Young Lecturer Love Cage

Chapter 81

"La-ra?" Laura looked surprised. How could God grant his wish so quickly to be able to connect to this one woman.

"Yes. Its me. Maybe you don't know me. But I know you. The Milky Way often tells about the woman he loves so much" Laras said from across the street.

Laura's chest suddenly felt a loud thump. His heart seemed to have just received a powerful blow to make him forget to breathe. How could Laras say that so lightly without thinking about his interlocutor's feelings.

"Laura? You still there?" ask Laras when Laura's voice is not heard.

"Ah yes. I'm sorry"

"I'm the one who should be apologizing. You may be wondering why I'm calling you right now" Laras said. "Did you see that news?" tanyanya direct.

"The Milky Way disappeared?" Laura ascertained what Laras meant.

"Thank God if you know. I called you just to ask if before the Milky Way disappeared he called you?" ask Laras later.

Instantly Laura remembered the message of the Milky Way in the inbox of her personal blog page. "Yes. She sent me a message, but I don't think it had anything to do with her disappearance" Laura said.

"Oh my God, this is so weird" Baras squeezed his hair.

Laura scrunched her forehead, not understanding what Laras was really saying. "What's Laras? Has the Milky Way met?"

"No. He we haven't found yet. But I'm sure there's someone holding his phone. Yesterday I got a message from her phone number, she said that we didn't have to look for her. Because he'll go see you and settle down in Bandung. But when our friends in Bandung tried to trace his whereabouts. The Milky Way's phone is dead. Can't be contacted"

Laura looks confused. "How come? The message he sent me was just a message on my blog page"

"This must have been the kidnappers. He saw our actions and was forced to send us a message telling us to stop looking for the Milky Way. Damn you!!" umpat Laras is upset.

"But.. How could they make me an excuse. I don't even know who did the kidnapping. Why does the situation seem to say that they know me?" Laura still doesn't think.

"Laura, you can never imagine how certain parties track the weaknesses of their targets. You are the weak point of the Milky Way. I'm sure they've been after him for a long time, so they know who they should use to be a scapegoat" Laras tightened his molars. He felt challenged by those savage kidnappers.

"Oh Lord, then what is the fate of the Milky Way? I tried to find a continuation of the news, but I didn't get a bright spot"

"Media is easy to silence, Laura. Just like the apparatus. They will be hands off and will not bother to bear the heavy risk if one of the more powerful parties asks them to stop all reporting on activists who are forced to disappear" Laras reveals the harsh reality of activist life that is full of paradoxes.

"Then what can I do for him? Frankly I was worried about her whereabouts, I felt uneasy before making sure that she was okay" Laura sympathized.

"You say it like that like you still have feelings for him" Laras said suddenly.

Laura seemed to stutter at the words. It does not mean to make Laras think so. But the fact that he was worried about the man was something he could not hide.

"I just..."

"That's okay, Laura. I understand" cut Baras immediately.

"alright. If someday Bimasakti's mobile number calls you. Don't forget to tell me. I thank you if you do that immediately" Laras continued.

"Yes. I hope you also gave me news of the progress of the Milky Way search" Laura said.

"I will definitely tell you" Laras said before ending his call.

Laura stared at the screen of the phone that had been extinguished. His mind turned to think about the strange problem facing the Milky Way. He did not expect, activist life was full of great risks.

The day that continues to change, makes the Milky Way feel more and more unperturbed to face every bad thing inflicted on him by those cowards. Now he's being held in a small prison-like cell. From the gap of the window that lined the young man could only see the shoots of pine trees. He suspected that the prison was located in one of the woods that had no exact location. For when they brought the Milky Way to the prison, they covered the face of the Milky Way with a black head covering.

In prison the Milky Way is not alone. On the left and right side of the prison there are also some people who turned out to have long been prisoners in the mysterious place. From them, the Milky Way learned that Sukanta, the labourer whose people had been looking for, had been killed several months ago.

The young man, who grew thinner, tightened his molars when prisoners, mostly from the factory workers, said Sukanta had died in the electric chair.

Barbarians!!

The Milky Way vowed to avenge the cruelty of the mastermind of all these kidnappings. He will endure as hard as he can against all the torture they inflict on him. Until the time comes when he will launch a runaway action with other prisoners. Even though it's difficult, trying is the only option.

From behind bars, the prisoners heard the footsteps of several people from the outside door. Their eyes began to be alert. Because they were certain, something bad would definitely happen as soon as the door opened.

Fierce faces with staring eyeballs full of insults, became commonplace for them. This time only two burly men like thugs came. One thug has a codet on his left cheek, while the other thug is shorter than the codet. The two thugs who walked into the prison room pointed directly at the Milky Way who was sitting cross-legged. His long hair had long since disappeared, leaving only nearly bald hair with an uneven shave model. They are the ones who beat him up when he arrived at the prison site.

"Your friend is stubborn too, you idiot!" snapped the codet looking at the Milky Way with a scornful look. "We purposely made your lover an excuse, but she doesn't seem to believe it" he continued.

