as pemilik toko buku: @donghyuqck
khadafi abelvan! the kind of person you’ll find sitting behind the counter with a cup of warm coffee, flipping through an old poetry book like time’s not chasing him. pemilik dari
page & pause, a cozy little bookstore yang bau bukunya kayak pelukan. tenang, familiar, and somehow healing. tempat yang gak cuman jual buku, tapi juga jadi tempat orang-orang nyari tenang, atau nyari diri sendiri. gak banyak omong, tapi once you ask about books.. especially the ones that “feel like home” his eyes light up like the golden hour. tipe yang percaya kalau setiap orang punya satu buku yang bisa nyelamatin mereka di hari buruk. dan dia tuh inget detail kecil. kayak siapa yang suka genre coming-of-age, siapa yang baca pelan karena takut cerita selesai. kadang suka selipin notes kecil di antara halaman buku. kayak random quotes, secret thoughts, or just “hope this finds you when you need it.” buat dia, toko buku itu bukan sekadar tempat jualan, tapi ruang hidup. a quiet rebellion against the rush of the world. he reads people like he reads pages-slowly, gently, and with no rush. some people come for the books, some stay for the silence, but most come back because somehow,
page & pause feels like a soft place to land. just like its owner
