PUNISHMENT

"Good, now continue your story." Mizran said again sitting in his place.

Ezra took a deep breath before continuing her story.

"At that time, I went to his shop to ask for a letter from Grandma's house which had been paid in full. But Vino said Grandma's house hasn't been paid off unless I want to be his girlfriend. I refused vehemently, he persuaded me by giving me necklace jewelry. When I held him suddenly he screamed calling me a thief and called the police. I know all of this is Vino's evil intentions, who didn't get what he wanted." Ezra said with hateful eyes.

"What exactly does Vino want??" Mizran asked leaning forward, curious about Ezra's story.

"My body, especially if it's not that!" said Ezra while rubbing her stomach which was already growling loudly.

Mizran swallowed his saliva back leaning back in his chair after hearing Ezras answer.

"Is Vino a handsome man?" Mizran asked to confirm what was on Ezra's mind.

"Not handsome at all, he's an old man like you, but he's very arrogant. He has a hotel as well as a jewelry shop. And one more thing he is famous as a loan shark in my village. There is absolutely no goodness in him." said Ezra with a disgusted look when she told about Vino's figure.

Mizran swallowed his saliva again when Ezra unceremoniously called him an old man.

"Do I look old in your eyes?" Mizran asked himself curiously when Ezra called him an old man.

"Aren't you old sir? but you are so handsome can't compare to Vino who is old, ugly and not disgusting." said Ezra shamelessly praising Mizran's good looks.

"I think that's enough of your explanation for today Ezra. Now you can eat my food. Eat Ezra ." said Mizran, took out his lunch and gave it to Ezra.

"How about you sir? are you not hungry sir? we can eat together sir." Ezra said with her innocent eyes.

For a moment Mizran was transfixed by Ezra's words which sounded innocent without any particular meaning.

"No, you eat alone. Soon it's time to rest, I can eat at home." said Mizran as he got up from his seat to get ready to go home.

"Mr. Mizran, after I finish eating what should I do? should i rest too?" asked Ezra when she saw Mizran wearing his black suit.

Mizran turned to Ezra then thought about telling Ezra to clean his study.

"After eating, you can rest here. After that you clean my workspace. The equipment is in the corner over there. And you don't go anywhere before I come back." said Mizran, pointing to the bathroom in his study.

"Okay Mr Mizran." said Ezra while nodding her head in agreement with Mizran's order.

Mizran nodded silently then walked towards the door to hurry home.

"Mr. Mizran." Call Ezra suddenly before Mizran leaves.

Mizran stopped in his tracks while holding the doorknob.

"What is it??" Mizran said looking at Ezra's innocent face.

"Thank you for your kindness." said Ezra giving a sweet smile to Mizran who had been kind to her.

Mizran nodded his head then left his study.

After Mizran left Ezra was still smiling in her place then continued eating quickly.

"I have to clean this room until it's clean and not dusty. I don't want to disappoint Mr. Mizran to me. He has been so good to me by feeding me." Ezra said to herself as she finished her food.

After finishing her food, Ezra immediately took her tools to clean Mizran's workspace.

"I'd better clean Mr Mizran's study first then I'll rest." said Ezra not wanting to disappoint Mizran with the task she was given.

With great pleasure Ezra cleaned the entire room and mopped the floor earnestly. Everything in the room was cleaned by Ezra very deftly.

With sweat profusely Ezra finally completed Mizran's task well and quickly.

"Finally finished my job. Now I can rest in peace. But where do I rest? should i sleep outside? what if Mr. Mizran is looking for me?" Ezra asked in her heart while wiping her sweat.

"I'd better rest here." Ezra said as she kept her equipment in its original place.

Not wanting to dirty Mizran's sofa, Ezra rested by lying on the floor to relieve her tiredness.

Not a few minutes before Ezra slept, suddenly Ezra felt a punch on her ass which caused her to groan and wake up from her sleep.

"You are so rude!! who told you to sleep here?!! are you looking to die?!!" said a fat woman shouting at her holding a stick.

"Who are you guys?? why did you guys suddenly hit me without waking me up??!!" Ezra said angrily rubbing her sore buttocks.

"Alma, look she's been bold on us. Should I punish her?" asked the fat woman to Alma, her boss, who was known for her strict nature without giving mercy to anyone who had actually violated the prison rules.

"Teach her a lesson for daring to sleep on purpose in the warden's room." Alma said firmly then walked out.

The fat woman quickly grabbed Ezra's hand and dragged her out of Mizran's study following Alma's footsteps.

At the place of punishment of the prisoners, Alma sat up straight then called out to Ezra with a gesture of her index finger.

The fat woman pushed Ezra roughly to get closer to Alma.

"What's your name?" asked Alma with a cold look.

"Ezra." said Ezra trying to stand up straight after the fat woman dragged her roughly.

"Why are you in Mr. Mizran's room? and how dare you sleep there?" asked Alma with an intimidating look.

"I was ordered by Mr. Mizran to clean the room. I was also told to rest there." said Ezra honestly without any fear at all.

"BUGG!"

"Impossible!!! you must be lying!!" said the fat woman while hitting both of Ezra's calves hard.

"Ouch!! sick, fat!! why did you hit me?!! I speak the truth!" said Ezra loudly feeling mistreated by a fat woman.
