ISOLATED (Bracketed)
#I tried to escape

I was still curled up in bed until he climbed into my bed and laid himself in front of me. So we sleep facing each other.

"Eat, Seira." He caressed my cheek.

I just kept staring into his eyes, we were so close that again I could smell the mint scent from his body. I don't know, maybe mint's her favorite scent, every close to her I don't smell anything else.

"Think of your family, you still want to meet them, don't you?"

"You made me unable to meet them" I said in a weak voice.

"You'll see them again."

"When?"

"I can only promise you'll see them again. So eat, hm?" He kept stroking my face until his hand stroked my arm.

It's not just about family, I have a dream. My dream of working for a publishing company is so big, I don't want to die even though sometimes arguing with Rey always makes my brain want death.

Even as I daydreamed about all this, Rey was endlessly staring at me with her arms stroking my body. I don't know if it's stroking my head and then moving into my hands.

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

I nodded faintly and I saw Rey smiling faintly. The man woke up from his sleep and helped me wake up.

After I sat down leaning my back on the headboard, Rey picked up the food on the table, she was about to bribe me but I immediately grabbed the plate in her hand.

I can eat by myself, of course.

Rey just kept watching me eat. I just dropped my eyes on the plate, not staring at him at all. Let's just say he's not in the room.

Until I finish eating, I give the dirty dishes to Rey.

"I'll prepare you warm water."

He got out of bed and went to the bathroom. That bedeb*h didn't even ask me if I wanted to take a shower or not. He's got a lot of control over me.

My eyes shifted to the door. Rey's in the room, isn't the door locked? I was curious, I tried to get off the bed slowly, walking around in a fit of misgivings if Rey suddenly came out of the bathroom.

I turned the door knob slowly and suddenly I was astonished, it was true that this door was not locked.

I tried to get out of this room, my heart was pounding, I walked down the hall at a quick pace, occasionally looking back just to make sure Rey wasn't behind me.

The longer, the faster I move, until I run and end up hitting someone in front of me because I look back too often.

"Queen xiao, Mam?" (Where are you going, Mam?"

I stopped with a breath of breath while researching this old face in front of me. The old man who was gray.

"Can you speak English or Indonesian?" (Can you speak English or Indonesian?"

I was stupid to ask like that. If he can, he has spoken English or Indonesian from earlier. Not Mandarin.

He shook his head making me grunt violently. I had to be smart to lie to survive this old man who I was sure was one of Rey's subordinates who couldn't possibly help me.

"I want to go to bathroom." (I want to go to the bathroom)

My words are so basic that just a little kid I sure understand. This old man must have understood my words let alone I pretended to be holding back a pee.

I didn't understand his words but his hand pointed to the passage behind me. I can only guess maybe he was thinking why I went out if in my room there was also a bathroom.

"Rey, he is in the bathroom. I can't get into the bathroom." (Rey, he's in the bathroom. I can't go to the bathroom)

Look, we speak two different languages but we can understand each other because we speak with different gestures and facial expressions.

The old man nodded his head and his hands stretched out to the right side, as he walked I followed in his footsteps. Maybe he'll show me the bathroom.

Even though I don't intend to go to the bathroom for real. I had to follow the old man first so as not to suspect me.

He took me to the bathroom in the kitchen. I nodded and then went into the bathroom.

I just stayed in the bathroom restlessly and stuck my ear to the bathroom door. Trying to hear if the old man was in front of the bathroom or not. Was he waiting for me to come out or watching me in front?

But I didn't hear anything, wasn't she in front of the bathroom?

I began to open the door knob slowly with my heart pounding, if the old man stood in front of the bathroom door then failed already my escape plan.

And immediately I looked up when I saw the figure of a tall man standing in front of the bathroom with a flat face and hands across the chest.

Rey.

Why is the lady*t standing in front of the bathroom?

"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to go to the bathroom, Seira. You can go straight in instead of going to the bathroom in the kitchen."

I hid my surprised face. I cleared my throat and opened the door wide.

"You're in the bathroom, I can't get in."

"I don't care if you're alone in the bathroom."

Instantly I sprayed his eyes with my sharp gaze. How insolent of him, the madman smiled now.

"If there's a plan in your brain, don't expect it to work, Seira. Many guards and every exit were locked, so don't waste your energy doing the pointless thing. Go back to the room, you have to take a shower."

Relax, I can't be angry at what he said. I need to calm down, I'm sure one day I can get out of here. Although my faith is not very high, but I am sure God will help me escape from the confinement of this insane man.

I moved my legs in annoyance towards the room and he followed me from behind.

"Do something, don't keep following me!" I said to him who walks behind me.

"I'm doing something."

"Do what?" ask me a little bit without looking back.

"following you."

The bod*h, he said follow me including doing something? Can I get the brain out of his head? I mean doing something so as not to follow me, work for example. I'm really sick of being around me.

Rey stopped when I went into the bathroom slamming the door and now I don't know if she's waiting for me to take a shower or get out of the room.
