The day was almost over. The night air began to creep through the crack in the window, and they were still trapped in the stuffy room. Shabby clothes are no longer a burden on their minds. They did not escape their memories of the pain of their wrists being bruised due to too strong a rope.

"Angga ... I'm scared," Alexa hissed.

Angga turned. He looked at Alexa's shabby and haggard face. The twinkle in his eyes dimmed. There was fear and anxiety from Alexa's gaze.

"You calm down, just. I'm beside you," said Angga soothingly.

Half-heartedly Angga said those sedating words. He himself did not know for sure if he could be beside Alexa in such a state. It could be, Ben at any time dragged Alexa and took her away from before him.

Angga closed his eyes, horrified. Negative thoughts immediately engulfed his mind.
