Booktok Fest

Benda. Apa yang terbesit pertama kali di kepala kita saat mendengar kata benda? Bukankah benda hanya benda. Tetapi katanya benda mampu menyimpan kenangan. Katanya benda juga mampu merasakan dan mentransfer energi akan ingatan kepada orang lain. Pernahkah kalian merasakan kekosongan aneh saat berada di dekat suatu benda? Atau pernahkah kalian secara tidak sadar mendengar benda berbisik di telinga? Jika tidak kalian beruntung. Sebab aku terlahir bersahabat dengan benda. "Ia sering terpuruk sendirian. Tak ada yang peduli. Tak ada yang sadar. Kami menjadi saksi bisu rasa sakitnya." Lemari itu membisikkan kalimat penuh penderitaan padaku. Seolah-olah ia merasakan apa yang dirasakan pemilik kamar ini. "Ia tidak pernah bahagia sekalipun hidup di rumah ini. Kebahagiaannya hanya satu. Saat kamu datang dan merangkulnya pagi itu." Gagang pintu yang kusentuh tanpa diminta bercerita. Aku hanya laki-laki bisa. "Rio, jangan menyalahkan diri sendiri." Begitu ucap mereka. Hingga suatu harii aku terjebak di jalan berkelok yang seharusnya tak pernah ku lalui. Hari itu sabtu malam yang kelam dan aku berhasil menemukan jalan masuk. Festival yang tak pernah kulihat dimanapun. Pesta kembang api pertama dalam hidupku. Lalu kejanggalan apa ini? Tidak ada habis-habisnya. Hari terus berganti. Namun mereka tak pernah berhenti. Dalam hati aku bertekad aku harus keluar dari tempat ini. Akankah benda-benda ini mampu membantuku keluar dari kurungan tak berujung ini? Atau aku malah akan terus terperangkap? Sial. Kembang api pertama dalam hidupku malah mengakhiri segalanya. Hidup, keluarga bahkan cinta pertamaku.

Ironically, the guy she falls for is bound by a promise to another girl. After all the hardships she has gone through, will she let him go to protect her heart from breaking? Or, will she fight for her love this time, taking all the risks of getting hurt once again?

"If staying in prison is too harsh, warming my bed should be better, right?" He whispered into my ears, his eyes burning and his tone husky. With a push, I landed on his bed, my body shaking violently under his burning gaze, "For a filthy whore, fucking you gently isn't a punishment so I've prepared some things for you," Xavier bent over, revealing his perfect set of abs and his strong abdominal muscles. He grabbed my chin and forced my head up, showing me sets of sex toys he had prepared for me. "Shout for me, slut!" "Scream, Whore," Slowly but steadily, I became Xavier's bed warmer and sex toy...
