Dusk At Ufuk Malacca

Chapter 9

Saro greatly admired the guy, even unceasingly smiling. For him he is Tao Ming Tse in the film Meteor Garden even though according to Saro he Iuan.

I was the first to admire even Saro who was like possessed. As a result, the old job wanted to run because Saro was just busy smiling, while her man seemed to shudder in horror. Maybe he thought we were crazy.

***

Two houses were completed today, we were picked up by Mem so we wouldn't run away. Earlier I asked to buy some toiletries and Mem complied. Apparently Mem is not giving for free, it is proven that he is thrusting a cashbon sheet. I have never felt it, only kasbon I always accept.

At 19:00 we got to Mem's house. Saro and I had to iron Mem's clothes and clean the room. We were allowed to rest when everything was in order.

Saro seemed to have been unable to bear, had several times asked me to run away. I have never agreed because I do not know the direction at all, even the direction of the Qibla until now is still confused.

We only slept for 3 hours, apparently Saro had a dream this morning. Saro giggled while snoring, I don't know what she was dreaming about. I got upset, I finally stuffed his mouth with a cloth.

***

This morning we woke up early to pray at dawn. We prayed alternately because Mem hated our worship.

Today we deserted orders so just clean the house Mem only. Even tonight we plan to escape. Unbeknownst to Mem, we've been using Indian-given mobile phones for a few days. We are looking for the right job information for us because we have never received a salary.

At night, we pretended to be asleep. While falling asleep later, Saro gets the task of locking Mem's room while I lock her son's room.

We started to act, I locked the room slowly and so did Saro. When we finished, we walked towards the main door. I had a lot of trouble finding the key because there were 2 key stacks. As for Saro, she was just busy eating the bakpao. Because if he's scared, the innards will eat.

Long time to find a suitable key. I was shaking so much, my pants felt like they were getting wet. I don't care anymore, the most important thing is that I can escape. There are only 1 more key I will try.

All the prayers I said without even consciously praying the meal I said many times.

I kept trying to find the key while Saro looked a little relaxed with her food. I don't know what's on his mind. Maybe it was short because of that guy.

Finally the door opened. I closed it slowly. Suddenly I remembered something, I remembered Saro. Apparently he was still sitting in front of the prayer. I pulled his ears out quickly, before screaming I had already smothered his mouth with bakpao.

I managed to get out the main door. There is a gate that I have not yet opened. I remembered something that this gate could be opened automatically. The remote is in a small box in front of the prayer. I looked back for the remote and finally found it.

I finally managed to open the gate. It was enough just to pass through our bodies, I also pressed it to close again.

Me and Saro ran as hard as they could towards the West in my opinion. Not forgetting to take off your sandals. Suddenly there were 3 brown and black dogs chasing us. As a result we ran away as fast as possible fortunately we found a twig and finally they fled.

We felt very tired after running for so long. Finally I decided to take a short break to catch my breath in front of the house that I thought was very familiar.

Wait a minute, it turns out this house is Mem's house. We ran as hard as we could to the west and continued to emerge from the east of Mem's house. Apparently we just ran around the area of Mem's house.

Saro and I looked at each other. Without waiting for the signal, we ran again in which direction.

Get us on the side of the road and see a taxi. We got in and closed the taxi. It was an Indian taxi. There were 2 Indian men. They were so shocked at our arrival, they thought we were going to rob.

I explained slowly and they wanted to help. Taxis went nowhere, we thought they must be nice people.

Stay in a shabby apartment. I was the only one who was asked to come in while Saro was brought by the other friend. They promised to give a salary to be able to return to Indonesia.

In an apartment room, there are 2 rooms. Each room in 4 tattooed men. I was so scared that they were doing something cruel.

I am a woman alone and must be willing to go through my days with these men. Like I live in a lion's den, danger threatens from all sides.
