Prolog
IA menyesap minumannya pelan dan memandang ke luar jendela. Salju mulai turun
lagi. Ia berdiri di sana beberapa saat, memandangi butiran salju yang melayang-layang
di luar.
Ada yang hilang.
Keningnya berkerut samar. Tentu saja ada yang hilang. Ia tahu benar ada sesuatu
yang hilang. Hanya saja ia tidak tahu apa yang hilang itu. Dan apakah sesuatu yang
hilang itu penting atau tidak.
Ia menarik napas dalam-dalam. Yah... mungkin bukan sesuatu yang penting.
Ia berputar membelakangi jendela dan memandang ke sekeliling ruangan. Aula
besar itu mulai ramai. Orang-orang terlihat gembira, saling tersenyum, tertawa, dan
mengobrol. Seorang kenalannya tersenyum dan melambai ke arahnya. Ia balas
tersenyum dan mengangkat gelas.
Tepat pada saat itulah ia melihat orang itu.
Orang itu baru memasuki ruangan. Matanya tidak berkedip mengamati orang itu
menyalami beberapa orang sambil tersenyum lebar. Aneh... Ia menyadari dirinya tidak
bisa mengalihkan pandangan.
Ia melihat orang itu mengambil segelas minuman dari meja bulat bertaplak putih
sambil bercakap-cakap dengan seseorang yang berdiri di sampingnya. Kemudian orang
itu mengangkat wajah dan memandang ke seberang ruangan. Tepat ke arahnya.
Mata mereka bertemu dan waktu serasa berhenti.
Aneh sekali. Otaknya tidak mengenal orang itu. Ia yakin ia tidak mengenal orang
itu. Tetapi kenapa sepertinya hatinya berkata sebaliknya?
Kenapa hatinya seakan berkata padanya bahwa ia merindukan orang itu?

MUSIM dingin sudah tiba dan menyelimuti kota Tokyo. Angin bertiup agak kencang
malam ini. Ishida Keiko mengibaskan rambut panjangnya ke belakang agar tidak
menghalangi pandangan sementara ia bergegas menyusuri jalan kecil dan sepi yang
mengarah ke gedung apartemennya. Ia menggigil karena rasa dingin mulai menembus
jaket dan sweter tebalnya. Ia ingin cepat-cepat sampai di rumah, minum secangkir
cokelat panas, dan makan ramen1. Memikirkannya saja sudah membuat perut
keroncongan. Dingni-dingin begini memang paling enak...
“Hei!”
Keiko terlompat kaget dan berputar cepat. Matanya terbelalak menatap wanita
dengan rambut pendek dicat pirang manyala yang sudah berdiri di sampingnya. Begitu
mengenali wanita itu sebagai Sato Haruka, tetangganya yang tinggal di apartemen
lantai bawah, Keiko menghembuskan napas lega.
“Haruka Oneesan2,” Keiko mendesah sambil memegang dada. “Oneesan
membuatku terkejut setengah mati.”
Sato Haruka mendecakkan lidah dan tersenyum lebar. “Kau terlalu gampang
terkejut.”
“Oneesan tahu aku selalu merasa waswas kalau berjalan sendirian di jalan sepi,”
kata Keiko. “Dan aku punya alasan bagus untuk itu.”
“Baiklah, baiklah. Aku minta maaf. Ayo, cepat. Aku sudah hampir beku,” kata
Haruka sambil menggandeng lengan Keiko. “Kelihatannya barang bawaanmu banyak
sekali. Kau bawa buku lagi hari ini?”
