A Life From AI

Human Girl

'Looks, you were ... human, huh?'

"What does that mean?" thought Afra was trying to digest the question people were asking in her dream. Those words continued to appear in his mind.

And also, the thing that makes Afra even more confused and curious is who exactly that person is. In fact, when the man said the strange question to Afra, Afra did not remember clearly the voice of the man. Only his words continued to appear in his mind.

Now Afra is still sitting leaning on her bed because she still feels a little dizzy. His body also felt a little sore and hard to move.

"Do I, you have to tell Dad?" thought Afra as she stared at the door of her room. The door to his room that he never opened.

In fact, he never remembered the last time he came out of his room because of his own door. The door of his room was really considered as a barrier for him to get out. Like a bird cage that can only be opened from the outside and cannot be opened from the inside, let alone touched. A cage that makes itself feel no freedom.

Afra shook her head. It was impossible for him to say that to his father. Will dad listen to me? Why should I tell him? Inner Afra.

"I'd better sleep again—" muttered Afra as she laid her body on her mattress, but suddenly her stomach rang. Afra chuckled as she realized she had not eaten in the morning.

Afra got up from her bed and looked at the window. The sunlight seems to have started to set. A breeze blew into Afra's room. Afra did not think she could sleep until dusk.

Crew

Afra's stomach was ringing again. It was clear that he was really hungry. How not hungry? Since the morning only saw the view outside his room and did not want to go out of the room. He could not even remember whether his father had offered to eat.

"It seems like I have to eat now" Afra muttered as she turned towards her bedroom door, but at once Afra's gaze was immediately stopped by the food that was already on the table. The table is next to his bed, to be exact to his right now.

Afra was surprised that there was no food on her table. Afra then approached and saw the food on her desk closer. There's a piece of paper with writing on it.

" 'Afra dear, forgive me for not allowing you to leave the house. I have my own reasons for not letting you out. It's also for your good, for our good. But I understand what you want. Tomorrow I'll give you a present instead, huh? Today I'm more worried because your sleep is too long so I forget to eat. It's dad's fault too. I've prepared food for you at the table. I promise I'll let you out tomorrow.

I'll be a good father to you, Afra my son.' "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah, he was full" said Afra, laying her body on her bed. Afra then glanced towards his dinner plate made of wood, or rather to the piece of paper next to him.

Afra looked at the paper with a sharp look. Continue and continue to look at it and pay close attention. Afra immediately took her eyes off the paper and lay down on her back to the dinner plate and the piece of paper on the table where Afra always ate. Yes, since Afra had the desire to leave the house, Afra became afraid to leave her room so she always ate in her room.

"What ... will you keep your promise?" muttered Afra to himself. Afra shook her head quickly and looked up at the ceiling.

"Ah, stop! I don't want to think about it anymore! I don't want to care about that anymore!" afra lamented loudly and lay back to face her dining table, with her gaze pointing to her bedroom window.

The sun had completely set, and the night sky was already clearly visible outside the window. Nothing looks beautiful at night. Only dark black is visible. Only the moonlight was seen shining in the darkness of the night, and also the lamp of his room whose light was not as bright as the moonlight.

Afra suddenly shed her tears. Although he felt a little upset because his father never let him out, but he also felt sad. Somehow ... Afra suddenly felt sad and wanted to keep crying. He felt guilty for always saying the same thing to his father. Things that his father could not have granted.

"Here it is, I don't want to think about it anymore" Afra muttered as she pulled the blanket over her entire body. Tears still dripped out of Afra's eyes, though she tried not to cry.

Hicks .

"Why ... Why, Dad? Why can't I go out?" afra's moans were interrupted by her cries. Afra really could not hold back her crying anymore. The sound of crying could be heard from outside the room.

Yes, the sound of Afra's cry has been heard in the ears of the father. The father was sitting leaning against the door of Afra's room. His father had actually heard all of Afra's words before. His father could only remain silent while lowering his head.

"Forgive your father this, Afra," muttered the father softly, "the father will keep his promise this time."

The father got up and went away from Afra's room. The father did not realize that Afra had heard his words. His voice could still be heard by Afra clearly, even though his father was mumbling.

"As far as you are!" afra said softly while wiping away her tears that had soaked her face.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

That life goes on. It doesn't matter if fate never changes. No one knows what will happen next. Like a bird confined in a cage, and never knowing about the outside world. He can only chirp and hope .. to be able to fly freely in space.

The moonlight grew brighter, but dark clouds began to cover the night and cover the stars. The sound of an owl sounds so scary. Elsewhere, fireflies can be seen flying and giving off their bright sparkling light. But behind it all ... always kept a secret that people do not know.

No, not people. But a living thing that cannot be called a human, even though his body looks like a human. And the creature looks to be in front of him right now. The creature then turned towards him and looked at him with a sad look.

"You ...really beautiful" said the person in a soft tone. But at once a grin was created on his lips, "until I .. wanted you, Afra!"
