as time itself.
