Secercah Pelangi


Husssssh....huuush........
          Suara tiupan angin memenuhi tiap jalan dan pepohonan yang berada diantara seorang gadis yang sedang menyusuri jalan saat menuju suatu halte bus. Gadis itu berjalan gontai menghalau tiap angin yang meniup hijab yang ia kenakan. Pagi itu cuaca terlihat begitu syahdu, gadis yang bernama ica itu seketika melihat ke langit biru. Seakan langit itu mengerti suasana hatinya yang sedang gundah.
          Gadis itu pun akhirnya duduk di bagian ujung kursi halte. Sambil menunggu kedatangan angkutan umum, ia termangu melihat hamparan pohon-pohon tinggi dihadapannya. Hatinya gundah memikirkan tiap tugas kuliah yang mesti harus selesai minggu itu. Saat sibuk memikirkan tugas-tugasnya, ia lalu teringat dengan sosok wanita tinggi cantik yang selalu mensupportnya dahulu.
          Ketika itu, kelas begitu ricuh suara setiap member kelas ada dimana-mana.  Hampir tiap siswa sibuk melakukan berbagai macam hal. Saat itu guru bahasa inggris yang mestinya masuk ke kelas, tak kunjung memunculkan wajahnya. Sepertinya mereka begitu senang dengan keadaan itu. Karena tidak harus mempelajari tiap kata tiap rumus yang dapat memecahkan otak mereka perlahan demi perlahan.
          Ica kecil sibuk membuat doodle art bersama dua teman dekatnya. Saat asik-asiknya dan sibuk tertawa, seorang wanita melangkah memasuki kelas mereka. Langkah tiap langkah wanita itu bak seorang model cantik. Semua pasang mata tertuju pada sosok didepan mereka. WHO IS SHE????
Ternyata eh ternyata, ia adalah Miss Vivi. Wanita cantik itu ternyata seorang guru bahasa inggris yang baru datang ke sekolah mereka. Lalu apa yang akan dilakukannya di kelas ica??? Miss Vivi akan menggantikan guru bahasa inggris mereka sebelumnya.
          Seisi kelas seakan terhipnotis dengan kecantikan wanita itu. Tapi tidak dipungkuri mereka juga berpikir apa sih hebatnya dia?? Apa bisa dia membuat mereka dapat mengerti Bahasa asing yang ribet itu.
          Proses pembelajaran miss vivi pertama kali dikelas itu benar-benar membuat seisi kelas takjub. Ia wanita yang having fun, easing going dan dapat membuat hampir seisi kelas mengerti yang ia sampaikan, tak dipungkiri juga untuk seorang ica.
          Lambat laun, hingga beberapa bulan lamanya mereka diajarkan oleh Miss vivi. Mereka semakin jatuh cinta dengan wanita cantik itu dan juga pada bahan ajarannya. Ica pun akhirnya semakin dalam semakin terhipnotis oleh sosok miss vivi. "Andai aku menjadi guru kelak, aku akan berusaha menjadi wanita sepertinya, sosok rupawan yang tegas dan having fun".
          Setelah peran ica sebagai seorang siswa telah usai, ia lalu mulai bingung menuju jalan hidupnya selanjutnya. Ketika sosok orangtua menginginkannya melanjutkan pendidikan, ica tak perlu berpikir ribuan kali akan menjadi apa.
          Pada akhirnya, ica memilih program bahasa inggris karena sosok miss vivi tercintanya. Setelah memasuki kehidupan kuliah, banyak hambatan yang ia hadapi. Ketika ia mulai buntu, maka ia menyempati diri menuju sekolah lama lalu menghampiri her inspiration woman. Miss vivi mendengarkan keluh kesahnya, memberikan banyak arahan padanya.
          Ingatan itu benar-benar menghanyutkan ica. Seketika angin sepoi membuyarkan lamunannya. Lalu ia melihat sekelilingnya telah dipenuhi oleh orang-orang yang menunggu kedatangan si roda empat, tidak lama setelah itu yang ditunggu pun telah tiba. Gadis kecil itu pun masuk kedalamnya untuk melanjutkan aktivitas kuliahnyaa.

