ISOLATED (Bracketed)
#In the engagement party


"Of course you say I'm beautiful because yesterday I looked so ugly and you didn't tell me!" I was angry with fiery anger.


"Seira, what's wrong .." she was about to touch my face and I immediately brushed it off.


"My face is so ugly, everyone sees it but doesn't dare to say it. Including you, Rey!"


"You're not ugly, Seira .." he said softly. "You are the most beautiful." (You're so pretty)


"Even my body is so thin, don't you see that!" my hardik.


"You're thin because you're hard to eat."


"I'm skinny because you locked me up here, bedeb*h!"


"Seira, don't abuse me. You know, I really hate that!" hisses with a wrinkled forehead. I know she's getting upset because I call her bedeb*h but that's a good word for her.


"And you know, I really hate how I look now!"


Rey took a deep breath trying to neutralize her anger.


"Your looks can be changed, Seira. You can take care and eat a lot. But most importantly, you should try to accept me."


I understand, no matter how much I eat and care whatever I do, if I'm still stressed, everything will be in vain.


But my stressor every day is right in front of me now. How can I avoid it.


"We have to go right now, Seira ..." (we have to go now, Seira ..)


He said with a smile while pinching my cheek slowly. He tried to seduce me who was angry, I know.


I clucked and walked past him out of the room. He followed me from behind.


We docked at the dock as usual. Though this dock I didn't leave long ago when Elena took me on a cruise ship now I'm back at this dock again. What I expected was that I would arrive at Elena Island.


Rey and I got in the car. Along the way he kept holding my hand, maybe he was afraid that I might actually run away. I just turned my eyes out the window and kept trying to let go of Rey's hand, even if it was hard.


I'd love to hurry up to the party and see how many people I can ask for help to get away from Rey.


We get to a fancy hotel, Rey and I get out of the car. Rey skirted the car just to get my hand. He really doesn't want to be away from me. I'm just clucking.


We went into the hotel, I sighed, hopefully my hope was realized, hopefully I can get away from Rey.


When I came in I saw a lot of people, mostly Turkish. I don't speak Turkish so I have to be smart to find those who speak English.


My eyes stopped on the figure I recognized. Elena, she looked at me with her eyebrows furrowed. I know what he's thinking, maybe he's surprised I'm suddenly at this party.


Elena, I failed ...


I speak in my heart.


"Grabble."


"Grabble."


A man greeted Rey and Rey returned the man's greeting. While I was still standing next to Rey by continuing to circulate my gaze, asking Elena for more help was unlikely to work because I was a little suspicious if Elena said I ran away to Rey until she could catch up to the sea.


I will try to ask others for help but I can still hear their conversation even though I do not understand what they are discussing.


"Nasillian?"


"Yeah" Rey said.


I snorted rudely, not knowing what they were talking about. But suddenly Rey pulled my waist out of me in shock.


"Bu benim sevgim," said Rey who I myself do not know what it means.


I looked towards Rey. "What did you say?"


"I'm introducing you as my love" whispered Rey to make my eyes widen perfectly.


As I was about to receive his hand, Rey shook the man's hand first.


"Mustafa, it's milmene gerek yok!" (Mustafa, you don't need to know his name!"


I don't know what else Rey said, but from the look in her eyes she didn't like it when Mustafa was about to shake hands with me.


"Sir Rey ..."


Elena suddenly came to make us all turn to her and Mustafa chose to stay away from us, probably because he did not like Rey's unfriendly attitude.


"You want to help her escape again, Elena?" spray Rey without saying anything to Elena.


Elena turned her head towards me for a moment, her mouth moving but making no sound. It seems like he was nervous because of the intimidating look from his brother.


"I-i ..."


"That was my idea!"


I don't want Elena to be blamed. And it seems I was the one who suspected Elena of leaking my departure to Rey that it seemed like my guess was wrong. Elena looks scared of her brother now.


"I'm sorry sister" said Elena.


Rey breathed. "You know you don't like people who like to interfere. Big brother just asked you to be Seira's chatting friend. That's all!"


"I told you, it was my idea! Don't blame Elena!" hardikku upset. Rey's habit is very difficult to digest my words well, still she blames Elena.


"And you." Rey looked at me. "Don't come up with an idea that threatens the lives of others!"


Elena looked at me and Rey in turns.


"Threatening who?" ask Elena.


"Nani," I said slowly making Elena widen her eyes.


"Sister, that Nani is working with me. Brother don't want to involve my people to be a threat!"


"Nani works with you but who pays Nani?" ask Rey.


"K-kakak .." said Elena slowly made the tip of Rey's lips pulled upwards.


It's worth it when at Elena's house, Nani looks not awkward anymore.


Rey really didn't give me the slightest chance to get away from her. Even when I said I wanted to go to the bathroom, Rey said she'd take me. He's a completely insane human being.


And Elena, she's been cool in joining the others. As I kept looking at her, Elena seemed to know I was asking for help and she shook her head in response to her not helping me anymore.


And again, where is Mr. Reagan. Why Rey's parents aren't here. I still remember Rey's mother's face, even though I only saw her once in the magazine that day.


But his parents are not here. Maybe they are in Indonesia.


"You want to eat?" (Want to eat?)


I shook my head.


"You like cake, Seira? Or salads?" (You like cake, Seira? Or salad?)


I shook my head again and Rey offered me another meal. Again I shook my head every time Rey offered me food and drinks at the party.


Had Rey offered me someone who could help me escape from her, I would have nodded my head earlier. But it's impossible.


"What about kebab? You likey?"


"I said I didn't want to! Stop offering me food. Eat it yourself when you're hungry!"


Rey just sighed at my babbling.
