Ayana walked down the narrow alley behind her house to get to the main road.
Every time, he would look back to see if someone was chasing him. But all that greeted him was darkness.
if Ayana were to be in her current state, she would have been very scared if she had to be in this small alley at night.
However, for now, there is nothing much scarier for Ayana than having to deal with the men who would drag her into the black market to trade.
Ayana continued to spur her pace to be faster.
When she finally reached the mouth of the alley, Ayana was already almost out of breath.
Nevertheless the bustling atmosphere and the exclamations and chatter of passers-by diverted her own clumsiness to Ayana's tense nerves.
For the first time, in recent weeks, Ayana has been in a crowd, listening to the chatter of teenagers talking to friends next to her.
Ayana was envious to see them. It could be said, Ayana was at an age not far from the teenage girls. However, why is his fate so different just because he does not have a family that can be used as a shelter?
While walking aimlessly, Ayan noticed the surrounding shops that looked brightly lit with lights that attracted the visitors under the night sky.
Ayana was amazed by this sight that she rarely saw. For a moment, the problem seemed forgotten.
However, it was true for only a moment, as the gaze of Ayana's eyes caught the well-dressed figure with the full suit stelan, which was exactly the same as the one used by the two men earlier this morning, instinctively, in the same way, Ayana started running.
His breath was piqued from running out of air. However, he still could not get away from those people.
I don't know how many they are, but they are definitely more than two.
Ayana thought she was just paranoid and the people had absolutely no connection to her, but Ayana's guess was wrong.
because when he looked, the men were following him.
While bumping into some people and getting made fun of here and there, Ayana got into the crowd of pedestrians and kept running until she found a police post.
Without thinking much more, Ayana immediately ran there, suspecting that she would get protection from the law enforcement.
During the run, Ayana repeatedly stared back at her back, making sure the men were still behind and unable to reach her.
For some reason, Ayana feels they deliberately didn't catch her directly and keep their distance, letting Ayana with her attempt escape.
After arriving at the police station, Ayana's breath was stung, it felt like her heart was going to explode.
Two policemen who were standing guard there rushed over to Ayana and asked about her situation.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" ask one of the thinnest cops there. He guided Ayana to sit in a long chair, not far from where Ayana was standing.
The other police took her a glass of water so that Ayana would become a little calmer, which the girl received with a joyful look.
"Thank you" Ayana muttered as she downed the drink and returned the empty glass to the same policeman.
"What's wrong?" asked the policeman named Bernard, he was the one who gave Ayana a glass of water.
"There's someone following me!" ayana exclaimed with a trembling voice, her eyes constantly staring at the door, afraid that those people would barge in.
"Who's following you?" ask Alex, the tall cop.
Ayana thought these two policemen would soon do something or at least ask some questions regarding; 'how can Ayana escape from them?' or, 'how did Ayana know that these people were from the black market?'.
Or at least they will record Ayana's complaint, but it is not. They do nothing and just look at each other.
"Someone wants to sell me to the black market!" ayana exclaimed again, thinking that they did not hear her first words clearly.
But, when Ayana saw the two policemen were silent without doing anything, her heart that had felt relieved, came back beating faster.
"Help me..." Ayana looked at them with a glare and a voice that stuck in the esophagus.
Why are these two cops doing nothing? Ayana asked inwardly in confusion.
But, a moment later, his confusion turned into a stifled scream as his eyes caught the figure slowly walking towards this police post.
"That! That's them!" Ayana pointed at the three men who were about to approach her, they had even stood in front of the door, slowly stepping in.
"Please, they'll sell me to the black market!" Ayana still did not understand why these two policemen still did nothing to help her.
it was as if they were glued to the spot and had turned into puppets.
"Good night" said one of the three men who approached the police station, in a deep voice.
Ayana is about to jump in and run away again, but it is too late for her as the two men have blocked her only exit.
Feeling no other choice, Ayan stands up and hides behind the back of a cop named Alex.
"Good night" Bernard answered the first man's greeting.
"I'll take it." Without much ado, the man declared his intention. "You better back off."
Bernard looked doubtful, he then asked. "Is this girl 'anomic'?"
Anomic is a name for people like Ayana. People who have no family and no people who will look for them if they disappear.
The most appropriate subject to be used as an object of trading on the black market.
It could be said that people like Ayana are those who occupy the lowest strata in society, where their existence or absence means nothing to the surrounding.
Even the authorities do not pay much attention to the cases of the disappearance of the Anomic.
That's what life is like in T.
"Yes" replied the man in black while lighting his cigarette. "His family has already agreed to this transaction, so you'd better back off."
Bernard and Alex looked at each other, they were just lowly servants who did not have significant posts, so to fight against this kind of person before them, this, of course it's not a wise thing to do.
Where the leaders of this group have networks outside and within the government.
It's no use for them to be heroic.
Therefore, the two of them stepped aside and allowed the two men who had just entered this police station, to bring Ayana along.
"Please" said Alex.
