Not the Wrong Destiny

Hide away

Sheerin is faced with two options now. Get out of that place and act like he's never seen anything or expose everything he's seen to everyone?

But, can he still live quietly after he dismantled Luis's rot? Although he only knew the man, Sheerin knew how Luis was. He was a plot of Anya's mama, he was as evil as her mother.

Sheerin is not sure if he can get out of the place alive if he is caught by Luis. Maybe after this, it was his turn to be targeted by Luis. He was alone there, no one would help him if he were discovered.

How'this?

"Hiks... Hicks..."

Sheerin was aghast at the sound of the woman's cry. He's really human, right? Yeah, if not Luis where could have fucked him. Sheerin yajin would.

"Hiks... Hix... Hicks..." Her cries grew heartbreaking, breaking the hearts of everyone who heard them.

Sheerin's heart was filled, and she heard the stifled cry. His chest felt tight, his lips trembled, as if he could feel the pain the woman felt. What is this feeling? His heart began to be moved, Why did Sheerin feel that he had to help her? It was like there was a magnet that made Sheerin interested in approaching.

Sheerin came out of his hiding place, stepped closer towards the woman, piercing through the dimness. His eyes were only fixed on one point. The crying woman, sitting on the cold floor, had no reason.

There was a hint of hesitation in his footsteps, yet he still did not stop. His heart rumbled now, like it was about to be reunited with a person who had been separated for a long time. What other feeling is this? Why are his feelings so uncertain now?

The deg! The deg! The deg!

His heart rhymed along with his footsteps. His eyes felt sore when he saw the body drooping while curling it, his tears broke instantly when he realized if the foot that only lived next to it was covered.

Holy hooch!

Is this really all? Is Sheerin dreaming now? Luis once treated a woman more despicable than an animal.

The pair of eyes turned their heads when they realized Sheerin's whereabouts. The hopeful sparkle was clearly visible from the look in his eyes, Sheerin could see that. The woman's hands stretched out, trying to reach Sheerin. But he was powerless to do that, Sheerin was very happy for him to reach.

Fira's like she's seen that kid before. Yes, that girl. He returns to save Fira. As soon as Fira hopes.

The deg! The deg!

Sheerin is not warty. Again his heart had to work harder as the eyeball stared at him. His steps came to a halt, even his body was now retreating one step so shocked.

Then, his voice sounded pitiful.

"Please set me free." The intonation was very weak, yet Sheerin could still hear it clearly. Indeed, compassion now fills Sheerin's heart. The condition of the woman is very sad.

Sheerin approached her after feeling no threat from her.

"S who are you?" With trembling lips Sheerin asked. Although he felt pity, but it could not be denied if there was fear.

"He kept me here. Please release me!" The weaker he said. Sheerin squatted down to match the woman's position, to convince herself that she deserved help.

"Uncle Luis keeps mom here? Since when? And why would he keep mom here?" Sheerin let out all the questions that were popping up in his head.

"Over long." His words are full of resignation.

"What do you mean?" Sheerin asked who was confused.

Taps... Taps... Taps...

The deg!

Footsteps echoed in the silence. Sheerin and Fira were shocked, looking at each other. They think that Luis has left that place. Fira grabbed Sheerin's hand, Sheerin felt a warmth as he held her hand. The look in her eyes also made Sheerin hypnotized and unwilling to turn away while looking at her. There was a calmness that Sheerin could feel. And why does Sheerin feel familiar with the new figure on his platform? It was like they had met before. But where? Sheerin doesn't remember.

The more he remembered, the more Sheerin did not find the answer to his question.

"Quick get out of here. He's back." Fira's gaze seemed worried, he shook Sheerin's body that was fixated to leave immediately, or Luis would also hold him here just like Fira.

"But..." Sheerin was confused, which way should he go? Even the sound of footsteps could be heard from the direction of the entrance to this room.

"Let's hurry, or your life will be just like mine, ending in this place." Fira urges Sheerin, while Sheerin is still thinking of a way to get out of there.

***

Luis was forced to end his mandatory activities if he visited Fira during a phone call from Anya's mother. In a hurry, he returned to wearing his clothes and pants. Not to forget he also put Fira back on her clothes. He did not want his precious assets to feel cold.

After that he left. There's no way he's picking up a phone from Anya's mom when he's in front of Fira. What if Fira talks a no-no and invites suspicion of mama Anya.

