Terbakar!Rasa panas menjalar menembus tulang, suara teriakan terdengar. Jeritan dan erangan pilu makin menjadi, tetapi aku terkurung dalam ruang yang gelap.Tidak bisa bergerak.Tap! Tap! Tap!Suara langkah kaki berat mendekat, aku tak bisa menoleh. Tubuhku tak bisa dikendalikan, seperti bukan milikku.Tiba-tiba. Sebuah tangan melingkar pada pinggangku. "Syuttt, kamu tidak akan mati!" Seseorang memelukku dari belakang. 'siapa?'Akhhh!!!Mati...dia bilang aku tak akan mati. Ta-tapi mengapa, leherku begitu sakit. Seolah-olah terbakar?!***Dia adalah awal dan akhir sebuah Tradegy. Yang berarti indah, dan bisa berarti menyakitkan.Cahaya yang berbunyi di langit Elydra yang gelap, lahir dan tumbuh di sebuah desa kecil bernama Clossiana Frigga. Tempat manusia tinggal dan hidup dari bayang-bayang hutan pinus penuh misteri, dibatasi gunung batu utara yang curam, serta memiliki lautan dan sugai bening yang tak terjama kedalamannya.Warga desa percaya, kalau ada sesuatu yang mengerikan dalam lautan. Jadi kami mengambil, tidak menyelam. Meski hidup dalam ketakutan dunia luar, desa ini cukup damai dan sejahtera, indah dengan pohon-pohon berwarna jingga layaknya musim gugur. Ada juga yang hijau, tetapi sebagai pohon yang tumbuh di wilayah Clossiana Frigga, adalah jingga, kekuningan, dan coklat. Tumbuh secara natural dari tanah yang subur.***"Emabell!" panggil seseorang, padaku yang sedang menikmati pemandangan dari jembatan kokoh yang menghadap langsung ke utara.Bahkan jebatan ini bisa menampung seluruh warga desa jika sedang banjir, dari sini, bangunan-bangunan desa terlihat sangat kecil. Konon katanya, jembatan ini dibangun oleh raja dari utara ke dua, untuk kekasihnya. Yang berujung perpecahan dunia Elydra.Sekarang, jembatan ini tinggal sejarah saja."Nike?!" Aku tau, orang yang suka datang ke jembatan ini selain aku. Ada Nike—Gadis cantik dengan perawakan tomboy. Nike itu cuma nama samaran, aslinya adalah Nirmala, tetapi ia lebih suka dipanggil Nike biar lebih keren saja katanya."Sedang memikirkan hal fantastis lagi tentang dunia ini Emabell?" tanyanya dengan nada mengejek. Akupun tertawa, "sekarang apa? Menciptakan jalan dengan membelah gunung utara? Atau, menciptatakan sayap untuk menjelajahi hutan pinus?" pikir Nike menyindir semua keinginan Emabell yang sangat mustahil.Tetapi aku tak pernah marah atau tersingung. Nike justru benar, mimpiku hanya terlalu luar biasa.Andai saja tak Aada aturan territory, mungkin hutan pinus bisa dijelajahi, dan gunung utara bisa didaki. "Hah!" Aku menghela nafasku berat. "Mungkin raja yang tinggal disana bisa mengerti, kalau bersama-sama akan jauh lebih baik bagi setiap territory," kataku sembari menatap ke arah gunung utara."Tapi mereka berbeda Abelll!""Memangnya kenapa kalau berbeda Nike? Kita 'kan, sama-sama bernafas!" ujarku sembari membari memayumkan bibirku ke kanan cemberut.Nike malah gemes. "Iya tahu, tapi bukan seperti itu juga konsepnya. Ingat, mereka yang hidup di balik pohon pinus, lautan, dan gunung. Bernafas selamanya, sedangkan kita hanya harus menikmati hidup dengan damai. Abell, bersama ck! Jangan mimpi!" jelasnya lagi."Benar, tapi Nike. Pernahkah kamu berpikir, untuk menaiki kuda, memakai jubah dan anak panah. Melintasi gunung dan lembah, atau berlari di hutan tanpa halang, serta berenang tanpa rasa takut?" tanyaku diakhir.Semuanya terdengar penuh dengan keinginan dan harapan.Nike makin bingung denganku."Bukan berlari di tengah hutan, tapi jadi santapan, bukan juga berenang, tapi mati sia-sia, bukan mendaki...tapi diperkosa oleh penduduk utara!" urainya membenarkan semua akibat dari keinginan Emabell barusan. "Kita manusia, fana, lemah...."Aku menimpali. "Tapi kita punya hati yang tulus....""Dan mereka tidak punya hati untuk membalas ketulusan kita!" sambung Nike kali ini di sertai tawa menyerigai—sebelum Nike mengambil alih keranjang buah yang ada di sampingku yang kosong. "Kita pulang dalam 10 menit lagi, jangan terlambat Emabell!" seru Nike sembari melambaikan tangannya padaku.Sebenarnya, memetik buah adalah tugasku. Akan tetapi, Nike selalu mengambil alih agar aku punya waktu mencari jamur obat untuk warga di dekat hutan pinus.Setiap datang aku hanya melihat sekilas, tak berani masuk karena itu bukanlah wilayah manusia. Jadi, aku hanya mencari di pinggir-pinggir hutan saja.Tetapi beberapa saat kemudian, aku menatap ke arah kiri dan kanan. Mengawasi, sebab di belakang pohon pinus ada jamur putih yang kubutuhkan.Namun saat aku hendak melangkah, lenganku malah di cekal oleh tangan seseorang. "Itu bukan bagian dari Clossiana Frigga!"DEG! Mataku membelalak.Satu yang kupikirkan, 'berbahaya!'Bersambung....When I got to the wasteland, I found The Mystery- voice waiting for me in person, at the exact spot he said we should meet at. It was on that moment I believed that I`ve being living a lie for all my life. I have being speaking