Tabitha Suzuma: "Tertekan padanya, aku bisa merasakan detak jantungnya...

"Tertekan padanya, aku bisa merasakan detak jantungnya terhadap milikku, tulang rusuknya melebar dan berkontraksi dengan cepat di dadaku, bisikan napasnya yang hangat menggelitik sisi leherku, sikat kakinya di pahaku. Sambil meletakkan tangan di pundaknya, aku menarik sedikit untuk melihat wajahnya. Tapi dia tidak tersenyum lagi."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Pressed up against him, I can feel the thud of his heart against mine, his ribcase expanding and contracting rapidly against my chest, the warm whisper of his breath tickling the side of my neck, the brush of his leg against my thigh. Resting my arms on his shoulders, I pull back a little to get a look at his face. But he isn't smiling any more.
