The Smell of Bookstore
I don’t know is it just me or everybody feel the same. Bookstore
just have that kind of smell. The small that so relaxing and make you want to
jump into those full of books sea.
Yesterday I bought my monthly needs in Detos. Just to kill the time, I
visit a bookstore, I know I’m about to broke. But, I just can’t help myself to
not visit the bookstore.
I promised myself to do not buy any.
Yea.
I wouldn’t buy any.
But
But
Even my heart doubted my own self. I put 60k in my pocket,
whispering: Just in worst case scenario, If I can’t help myself to do not buy
any. I would just buy something below 60k
So I stepped myself in
At the front, I saw Boy Chandra’s book. That was his 7th
or 8th book. Well, it amazed me. It was when he about to publish his
first book (Origami Hati) when we met. When I was a reporter for a local
newspaper. But look, now he’s a star. He got his 7th, and, damn, it
makes me wondering: What have I done all this time? I keep wondering I’m going
to publish my very own book but, ah---
What a shame.
So I continued to see another book, and it was like:
“OMFG its look interesting”
“Oh shit no way this is what I’m looking for”
“Oh I really curious how great this one”
“Ohmy, I always wanted to buy this one”
And that was how it gone
It was a really tough decision which one to buy
But then
I saw this book. And yea, I fell for that:”)
The price tag showing 85k
Its upper than my budget at the very beginning
But,
Yea
I Can’t help my self
Then I told my heart it’s Okay, Habiburrahman El Shirazy will not disappoint
us, right?
I decide to buy this. My head did the math. I’ll buy 6 GB internet
quota instead of 10 GB as I used to. So the money that I used to buy packet data
would go for this book instead.
It’s okay. It’s Okay. Smart decision, Fira. You won’t have a lot of
time to browse. You have a book to read.
I cheered myself.
Well yea
I just fall quite often in bookstore. :”)