MY FRIEND BIOGRAPHY: ANNISA SEPTIANI

10:04:00 AM



A Taciturn Girl


Pagi yang indah, cuaca yang mendung penuh kedamaian di hari kamis. Seorang gadis duduk termangu di sudut ruangan kelas dikerumunan orang-orang yang sibuk dengan aktivitas mereka, ada yang sibuk bernyanyi, selfie, gosip terkini, hingga aksi buat tugas pagi hari. Yaaa Annisa Septiani, gadis virgo kelahiran 4 september 20 tahun yang lalu ini senang menyendiri duduk manis menanti dosen yang akan melakukan proses belajar mengajar di kelas itu. 
Ica begitu biasanya dia disapa. Dia tidak terlalu memperdulikan sekitarnya. Dia hanya sibuk dengan aktivitasnya. Bukan dia tak memiliki teman, namun baginya berteman itu hanya seadanya saja. Ia juga bahkan akan berbicara seadanya saja. Jarang sekali teman kelasnya melihat ica tertawa besar (ngakak) ketika ada sesuatu yang lucu dikelas. Bahkan tertawa kecil juga jarang ditemukan di raut wajahnya. Ia hanya tersenyum kecil ketika orang melihat kearahnya. 
Walau ia gadis yang senang menyendiri namun ia tak begitu diam saat suatu perkuliahan sedang berlangsung, terkadang satu dua kali ica memberikan pertanyaan seputar topik yang dibahas oleh temannya saat diskusi. 
Arloji ditangannya telah menunjukan pukul 11.30, itu berarti aktivitas kuliah hari itu telah usai. Namun, ica kecil tak kunjung pulang. Saat teman-teman yg lain keluar kelas, ada yang menuju parkiran dan ada yang menuju kantin. Ia malah mencari posisi enak dipojokan kelas, duduk sembari melihat-lihat tiap baris tulisan yang ada di binder kesayangannya. Yaa benar sekali, dia sedang mengerjakan tugas perkuliahan pada hari itu. Walau pendiam, ia terlihat rajin dalam mengerjakan tugas.  Ia akan tetap berada di dalam kelas, untuk beberapa hal. Terkadang tidak hanya untuk sebuah tugas, ia juga lebih memilih tetap pada posisi duduk nya di kelas itu bersama beberapa teman sembari membuka tasnya mencari benda mungil yang selalu ia bawa. Handphone kebanggaannya. Ia mulai mengutak atik ponsel itu mencari pengaturan untuk menyetel koneksi, agar terhubung dengan wi-fi kelas dan tak lupa colokan ponsel saat low-bat. Terkadang ia akan betah seperti itu hingga 3 jam lamanya. 
Ketika ia mulai jenuh, baru ia mulai mengemas seluruh barang-barangnya bersiap go home. Cacing mulai berperang didlm perutnya. 
Istilah kupu-kupu (kuliah pulang-kuliah pulang) terkadang melekat pada dirinya. Saking ia begitu pendiam, bahkan satu-dua orang teman sekelasnya biasanya kaum lelaki pun kadang bertanya, "Ada yang tau namanya ica? Siapa ica dikelas kita?" atau "Wee mau nanya annisa tu yang mana? Kelas kita?", ketika mereka telah mengetahui wajah ica atau annisa yang dimaksud baru mereka menyadari bahwa gadis itu yang bernama Annisa Septiani. Gadis pendiam yang suka duduk dipojokan kelas, tak terlalu suka dengan perkumpulan. Jarang tertawa, hanya ulasan senyum yang terlihat. Mungkin ada faktor kenapa ia begitu diam. Diam bukan sesuatu yang negative kok. Walau begitu, ia gadis yang baik hati dan juga rajin.
