Robert's POV"Roberts?! Psst! Robert!"The sound disturbed my deep sleep. Then, finally, I had to open my eyes to see who had been chirping my name.I shifted my body to the left and found that Monti had an angry face."What? Why did you wake me up?" I asked, annoyed."I don't want you to die of starvation, you should thank me and not be angry like a woman on her period! Hurry up, get up, it's time for dinner," said Monti while holding the end of the stairs on my bed, he seemed to want to go up and force me down.I immediately said hastily, "Yeah, okay, I can do it myself. Just wait there! You don't have to come up here, Monti."Slowly my hand reached for the side of the bed. For some reason, this body felt very easy to move, but now it felt like solid roots planted."Can you do it? Don't hesitate to accept my help; you're too stiff, Robert!" Monti exclaimed, his tone entirely underestimating my strength."Shut up, I know what I'm going to do. You don't need to be my guardian angel, I'
Axton's POV What will you do when the opportunity for revenge lies before your eyes? I would take the opportunity without hesitation if the question were aimed at me. What was I thinking to be able to ask this question? Hmm… Let's rewind what happened between Dylan and me in that brief conversation. |Flashback ON| "Axton, there's something I want to talk to you about." I averted my arms that were covering my eyes. Rudy stood looking at me expectantly. "Who?" I asked. "Dylan, he's out front, waiting for you," said Rudy. Wait. What happened to this prison? I'm apathetic, but as far as I know, he's not on the same floor with us. Even though it's dinner time, is it okay for the inmates to roam freely like this? But that's not important. Instead, I became increasingly curious about what he wanted to tell me, which seemed important. "Okay thanks." I got up from my bed and headed straight for the cell door. But, don't forget, I also patted Rudy's shoulder as a sign of intimacy
Robert's POV"Ouch!"My shrill voice boomed throughout the clinic. The face of the guard who was treating my wound looked sour because I was the one who kept screaming.How can I be silent? It is so hurt and painful. It felt like a very thick and robust acid had dripped the wound."Could you lower your voice a little?!" cried Monti."Yeah, what your friend said is true, my head is already spinning hearing your screams that were heard earlier. Even though I haven't completely cleaned your blood," said the guard."But it hurts so much, and I can't hold back the pain. So I'm sorry, sir..."I put on a sad face, hoping that Monti and this handsome-looking guard would understand the screams coming from my mouth.They both sighed in unison as if they were tired of my excuses."You have to help me to cover his mouth because I will press the source of his wound," said the guard to Monti.I widened my eyes, and it felt too much for me to be treated like that. However, before I could argue, Monti
Axton's POV The long-awaited day arrived. I can't wait to hear what Dylan says about the revenge he promised me. Is it interesting? Or does it make me want to punch him in the face? Who knows. One thing I realized, I was very excited. After a dozen years in prison, this morning is the morning that makes me the happiest. I woke up earlier than the people in this cell. The sun was not yet bright enough to illuminate the world. "Are you awake, sir?" I turned to the source of the voice directly behind me as I got out of bed. "You're not sleeping, Robert?" I asked. Robert shook his head slowly. His face was pale, and his eyes were also black. Of course, this kid must still be thinking about the threat from Liam's friend. We all tried to calm him down last night. "That sentence still haunts you, right?" Robert looked at me intensely, and he didn't respond. But, I could tell from his eyes that he was scared to death. "Didn't we tell you not to think about it? There are ten people who
Axton's POV I still think about Robert. Even the food eaten was tasteless. I'm not exaggerating. The kid and this uncomfortable feeling are tormenting me a bit. "I'll ask the officer to deliver food to Robert. He can't shut himself up in fear like that," said Monti, who sat across from me. I looked over at him, and the idea sounded perfect. "You're right, I'm sure the officers would understand and allow Robert to eat in the cell," I said. Monti nodded. He then got up and walked towards the officer standing not far from our table. "He should have listened to what you said this morning. I overheard the advice you gave him, if I were him, I would show my teeth and brag about people who want to oppress me. He's already in the most respected cell in this prison, plus Axton's arrival. So who's going to shake G28?" said Tony proudly. Several other members also chuckled because of that sentence. They agreed with what Tony said. I just sat there, listening to the conversation that was go
Axton's POV I went back to the library. When they arrived, Monti was already tidying the books from the dust. "Good job, Monti. I think you're a lot more diligent today, usually you'd just sit in the corner and order Robert to do the work I asked him to do." Monti chuckled. He scratched his head, which I'm sure is not itchy. "Life changes slowly, I don't want to come across as lazy all the time, sir. By the way, have you met Dylan yet?" asked Monty. I nodded and said, "Yeah, a meeting that wasted my time. But, it doesn't matter at all." "But maybe for him it is something important, sir," said Monti. "I don't care, he's just a stupid man full of ambition. I was surprised by people like them who always thought I could be easily lured by revenge. I'm not that easily influenced. After all, I'm not someone who can make them rise and become the number one cartel like D'Angelo. If I wanted to, I'd better start my own cartel." Monti looked at me with a happy face. I don't know what mak
