Arti Sore Throat

Cool breeze… Smell… Warm… Smoke… Hot. “Gasp!” My eyes shoot open and dart around the room. Left - table, right - chart, left - machine, right - small tube. It doesn’t take me long, I know I am in a hospital. My throat is dry, my hands are close to numb, and my voice doesn’t seem to work. “Heh… Heelllpah…”

Artie had lived her whole life feeling like a joke. Whether it came to her full name, her parents ‘abandoning’ her and her next door neighbours taking her in, or finding out that her lover was part of a cult and was cheating on her. Said lover then stabbed her. It felt like she just couldn’t catch a break. So when she found herself in a puddle of her own blood, staring up at a fake painted sky, she could only find humour in the situation, and prayed that the next life was kinder. Only she woke up. In the same body, with the same stab wound, only in a world full of magic, swords, and a dead King Arthur? Yup. The round table existed, the knights existed, and so did everyone of legend that she’d heard about as a child. Only it was the beginning of their tales. Nothing had happened yet, except the formation of Camelot, the crowning of the King, and then the sudden death of the King of Legend, King Arthur Pendragon. She would have thought this was another cruel joke if everyone wasn’t wandering around in mourning clothes. If this was a practical joke, it wasn’t a very funny one. Artie was tired. She’d already spent almost a decade working as a police officer, and then a detective, so she felt like she had earned her peace. Especially after all the shit she’d been put through, but someone had different plans. And Artie’s life wasn’t quite done yet. In fact, it seemed like in the eyes of the creatures of this world, this was where she was always meant to be. The time she spent getting her ass handed to her in the other dimension? Just a warm up. And now she was expected to just…go along with what everyone else wanted her to do? Including magical beings who were responsible for taking her from one dimension to another. Artie felt like she was in over her head, even if there were several concerned, attractive knights around her. She wasn’t sure if she was going to run away from all the new responsibilities, or embrace them. She wasn’t a rule breaker by nature, but maybe now was the time to change?

"Ternyata aku salah lan, seharusnya perasaan ini kusimpan baik hingga akhir tanpa ada yang tau kalo pada akhirnya perasaan ini engga akan pernah menyatu dengan pemiliknya." Kadang kita merasa hidup ini penuh dengan misteri. Sesuatu terjadi terkadang diluar nalar kita sebagai manusia biasa. Hadirnya cinta, hadirnya kebahagiaan, hadirnya kasih sayang, dan hadirnya canda dan tawa membuat hidup ini terasa lebih berarti. Senang rasanya saat dalam kondisi keadaan-keadaan tersebut. Namun yang tak habis pikir, Tuhan juga menciptakan perasaan yang berlawanan dengan rasa yang kita inginkan. Yaitu dengan hadirnya sedih, hadirnya patah hati, dan hadirnya air mata. Bahkan tak jarang semesta juga memberikan kita dua perasaan yang berlawanan sekaligus. Misalnya tersenyum disaat sakit, atau sedih disaat tersenyum. Sama seperti Bumi yang harus berjuang untuk kisah asmaranya, mempertahankan hidupnya dan menguatkan hatinya atas takdir yang Tuhan berikan. Mungkinkah dia menyerah?
