MANILA

11

Manila, Kinara, Priscilla dan Sasha sedang duduk di ruangan studio musiknya. Sekarang sudah jam istirahat kedua, mereka mendapat satu jam extra karena guru yang kebetulan sedang absen. 

"Yaudah ayok kita mulai," ucap Sasha. Untuk proyek akhir di pelajaran musik, siswa disuruh cover sebuah lagu. 

"Gue piano," sahut Priscilla. 

"Gue keyboard tapi pake suara violin aja deh," sahut Sasha.

"Gue guitar," sahut Kinara. 

Manila mengerucutkan bibirnya. "Lah gue apa dong?" 

"Lo nyanyi aja!" Ujar Kinara. 

"Cih! Gue gak bisa nyanyi," decak Manila.

"Kita coba aja dulu, jadinya lagu Ghostin oleh Ariana Grande kan?" Tanya Priscilla.

"Iya,"

"Satu,"

"Dua,"

"Tiga!" 

Keyboard bersuara violin dimulai oleh Priscilla. Jujur, Manila gugup. Ia memang suka bernyanyi tetapi tidak didepan orang-orang. 

"I know you hear me when I cry
I try to hold it in the night
While you're sleepin' next to me
But it's your arms that I need this time"

Suara Manila mengelilingi seluruh ruangan studio musik. Merdu sekali suaranya. Teman-temannya tau Manila suka nyanyi tetapi yang mereka tidak tau adalah suara Manila akan sebagus itu, nyaris terdengar seperti Ariana Grande. 

Guitar yang diiringi oleh piano masuk, lagu Ghostin ini sebuah lagu yang halus. Lagu ini memberi makna sebagai 'merasa kasian untuk orang yang bersama kita karena kita mencintai orang lain. merasa buruk karena dia bisa mengatakan dia tidak bisa membandingkan dengan orang yang masih kita cintai.' Ya, sedih memang. 

"Look at the cards that we've been dealt

If you were anybody else
Probably wouldn't last a day
Every tear's a rain parade from hell Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts youI know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' himWe'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeahThough I wish he were here instead
Don't want that living in your head
He just comes to visit me
When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then)
And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through)
There's so much to look forward to
What was done and what was said
Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you)Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you, babyI know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' himWe'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah"

Lagu ditutup oleh suara guitar yang melambat serta gumamam Manila yang bernada. 

"MANILAAA BAGUS BANGET SUARA LOO!" Seru Sasha. 

Manila menutup mukanya yang merah. "Biasa aja ah,"

"GAK  BOHONG BAGUS BANGET!" Sahut Priscilla sambil memeluk Manila. "Kalau gini kita bisa ikut pentas dah,"