to one person in different forms. The Mystery- voice, the Old- man Scientist, the Cruel- man and My Advocate. All these men were in one man. I should have known better. “Who do you want to talk too?” he asked, “Mystery or Cruel or Advocate?” “I want to talk to the real you.” He transformed as he turned to look at me. It was The Old man scientist. “Young man, what is it you want to talk about?” “My life.” I said, “You know me, what do you think of me? Who am I?” “I know too much about you. I know that everything you do is out of pure intentions. That you do wrong for the good course.” he said, “But as someone who knows nothing about you. I think you are a heartless piece of a scam bag!” “So should I just admit that this is a life I was born to live? That n
My girlfriend was accepted in one of the best Universities that produce the best Medical Doctors in the whole world. It was the best thing that ever happened to her; to us. I was happy that for her. For me. For us. For the first time in my life, at least, there`s someone I can name and say they are a living proof that dreams do come true. You can be the best if you want too. And that proof was my fiancé. Yes, I proposed to her after she got her results and an admission letter. I proposed and she said yes! She accepted to be Mrs. Me. Never mind, I`m getting married so young. Her PHD is going to come with my surname written on it. What an achievement to me! On the day she left to go and further education, we accompanied her as a family to the airport. “Babe, please take good care of Junior.” She spoke in a soft voice. “And please behave. I don’t want mom and sis` telling that you are hooking up with your old friends again.” “Babe, the day I bought that ring in your finger, I had p
The new year came and I had been promoted to my final grade. My girlfriend was nervous and awaiting her matric results. We all knew she had excelled but her worried was being accepted at a tertiary institution of her choice.Our son was growing, so was our relationship. For the past few weeks, I experienced love at its purest form. It was a feeling I can`t explain. I knew I could get more of that for many years if only I become a guy she wants out of me. This girl is full of love. If only I put away this Mastermind and become the real me. Innocent and smart. I would get her unconditional love forever.I do wish to do away with this life. I want too. But realistically, it`s not that easy. I can`t just up and change the situation. There are people who live by the grace of my existence, of Mastermind. I, killing that name would be indirectly killing those people. I can`t just let that happen. I need to do something, I need to do what`s right.“And what`s right, Mastermind?”“Securing tha
Days passed and everything was fine. I had no difficulties with my exams and was done with physio, and I could walk properly so. However, they will never forget that Mastermind was once on a wheelchair, so I had to entertain mockery they made out of it at school just until there`s something new they could talk about.During these days, the only thing I thought about was a plan to make my friend stop getting the monthly debt from the medical facility. I hadn’t thought of any that will work but I had to pay him a visit before the payday. Fortunately, he paid me a visit first- at school.“My friend, I can see you`ve recovered, hey.” He said, “Who would say you were in a wheelchair a few weeks ago.”“What do you want?”“The last time we spoke, I told you we are not done.” He said, “The car is waiting at the gate. Let`s go already.”“I just wonder how they even left you to enter the premise.”When we got to the gate, we found a Rolls Royce waiting for us. We were going for a spin, or so he
They say God created this world and its people. They say He wanted nothing but peace towards his people. But what was he thinking? How dare He create us, alone, without a mother? I mean how would we have peace amongst us in a place without a mother`s love? Only she knows what peace is, th
I am now in grade7, yet I haven’t got something promising about my dream. My brother is not here to take me to that Old man`s laboratory. Maybe my brother was right, maybe I am too young to be here. Ever since I`ve been outside home I`ve done nothing good rather tha
A friend is supposed to be someone you know well and like. Someone who always supports the best in you. A person who has the same interests and opinions as yours. If I can have someone like that in my life, I`ll get a clearer picture of the path I really need to take. But who could it be?
Now that the key belongs to me, I consider myself facing reality since I`d be mixing up with the outside world dreamers. “Are you ready to take that step though?” asked the mystery voice. “Who are you? What do you want from me?” My lastborn brother came
