Jeremy.
Who is the person who has been with me all this time? I don't understand why he asked me about my life. About me who no longer had parents, my brother, and robbers in my house. I mean, is he just asking out of sympathy or just being curious? His attitude seemed to be hiding something from me.
Lately Jeremy has rarely interacted with me. I don't know why, but he seems to be careful. What I'm hiding, I don't know either. But in fact I feel a little relieved because of it.
The sound of the television I was watching became disturbed when a knock was heard at the front door and then followed by Jeremy who opened it.
"How are you Jeremy? Ughhhh... It's cold outside" complained the man. They walked and sat on the sofa not far from me. I saw them, it turned out that the man was the one who was carrying the girl's corpse in the basement.
"Sit down here! I'll make you drink!" jeremy left and I tried not to care about them. Actually I was really curious where they took the girl's body. Did you bury it or throw it away? I shook my head then refocused on the screen in front of me.
"Hows it? Have you completed your task?" ask Jeremy
"You know, I had a really hard time back then and it was because of you! Just try that time you came immediately when I told you to come, then what is this? You even cancelled it" said the man named Drake.
"Hahaha forgive me! I had to cancel it because there were some problems I had to take care of that day"
"The problem? For instance? "
"Preventing my prisoners from escaping for example" I stiffened, I'm sure he meant the prisoner to me because there was no one else in the house but us. I'm trying to remember so the day I wanted to escape was Jeremy purposely waiting for me outside? Ck...really predicted yes, Jeremy Damn. The voice of the phone stopped the conversation of the two men behind me, Jeremy got up and picked up the phone while Drake approached me.
"Who is here? Weren't you the girl in the basement?Turns out Jeremy still let you live. You remember me? " drake asked, I still didn't want to deal with him because from the moment Jeremy was in the kitchen he saw me with his gaze that I didn't know could interpret but I was scared, I glanced at Jeremy who was also looking at us but was still focused on the phone in his grasp.
"Hey! Lookatme! I'm asking you, Jeremy used to tell me about you, so your name is gisel? It seems I'm no stranger to that name" he seemed to think
"Have we met?" he asked, I shook my head like I never did.
"hemm so yeah, but you really don't know who I am? You don't know me?" I'm confused as to why he actually. He forced me to remember something but what?
"Have enough stopped, Drake! Stay away from him because now we have a task" said jeremy
"It's a pity that our conversation just got here. All right, we'll talk again sometime" And then Drake leaves and Jeremy approaches me and holds me back to my room
"don't listen to the old man's babble, he's like that.Well you shut up in this room I'll go finish my assignment" Jeremy was about to leave but I pulled his arm to stop him
"Why?"
"Can I go home and bring me some books to read? I'm bored in this room "ask me, I see Jeremy raise his eyebrows
"Books? All right, I'll bring it, now go to bed! " cup... He kissed my forehead then came out after locking me in this room.
After his departure I mused over the words of that man named Drake. What exactly does his speech mean. I've met her? It doesn't seem but I remember the look in his eyes. If not wrong I've seen eyes like that but where? I'd better get some sleep, there's nothing I can do in this room other than just sleep, it's boring but yeah I hope Jeremy keeps his promise to bring me some books.

Author POV's'
A dark and silent night. No one will realize that crime can happen. On that silent night two shadows passed through an alley. The two shadows belonged to Jeremy and Drake. They were walking home after completing their mission. But on the way, Jeremy stops Drake's footsteps.
"What's wrong?" Drake asked confusedly.
"What is your purpose?"
"What do you mean?"
"CRC... I didn't know you twice. Why are you approaching the girl in my house?" Ask Jeremy annoyed.
"Oh! So you mean that one? Haha no no, I don't have any goals. I just feel like I've met her" Drake explained then he thought.
"Jeremy! Where did you find the girl?"
"What do you need to know?" Jeremy is getting annoyed at Drake's curiosity.
"Oh, do you want to keep this a secret from me? Looking at your tie now, it looks like the girl is quite valuable, interesting!" Drake grinned then approached Jeremy and patted Jeremy on the shoulder.
"You know Jeremy? The girl made me curious" After that Drake left Jeremy who was getting upset and anxious. He has a less than good feeling. Maybe something bad will happen, he thought.

I saw the clock already showing 2 o'clock at night, did I go that long? I walked into the room of the girl I was sealing and opened the door, I saw that she was already asleep. I walked up to him with a noisy plastic bag of several books at his request. Looks like the girl likes to read and why should I obey her? Is it because of guilt? I don't know.
I sat on the side of the bed and looked at her peaceful face and placed the book on the table. I smiled and then stroked his head. I don't know what made me like this to him. Behave sweetly? That's not even my real nature.
I still look at her and remember what happened 9 years ago.
I can't seem to sleep tonight. Remembering Drake's words that made me have to be more vigilant. What the old man thought. Does he realize Gisel is real?
"Why should it be you?" shrieked me, seeing her start writhing uncomfortably in her sleep made me stop the rubble on her head.
My mind was completely dead-end, it seemed like I needed something to calm down. Think and finally see a brush and some painting tools on the study table there.
I walked over to the study table and started preparing the painting. While I was painting I heard the girl calling my name.
"Jeremy? Is that you?" I just saw her.
"What are you doing? " tell her in a typical waking voice.
"Did I wake you?"asked me and he shook his head, ah that dear face made me smile involuntarily
"then go to sleep again, I'll just finish this and then leave" I said, he shook his head again
"i don't want to sleep anymore" she said, raising one of my eyebrows
"Why?"
"I had a bad dream, I saw my parents being killed in front of me and it bothered me so much "he lamented, I fell silent.
"then what do you want to do?"ask me
"Come, accompany you maybe "
"All right! Come accompany me! "i got up and walked up to him and took him to where I was. He put his hand on my neck. I sat her on my lap.
"Well! This your painting? "asked her
"you like?"
"of course! This is really good" he said excitedly staring at my painting paper then glanced at me
"I don't know if you can also stoop" I stopped her speech with a kiss on her lips. I couldn't help myself when I saw his spirit like that.
I let go of my kiss and I saw her surprised. I chuckled with that expression.
"What are you doing?"I can see the red hue on her cheek making me chuckle again.
" It's nothing. Can you paint?"he's shaking
"do you like painting?"
"of course"
"Well, I'll teach you" I said then took a brush and told him to hold it properly and after that I guided his hand to draw the lines to produce a picture...
"Hahahaha I didn't know you could do it either "I can't stop laughing. The picture is not as good and as neat as mine but for a beginner this is more than enough, he hit me in the chest.
"Stop mocking me! I know my picture is ugly" she bit her lip while looking down. I held out my hand to stop her from biting her lip.
"Hey! Don't bite her you'll just make them hurt "he's staring at me
"It's so late now. Let's go to sleep! " Take me but he shakes
"I don't want to sleep. I'm afraid the dream is coming back" she complained
"I'll be here with you, how?" haggard me, he looked at me happy then nodded, I followed with a smile when I saw him like that. I finally got back to her and took her to bed. I was just sitting on the edge of the bed with my hands in the girl's hand.
If only I could repeat the past. I want to fix it.
