Alderfer's Erg Theory

"ดาวเคียงเดือน หรือเรียกอีกอย่างหนึ่งว่าพระจันทร์ยิ้มไง ปืนรู้จักใช่ไหม เมื่อกี้เค้าอ่านเจอในเฟซบุ๊ก บอกว่าค่ำวันนี้จะมี เค้าอยากดูมากกกก" ผมพยักหน้า ร้องอ๋อ แล้วเอนตัวไปข้างหน้ามองดูท้องฟ้าที่เริ่มถูกความมืดกลืนกินด้วยความสนใจ "แล้วเราจะเห็นปรากฏการณ์นั้นได้ตอนกี่โมงอะดื้อ" "ตามที่ข่าวบอก เราจะเห็นกันช่วงหัวค่ำ กินเวลาไม่นาน" "งั้นก็ต้องจับตาดูให้ดี" "ใช่ แต่ปืนจ๋า ช่วยพาเค้าไปส่งที่หอเลยได้ไหมอะ เค้าไม่อยากแวะที่ไหนอีกแล้ว" เสียงอ้อนอ่อนหวานเรียกปืนจ๋าของสาวตาใสแจ๋วและปากจู๋ ๆ ของเธอเรียกรอยยิ้มจากผม อดใจไม่ไหวต้องยื่นมือออกไปประคองซีกแก้มเนียนนุ่มไม่ต่างจากผิวเด็กทารกแรกเกิด ผมเกลี่ยคลึงเบา ๆ ด้วยปลายนิ้วหัวแม่มือ เล่นนุ่มนิ่มซะขนาดนี้จะไม่ให้อยากทะนุถนอมได้ยังไง "แต่ปืนยังไม่อยากแยกกับดื้อเลย ทำไงดีล่ะ" ผมพูดเสียงเบา ก้มหน้าลงไล้ปลายจมูกเชิดรั้นอย่างหยอกล้อ ขณะเดียวกันก็ซึมซับกลิ่นหอมอ่อน ๆ จากร่างบางไปด้วย พอได้ใช้เวลาอยู่ด้วยกันผมก็เกิดความโลภ อยากยืดเวลาออกไปอีก อยากให้วันนึงมีมากกว่า 24 ชั่วโมงด้วยซ้ำ

Every decade, Valen Academy opens five seats to human outsiders. Nobody questions why. Nobody asks what happens to the ones who never come home. Zara Voss has spent three years engineering her acceptance into the most secretive werewolf academy in the country. She's not here for the education. She's not here to survive the social hierarchy. She's here because her sister Lena was one of the five ten years ago and never came back. What she doesn't expect is Caius Vane. The Alpha heir is controlled, precise, and carrying a truth so heavy it has bent the shape of him. He notices Zara the way you notice a lit match in a dark room with equal parts fascination and dread. She doesn't perform for him. She doesn't adjust herself around his authority. And she is getting dangerously close to the one secret that could unravel everything his bloodline was built to protect. The closer she gets to the truth, the closer she gets to him. And in Valen Academy, both things will cost her. Some doors are sealed for a reason. Zara Voss was never very good at leaving them closed.

Bukan kisah cinta yang berawal bahagia lantas terluka. Tapi kisah lara tentang orang tua yang amat ambisius mengejar harapan yang nyaris menyakiti perasaan. Berbagai siloka menjadi jalan cerita, berbagai diksi menjadi arti hidup ini. Berbagai lantunan sendu menjadi tangis amat pilu. Caci-maki yang selalu mengintai seakan-akan menyangkal bahwa ia tidak boleh bahagia. Meninggalkan kisah lara penuh kata penyesalan. "Ayah hidup itu tidak harus tentang nilai yang bagus. Tapi tentang seseorang yang menyayangi dengan tulus." "Ibu pintar itu tidak harus menguasai semua bidang. Satu bidang saja, jika sudah mengerti dengan perasaan orang lain, ia bukan sekedar pintar tapi jenius." "Kak pintar itu tidak harus punya piala. Sekedar mendekap lantas menyeka air mata, ia sudah pintar menghilangkan lara kita." "Aira, kamu memang berbeda tapi perbedaan itu terletak pada keistimewaan yang kamu punya. Di mana orang lain tidak memiliki itu semua. Kakak sayang kamu selamanya." "Kenapa Aira selalu dibentak ayah sama ibu? Sedangkan kak Ayu dan kak Andi gak pernah!" "Otakmu itu kecil. Berpikir pun lambat." "Ibu malu punya anak seperti kamu!" "Kakak sayang sama kamu. Kakak janji gak akan ninggalin kamu." "Kak Aira pergi sesuai permintaan kalian. Selamat tinggal." "Aira, kenapa kala itu kamu gak mengucapkan sampai jumpa lagi? Dan mungkin sekarang kita masih saling memeluk bukan menangisi kamu." "Yang sudah kamu dapat sudah seharusnya kamu dekap dengan erat."