Robert's POV I can't control myself. Really. If you think I'm exaggerating, it's probably because you've never felt weak like me. Yes, I was always wrong to be condescending to anyone. As a result, until now, I have become a loser who is consistently underestimated. How long do I have to do this? My head has been spinning the same question. I've been pensive for almost half a day, but my courage is still shrinking. I still haven't touched the breakfast given by the clerk this morning. That threatening sentence killed me slowly. I lay back down myself. I've been like an automatic toy every fifteen minutes, changing the position to a sitting place. I'm so messed up today. Even though what Axton said was true, I didn't have to be afraid of things that didn't necessarily happen. "Shit, you managed to get everyone to applaud for you! You are a charismatic man, I admit it!" The voice was unmistakable. I immediately rose from my position and saw Axton and Monti standing in front of t
Robert's POV He kept looking at me. Although I don't know his name, Liam's friend looks at me like a delicious meal. "Robert, move here." Axton snapped me out of the dreadful sight that had trapped me. I followed what he said, and we swapped seats. Now, Liam's friend will probably only look at my back. "You don't need to pay attention to it, you better just care about the food in front of you, Robert," Axton said. "Right, why did you have to see Orlando. Just let him stare at you like that, he won't dare to bother you, we will protect you, Robert," Tony said, followed by nods from the other members. I lost control of my mouth. I can't respond to what they say. My heart is broken. I'm afraid of that man named Orlando. "His name is Orlando? I just found out," said Monti. "Yes, his name is Orlando. Orlando Archerry Black, he's Liam's lover," Tony said casually. "One question that bothers me, why is he bothering Robert? I mean, doesn't he get angry and jealous when Liam keeps try
"Well, that's really fitting," added Doan.I thought for a moment, "Hm.. Okay.""Well then, I'll ask Erika where is the address of the social institution where Axton is now," said Doan.I sat on the edge of the bed, I still couldn't understand it, how did the paper reappear, is this really an old chapter that hasn't ended yet?"I've asked Erika, just waiting for her reply," said Doan."Okay," I replied.POV: AXTONAxton was asleep, but suddenly her eyes opened and turned white, her mouth opened and said something, I don't know what she said, because only the movement of her lips was visible and her voice did not come out. At that time, Axton was alone in her room.Suddenly a black cloaked creature appeared in front of Axton, it bent towards Axton's face and blew something into her mouth.Axton's hands moved and tried to strangle herself, Axton's face started to turn red, she was having trouble breathing because of those hands. The figure then pulled Axton's tongue which was starting t
I chose to sleep on the floor, because the weather was very hot. I took off my clothes, only wearing a white singlet shirt and cartoon prints, I lay hot on the floor.I tried to close my eyes that were already sleepy, but every time I closed them, the image was always there, as if calling me to come see her. Axton, yes that image is of course Axton's shadow, every time I fall asleep she always comes wearing a white or black dress sitting on a long bench with a blank stare, I don't know why I can see such an illusion, whether it's a sign or just my longing that turned into a pseudo imagination in the brain."Do I really have to call him?" I mumbled to myself, I hate it when I want to sleep, I have to feel like this. Doan had caught up with Irvan, they were both really sleeping soundly. While I'm still struggling with thoughts that I don't really know what to do. I really want to go see him, but honestly there is a sense of trauma in my heart, I'm also confused why I can be fickle like
"Axton, let's eat your breakfast first," said the caretaker.Axton woke up from her sleep, she looked around, the psychiatrist who had accompanied her all night had gone home, now she was with the nursing home staff."Thank you ma'am," he said."Are you okay if you're left alone?" he asked."No, ma'am, I'm feeling better, I can be alone," Axton said."Okay then, don't forget to eat breakfast and your medicine, okay, Anya's doctor will come and accompany you again in an hour," said the officer.Axton nodded, she then lay back down on her bed, her gaze looking far away, she must have been thinking about all that again,"How long have I been here ma'am?" Axton asked."Until you are deemed to have recovered enough and the police officers have finished collecting information," said the officer."I'm also confused after this where to go and how," Axton said, her eyes widening."You don't need to think about it now, the most important thing is that you have to be able to recover all your tra
