《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 41: Apa Yang Terjadi?
Advertisement
Perlombaan lari estafet khusus perempuan segera dimulai. Mereka bertiga sudah bersiap di posisinya masing-masing. Untuk pembawa tongkat pertama adalah Lisa, lalu dilanjutkan oleh Hani, dan yang terakhir adalah Nia. Bendera telah dikibarkan, Lisa berlari sangat cepat. Para penonton cukup keras menyoraki mereka semua. Khususnya para lelaki. Setelah itu tongkat tersebut diberikan oleh Hani, Hani tidak kalah cepat dengan Lisa. Hingga pada akhirnya giliran Nia untuk beraksi, tongkat sudah diberikan pada Nia dan dia bersiap untuk berlari.
Awalnya dia berlari cukup cepat. Namun tak berapa lama, kulihat Nia berlari cukup aneh. Dia seperti akan terjatuh, dan larinya juga mulai melambat. Aku yang merasa ada sesuatu hal yang aneh berusaha untuk mengejarnya dari kursi penonton. Hingga tibanya Nia hampir di garis finish, tubuhnya tiba-tiba terjatuh. Dengan sigap, kutangkap badannya. Dia seperti kebingungan dan bertanya padaku.
"Aku kenapa?"
Aku juga bingung dengan pertanyaannya tersebut. akupun membalas pertanyaannya tersebut dengan nadaku yang merasa khawatir pada dirinya.
"Harusnya aku yang bertanya padamu. Kamu kenapa?"
Dia memegangi kepalanya dan sedikit meringis kesakitan.
"Gak tau, tiba-tiba aku terjatuh begitu saja."
Lalu Hendra, Hani, dan Lisa menghampiri kami berdua. Hendra mendekati kami dengan membawa tas milik Nia dan bertanya padanya.
"Kamu kenapa Nia?"
Nia melihat kearah Hendra dan merasa bingung.
"Kamu siapa?"
Kami berdua kaget akan pertanyaanya tersebut. Hendra kembali mengatakan sesuatu pada Nia.
"Aku Hendra Nia. Masa kamu lupa."
Nia kembali memegangi kepalanya. Dia tak menanggapinya sama sekali. Tiba-tiba petugas keamanan datang dan membawa Nia menggunakan tandu dan dibawa ke ruang uks. Hendra yang merasa khawatir menyusul dari belakang dengan membawa tas Nia. Sedangkan aku sendiri hanya terdiam cukup lama. Kemudian, ku kembali ke kursi penonton. Setibanya di kursi penonton, Ian bertanya padaku mengenai Nia.
"Di, Nia kenapa tiba-tiba jatuh?"
Aku hanya menggelengkan kepala. Andre juga bertanya padaku.
"Di, kamu kok bisa tau kalo Nia mau terjatuh?"

Pertanyaanya yang gak tepat dengan situasi saat ini malah yang dia tanyakan padaku. Aku tak menjawabnya. Kemudian, Lisa dan Hani menghampiriku dan menanyakan hal yang sama. Kemudian Hani mengatakan sesuatu dengan nadanya yang sedikit cemburu.
"Kamu kok gak pergi melihat keadaan Nia di uks?"
Aku menjawabnya dengan nadaku yang datar.
"Tidak apa-apa. Lagian Hendra sudah kesana bukan?"
Hani hanya terdiam dengan perkataanku tersebut.
Sementara itu, perlombaan tetap dilanjutkan. Akan tetapi, kelas kami otomatis gugur karena tidak menyelesaikan perlombaan tersebut.
Disatu sisi, Nia sedang berada di ruang uks. Hendra juga berada di dalam dan duduk disamping tempat tidur tersebut. Dia menanyakan sesuatu pada Nia.
"Kamu kenapa Nia?"
Dia hanya terdiam. Kemudian dia menjawab pertanyaan Hendra.
"Tidak apa-apa? Maafkan aku karena tadi aku sempat melupakanmu."
Hendra hanya mengangguk saja. Nia melihat kearah tasnya sambil mengatakan sesuatu pada Hendra dengan nadanya yang pelan.
"Ndra, aku boleh minta tolong ambilkan binder catatanku di tas."
Kemudian Hendra membuka isi tas Nia. Dia mengambil buku tersebut dan bertanya pada Nia sembari memperlihatkan buku tersebut.
"Apakah ini?"
Nia mengangguk. Lalu Hendra memberikannya pada Nia. Nia menuliskan sesuatu di binder catatan tersebut dengan bolpoin yang terselip di binder tersebut. Hendra sedikit tertarik pada binder tersebut dan menanyakannya pada Nia.
"Bolehkah aku melihatnya?"
Nia menjawab dengan nadanya yang pelan.
"Maaf Ndra, tidak bisa."
Lalu dia memeluk binder tersebut dengan erat. Nia seperti ingin menangis. Hendra kembali bertanya pada Nia.
"Kamu kenapa? Sepertinya kamu menangis."
Nia kembali bertanya ada Hendra.
"Benarkah?"
Kemudian Nia mengusap wajahnya dengan kedua tangannya. Hendra yang melihat Nia seperti itu merasa sangat khawatir padanya. Akan tetapi, dia lebih memilih untuk diam. Tak lama kemudian, Hendra meninggalkan dirinya sendiri di ruang uks tersebut karena Hendra berpikir mungkin Nia sepertinya sedang ingin sendiri. Lalu Hendra berpamitan pada Nia dengan nadanya yang sopan.
"Kalau begitu, aku kembali kelapangan."
Dia hanya mengangguk dan tinggallah Niasendirian di ruangan tersebut. Tak lama kemudian Nia menangis sejadi-jadinyadengan suaranya yang di pelankan sambil terus memeluk binder tersebut denganeratnya.

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to my first attempt at writing a novel. I am preparing to participate in the 2017 NaNoWriMo event so enjoy the first chapter as that's here early only to ensure that I have a place to post once the event starts. This means the first novel/book will have a target of 50,000 words. I'm excited to attempt this challenge despite the hurdles I will have to overcome. I do have a demanding full time job so planning time to write and make weekly releases starting in November will be my biggest challenge. Also, please accept my apologies on my cover. I'm not an artist and the only digital tool available at my disposal is the stock microsoft paint. So I did my best to create a decent cover as I did not want to steal the work of another. If there are those interested by the end of November in donating a new fan made cover then I will look into replacing the old cover.

Since the day she was born, the Lady Eithne of Dolgallu has lived under a magical prohibition: she may not marry before the omens are deemed favorable. Now, after a harrowing journey to the most sacred place in the Five Kingdoms, the Drymyn Order, a mysterious sect of powerful priests and priestesses, have pronounced the omens favorable, and her wedding to King Eowain of Droma has been arranged. But Eithne has the right to accept—or reject—her suitor. She did not set this geas upon herself, didn't ask for the special attention of the Gods to her love-life. Yet the time for her decision has come. Eowain has proven himself loyal, brave, kind—all the things any woman might ask from a man. But there’s the way of it: this is the man, you must marry him. Is she not a free woman? Was she not guaranteed the right of choice? Eithne is frustrated by the expectation that she will simply acquiesce to her fate, that she must accept that the Gods wove some secret pattern for her life and she can do nothing to stop it. So how can she prove she has the freedom to choose if she doesn't choose, “No”? How can she know for herself that her will is truly her own if she consents?

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.
