"Go back to your room," Wrum told me when he came down. I kept on sitting here on the dining table's chair, and about to go eat. What was wrong again and he wanted me to go back to my room?
He wanted to keep me locked in the room, damn. My instincts told me that there was an enemy nearby, so he wants me to hide and that sucks. Facing that stupid enemy is what I wanted to do if he only knew.
"I said go back to your room!" he calmly said, but in an angry tone.
"What?" I can't believe what he had tells me. "I thought you were letting me be here because we're going to eat, right?" still keeping on sitting, I saw his serious gaze still focused on me.
He stepped four steps closer to me. "Damn it," he said. He immediately took my hand and pulled me back upstairs. He kept on holding my hand tightly, even if how many times I am telling him that I am going to follow what he wanted, he keeps on pulling me.
"Slow down Wrum! You don't need to pull me! I will follow you going upstairs!" I shouted at him but he is not listening to me. He kept pulling me until we got to the room. He immediately let me in while he was at the door.
"Why are you doing this to me Wrum? What's in the living room that you do not want me to see? I am hungry!" I shouted at him.
"Just do what I say and don't go out," he ordered. "I'll just send Wim here to give you food. Don't try to escape."
"What is happening?!"
"Nothing!"
"I know there is."
"Damn! This is for your own sake!" he said loudly to me. "Just don't go out!"
There are words I want to express to him, but I couldn't do it anymore. He already locked the door and even if how many times I turned the doorknob, I can't open it.
Damn. I just sighed and sat on the side of the bed. I can't help but think of something. Many what if’s come into my mind. For sure if I'll force him, still, he wouldn't let me do it.
I was suddenly brought back to reality when I heard the door open. I thought Wrum was back but he wasn't. It was Wim and as Wrum told me, he would send me food here. Wim entered my room and he is bringing a tray, it contains food. He laid it down on the table then stood up properly, and faced me.
"Are you okay?" he asked. "I brought you food because Wrum didn't allow you to come down right now. But don't worry, you can also come out later when everything is okay," he added.
Still confused about what was happening on the first floor, if Wrum had a visitor he doesn't want me to see.
"When is everything okay?" I got up from sitting at the side of my table. "So it means, you are facing a problem below?"
He shook his head. "No. We're not facing any problems." he calmly said. "All right, I'm leaving and I need to get off—"
"I'm coming," I said and made him confused. "I mean, I'll come down with you soon. Just don't lock me up here. You never treat me as a slave, but you're just treating me as a prisoner." I honestly told him.
"I'm so sorry Silic, but I need to go down," he added and about to face the door. "And I am just following the commands of Wrum."
Even before he could get out the door, I grabbed his hand to stop him. I saw a gun that was gun stuck in his side so I quickly took it. Pointed at him that made him be surprised at what I did. This was my first time that I held a gun and I didn’t even know how to turn it on, how to shoot it at him. I just act as if I know how to use it and hoping that he wouldn't notice.
"Silic, that's not a good joke you made. Give me back the gun." his voice seemed to tremble. "Put that Silic gun down. I'm not an enemy here, we're on your side."
I shook my head. "You are not my ally, all of you here are my opponents." Feeling fierce right now, hope he doesn't notice. I just need to get out of here. It seems like my feet want to get out.
"Just let me out, Wim. I have no intention of hurting you." I just explained to him. "All I want is to get out. That's all I want." I added as the gun continued to point at him.
He stared at me for a while and sighed. "Let's just follow Wrum's order, Silic. Let's not disobey him," he replied raising his hands.
"Wim."
"No. I'll do everything so that you can't go out," he said and immediately stepped between the door. "You can't go out."
"Wim."
"No"
"Wim!"
"No!"
"You want me to shoot you?!" I asked him angrily.
"Yes!" he also answered me loudly and I was surprised by what he answered at me. "It doesn't have a bullet, so it's okay to shoot me."
Shit? This gun doesn't have any bullet? I threw his gun on the floor, it turned out to be useless.
I approached him. "Will you let me out or not?" I asked him. "I'm not going to run away."
"No. You can't go out," he said, seriously.
You don't want me to go out then, I step closer to him and kicked his manhood with my knee. He was caught in it and seemed to be struggling because of the intense pain he was feeling right now. Did I break his two balls?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I just told him.
"Damn it, Silic! Ah!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry, I need to come out that's how I did it," I told him and I immediately walked out of the bedroom door. I saw him sitting on the floor and unable to paint his face.
"Go back to your room Silic!" he shouted and I just didn’t listen.
Moments later, I saw on the other side the two crew running towards me. Screaming and they seem to be stopping me. Since I didn't want to go back to the room yet, I was confused and immediately ran to the stairs.
I quickly ran downstairs because they were chasing me. I can already see that Wim is running towards me even though he is still in pain.
"Silic!"
"Stop it!"
That's what I heard from them and I just stopped running when I got to the sofa. Wrum was right there and was about to enter the mansion. With him ..... with him is Don Guillermo. Damn. That is why he doesn't want me to go down.
Wrum's reaction was shocked when he saw me standing on the sofa. Don Guillermo reacted in the same way.
"I thought you brought Silic home to Manila?" he asked Wrum. "You're just lying to me." he smiled widely.
I remember what he told me there on the ship. 'Don't cry when your father dies'
I was suddenly nervous. Is Don Guillermo the reason why they don't let me out? Damn.
"What did you do to my father?" I asked Don Guillermo nervously. "What did you do to him, Don Guillermo?"
Don Guillermo just smiled at me again.
"Go back to your room now!" Wrum shouted at me. I didn’t listen to him and just shook.
"Answer me, Don Guillermo," I said.
"Relax. Relax. I'll answer it, just take your seat and let's talk about it." He calmly said.
Damn. I'm nervous. Maybe it's time for me to know the truth.