Luis walked quickly out of the empty house before the second call from Anya's mother came back to an end.

"Yes Anya?" Luis said shortly after his call was connected.

"Where are you, Luis?" Mama Anya asked over there. Luis seemed groggy to answer Anya's mother's question.

"I'm at Anya's house, there's some clothes I should take." Answering also finally though clumsy.

"Can't Anya, I have to wear it tomorrow morning. So I have to take it now."

"Yes already. Are you gonna stay there?" Asking again.

"No Anya, I'll be back soon. Miss you. Wait for me there!"

"Yes already. I'm waiting for you to come home. Don't take too long. I miss you too."

Phone connection disconnected. Luis took a deep breath, he could dodge Anya's question and make her feel no suspicion at all.

Then Luispun re-entered the house to say goodbye to the angel of the inhabitants of the empty house.

While at his residence, mama Anya looks restless. He's used to Luis being around him, and now when Luis isn't around, it's like something's missing from inside him.

Mama Anya tries to close her eyes, re-knit a delayed dream. Roll to the right, then to the left, looking for a comfortable position. Already on his stomach, then turned back on his back, but a comfortable position that he did not get. His mind is running around out there.

Suddenly he remembered Bima, the only little baby ever born from his womb had now grown into a mighty man.

Breathing heavily, then sitting on the mattress. Rubbing his face rough. He did not manage to dispose of all his thoughts, the more he tried to forget about his son, the more Bima's shadow appeared as his eyes closed.

He glanced at the sitting calendar that was above the nightstand. Then his hand reached for the little thing. Look at it well, then remember something.

Today, exactly 26 years ago she gave birth to Bima. Yes, today is Bima's 26th birthday. A smile spread on his lips, then a drop of water fell from his eye.

He did not expect if the age of Bima can minnak at this figure. He almost lost his son when he was suffering from malnutrition.

Mama Anya watched secretly how she grew and developed under Luis' supervision even though she never openly showed herself in front of Bima.

If given the chance, could he just hug his son once? To let go of all the longing that had been mounting in his heart.

Can mama Anya meet him secretly tonight? Looking at her face at close range on her special day?

"Talk who you are?" Luis asked while yelling at Fira.

Fira was shocked when suddenly Luis appeared from behind the door and intimidated. Don't let the boy get caught. His do'anya.

"T doesn't exist." Shaking Fira replied.

"LIED! I heard you talking while whispering earlier." Luis looked angry. Before entering the room, he heard a noise, of course, it was loud amidst the silence.

He was afraid that someone would sneak into this place and find Fira. All his secrets can be revealed. Finish him off if all that happens.

Luis didn't want that to happen. All that could release Fira from his grasp was Death. Fira can only be freed from her shackles if she dies alone, not for any other reason.

He was so selfish, he wanted to keep Fira even though now Anya's mother had returned to his arms, completely. He can't choose one of them, both mean the same to Luis.

***

Sheerin's stuck here right now, between piles of cardboard. There was no way out for now, he was almost caught. It turned out that Luis was suspicious if anyone sneaked into this secret place.

As much as possible Sheerin reduced his movements so that Luis' suspicions did not get bigger. Even to breathe Sheerin was afraid, afraid if his breath sounded to Luis' ears.

Holy hooch!

What should Sheerin do now? Luis sounded very angry. He would definitely not be able to get out of this place in a state of fine if Luis were to find him.

The cellphone!

Fortunately, Sheerin had time to charge her, she tried to turn on her phone. It took a few minutes for the phone to turn on. The wait was so long, two minutes was like 2 days.

Dan, successfully! The phone is on, but the battery is only 10% charged. It was good for him to send Nindi a message to ask for help.

With trembling hands he typed in a chat message to his twin brother. Hope Nindi wakes up when the message is sent.

'Nin, help me. I was in an empty house next to my house. Please congratulate me from Loe's father-in-law. I'm afraid of Nin!' Even just to type in a few words like that alone became a very meaningful struggle for Sheerin who was overwritten by fear at this time.

Sheerin had to wait again, just as Luis kept yelling at her and forcing her to open her mouth. Sheerin had already panicked to death when the checkmark on his message had not turned blue. Nindi has not read the message from him. He must be traveling in his dreamland.

How'this? Who else could Sheerin ask for help in a blind morning like this?

Levin's? Yes, Levin. Heart lover. Although he himself wasn't so sure if Levin was still awake. At least he should try and try.
