《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 23: Air Mata Yang Menetes
Advertisement
Hari ini ini aku berangkat lebih awal seperti biasanya. Sesampainya dikelas, suasana terasa sepi. Hanya aku yang ada disini sendirian, seperti pertama kali aku bersekolah disini. Dan akan selalu seperti itu. Aku sudah tak berharap lagi untuk berbicara padanya. Lagian, aku sudah terbiasa sejak dulu tanpa berbicara pada siapapun. Aku mencoba untuk tidur menunggu bel masukkan berbunyi.
Aku melihat Nia dan Hendra dari belakang sedang berpegangan tangan dan berjalan bersama disuatu ladang bunga yang luas. Tiba-tiba aku merasa sedih dan dadaku terasa sesak. Kemudian tak lama aku menangis, dan mencoba untuk menggapai Nia dengan tangan kananku. Namun, dia terus menjauh dariku dan aku tak bisa menggapainya. Aku terus mencoba berlari, namun dia semakin menjauh dariku hingga dia menghilang dari pandanganku. Disaat itu, rasa sakit didadaku semakin menyesakkan, air mataku tak berhenti menangis akan hal itu. Tiba-tiba ada sesorang yang menepuk pundakku. Kuberbalik dan melihat sosok perempuan tersebut tersenyum padaku. Seketika itu aku terbangun dan tak terasa air mataku menetes keluar dari kedua mataku. Dan aku masih merasakan sesak didada lalu ku genggam dengan erat dengan tangan kananku. Aku hanya terdiam saja sembari menangis. Mereka terlihat heran dengan keadaanku tersebut. Bu Ningsih yang baru saja masuk kelas dan melihatku seperti itu, berlari kearahku dan menanyakan keadaanku.
"Kamu kenapa Di?"
Aku tak menjawab pertanyaan dari bu Ningsih. Lalu bu Ningsih kembali menanyakan keadaanku.
"Kenapa kamu menangis."
Lalu aku melihat kearah bu Ningsih dan bertanya dengan nadaku yang datar, namun terlihat sedih.
"Aku menangis bu?"
Dia hanya mengangguk. Lalu kuraba kedua bawah mataku dan merasakan air mata mengalir. Aku mencoba untuk mengendalikan situasiku saat ini. Kuhapus air mataku tersebut dengan kedua tanganku. Lalu aku mengatakan sesuatu pada guruku dengan nadaku yang datar sembari menghapus air mataku.
"Bu, saya izin ke toilet."
Bu Ningsih mengiyakannya. Lalu aku berjalan dan pergi ke toilet tanpa melihat mereka semua. Sesampainya di toilet aku membasuh mukaku di wastafel. Aku melihat diriku yang menangis di cermin. Siapa aku? Kenapa aku bermimpi seperti itu? Kenapa dadaku ini terasa sesak? Kenapa aku menangis? Ada apa denganku?

Pertanyaan itu selalu dan selalu saja mengangguku. Aku masih berdiri dan terus menatap wajahku di cermin. Aku mulai mencoba untuk berpikir jernih dengan menghirup dan membuang nafas berkali-kali. Hingga akupun mulai mendapatkan ketenangan. Lalu aku kembali kekelas. Dan bu Ningsih menanyakan keadaanku yang saat ini lebih baik.
"Kamu kenapa Di? Apakah kamu sakit?"
Aku hanya menjawabnya dengan nada datarku.
"Tidak apa-apa bu, saya hanya mimpi buruk saja tadi."
Bu Ningsih merasa lega. Dan memberikan nasihat kepadaku.
"Kamu jangan terlalu sering tidur. Apalagi dikelas. Ibu sangat khawatir padamu."
Aku hanya mengangguk dan kembali lagi ke tempat dudukku. Aku tak ingin melihat wajah Nia. Setelah aku duduk, pelajaranpun dimulai kembali. Aku mengambil buku Bahasa Inggrisku di tas, dan sedikit melirik kearah Nia. Disaat yang sama, dia melihatku dengan tatapan matanya yang sedih.
Aku terkaget disaat mataku dan matanya saling menatap, begitupun dengan Nia. Lalu kami berdua memalingkan wajah kami. Situasi aneh ini kembali muncul. Ada apa denganku? Apakah ini yang dinamakan suka? Aku mencoba untuk memperhatikan pelajaran bu Ningsih meskipun aku tak mengetahui materinya tersebut.
Hingga jam pelajaran selesai dan bel istirahatpun berbunyi. Mereka seperti biasa bergegas keluar hingga hanya tersisa antara aku, Hendra dan Nia. Aku kembali meletakkan kepalaku diatas meja dan menahannya dengan kedua tangaknku dan mencoba tertidur sesaat. Hendra lalu mengatakan sesuatu pada Nia dengan nadanya yang sopan.
"Nia, mau makan bareng?"
Nia menolak tawarannya. Dan mengatakannya dengan nada pelannya yang biasa dia gunakan untuk melakukan komunikasi pada guru. Aku baru menyadari bahwa dia sering menggunakan nadanya tersebut hanya ketika bersama Hendra.
"Maaf Ndra, kamu duluan aja."
Lalu Hendra sedikit melihat kearahku. Lalu dia meninggalkan Nia dan aku sembari melambaikan tangannya ke arah Nia, dan Nia membalasnya. Setelah Hendra pergi, hanya tersisa aku dan Nia dikelas. Dia masih belum berkata apapun kepadaku. Hingga pada akhirnya diapun keluar kelas dan tak masih mengatakan apapun padaku. Hatiku merasa sedih kembali. Aku mengambil bekalku dan air minumku. Lalu aku berjalan perlahan ke tempat favoritku sambil tertunduk.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
