Sudah satu jam Velvet berada dalam forum ini, ikut duduk melingkari meja kantin yang dipenuhi piring nasi padang kosong, tapi otaknya masih sulit memproses apa yang mereka bicarakan. Seniornya di kampus meminta jadwal tutor dimajukan jadi siang ini. Padahal niatnya, Velvet ingin langsung pulang ke rumah dan tidur, baca ensiklopedia, makan sebanyak-banyaknya âapapun agar ia mampu melupakan Luke.

Ish, batin Velvet. Kenapa juga dia harus dilupain? Jangan deh.

"Velvet," panggil Bimo, salah satu seniornya. "Lo ga nyimak ya dari tadi?"

Velvet yang tadi berpangku tangan, kini langsung duduk tegap. "N-nyimak kok, kak!"

"Yaudah, jelasin apa yang dimaksud sama sistem stomatognati," timpal Firda, seniornya yang lain.

Velvet menghela napas panjang, tertawa diam-diam. Serius nih ga ada pertanyaan lain?

Dengan cepat dan lancar, Velvet menjawab pertanyaan yang mereka kira akan menjatuhkannya itu. Harusnya mereka tahu, pertanyaan itu terlalu mudah mahasiswi berotak encer yang prestasinya sudah jadi rahasia umum seperti Velvet.
