The Lover In Dream
Under Direct Sun Light
"Then, I met a woman in Indonesia. He cried when he saw all the wounds on my body and willingly punched others just to save me" Kubo said.
Ten years ago, when Kubo went with his parents on business, he experienced an unpleasant incident. For a week he was kidnapped by someone and held captive in a small, dark room. Several times he was beaten, he could not do anything because at that time he could not speak Indonesian and did not understand anything.
Until a woman came to save him. He closed his eyes, recalling the events of that day.
The room was small and dark, there were no lights. Only the sound of the tap water dripping occasionally, which became Kubo's lifeblood. He did not know how long he had been there, his hands and feet tied. And not a single light came in the room. He did not know what time, he knew only a small and opaque window that was high so he could not reach. Kubo only knew it was morning or noon if the window was white, and night if the window was fused with the darkness of the room until it was invisible. Several times he slept and woke up, but nothing changed. Until he began to lose hope.
Nah! Nah! Nah!
Kubo heard the sound again, it was always heard from the window when the window was white. Sometimes he screamed, hoping that someone was there. But there was never a follow-up response from someone there.
Brakk!
The door of the room opened, and he saw a tall man in front of him. With his already weak body condition, he was no longer able to clearly see someone standing before him. The man gave a plate of rice and away as usual. It's strange for Kubo, because he was kidnapped. Placed in a dark room and left in the bathroom and cold. But the man never forgot to give Kubo food. As if, like he would not let Kubo die of hunger, but anyway with Kubo's current condition. He doesn't even look able to last more than a week.
"Ahhh shit, why did the stranger not immediately send his money" Grumbled the man.
Kubo did not understand what the man said at all, with his hands and feet tied he tried to crawl towards the food that had just been delivered. As usual, Kubo ate the food with just his mouth like an animal.
Nah! Nah! Nah!
The voice was heard again, usually only once a day. Today, however, that voice was heard twice. Kubo tried to look at the window, hoping that someone might see it. But the window was not open at all. His body trembled as he thought of the possibility that he would not survive. He then curled back up after finishing his meal.
Brakkkkk!
The man came in and threw a woman at Kubo. Followed by the voice of the screaming woman, whose hands and feet were already tied.
"Oh, shit, just one is hard. Why must be added to the stalker" Grumpy man again.
Kubo saw the wound on the woman's face, there was blood on the corner of her lips. The woman wore blue trousers and a plain white T-shirt, while Kubo wore a blue shirt and white trousers.
"It turns out you're really alive" Naomi said in Japanese when she regained consciousness.
"You speak Japanese?" Tanya Kubo astonished.
"A little bit" replied the woman.
"You're strong enough for someone to be held captive for almost a week" the woman explained.
"So you knew from the beginning?" Ask Kubo again.
The woman nodded, "I throw three stones every morning to make sure you're still alive"
"I saw that crazy man carrying you at night, the first time I threw a rock I heard your voice and I'm sure you were held captive here" he explained.
"The crazy guy just got out of jail a month ago, but he seems to be still crazy and not exactly deterred. Previously, he had kidnapped a woman and was caught" he added.
The woman untied her hand with a razor she kept behind her watch. Shortly he pulled the phone out of the stocking he was using, and spoke on the phone after contacting someone.
Buggggg !
The woman's head was hit with a piece of wood before she finished her call and the woman had to fall to the floor. The crazy man knew that the woman was calling someone, and he heard her. He examined the woman's body, and seized the cell phone and razor which the woman used to untie her hand.
"Don't try to contact anyone, or I'll kill you" he threatened.
The man threw his feet at Kubo, but quickly the woman got up and hugged Kubo so that the kick landed on the woman's back.
"If you continue to torture him, he will die and you will get nothing. Including the money you asked from his parents"
"Some will come. Sure" Smirk.
Before long, there was a commotion from outside the room. And some people came in and helped them.
"Naomi, my name is Naomi" Kubo recalled.
After that day, Kubo was immediately taken home to Japan with a state of emergency. All he remembered was the woman's face and name, when for the first time Kubo saw the woman's face in the sunlight shortly after leaving the room. Kubo's place was kidnapped not far from where the day before they reviewed the area of the new factory to be built by his parents. Apparently he kidnapped Kubo at random and he did not intend to harm Kubo.
The man only hopes to get a ransom because he does not know where to get the money from after being released from prison. But this time, the man had to go back to jail for a long time. And the last thing Kubo knew was that his family gave some money to the woman's family for bravely saving her.
"I'll see him soon" Kubo murmured.
Already a month ago Kubo accidentally found Naomi on his new secretary list. Without asking anything, Kubo immediately agrees to hire Naomi and asks Naya to prepare everything.
"What if he doesn't remember you" asked Naya.
"There's no need to remember that bad time Nay, I just want to avenge everything he's done for me" she replied.
Naya simply nodded, "What if she lives next to you?" Ask Naya.
Kubo smiled, he knew Naya was indeed a person who always understood what was on his mind.
"Of course, I like your idea" Kubo said.
He then took his car keys, and immediately left the room.
"Urus Naomi, I have an important event tonight" Kubo said.
*****
Ten years ago.
That night, Naomi was looking for fresh air. He was too tired all day school, making him have to force to buy a noodle at night. While passing through a narrow alley, Naomi saw a man dragging something. While watching the man, Naomi remembers that the man is the one who just got out of prison a few weeks ago. Naomi squinted her eyes, to make sure that the man was being dragged by her was a human. But the man soon disappears into the darkness before Naomi is convinced that it is human, until she decides to go home.
Two days later, Naomi hears that a Japanese boy is missing from her neighbor's gossip. Naomi was slightly reminded of something she saw the other night two days ago. But he was not sure, until when he left school through a narrow alley where he saw the man he took the initiative to ascertain what he saw.
Naomi looked at the small window far above her head, she took a few steps and tried to throw some stones, until after three times she threw stones, she did not hear any sound from there.
"Guard"
A faint sound came from the window, so Naomi was sure that someone was held captive inside. And he was increasingly convinced that someone who was held there was a boy referred by his neighbor. After a few days of trying to make sure that the boy is still alive, Naomi tries to contact someone. But before Naomi managed to contact the man, suddenly he was hit right in the face until he fell down and was unconscious. Upon awakening, Naomi was forced into a dark room and saw a man in front of her. It is tied up and looks weak. His face was bruised and swollen, like he had been beaten.
Naomi remembers, she kept a razor behind her watch and a small cell phone behind the stockings she was wearing to keep watch if anything bad happened. And Naomi's guess is right. He tried to contact someone through his cell phone.
"Yes, come to the place I talked about. She's in the bathroom with her hands and feet tied" Naomi said on the phone.
Before he managed to hang up the phone, he suddenly felt pain because his head was hit. While trying to revive himself, he saw the man was throwing a kick.
Naomi quickly hugged the boy and got a kick on his back four times. It makes him feel helpless.
"Some will come. Sure" Lirih Naomi then unconscious.
"Naomi, my name is Naomi" Naomi murmured as her eyes glazed as sunlight fell on her body as it was being carried out of the room.
After that day Naomi never heard from them, she only knew that the family had returned to her home country. And lucky, because of that incident they got a lot of money in return.
