Suara perempuan dari dalam laptopnya menyapa telinga perempuan yang dipanggil Oline, amat mengganggunya terlebih dengan nada melirih seakan sarat penyesalan juga menahan kesakitan. Dia, Oliveira Sykes Almondef.

"Oline, i'm sorry."

"Eh? Hi, Olive, my best friend! I miss you so bad!" balasnya riang.

Oline atau yang kita kenal sebagai Hazel, sebenarnya menangkap suara sahabatnya yang melirih tapi demi apapun ia tak ingin bersedih di saat mereka melepas rindu.

"Oline," rengek gadis bersyal tersebut. Sedangkan, yang dipanggil hanya terkekeh kecil.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just kidding with you. Don't be serious, okey?"

"Yes, I know it. Oline, I miss your voice-"

"Zel, katanya lo mau nyanyi? Jadi, gak? Sini, gue gitarin!" Sebuah seruan memotong perkataan Olive. Sontak saja membuat Olive senang mendengarnya. Walaupun perempuan itu berasal dari kota yang memiliki julukan The Smoke, ia sedikit mengerti bahasa Indonesia apalagi sahabatnya tinggal di negara agraris tersebut.

"Oh, that's right! I want to ask you to sing a song by my favorite singer, Charlie Puth or Ariana Grande, how about it?"

"Fine, I'll fulfill it. Wait a minute, please." Matanya menatap sekeliling mencari Joshua yang tiba-tiba menghilang. "Eh, itu dia. Joshua, sini! Gue mau minta tolong," serunya ketika Joshua muncul dari dalam rumah.

"Apa?"

"Tolong arahin laptop gue ke sana, gue mau nyanyiin lagu buat Olive. Eh, iya, katanya Olive ada Max tapi gue belum ketemu, sih. Coba aja lo panggil." Setelahnya ia melangkah pergi diikuti Joshua yang saat ini mengarahkan laptop agar antara Hazel dan Olive bisa saling bertatapan.

Petikan gitar mulai terdengar, sedikit lagi suara indah dari vokalis utama girlband kebanggaan Altair, Voira Girlfiee, akan terdengar, menggema hingga ke London sana melalui laptopnya.

It started with a kiss on your mama's couch
2012 was nothing serious
I know we caught the feels, it got really real
Too good to be true, I guess I thought you was, yeah

Why did I run away, run away, run away?
Oh, your love was everything, everything, everything
I know it's gettin' late, gettin' late, gettin' late
But can I still be on my way, on my way? Yeah

I know I said goodbye and baby, you said it too
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you
I thought that I'd be better when I found someone new
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you

Baby now, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cheating on you
Baby now, oh-oh-oh
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you

Thought I could get you back any time of day
Shouldn't have been so cocky
Shouldn't have did you wrong (woah, oh)
And now I miss you bad, really, really bad
Guess you don't know what you got until it's gone

Why did I run away, run away, run away? (Run away)
Oh, your love was everything, everything, everything (everything)
I know it's getting late, getting late, getting late (getting n)
But can I still be on my way, on my way? Yeah

I know I said goodbye and baby, you said it too (you said it too, baby)
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you (I'm cheating on you)
I thought that I'd be better when I found someone new (ooh)
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you

Baby now, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cheating on you
Baby now, oh-oh-oh
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you

Baby, no
There ain't no lips like your lips
And nobody else feels like this
There's no moving on, I'll admit
If you go away
Yeah, ah

I know I said goodbye and baby, you said it too
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you (I'm cheating on you)
I thought that I'd be better when I found someone new (found someone new)
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you (believe it, baby)

Baby now, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cheating on you
Baby now, oh-oh-oh
But when I touch her I feel like I'm cheating on you

You said goodbye
And you said goodbye

"How about it, Oline? Are you happy? Oh, yeah, where's Max?" Tepat setelah ia bernyanyi, gadis itu kembali meninggalkan sahabat-sahabatnya menuju ke gazebo, dimana tadi mereka mengawali percakapan.

"Yes, I'm very happy. And that's Max, Max here you are. There's a girl who misses you."

"Is it true? Where's the girl?" Akhirnya, Max pun muncul dihadapan Hazel, dia muncul membawa segelas air putih dan sepertinya beberapa butir ... obat? Entahlah, Hazel melihatnya tak terlalu jelas.

"Max, I heard you just came back from Australia, didn't you?"

"Yes, true. How do you know?"

"From me, Max. Oline told me why don't you visit her?" Olive menjawab setelah menghabiskan sesuatu yang Max beri padanya tadi.