"I know it will be something very hard for you, but as much as possible I hope you are wise and slowly to release all the shadows of him that are inside you, remember we have all come this far, don't let you fall again the same him, we don't know what will happen in the future, who knows he will hold grudges and want to avenge everything that has happened, "said Doan.I looked down, "Yeah, I'm also trying really hard not to think about him.""Erika just panicked when she found out we were there, she was crying asking us to come back, too many people would cry if everything was repeated for the second time, Fredgie is still alive even though in prison, we don't know what kind of knowledge he has, "said Doan."I understand, thank you again for accompanying me until this moment, I really have no more words, you are all my best friends," I said."That's the importance of friends, we will not leave you when you are in trouble," said Doan, he held my shoulder.We then sat down and stared at
"WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT HA, WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BROTHER WITH YOU! ROCK!!!!!!”"Don't involve them again, I have agreed to what you want, please let them all go," I said.“HAHAHAHA, Alright then I'll---“Suddenly, there were so many gunshots and footsteps, shouts from members guarding the upper door were also heard, I immediately turned to my brother, we just realized that one person was not taken, Mr. Fajar.Fredgie immediately ran to the exit, before he had time to go upstairs, a group of police came rushing in, apparently Fajar called the police and reported everything. In a moment, the police had surrounded the room.“HAND UP EVERYONE!!”"What is this?" asked Axton's mother so gently."We from the police received a report that here there is a practice of black magic that has claimed many victims," said the policeman while holding out his weapon.“Hahaha, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” Suddenly Axton's mother screamed, her shrill ear hurting and scary.“WHY DO ANYONE BREAK EV
Suddenly the faces of the three of them became panicked, we looked at each other and then we hugged, to be honest we are only seventeen year olds who have no experience in dealing with supernatural things like this. Five minutes later, the knock reappeared. This time the knocking was repeated until the doorknob was played. We started screaming in fear. In the midst of that fear, my sister called."Hello kaaak!"“OPEN DOWN!” I immediately stopped whining and looked at my three best friends, then stood up and headed for the door. I slowly opened it while closing my eyes and what appeared this time was my sister, Nofi and Riko."Gosh, what are you guys doing," my sister said."Earlier before you, someone was knocking too but when I opened it there was no one, that's why we were scared," I said."Come on, maybe this hotel guard, the important thing today is that nothing strange happened, right?" my sister asked.I shook my head. My sister brought sponge and food for us, she put it on the
After discussing and convincing me, we decided to follow their car, Kak Nofi's house is a highway that is always used when we go to Puncak, we can easily wait for them on the side of the road and follow them.Two more hours to seven, we each showered and got ready to leave. We borrowed Nofi's clothes, I asked my friends to tell her parents that they might come home late or not even come and stay with me. After getting ready we left Nofi's house to a restaurant on the side of the road, we would eat and wait for them to pass there. Hopefully what we have planned does not fail, hopefully there is a clue that can lead me to the gate of escape from all this tense things.It's seven o'clock, we're all in the car, Axton still hasn't texted. Five minutes later, Axton texted me, saying they had started walking. We started to square off, our car parked facing the street, I sat in the front seat so I could see Fredgie's car. We had estimated that they might pass in fifteen or twenty minutes. Sur
"I'm sorry, Robert, I can't do anything," he said.“You don't have to do anything, you just need to stay with me and deal with this,” I said soothing Axton.Axton cried for a long time, we understand very well how shaken Axton's soul is if she has to keep witnessing this terrible event.My eyes fell on a car parked across the park, it was Fredgie's car. I calmed Axton down and told her that Fredgie's car was there.We immediately hid as much as possible among the bushes nearby. A few minutes passed, Fredgie came walking towards the car, he was on the phone, it was not clear where he had come from. Fredgie then left.We decided to go home, afraid that Fredgie would pretend to spy on us. I escorted Axton to the front of the market, she then walked towards the house. Her eyes are still red, I ask her not to cry anymore, and call me if something dangerous happens.Me and my three friends headed to my house, as planned today we will go to visit sister Nofi's neighbor, Nofi's house is appro
"Are you still old?" I sent the message to my sister.My sister replied, "No, in a minute".I can't wait for my brother to come, a long time, suddenly someone pulled the chair in front of me, Fredgie."You're Axton's friend right?" he said, "May I sit down?"I looked at him sharply, "I'm his girlfriend, just sit down" I said curtly.Fredgie smiled then pulled out a chair and sat across from me."Maybe you've seen me, I'm Axton's cousin, I happen to work here" he said.I nodded, "Don't you live in Bandung?""This is my parents' company, I only come here once a few days, to check work, I'm one of the leaders of this company, by the way what are you doing here?" he asked.Before I could answer, my brother came over."Loh, there is Mr. Fred, good afternoon sir" said my brother."Good afternoon too""Excuse me sir, do you know my sister?" my sister asked.Fredgie turned to me, “Oh this is your sister? I just know, he's my cousin's girlfriend, okay then, thank you Robert for talking, I'll e
