The atmosphere in the room felt tense, filled with uncertainty and hope. Soft light adorned the corners, casting shadows that roamed the walls. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee spread, providing a touch of warmth amidst the surrounding tension.
Alea sat in the corner of the sofa, her face serious, reflecting her commitment to keeping secrets. Across from her, Ava looked determined, her attentive gaze showing that she valued the information to be shared. Noel, sitting between them, tried to ease the tension with a small smile, even though he felt the weight of the situation.Outside the window, the rustling of leaves and the breeze seemed to enhance the dramatic ambiance. The silence was occasionally broken by the ticking of a clock, reminding them that time was passing as they attempted to formulate a proper plan.Everything seemed shocking and hard for Ava to digest. However, she wanted to hear more clarity from Alea. Trying to understand a narratiThe mysterious figure looked at her with doubt. Their expression changed as if considering her request. "Are you really struggling?" they asked, their tone showing a hint of empathy.Ava nodded, trying to appear weak and helpless. "Yes, I just want to eat properly. If you help me, maybe I can be calmer and talk to you."After a few long seconds, the figure finally stepped closer. "Alright, I will help you, but remember, this is an opportunity for us to communicate well," they said while picking up a bowl of food.Ava felt relieved but also cautious. She had to remain careful. "Thank you," she said, trying to show gratitude even though her heart was still racing.Ava thought that there was nothing wrong with eating the food prepared by this unknown person tonight. Although bad things could happen, she felt she had no other choice. The gnawing hunger made her feel weak, and she couldn't bear to feel her body weaken from starvation. She needed energy
"It's alright, it's your right to do so, sweet lady. But you must remember to wait a while here until you can be safe out there!" said the figure in a serious tone. Ava jolted at the figure's words. Her mind immediately drifted to various possibilities. "What does that mean?" She felt there were things she didn't know about everything that was happening. When the figure said she had to wait to be safe, there was an undertone she couldn’t grasp. Was this all part of a larger evil plan?However, Ava tried to push those thoughts away. She was afraid of getting trapped in the mysterious person's mental game, putting her full trust in them only to find it was a trap. She had to remain vigilant and not let herself be ensnared in any lies that might be told.While stifling the pain in her knee, Ava shifted her focus. "I have to get out of here," she thought. Every passing second only strengthened her resolve to escape. She couldn't let fear take control.Ca
Ava continued to struggle to move, even though each movement felt heavy and painful. She had been searching for a glimmer of hope for a long time, but this room seemed like a never-ending maze. Darkness enveloped her, increasing her frustration. The hope that once burned bright was now fading, but she could not give up.She pushed through the fatigue gnawing at her body and tried to focus. "I have to find a way out," she whispered to herself. "I can't let all this effort go to waste." In her mind, she envisioned the possibility of escaping and returning to her normal life, far from this fear.However, as she paused to catch her breath, pain shot through her body. She felt her muscles stiff and weary. In an instant, helplessness washed over her. Her thoughts drifted, imagining what would happen if someone entered this room and captured her again."Don't fail," she thought. "I don't want to feel useless." She recalled everything she had gone through, all the
Ava looked at the food suspiciously. Her instincts screamed to refuse. The food could contain poison or drugs that would make her even weaker. She didn't trust this person, and she wouldn't accept anything from him."I'm not hungry," Ava replied curtly, trying to hide her fear.The mysterious person sighed. "Don't be stubborn, Ava. You have to eat. You haven't eaten in a long time, and you need energy to survive." He approached, offering a spoonful of rice to Ava's mouth.Ava turned her face away, refusing the offer. "I don't trust you. I don't know what you put in that food.""I'm not going to hurt you, Ava," the mysterious person said in a soft tone, which sounded strange to Ava's ears. "I'm just doing my job. I was told to take care of you and make sure you eat well.""Told to?" Ava sneered. "Who told you? The person who kidnapped me and locked me up in this place?"The mysterious person was silent for a moment. "That's none o
However, the dream felt too real. The pain in her body, the ropes that bound her, and the strange smell around her, all felt very real. She tried to remember what had happened, but her memory was blurred and fragmented. She only remembered being pulled from behind and gagged, then everything went dark.Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared, breaking the darkness. The light was not too bright, but enough to make Ava squint her eyes. She saw the silhouette of someone walking closer. The heavy thud of shoes sounded clearer, indicating that the person was getting closer.Ava's fear grew even more. Who was that person? What did he want? She didn't know, and that ignorance made her even more afraid. She tried to scream, but her voice was only a muffled murmur because her mouth felt dry and tense. She could only wait, hoping for a miracle that would save her from this nightmare.Ava was startled, her heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. Her eyes widened, tr
Inside the cafe, which was beginning to dim its lights, Noel and Alea fell silent after Ava's departure. The aroma of coffee that had filled the room now mixed with the silence that hung in the air. Noel remained faithful to his coffee, which was starting to cool, stirring it slowly as if searching for answers at the bottom of the cup. Meanwhile, Alea's eyes were fixed on the view outside the window, following the movement of vehicles passing by on the increasingly busy street.Alea sighed deeply, breaking the silence. "Well, that's how it is," she muttered softly.Noel, without taking his eyes off the coffee cup, asked, "That's how what is?"Alea turned, looking at Noel with a slightly melancholy gaze. "That's how life is. Sometimes we have carefully planned everything, hoping everything goes according to our wishes, but in the end it's not always as we expect."Noel raised his face, looking at Alea with a more intense gaze. "Are you disappointed
