Jessy was in her room alone. Want to get out but afraid to be a victim of crime again. In fact, this is the first day he left Fika to France.
"Huh ... It's wrong to want to be here or in Indonesia, my life is really sad," he murmured as he stared at the twilight sky on the balcony of his room.
His holiday was wasted. He should not have agreed to Fika's invitation and chose to keep working in the cafe to earn extra money. Instead of an effective vacation, it was even a pickpocketing. His life really feels shit.
While pondering, his eyes caught the figure of a child down there. The boy seemed to have trouble picking up his balloon stuck in a tree.
"Where are his parents? Pity the boy" said Jessy.
He kept watching the kids down there. With the twig he found, the boy tried to reach the balloon strap. Unfortunately, the boy's body was too short to reach him.
"Tumben below is quiet. Why is no one coming to help?" Jessy Gregetan saw the sight.
Jessy could not bear to see the boy face difficulties. He decided to get out of his room.
Jessy doesn't forget Fika's advice to keep her in the hotel. He only came out for a while, and still in the hotel area. He thought nothing would happen there.
Jessy approached the place the boy had just seen. Indeed the boy was on the side of the hotel far from the highway, so not too many people passed by. It was likely that the boy was chasing his balloon which flew up to the point of one of the branches.
Surprisingly, by the time he got there, the boy was no longer there. He looked around and there was nothing. The balloon is still there.
"That was a real boy or a ghost, huh?" Jessy scratched her own hair. He was really confused and a little creepy.
"Boss, it looks like this woman is in line with the client's will" said someone.
"You're right. Our customers want faces like him. He looks young."
"How about we just take it?"
"Don't linger, the time is up. We gotta hurry,"
Jessy was surprised by the arrival of two men from the warehouse not far from there. They spoke in English as if Jessy could not understand them.
"What do you want?" ask Jessy while stepping back.
The two people were a little surprised Jessy could understand their language.
Before Jessy could run, the two first gripped Jessy's hand tightly.
"Take me off! You're criminals, aren't you? Please ..." cried Jessy.
The two men swiftly pulled Jessy towards the quiet back. Jessy tried to wriggle for release while screaming for help.
"Shut up!"
One of them held a knife to Jessy's neck. Jessy was silent. It's true what Mark said, London is too dangerous for him.
"It's a criminal act. You can be punished" Jessy warned.
"Haha ... He is also good at using our language. He is also good at threatening people" said the person holding the knife.
"What do you want?" ask Jessy.
"Later you will know."
Jessy doesn't really understand where she's going. From the hotel where he stayed, he was taken by car to another place.
Arriving somewhere, he was forced to come down while being threatened with a knife. The place was full of beautiful women in sek si clothes. His hunch is getting no better.
The woman called madame walked out of her room. A woman in her 40s with a thick make-up appears to approach Jessy. He's been looking closely at Jessy's body.
"Where did you get him?"
"From hotel XXX, Madame. Looks like he's a newcomer."
The woman smiled happily at Jessy. "Sweet girl, you're so pretty. Tonight you will be my savior" he said.
"You mean what?" Jessy is still trying to let go of her self that continues to be held.
"This is the residence of Madame Giselle, the world's paradise for lonely rich men. You're lucky to be able to join us" he said.
Jessy had guessed what kind of place she was now. "I don't want to be a pela cur!" snapped Jessy. "This is called kidnapping! You've committed a criminal act!" objurgation.
Madame Giselle was slightly offended by Jessy's remarks. "Oh, I don't really care about the criminal stamp. But, are you going to be strong enough to get the nickname as a cheap woman?" threaten her. "For me it's so easy to make fake news that you've sold yourself at Madame Giselle's place for money. I'm gonna spread the news all the way to your country."
"Basar y'all crazy! What's my fault for having to come to this place?" Jessy really does not think she is a victim of kidnapping.
"Nothing, dear. You have nothing wrong. It's just, you have a beautiful face and in accordance with the wishes of our customers tonight. One of my bids ran away and I was so dizzy to find her. Lucky my two men met you," he said.
I want Jessy to laugh. His fate is more sad than yesterday. After the pickiness, now she will be used as a comfort woman.
"I don't want to be a pela cur. Please, madam, let me go. I just came to this city for a vacation" Jessy said.
"Gst ... Don't do it, honey. I'll die if I let you go tonight. You must obey, yes ... We won't hurt you if you obey." Madame Giselle's words sounded gentle yet horrible.
"Mrs ... Please ...." Jessy no longer knew what to do with her.
He can't possibly fight. Those two people alone still held it strong. Madame Giselle's men are many. It seems that the choice is only two: to die or to obey.
"Can't, honey. The time is getting narrower. Like it or not you have to obey" he said.
Jessy couldn't hold back her tears. Madame Giselle took her handkerchief and wiped the tears that had dripped down Jessy's cheek.
"Darling, you can't cry. The client won't like a whiny woman."
Madame Giselle takes Jessy to her room and tells her men to stay away. They're just the two of them there.
"What's your name?" madame Giselle asked, holding her hand.
"Jessy," he replied slowly.
"Your name is good, dear" said Madame Giselle.
"You should know the rigors of life in this city. We have to be as determined as we can to survive any way we can to keep from getting killed, honey."
"One of the loyal customers of this place asked me to provide a woman for his friend. The criterion has a face like yours. He's an influential person. If I don't get the people he wants, I can be killed. Please Madame, Jessy," she said.
Jessy shakes.
"You have no choice, my dear. Unless you want to die," Madame said firmly.
"I promise, after tonight, you'll take me back to where you were. I'll give you a lot of money too. Just help me once. Accompanying a man one night is easy, you just close your eyes and everything is done."
"You must have been used to doing it with your girlfriend, right? I'll give you 10 minutes to calm down."
Madame Giselle patted Jessy on the shoulder before she walked out of her room.