"Sorry, I forgot you, Oline. I was too busy yesterday," sesal cowok itu.

"Whatever you say. I'm just kidding."

"I forgot something! Max, can you leave us? There's something I want to talk to Oline." Tak butuh waktu lama, Max pun undur diri dari hadapan kamera.

"Oline, I'm sorry in advance if there's bad news from me later."

"Don't scare me, Olive. You know I could come to you right now!" Perasaan Hazel mulai bergemuruh. Entahlah, ia merasa tak nyaman apalagi saat Olive berkata seperti itu.

"Hey, don't interrupt me! Listen to me! I'm sorry, later if after this I leave, promise me you won't cry for me. Stay happy with your other friends, if you want to tell Max, trust him even though he often bully us, he is very trustworthy especially he is my old brother. I'm sure you're the greatest girl I've ever met. Thank you for spending your time being friendly with me. I'm happy with you, very happy."

Hazel terdiam, ia tak mampu membalas apapun hingga mereka mengakhiri panggilan video tersebut. Dirinya merasa bahwa itu adalah pesan terakhir dari sang sahabat. Berulang kali menetralkan pernapasannya supaya tenang. Namun, berulang kali pula ia overthinking.

Air mata Hazel terus mengalir, ia kecewa. Mengapa saat Olive sakit ia tak mengetahuinya? Mengapa harus disembunyikan? Sahabat macam apa dirinya ini?

"Zel, lo kenapa?" Bahunya terguncang. Ia menoleh, menatap Nabila di sisinya. Tak butuh waktu lama, Hazel menjatuhkan diri ke pelukan hangat sahabatnya itu.

"Bil, O-Olive meninggal. Gue baru kemarin ketawa bareng dia, Bil. Baru ke-kemarin gue nyanyi buat dia. Baru kemarin, Bil." Pecah sudah tangisannya. Untung saja bel belum berbunyi.

"Maksud lo?" tanya Jeje, tak lupa ia membantu Nabila menenangkan Hazel.

"B-barusan Max nge-dm dia bilang kalau kemarin malam Olive meninggal, g-gue merasa gak berguna ja-jadi sahabat!"

"Ssstt! Udah, ya. Udah, Zel." Hazel tak lagi mampu menahan air matanya, bahkan hingga asma yang dideritanya tiba-tiba kambuh. Joshua yang kala itu baru saja kembali, langsung mencari inhaler dan membawa sepupunya ke UKS disusul Tasya yang juga anggota PMR. Sedangkan, Jeje dan Nabila mengambil alih tugas untuk memberi izin pada guru yang belum lama masuk.

•••

"Gimana?" Saat pergantian jam pelajaran, Tasya kembali. Sontak membuat keduanya mencecar pertanyaan yang sama. Walaupun Tasya gadis yang polos, tetapi gadis itu tetap bisa diandalkan.

"Sst! Sabar, ya. Masih ada guru killer-nya, Tasya takut soalnya Tasya diceritain sesuatu sama Joshua." Jeje yang duduk di sebelahnya berdecak. Ia menarik ponsel yang berada dalam laci, membuka roomchat antara dirinya dan Nabila, mengaktifkan voice note, kemudian menyuruh Tasya menceritakan apa yang ia dapatkan dari Joshua.

Dia meletakkan ponsel di antara keduanya. "Gak ada alasan lagi, Tas. Buruan cerita." Acungan jempol pun ia dapatkan.

"Oline nama kecil Hazel waktu di London. Hazel sama Joshua dulunya TK bareng-bareng di sana sama dua sahabatnya itu, si Olive dan Max. Nah, waktu SD, Hazel pindah ke Jakarta udah jarang ke sana yang artinya jarang ketemu Olive. Saat SMP, Joshua pindah ke Indo bersamaan dengan pindahnya orang tua Hazel ke Amerika. Jadi, antara Olive sama Hazel cuma komunikasi via Skype. Padahal Olive punya cita-cita mau kuliah bareng Hazel di sini, mau nerusin bisnis butik mama mereka yang udah bercabang ke mana-mana. Kalian tau Olineira Boutique? Nah, itu usaha keduanya. Bisa dibilang, Olive sahabat Hazel dari kecil sampai sekarang, makanya Hazel merasa kehilangan banget, kurang lebih gitu, deh," papar Tasya tenang. Dilanjutkan Jeje mengirimkan voice note tersebut ke Nabila dalam diamnya. Tak menunggu lama, gadis berhijab itu mendengarnya melalui earphone dari dalam hijabnya.
