Did you not say I was too delicious to think of another punishment

Awaiting the freedom I'll be experiencing once the curriculum starts, I went back to my room and sat near the window, relishing the beauty of the blue sky over me. There is some sort of mystery behind their every action, that kept me anxious.

With mixed emotions in me, I washed up and went to sleep… Oh no! I forgot to ask about internet. May be tomorrow.

Dhak!! Dhak!

Someone knocked the door. I got up quickly and checked for the time. It was quarter past three. Who would come to me at this time? The door is not locked and Reyan never had the decency knock. I picked up a décor aticle from the table next to be.

I lazily walked to the door, rubbing my eyes and opened it. Reyan's cold eyes stared right through my soul.

"My goodness ! I was scared I thought it was someone else."---- Walking back in, placing the thing in hand back on the table I turned to look at this man ---- "You could have walked in as usual. Why did you knock?"

"What is the time?"

"Don't you have a clock in your room?"

"If there isn't I would've slept here." ---- Given his poker face, should I consider this as flirting or threat? ----

"uhm.. it's quarter past 3."

"And why didn't you wake up?"

"Why would I?" ---- I frowned ----

"I don't know. Paying for your freedom, perhaps?"

Then I suddenly remembers that the schedule started at four in the morning. But I thought that it was applicable only on days I had to go to college.

"Does my freedom not start when the curriculum starts?"

"Only college and part time starts when your curriculum starts, the rest are for everyday, no excuses." ----- This new information shattered me. I was not prepared for such hard core training. -----

"Okay. I didn't know that." ----- Trying to act cutely ----- "Can we skip today? Please.. I am not prepared."

He looked at me, frowned and then turned around, his back facing towards me. ----- "Five minutes. There's sports gear at the left wardrobe. Get changed." ---- Finishing, he started walking towards the door. Pausing for a second ----- "A second of latency, will lead to punishment."

"That's not fair, I just woke up." -----My words didn't even seem to reach his ears as he walked out. -----

I got changed and rushed down to Reyan. Holding his hand up, looking at his wrist watch -----"You are 2 minutes late."

Oh no no no … punishment.

"It's the first day, can you not excuse me?" ----- I asked him tugging his shirts with my hand -----

"No" ---- A straight out rejection. -----

"Okay go ahead …" ---- I said raising my head, closing eyes tightly remembering the day I tried to escape for the first time. ----

"You think too much. Don't you." ---- Chucking he handed me a backpack ----

Heavy as iron, I held it close to my body.

"Wear it."

"Okay.. But isnt this too simple?"

"No. Not in a couple of minutes."

"Okay. But where is Kenny. You said kenny will train me."

"He is already waiting. Let's go." ---- I was shocked for a moment. There was not vehicle waiting for us. Does he expect me to walk to gym? From my observation during escape attempts, I didn't see any gym near this area. ----

"Is anyone picking us up front?"

"No. It's just five miles from here. We can jog."

"Jog !? Dear god! No.. This is harsh I can't do it. Especially with this bag."

"Really?" ---- He frowned ----

"Okay ok.. Let's go." ----- I had to concede considering my freedom later -----

I was okay for one mile. I didn't pant much, and my legs werent aching, that gave me a confidence that I can do this. 'I'll see you and I'll raise ou monster' --- I thought to myself ---

After 2 miles or so, it started, the pain in my legs, I started slowing down my pace.

"What? Are you tired already?" ---- He asked turning towards me ----

"No who said I'm tired. I'm not." ---- sweating and breathing heavily I said barely having any liquid in my throat. ----

"Okay, you lead the way I'll follow you."

After a mile, I stopped. "Can we rest for a while? I swear I'll run again."

"Your brother is waiting sweethert.." ---- Lowering his body, he said this ----

"Okay but at least, take this off from me. I will be on time from tomorrow." ----I pleaded pointing at the backpack ----

"No." ---- He blurted ---

"Change the means of punishing. Did you not say I was too delicious to think of another punishment… I'm fine with it." ---- I said clenching my teeth and fists. -----

He pulled me holding the backpack. His face close to mine, breath reaching my neck, his hoarse voice said ---- "I would love to taste every inch of you body, especially when you are sweating like this, but in private..." ---- chuckling he took off the bag off of my shoulders. "Now come on…" --- He stepped back wearing the backpack ----
