Theatricals
Ep. 17 - Trapped in an Elevator

“Del?”

Edelweis instantly closed his eyes as the elevator lights twitched. The dark atmosphere as well as the fear he felt at this time, again made him remember the mass events he had experienced. Bad memory just flashed through his mind like a broken cassette that continued to spin endlessly. No doubt, tears have washed his face now.

“Del, how to cry?” jonathan asked, Edelweis just crying. And, the grip of the woman in his hand was getting stronger.

Edelweis sobbing, “Jo, when is the flame anyway? I'm really scared. It's so tight, Jo. Dark too. I was tight.” said Edelweis, he was crying more and more.

Jonathan frowned confusedly. These lifts are large, quite a lot of people. And, if there were only the two of them, it was certain that the narrow would not happen. It's broad just for the two of them. Dark, dark matter where do you try? Although the elevator lights are flickering, but the light is still there, dimmer more precisely.

Jonathan remembered that night. At the same time Edelweis was terrified just because of the room lights he had turned off. It seems, Edelweis does have its own trauma with the darkness.

“Del, open your eyes. It's not dark, there's light. Open your eyes lo.”

Edelweis shook his head, tears had washed his face and he did not care about it. “No, no, I'm scared. It's dark.”

“No, it's not dark. Open your eyes now! Edel!”

Slowly Edelweis' eyes opened, but he closed his eyes again as he felt the light he needed was lacking. He clutched Jonathan's hand.

“No, no, still dark. Buruan, Jo call your people! Tell him this is the elevator. I'm scared..”

“Udah, Del, already. I called the guy, again in this. Lo is patient. Anyway, you don't cry, later you get crowded again.”

“Gue scared,”

Jonathan pulls out his phone again, coinciding with it there's an incoming call from his guy.

“Halo, how?”

“Iya, sir. I brought the technician and it will be repaired. There may be technical errors, so it may take a lot of time. So, sorry later you might be stuck in the elevator long enough. Gakpapa, sir?”

“Yes, how else. Immediately the acceleration of the repair.”

“Good, sir. I'm sorry, sir. Who was the father with?”

There's CCTV in this elevator, so it's only natural that the person knows someone is with him. “Edel,”

“Good, sir. We will speed up the process.”

“Ya.”

“Where, Jo?”

“Still fixed and may take a lot of time. So,—”

“Means we stuck here a long time ago, Jo? Yes, so?” edelweis asked worriedly who got deheman from Jonathan. She immediately tightened her grip on the man, she was so scared. And, Jonathan's the only hope this time.

“Gue is sore and willing to sit down, so take off your hands lo.”

“Miss.”

Jonathan sighed harshly, letting Edelweis clutch his arm. This elevator repair is quite time consuming and it seems like sitting down is the right choice. Jonathan sat down Lesehan, straightening his legs while his legs were bent. Even so with Edelweis who sat down slowly still with eyes closed and tears that still dripped down.

“Udah, Del. Stop crying, dizziness I hear it.”

“Lo don't know what I love, Jo! It's dark, cramped and makes me feel sick. How could I not try!”

Jonathan pulled his phone back out, he turned on the flashlight from his phone which instantly made the room brighter than ever.

“Open your eyes, this is already bright.”

“No, it was still dark.”

“Open, Edel!”

Because of Jonathan's compulsion, Edelweis slowly opened his eyes. One thing he should be grateful for, Jonathan didn't lie about what he said before. This room is brighter than ever.

“Udah describe?”

Edelweis glanced at the light coming from Jonathan's phone. For a moment he stopped his crying, but did not remove the slightest grip of his hand from Jonathan.

“Udah right? Already bright. So, hand off lo.”

“Miss,”

“Udahlah, Del. This room is also not narrow, spacious for both of us. Also, I love this light. Go ahead, take my hand.”

“Miss, Jo. Don't wanna. Anyway, very stingy. Just a hand pinjem just don't want. I also do not say anything about this, already anyway.”

“Stone!”

“Stupid highly!”

Edelweis did not care how hard Jonathan asked him to release the man's hand that was in his grip, even now it was in his arms. He's not gonna let go of that guy's hand. The deep trauma of the room was narrow and dark, making him afraid of the item for a second to release his grip.

“Jo, dark again.”

“Battery mobile phone I abis, use mobile phone lo.”

Edelweis soon reached into his bag, looking for the whereabouts of his cell phone but never found it. One by one Jonathan took out his goods to find the smart thing, but nil. Edelweis's phone doesn't exist.

