ISOLATED (Bracketed)
#Refusing to eat

"Hey, can I borrow your phone?" ask the waitress who ignored my words. Now, he was pouring water into a glass.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

He still did not answer. Not even at all. There's no way his sense of hearing is problematic, is it? If so, what a pity, he looks young.

"Can you speak Indonesia?" I asked who thought maybe this maid could not speak Indonesian.

The woman finally turned to me, making my heart happy for a moment. But then she faded the smile on my face as she shook her head.

"OK, don't worry, I can speak english" I said. (OK, don't worry, I speak English)

But then he shook his head, making me frown.

"You can't speak english?" (You don't speak English)

The woman shook her head again making me sigh long. Okay, questions can or can't be in English maybe basic questions, so he understands a little by answering nods and nods.

"Where are you from?" (Where are you coming from) I hope this question of mine she can understand. Because it's a basic question.

"Chinese."

I raised both my eyebrows. I don't speak Chinese. Really, how is this.

"Nixu chi, Mam." (You have to eat, Mom)

I initially did not understand what he was talking about but then he gestured by moving his hand in front of his mouth intending to tell me to eat.

I exhaled and shook my head in response.

I've dealt with all this, I'm lazy to talk to people who don't understand my language. Let's just say I'm a bird talking to a squirrel.

I chose to sleep on her back until she came out of the room. This time, I wanted to scold Rey for sending a servant who did not understand my language. How can I talk to them.

I fell asleep because I was really sleepy because I didn't sleep last night. I left my stomach empty.

Until I finally felt a soft hand on my face.

"Why haven't you eaten yet, Seira."

Without opening my eyes I knew whose voice it was. Yeah, he's Rey. The brother*t was home from work it turned out.

I don't know what time it is, how long I've slept. I just didn't open my eyes because I didn't want to see Rey.

"Tell me what you want to eat, I'll make it for you myself, Seira. Please, eat something." (Eat something)

Just let him speak until it froths, I don't want to answer or open my eyes.

"I know you're awake." (I know you're up)

"Talk to me, Seira." (Speak to me) "I love hearing your voice."

I felt him sitting next to me, even though I was sleeping behind him.

I don't know how long the atmosphere suddenly became silent. He didn't talk anymore after sitting on the bedside, I thought he wasn't in the room.

I tried to open my eyes slowly and turned my head, it turned out that Rey was still beside me, she just sat there and kept looking at me. I clucked and closed my eyes again.

"If you don't want to talk to me .." (if you don't want to talk to me)

"I won't stop looking at you."

I still closed my eyes even though I wasn't sleeping, there was nothing I heard in this room other than my own heartbeat. I still feel Rey sitting on the edge of the bed, but whether or not she keeps looking at me, I don't know.

I opened my eyes just to see Rey. And it turns out he really didn't stop looking at me. His face was flat, his gaze was piercing, I was a bit goosebumps, moreover he just remained silent without making a sound.

"I want to know about my family" I said suddenly. "They must be very worried."

"They've called the police" Rey said.

I woke up and sat staring at Rey. "really? The police will track me down?"

Rey smiled at him. "Yes." Yeah."

"Why are you smiling? Shouldn't you be afraid that my family has reported this kidnapping!"

"This is not a kidnapping. I saved you from the guy who almost raped you*Seira. After all, the police will never come to my house, Seira."

"Why? Because you're in power?"

"Yes, that's one of them" Rey said.

"If you weren't in the De Willson clan, you might just be a market thug! Your evil attitude fits into a market thug!"

"If you weren't Seira Borbone, maybe you wouldn't be here. Because all I want is the daughter of the Borbone group."

He smiled after saying that, my remark that said he was more suitable to be a market thug turned out not to make him angry.

He replied with a sentence that made me think straight away. Right, if I wasn't the daughter of the owner of the Borbone group, I might not be the one Rey is now locked up in this mansion.

But, what's the real reason? Really, if he just says he wants me, it's just a prank from his dirty mouth.

"You better eat, Seira. Don't make yourself die for nothing."

"I don't want to die. But if you stay locked up with you here, you might find me a major in this room!"

"That's not gonna happen. If you don't want to eat, I'll inject nutrients into your body."

"Crazy! Crazy man!" I growled with anger. "Just do it if you can!"

I went back to sleep with my back to him, I didn't want to talk to Rey who was just wasting my energy. Because honestly, I'm actually really hungry. But I want to go on a hunger strike to get out of this house.

What a starving person like me does other than force myself to sleep so as not to feel his hunger anymore.

Yes, I went back to sleep on an empty stomach. It was hard, but I forced myself to close my eyes by sleeping curled up, my knees even touching my stomach to suppress the pain because of my empty stomach.

Until I felt something cold touch my arm and a split second later I felt my arm as if it had been pierced by something.

I opened my eyes and turned weakly, and Rey injected something in my upper arm.

"It's a vitamin, a food substitute that doesn't get into your body."

I want to be angry, but I'm not strong because I'm really weak. I just took a deep breath by closing my eyes.

"You won't lose the nutrients in your body, Seira. But you will continue to feel weak if you do not eat. I'm just helping you to stay alive."

I want to throw a dagger in his mouth. Help me stay alive, he said? Hey, I almost died because of it myself. Doesn't he realize that?
