Banyak yang bilang, masa putih-abu adalah saat yang tepat untuk cinta bersemu. Dua hati bertemu, bunga-bunga pun bermekaran. Serasa dunia milik berdua, yang lain buang saja ke lautan.
Cinta, satu kata penuh makna. Berjuta tafsiran di sandingkan padanya.
Arfan dengan game? Ya, itu cinta.
Toro dengan konspirasi alien? Ya, itu cinta.
Pak Galuh dengan tengkorak manusia purba? Ya, itu cinta.
Pak Rama dengan ulangan matematika dadakan? Jangan percaya. Kalau yang ini bukan cinta namanya. Si Bapak saja yang terlalu senang membuat muridnya menderita.
Apapun pendapat kalian soal cinta, itu hak kalian untuk percaya. Merupakan hak-ku pula untuk memilih apa yang mau ku yakini.
bagiku, cinta itu omong kosong, penderitaan, bajingan, menjijikkan, ku biarkan kata-kata itu tertanam dalam kepercayaan; di biarkan menggebu, bersatu dengan emosi yang semakin berkobar bersamaan dengan panasnya telinga saat mendengar kikikan Ibu di halaman belakang. Ahh, yang lagi kasmaran. Bertelepon dengan selingkuhannya lagi, tuh.
Those who were taken...
They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return.
Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths.
Like shadows they lay in wait, the deep blue waters hiding them from view.
With sharp claws they attack,
Pointed fangs tearing into skin,
Eager mouths devouring human flesh.
Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no.
She was a captive.
~•~
Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away. Her efforts go to waste as her body slowly starts to shut down, the air in her lungs quickly being replaced by sea water.
Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness.
And so she is taken.
Another victim of the mysterious sea.
