《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 39: Hari Yang Ditunggu Telah Tiba
Advertisement
Setelah seminggu lamanya, hari yang dianti-nantikan telah tiba. Semua orang menyambutnya dengan meriah dan penuh suka cita. Namun berbeda denganku, aku malah masih khawatir akan perlombaanku nanti. Meskipun aku sudah latihan semampuku. Padahal cuman 4 kali aja sih lari paginya.
Sebelum perlombaan akan dimulai, kami semua berkumpul dilapangan untuk melakukan upaca pembukaan. Aku masih memikirkan perlombaan yang akan aku hadapi nanti, sehingga ku tak mendengarkan sambutan dari kepala sekolah mengenai ulang tahun disekolahku.
Hingga upacara pembukaan selesai. Sekarang waktunya perlombaan dimulai. Karena lapangan disekolahku tidak begitu besar, kamipun secara bergiliran dalam mengikuti semua perlombaan yang ada. Hal ini dikhususkan untuk perlombaan outdoor saja seperti Lari jarak pendek, dan Lari estafet. Untuk lomba Futsal, Volly dan Basket sudah ada lapangannya masing-masing dan dan dilaksanakan secara bersamaan. Begitupula untuk olahraga indoor dilakukan secara bersamaan juga.
Sekarang saatnya untuk lari jarak pendek. Aku merasa sedikit gugup. Namun, kuhilangkan perasaan tersebut dan fokus pada perlombaan dan menang. Kami semua sudah siap di posisi masing-masing.
"Bersedia... Siaaap... Mulai."
Bendera telah dikibarkan. Aku berusaha semaksimal mungkin dengan latihan dan teknik berlariku yang kupelajari di internet. Kuposisikan badanku tuk condong kedepan, kudorong lututku kedepan dengan kuat dan kuangkat dengan tinggi sehingga jangkauan langkahku lebih jauh, serta kuposisikan kaki dan tumitku dengan baik dan benar. Aku terus berlari dan memfokuskan diri dengan melihat garis finish yang tepat berada didepan mata.
Akhirnya aku telah mencapa garis finish. Aku langsung terduduk dengan posisi kaki lurus untuk merenggangkan otot kakiku. Aku tak memperdulikan aku berada diurutan keberapa, yang terpenting aku sudah berusaha sebaik mungkin. Lalu aku melentangkan tubuhku dalam posisi tidur. Tak berapa lama kemudian, Hani menghampiriku dan berkata sesuatu padaku.
"Wahh kamu hebat Di. Selamat ya."
Aku melihat kearahnya dengan satu mata kututp dengan lengan kananku. Lalu aku bertanya kepada Hani.
"Aku dapat di posisi berapa?"
Dia menjawabnya dengan nadanya yang gembira.
"Kamu masuk di posisi pertama."
Aku hanya diam dan tak mengeluarkan ekspresiapapun. Lathian dan teknik yang kupelajari ini tidak sia-sia. Dia mengulurkantangannya padaku. Namun aku menolaknya dan mengatakan bahwa aku masih ingintiduran disini. Dia hanya tersenyum dan melambaikan tangan kepadaku. Dankubalas lambaian tangannya tersebut. Aku kembali mengistirahatkan tubuhkudengan posisi terlentang sembari mengatur nafasku agar lebih stabil. Setelahkurasa kondisiku sudah lebih baik, aku langsung menuju dibangku penonton danmelihat lari estafet khusus laki-laki akan bersiap-siap.

Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for. Best of luck in choosing your next read, and if you don’t pick the Saga of the Space Marines today please consider us next time because reading great stories is time well spent.