"Do we have to catch the woman who is happy to scream? His body is good enough to be entertainment here" said the short man next to him. The man breathed cigarette smoke into the face of the Milky Way.

"You're right, we'll just have to wait for the boss's orders to catch him. I'm sure, his stubbornness to keep doing that bullshit, will make the boss careless and end up telling us to clean it up" the guy with the codet on his left cheek said, who now stares cunningly at the Milky Way who chooses silence.

In his silence, the Milky Way condemned the folly of himself who did not erase all personal records from the notes file in the cell phone that the two assholes snatched away.

The habit during his school used to always make a personal diary, he still does until now. In the record for the most part, the Milky Way tells the story of Laura. His poems are pitched kasmaran, anger, longing and even loss is clearly drawn there. That was the reason why the two men, believing that the woman named Laura as the lover of their prisoner.

When the two men snatched away his cell phone, they disrespectfully opened up all the contents of the Milky Way's phone. All the agendas ormas, important contact numbers, even new messages that have not had time to open the Milky Way, they read everything. From there, the two bastards foolishly sent a message to Laras saying he was fine, and connected the reason for the disappearance of the Milky Way to his lover in Bandung.

The two fools who could only rely on the muscle did not think that his actions actually provoked friends as prisoners, to be increasingly convinced that the Milky Way was kidnapped by certain individuals.

From the window, the Milky Way tried to count the days. He scratched the wall paint with a nail he found in one corner of the prison by accident. Every sunrise, a line he made on that dull wall. And when his index tried to count the lines there, the Milky Way knew that he had been languishing there for more than a month.

"Dude?"

A heavy sound coming from the prison next to him made the Milky Way walk closer to the direction of the sound.

"What's wrong, Anggera?" bimasakti asked the middle-aged man who used to be the most vocal labor activist of his time.

"If you manage to escape from here, I leave this to you" he said as he thrust something between bars at the Milky Way.

The Milky Way stared at the fold of paper questioningly. "What's this?"

"Letter"

"Letter? What letters?" bimasakti asked increasingly curious.

"For my wife. There's my home address. Please tell him the letter" he said. "I don't know how my life will end here. I spent my time behind these bars. But yesterday you told me about the escape opportunity you were gonna try. In my heart I hope, may you make it out of here. You take it easy, I'm not asking you to take me with you. Because the condition of my legs that have been paralyzed by torture they will be an obstacle for you.

I'm just asking you to take the letter to my wife. Think of it as my last request"

The Milky Way held the letter back in Angera's hand. "We're all gonna get out of here. And you have to give this to your wife"

"No! Please don't refuse, man. My condition could end up suddenly like Sukanta or something. But you still have great hope. I beg you to accept this letter, and please greet my missus to my wife there" he said, again giving the letter.

The Milky Way, who did not know what else to say, finally accepted the letter. He held it tight. "Although that's the case, I'm sure we'll be free together" he said confidently before turning around and returning to sit on a thin mat where he curled up.

The night in prison became an excruciating night for the prisoners. The cold floor, the air blowing from the small window slits, plus the forest mosquitoes that are so greedy make their conditions more concerning.

The Milky Way, now curled up by bending its knees, looked back at the note. He saw the dull paper that Angera had gotten out of, as well as the translucent-looking blue ballpoint pen on the back of the paper. In the cold atmosphere of the piercing night, the letter carried Bimaskati's mind wandering to the person she desperately longed for right now. Laura. The married woman always managed to make the Milky Way's heart crowded by longing.

He missed Laura. Cherry voice. A sweet smile that always teased his eyes. His prose writings are still Milky Way see even though his relationship with the woman has run aground. The times when the Milky Way was being exiled like this, Laura's figure was so dazzling in her shadow. He hoped time would bring him back to that woman. Although he knew, Laura was already impossible for him to have. But at least he can still enjoy the beauty of Laura in a different way.

Suddenly Bimasakti recalls the last message he sent through Laura's blog page. Has the message been answered? Oh my God, the Milky Way would love to see it! She wants to meet Laura, even for the last time.

The rustling sound of leaves sounded shahdu that night. The Milky Way hid the letter behind its mat. He tried to close his eyes with the position of the body on his back. Her heart was so tired that she missed Laura. While the verse was running around in his mind. He murmured the temple in his heart, before it fell in the power of the flower of dreams.

My Ilal.

Let's make peace with the vile lord of destiny.

We celebrate our stupidity for taste.

Oh blue sky with a swaggering bird.

Watch my body wither to be eaten longing.

My steps are looking for something.

I want to meet my girl.

Even though it was only through the gap of the wailing wall we met.

God is always hiding.

Look at my frail body.

I miss that warm hug.

I miss that fresh scent of the body.

Where's she?

Come over! Bring it to me.

I'm just a self-destructive bee.

Who wants to suck the sari of his love flower.

Laura my dear.

Blood in my veins.

Comehere!

I want to hold you.

Sipping your delimit lips.

And fall asleep with you.
