Ayana neither understands nor is she fully aware of what is possessing her, but one thing is certain; he wanted to end all this and the only way for this to end was to finish off the man who was sleeping on the bed.
With trembling hands and a heartbeat that echoed in her chest cavity, Ayana grabbed the scissors.
The cold black iron scissors felt biting on the skin of her palm, as if resuscitating Ayana about the actions she would do later. Makes him think about the consequences he will receive.
But, the pain and embarrassment from the trampled self-esteem, made Ayana make her determination.
The girl only stopped for a while to grab the bathrobe and put it on. However, even though her naked body was covered, but somehow Ayana still felt as if she was wearing nothing.
With a shunt, Ayana clasped the scissors between her fingers and stepped back into the room.
There, on top of a giant bed with luxurious and extraordinary hotel decorations, Carlos was still soundly asleep, unaware of the danger lurking at all. Ayana could finish him off in the blink of an eye if he still did not wake up as well.
Meanwhile, Ayana felt her face that was hot, as if it was burning, but then she realized that it was her tears that were flowing down unbearably.
‘This is not the time to cry.’ Ayana felt annoyed at herself because she was so weak and could not stop the tremors in her hands nor calm her rumbling heart.
Slowly, but surely, Ayana approached Carlos step by step. The journey felt so long that he finally reached the side of the bed.
Ayana lowered her head until she could see the sleeping man comfortably being lulled into a beautiful dream after the inhumane treatment she had done to him.
Ayana's finger grip around the scissors became tighter as she smelled the smell of alcohol emanating so sharply from Carlos' body.
Ayana felt as if she was not herself when she lifted the scissors to her shoulder, even her throat felt very dry now.
This was the point of his life change.
If Ayana succeeds in killing Carlos, then she will be freed from the tyranny of this man. But after that what? Ayana hesitated, she paused for a moment as bad thoughts began to permeate her mind.
But after that what? Ayana has nowhere to go. He didn't know where to run. He doesn't even have a friend to ask for help with.
But, if Ayana does not do this, then her life will continue like this. Treated improperly by Carlos. And what if Carlos is tired of him? Is he going to sell Ayana to someone else?
Who can guarantee that the next person won't treat Ayana much worse than how Carlos treated her?
Ayana gritted her teeth very strongly.
“If you want to do it, do it without hesitation.”
Ayana almost shrieked in surprise when she suddenly heard someone making a sound from behind her. Instinctively, Ayana turned her body and found Juan, standing on the side of the glass door leading to the balcony. His tall body towered under the fresh morning sunlight emerging to the surface.
With a dull eye, Ayana looked at Juan. Fear was clearly emanating from his face. What would happen if Juan told Carlos? Is he going to be killed by them like what they did to those poor girls that night? Or will they torture him?
“I...” Ayana stuttered. He wanted to say something to defend himself, but if Juan had stood there long enough, he would have seen everything from the start, right? That means, whatever reason Ayana gave would be unreasonable for her.
“If you want to do it, do it without hesitation,” Juan repeats his words, he does not seem panicked or look angry when saying that. However, it was precisely her calm voice that made Ayana feel even more afraid.
For Ayana at this time, Juan is like a predator who is stalking his prey. He looks calm because he is calculating and considering the right timing to tear his prey.
“But, before you do that, I want to ask,” Juan said in a lazy tone and decided to approach Ayana, walking slowly until she stood right in front of the girl. “What will you do after?”
Although Juan looks so scary when he is so close to Ayana, but he finds himself unable to take his eyes off the sharp gaze of the man. Like a bewitch, Ayana looked at him without blinking.
“What will you do after killing him?” asked Juan in a flat tone. The way Ayana looked at him really attracted her. There were not many people who could look at her as boldly as Ayana was doing right now. “If he dies, do you know where you'll end up?” ask Juan again.
Ayana swallowed with great difficulty. He felt extremely intimidated by Juan, not to mention by the fact that his body was towering before him. This did not help at all and Ayana began to feel like running away from this place.
Juan did not even hesitate to approach Ayana, although the girl was still clutching the sharp scissors she had intended to stab Carlos.
“Jawab,” said Juan in a quiet voice.
On the bed, Carlos was still fast asleep, completely unaware of what was happening in this room. part of his body was covered in blankets and a soft snoring sound could be heard from his dry lips.
“Pen... prison..” Ayana hugs the scissors in her hand, holds it to her chest, as if that way she can feel safe. However, he knew more than anyone that these scissors would not help him at all. If Juan wanted to kill her, then Ayana would not have survived to see the sun tomorrow morning.
“Prison?” Juan snorted with a scornful tone. “You think you're going to jail after killing him?” ask Juan. His face turned cold and expressionless as he stared deeply at Ayana. “Of course you're not going there. That place is too beautiful for you.”
Juan reached out his hand and touched Ayana's hair, twisting it between her fingers.
“If you think what Carlos did to you is cruel, then you'd think it's the best thing anyone has ever done to you compared to what you'll face when you kill him,”.
