I HATE (Love) U
Just a dream, right?

Darkened.

The first thought that flashed through his mind. He reached out his hand, grabbing whatever was in front of him.

"empty" he said as he felt nothing.

Her beautiful eyes surrounded around, observing in hopes of finding a speck of light that could illuminate. But all that is gained is emptiness and darkness.

"This ... where?"

Only silence answered. There was really no sound other than her lips. Even his heartbeat was not heard.

Dark, empty and silent. Surprisingly, he was not afraid.

The silhouette of the white shadow flashed quickly. He blinked his eyes repeatedly.

"Who?"

Again the silence answered him.

The white shadow reappeared at a great distance. He narrowed his eyes, then faintly the shadow formed something.

He formed three important people in his life. Papa, Mama and her sister named Iva.

Itta's eyes widened instantly. A drop of running water fell from his eye patch. His hands stretched out like he was about to reach for something. His feet, which had been silent, were now running fast.

Tears are constantly falling. The feeling of tightness and relief was stirred incoherently.

As soon as possible, Itta hugged his family. Cry broke. He sobs.

"Ma ... Pa ... Iva ...."

Itta's crying is getting louder. However, he was happy to know his family was okay. He could not imagine what his life would be like if all his family died tragically.

"I know you're alive. I know that it was just a dream. I knew you would never leave me alone. Aren't we?"

Itta's face looked up, staring at Papa, Mama and Iva's faces expectantly. However, what was obtained was not in accordance with his expectations. They did smile, but their faces slowly blurred until they finally disappeared completely.

Itta's eyes instantly changed in one second. He sculpted. His entire soul felt empty in another sense.

"Papa?" call lirih.

There's no answer.

Itta bit her lips hard, trying to eliminate the feeling of tightness that returned to spread.

"Ma?"

Still no one answered.

Itta increasingly bit her lips until unwittingly removing the liquid blood.

"Your mother?"

Still same. For the first time, Itta felt an overwhelming fear.

"Ma, Pa, Iva, where are you?!" his cry asked the lifeless empty space.

The noise greeted Itta's sense of hearing. Then, he looked back. Itta's eyes caught the figure of his family at the other end waving with a grin. Soon he may run away in disobedience.

The invisible boundary blocked his steps. Itta moved in panic. Meanwhile, those on the other end just looked at Itta, not intending to help in the least.

Something was forming around his parents and brother.

Family room!

It was the living room, a place where a great deal of warmth Itta had obtained.

Itta's eyes closed for a moment, wanting to feel the warmth of the family again by remembering the moment. As his eyes opened, Itta's body was made to freeze by the horrifying sight before him.

Both her parents were covered in blood, and her sister. This scene was just like the one he had seen.

Itta's knees were squeezed, he was sitting on the floor. His breath was choked and a sense of tightness gnawed at his heart unbearably.

"DON'TKKK!!!!!!!"

Itta shouted loudly. His head was hit hard, hoping the pain torn from his heart moved.

"IT'S A DREAM! THIS MUST BE A DREAM!!!"

"I'M SURE THIS IS JUST A DREAM!!"

"WHOEVER PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS IS ALL A DREAM! WHAT A BAD DREAM!!"

"MA! PA! TELL ME IT'S A DREAM!"

No matter how much he screamed, no matter how much he asked, no one answered him.

Itta felt her life was really over.

...----------------...

His eyes opened suddenly. The girl's breath was blocked. The water grains slide past the cheeks.

"Dreams?" tanyanya herself.

Itta wiped away the tears violently.

"YARRGGGHHHH!!!!!"

The distinctive voice of a woman attracts her attention.

"AARRGGGHHH SICK, MOTHERFUCKER!!"

Itta saw a woman wearing a blue dress being whipped repeatedly by a handsome man, but with a terrible appearance. Beside the man, there were several people wearing suits. Their laughter boomed as if mocking the woman. Meanwhile, several other women were cowering in fear while sobbing.

The man who did the whip laughed the loudest of all, so enjoying the woman's pain.

He threw his original whip. His sturdy hand gripped tightly against the woman's chin. He grins.

"Look! You should be grateful because this is not how much," he said. The man stood up, then faced his men. "You can 'enjoy' this woman as you please. Consider it a bonus."

Suddenly, the woman stiffened immediately. He bit his lips hard.

"Basic bastard!!!" his yell.

"Indeed," the man replied casually. "Wait for what else? You don't want this woman? Quickly drag this woman out!"

"Ready Mr. Eric!"

The poor woman thrashed when the men in suits took her away. Anyone would understand the meaning of the word 'enjoy' spoken by a man named Eric.

"BEAST! THAT SCOUNDREL! YOU REALLY AREN'T HUMAN!!!"

The curse made Eric smile more and more, as if that reaction was what he wanted.

"It's just a light punishment, if any one of you tries to escape again, the punishment will be more terrible than this."

Eric stepped away, but before that somehow Itta felt that the man had glanced at him for a moment.

Eric's sentence adds fear to everyone, including Itta. Although not fully understood, Itta can still conclude that the situation he is experiencing now is not a good thing.

"Mama .. I'm scared."

Itta. A soft tone that did not belong to anyone, reminded him of the harsh reality, that his beloved family had been tragically killed.

Itta's head shook. Take that reality.

"It must be a dream. The reason I'm in this unknown place is because I'm still dreaming. Mama, Papa and Iva are also definitely still alive."

...----------------...

Itta's eyes are open. He got up from his sleep and looked around. The woman breathed a heavy sigh.

"Still the same," his monologue.

Itta's been living here for a few days. Every time he opened his eyes, he wished he was in his house. However, this dream is not finished.

Itta's eyes accidentally caught the figure of a beautiful woman who was curled up while sobbing small.

She was a woman in a blue dress who was whipped a few days ago. Ever since the woman came back from her 'punishment', it was like she had lost her way. Neither did they clean themselves or eat. Constantly shut up, curling up and crying. That's all he did.

Someone came into this room distributing food, just like the days before. After that, he left without saying a word.

This food is not really worth consuming. From the color and smell alone it is clear that this is a stale food. Not infrequently there are also maggots there. However, they had no choice but to eat it.

This food is only distributed once a day. That's if those bastard men remember it.

"Today the maggots are many. I have no appetite" said one of the women.

"If you don't eat, you'll die. We don't know whether we're still feeding tomorrow or not."

The person next to him gave advice. The woman had to eat it even though it was heavy.

"HUKKK!!!!"

Someone spewed out his food. He coughed.

"I don't want to live like this! How long will this last?!" said it. Her tears were broken with a small sob.

Everyone in the room was silent. No one wants to live like this. Eating stale food, his body was rented as they pleased, and treated inferior to animals.

But what can they do?

The answer is that there is no.

There's nothing they can do. Fighting means suicide. And worse, if they fight back, then their pride will also be destroyed as badly as possible.