“Handphone lo where?”

“Gue had no idea,” Edelweis fell silent, remembering where he last used his phone. “Ah, it missed in my drawer.”

Jonathan clucked, "Crackdown.”

Edelweis pursed his lips. “How are you, Jo? It's dark again.”

“Yaudah, how else. We don't have anything that could be light. Just wait until the elevator is done.”

“If not done.”

“Gue fire it all, not so good at work.”

“But, Jo. It's dark.”

Jonathan again clucked in annoyance, he twisted his eyes. “Dark, dark mulu. Dizziness I heard it.”

Edelweis immediately elbowed Jonathan, making the man instantly grimace softly. “Lo didn't know so I did anyway. How it feels to be in that dark, narrow room. Suck, Jo. A second here tuh!” Edelweis almost cried again, but he held on. He was already weak enough in front of Jonathan, not wanting to be considered any weaker.

“Dengerin me! If you have your own trauma, try thinking about it again. How can you survive in lo.” trauma

“Lo is easy! You don't know!”

“Try, relax yourself lo. Think of the positive things that have happened the same. Close your eyes for a moment and try again to open them. Bayangin, if this place is not dark at all, there is light, this place is bright. Bayangin..”.

If Edelweis would normally refuse Jonathan's orders, but this time he obeyed what the man had said. One by one Jonathan suggested, Edelweis did. It turns out there was a little calm.

Jonathan, who saw Edelweis a little calmer, smiled faintly. Not because of anything, but because he was happy to be a little free from the grip of Edelweis' hands are quite strong in his arms.

Not felt, almost an hour they were locked in this elevator. All aid has been deployed, but there has been no sign the elevator will return to normal operation. In fact, a little gap in the elevator door had been opened by the officers to remove Jonathan and Edelweis who were still trapped there.

“Jo, haus.” said Edelweis limp, it feels all his energy drained in vain. He doesn't even know how it's shaped right now.

“No drinking, Del.”

“But, so thirsty.”

Jonathan stood up, the top of which was deliberately hollowed out so that oxygen remained in was also being tried for an alternative road later if the elevator door could not open.

“Feb, I ask for drinking water please.”

“Good, sir. Immediately I bring.”

Soon, Jonathan's men give a bottle of mineral water through the gap by being thrown and immediately captured by Jonathan.

Jonathan went back to Edelweis, handing over the bottle of mineral water he had opened. “Nih, drink.” says Jonathan.

Edelweis accepted it, he immediately gulped down the water. It seemed, the thirst that he was enduring was already complete. “Lo, don't want Jo?” edelweis asked, pointing to the drinking water.

Jonathan did not reply, he simply took the bottle back and straightened the contents without touching the lip of the bottle. This could not be separated from the vision of Edelweis, the woman noticed clearly what Jonathan did.

“Jo, is it still a while?”

“Gue don't know, Del.”

Edelweis let out a rough sigh, he leaned back his body limply. Minutes by minutes passed just like that, feeling weak and tired was mixed, plus time was getting late. Unknowingly, Edelweis closed his eyes.

Jonathan glanced at Edelweis who dropped his head on his shoulders, the woman asleep. In the lyrics Edelweis, the woman wore work clothes with a skirt over the thigh so that the legs level with high heels were clearly displayed.

Jonathan sighed harshly, he raised the soft head of Edelweis leaning on his shoulder. Then, he took off the coat that was lining his shirt, then put the suit on Edelweis' thigh. Not bad, at least the legs of the woman were not too clearly displayed.

Waiting for elevator repairs turned out to take a lot of time, even almost an hour they were stuck here. Until finally the time arrived, the elevator was almost open after being forced open by many people. And, it is certain that currently there are many people crowded in front of the elevator.

“Del, wake. The elevator is open.”

Edelweis opened his eyes slowly, he saw a suit covering his legs. In the face of Jonathan and it turns out the suit belongs to the man. A meaningful gaze was clearly implied in the eyes of Edelweis.

“Buruan wake up, the elevator already wants to open.”

Jonathan stood up first, he couldn't wait to get out of the right place Edelweis said. Plus, he has to be alone with Edelweis in it.

Another case with Edelweis who is still trying to stand, he limp plus his head feels dizzy once.

Just before the elevator opened, Edelweis called Jonathan and as his hand reached the man's hand, his body fell unconscious. Luckily Jonathan quickly caught the body of Edelweis and Edelweis fell unconscious in Jonathan's arms. It was also not separated from the gaze of everyone who happened to be at that time the elevator was wide open.
