《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 28: Perbincanganku Dengan Hendra
Advertisement
Keesokan harinya. Dikelas seperti biasa aku akan tidur menunggu bel masukkan berbunyi. Ketika aku mulai tertidur, tiba-tiba ada yang membangunkanku. Dan ternyata Hendra. Ngapain dia membangunkanku? Apakah ini menyangkut Nia dan kejadian kemarin? Lalu dia memulai pembicaraan dengan nadanya yang sopan kepadaku.
"Kira-kira, menurutmu orang yang Nia suka siapa ya?"
Aku yang tak memperdulikan pertanyaannya itu hanya menjawab dengan nadaku yang datar dan singkat.
"Ntah."
Hendra kembali bertanya padaku tentang Nia lagi.
"Apakah Nia itu memang menyukaimu?"
Aku terdiam sejenak. Dan mengatakan hal yang sama.
"Ntah."
Hendra yang merasa agak kesal dengan semua jawabanku tersebut mencoba untukku berbicara padanya.
"Dari tadi aku terus yang bertanya. Sekarang giliranmu."
Aku megikuti kemauannya karena percuma bila akhirnya juga aku yang akan disuru mengatakan sesuatu padanya.
"Kemarin sepertinya kamu mencari cokelat yang dilempar oleh Nia. Kenapa?"
Hendra menjawab dengan segenap hatinya.
"Cokelat itu melambangakan perasaanku padanya. Bila dia membuangnya, maka sama saja dia membuang perasaanku tersebut."
Memang dia menolaknya kan. Kenapa nih anak tetap bersikeras untuk bisa menjadi pacarnya Nia. Dia melanjutkan pembicaraanya tersebut.
"Aku gak akan menyerah sampai bisa mendapatkannya."
Aku yang mendengar itu, tak memperdulikannya. Dia kembali menanyakan sesuatu padaku.
"Menurutmu apa yang harus kulakukan?"
Aku yang merasa bingung, hanya menjawab sesuai dengan pemikiranku.
"Menurutku, kamu mencari orang lain saja. Kulihat kamu memiliki wajah yang tampan. Pasti banyak perempuan yang menyukaimu."
Dia berfikir sejenak dengan perkataanku tersebut. Dia mengatakan sesuatu yang membuatku bingung.
"Aku gak akan menyerah untuk mendapatkan Nia. Sampai memang dia sudah memiliki pacar, mungkin aku akan mencari penggantinya."
Aku heran, kenapa dia sampai segitunya demi Nia. Kemudian aku menjawabnya sambil tertidur sambil mengacungkan jempol kananku kedia.
"Oke"
Dia menepuk pundakku dan berkata.
"Sepertinya kamu enak diajak ngobrol. Kenapa kamu gak ada ngomong sama sekali dikelas?"
Aku hanya terdiam tak menjawabnya.
"Ya sudahlah. Kalo gitu aku mau balik ke tempat dudukku. Thanks"
Aku masih tak menjawabnya. Setelah kumelihatHendra kembali ketempat duduknya, kulanjutkan tidurku yang sempat tertundatadi.

Fallout: Vault X
An original novel set in the Fallout universe, written to be accessible to all, featuring unique people and places. Vol.II. out now Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race. A quirk of fate saw John equipped not with the crude, clunky, pipboy model his father wore. That almost everyone around him wore. His looked smaller, sleeker, finished in a jet black sheen. And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes
