2024-10-29 19:42:56Kanya's POV
“Ah! I’m tired.”
I laid my body on the bed. After all, I was too tired after typing 3000 words in three hours because I was careful in every sentence I typed. Arranging them until I am delighted will be a sentence that will make the readers drift away until they are curious at the end of the chapter. Today I haven’t updated the chapter, which I should have updated at 12 last night. However, last night I couldn’t touch the laptop at all.
After a pretty tiring and gripping day for me, the fear ran through my body to the point that it ran through my veins.
Samuel Wijaya hasn’t contacted me since yesterday. Maybe he felt guilty or even thought I was crazy. Especially if I tell about the person in the red raincoat, he will shake his head intensely. Then he turned away from me.
Drrrt!
I looked lazily over the nightstand when m

Make A Wish 25. Eros's Dinner Invitation
Eros' POV “Cici!” My gaze turned straight as I walked closer to Cici — my cat — which I adopted a few months ago. A small cat with grayish-white fur was leaning on top of the back of a woman’s feet I met just yesterday. Kanya shifted her gaze from Cici to me. She was shocked very clearly from her two eyelids held high when I called out the name of the little cat. “Is this your cat? Why ... can it be outside?” I let Kanya curiously ask before I answered. Cici already in my hand, I stroked the soft fur of a little cat that doesn’t have a family. Even so, now, I am his family. Cici is not alone, and she has me. “How did you get out, hum?” Ah, I was looking at Kanya’s bent eyebrows. I forgot to answer and greet Cici first. Cici is cuter than her, making me forget for a moment the presence of other p
Make A Wish 26. Samuel In Front Of The Door
Kanya's POV After waiting for about 30 minutes, I finally got to enjoy Eros’s cooking — a man who had never cooked for anyone before, except for me. But I won’t be proud of this. Then I took a few more spoons of vegetables, as well as minced chicken. They taste so delicious when they reach my mouth. It felt like I want to eating Eros’s food every day. “It seems that you enjoy my cooking?” Eros asked while looking at me and ignored the food. I stared back at him, then answered the question of the man who had been bothering to cook for me, “It’s delicious! I didn’t expect your cooking to be this good. Where do you learn cooking?” Eros shook his head, “I didn’t learn to cook anywhere. I told you that my job is perfect.” He started to say arrogantly again, made me cough, and had to drink water while the delicious food got into my mouth.
Make A Wish 27. Wanna Stay?
Eros POVIt was even cooler tonight in the large room I occupied by myself. Last night this bed was scorching from Kanya’s body temperature.I looked at the white ceiling and thought that I was insane right now. I told that crazy woman to eat in my apartment every day and cook just because I lived alone.A cliché excuse that I could find without thinking hard, and she would come every day.What a strange world. I can’t feel familiarity even with someone I’ve known for such a long, but Kanya… she’s a woman I’ve only met in a day. However, it seemed that we knew each other for a very long time.Is it just my feeling, or is this all just a coincidence?“Stop it, Eros! Don’t use your days off just to think about your crazy neighbor,” I told myself.Yes, again, I can only speak to myself. I got up and straightened my body before getting o
Make A Wish 28. Kanya's Damp Hands
Eros POV“Do you want to drink hot tea before going to bed?”I kindly offered Kanya and invited her to stay here just a courtesy, but she said yes. There is a sense of relief, also awkwardness after what I feel right now.Likewise, the air that I felt tonight was quite stuffy, so I opened my bedroom window and let the wind blow inside.Kanya was sitting on the edge of the bed as awkwardly as I was.“No need,” She replied briefly.Kanya pinched her finger firmly. I know she’s trying to get rid of her nervousness.“Don’t be nervous. I won’t do anything to you. Then just sleep. I’m sleepy now.” Then I went to the bathroom, intending to brush my teeth and showering before I went to bed. I turned to Kanya, who was still sitting blankly, “If you want to brush your teeth, you can use the new toothbrush in the bathroom. I usually have a backup for that
Make A Wish 29. You Can Stay Here
Eros POV“What are you doing?” I asked hesitantly, looking at those damp white hands. I wasn’t too brave to look at her face, and I didn’t want to know what her expression was like.Something strange and I couldn’t know it burst into my body. It feels like the temperature in this room is getting stuffy, even though I’ve opened the window and turned on the air conditioner.My throat dries up as she holds my arm tightly. Then I was forced to look at her sparkling eyes.“Take off my arm and quickly get dressed. It’s already late now, and I’m sleepy,” I said in a calm tone, even though my throat is dry and needs water. However, after I looked at Kanya’s face, which was still moist and the droplets of water still stuck to the parts of her face. My throat is getting drier. A powerful urge made me want to lick up t
Make A Wish 30. Red Full Moon
Kanya POVSo incredibly scary that I experienced fear again and again. I accidentally turned my face towards the window, and without realizing it, my gaze and the man in the red raincoat met by accident.The man was so real, even I could see the man’s gruesome and slightly disgusting smile, that I was shivering with fear down to my bones.Too much indeed, but that’s how I feel. The man seemed to be watching me when night fell. It could not be mere imagination, imagination that I could repeatedly see.Eros had closed the window tightly so that even a small gap could no longer appear in my sight. Eros’s room was tightly closed, and I became quieter. Eros also got me water. He was so attentive to me, even though I am nothing to him. Only the crazy neighbor had slept with him one night.I raised my eyelids, only to see Eros, who was busy observing his room. He was busy scanning eve
Make A Wish 31. Terrifying Nightmare
Eros POV“Kanya,” I called softly, patting her cheek, which was wet with cold sweat.It seems that Kanya is having a nightmare. Could it be that she is dreaming of killing me? For me, it still wasn’t entirely logical to have a nightmare of killing strangers that never met before.“Kanya!”Again I pat her cheek, and this time even harder. However, this woman still closed her eyes, and even I could see, she closed her eyes even tighter. Kanya’s eyebrows knit together, cold sweat soaked her body until I pulled back the blanket that wrapped her.Kanya just fell asleep, and I haven’t even closed my eyes when I accidentally turned my gaze to the side and found that cold sweat already drenched her. Does she have nightmares every night?It turned out that not only in her apartment when Kanya was alone would have nightmares, but she also experienced it when s

Kanya POVI started telling Eros the nightmare I just had. After I had run all the way to avoid the gripping red moon, a delicate hand danced over my shoulder without permission.Like my shoulders is a stage where those fingers dance freely. I held my breath for a few moments before swallowing deep saliva and daring to look back. But there was no one behind me. Only a gust of wind slowly greeted my body, which was almost shivering.I sighed, preparing to walk again until I woke up from the nightmare I had tried to avoid, and tried to get up as hard as I could, but all in vain.“Then why are you moaning for help?” Eros asked attentively.Eros listened to my story without blinking. This is just the beginning of the nightmare I told, there are still many scenes in that dream that make me moan in pain, and it hurts.“

After Samuel Wijaya gave her a dagger, Kanya backed off one step. Seeing the dagger in her hand, she was a little shocked.Why should she be in a choice like this? Why did Samuel Wijaya have to do this to her? But they can talk nicely without having to point knives at each other.They were friends who loved each other for a long time. Kanya also never suspected Samuel Wijaya until yesterday. Why should Samuel Wijaya do such a heinous thing?“Don’t be afraid, Kanya. Just do as you write in your novel.”Kanya raised her face, unwilling to do as ordered by Samuel Wijaya. She threw the dagger to the ground and shouted angrily, “I don’t want to kill my friend!”Hearing this, Samuel Wijaya became furious. He deliberately gives Kanya a chance to get away from him, but Kanya misses the opportunity.“You think I’m still your best friend now? I don’t recognize you as a friend anymore. We’re not best friends anymore, Kanya!”
Make A Wish 111. Since when, Sam?
Kanya turned to the dagger that the man had just tool off. Maybe tonight is her last of breathing air, and soon she’ll meet Eros.She was still sitting on the ground floor, staring at the man approaching her step by step. Kanya is not afraid anymore if the man takes her life. She doesn’t even make any noise at the moment. She was just waiting for the man to take her life.However, is it true that Kanya will not take revenge for Eros, whom she suspects is gone?The man grabbed Kanya’s hair from behind. With no pity in his eyes, he pulls Kanya’s hair even stronger. Meanwhile, Kanya moans in silence.“Yesterday, you were screaming, not wanting to die. Now there’s no fear in your face. Are you ready to die?”Kanya didn’t answer the fucking guy’s question. She kept quiet and glared at the man. It was as if her eyes stressed that the man was going to die at his hands.That fear vanished a while ago. Kanya felt she was on th

If only she dared to kill the man, then this moment is a perfect opportunity to end the man’s life.However, Kanya has a soft heart. So she won’t be able to stab that guy. Just by imagining it’s freaking her out. Though Kanya is the author of thriller novels, none can reference if Kanya dares to kill people.Kanya swallowed her saliva deeply when she got out of bed. She strolled so as not to wake the man up. In her heart, Kanya prayed she could get out of there. Although she did not know her way out of this forest, at least she could be free of the man.At that moment, Kanya realizes she can’t open the door. She was annoyed and turned around to see the man leaning over. Kanya can see clearly that the man raised his lips.“Huh!” Kanya feels toyed with by the man who turns out not to sleep.“Many times, y

“Director, there are some huts that we found in the forest. But Miss Kanya wasn’t in the hut. We will continue to search,” Said one of Rudy’s men.“Don’t just search the forest, but look elsewhere too!” Commands Eros in a stern tone.“All right, Director.”Eros’ health has improved. He wants to get well soon and find Kanya. If it takes longer to let Kanya be with the man, then something unexpected might happen. Eros doesn’t want to think that far because he believes Kanya must be okay.“Are you sure that she’s alive?” Siska asked while folding her hand in front of her chest.Hearing Siska’s question makes Eros annoyed. Eros’ sharp gaze falls on Siska. Eros desperately wants to strangle the woman to death. However, since she had taken care of him, he would forgive her.“Get out! I don’t want to see yo

Kanya was still terrified after the incident. The woman’s death was right before her eyes. How could she not be overshadowed? Kanya grabbed her hair like a depressed person.Since yesterday, Kanya has eaten nothing. This morning, the man brought her breakfast. However, Kanya immediately refused the breakfast. The fishy smell of blood fills Kanya’s sense of smell. The man did not clean the blood of the woman he killed last night and let the old shack feel disgusting.“Ah!” Kanya closed her ears.She’s been like that since waking up this morning. Kanya sat on the bed, hugging her knees. Her eyes glanced to the right and the left. Kanya’s eyes are unusual, unlike before that bright.She moved her teeth while scratching her head, then shouted again, “Ah!”The man in the red raincoat outside the hut was dizzy hearing Kanya’s screams since this morning. Then he rushed inside an

In a white room and several people wearing white clothes — standing around the man, one of them nodded and stated that the man’s health had improved. However, the wounds on his stomach that had been sutured still weren’t dry.The people in white came out of the ward. Meanwhile, a woman sits beside the patient.“Eros, how can you be so stupid?” Siska muttered, seeing Eros lying on the patient’s bed.If that woman didn’t come on time, then Eros’s life might not have been saved.“How’s the Director?” Rudy immediately asked when he entered the ward.Siska turned to Rudy, “The critical period is over. He’s fine now.”“Thankfully.” Rudy breathed a sigh of relief.They were anxious when Eros was in critical condition yesterday. However, hearing good news today made them calmer.“Have you found that woman?”“…” Rudy paused for a moment, then looked at Eros, who was still unconscious. “I can’t find her
Make A Wish 106. I don’t want to die
That night, Kanya was moaning in pain from the wound caused by the man in the raincoat, especially when she thought of Eros, who had died.In her heart, Kanya couldn’t accept Eros gone. Or there was no evidence that Eros died. Maybe the man lied to her.Kanya silently cried until she sobbed. She was lying on the rickety bed with her back to the man in the red raincoat. Kanya did not know what’s her Dault to that man and why she became his prisoner.The man heard Kanya’s cry. He got up from his seat, staring at Kanya’s back. In his hand holding food. The food is for Kanya, but he knows Kanya doesn’t want to eat dinner.Furious, he threw the food at his feet. It made Kanya flinch, her shoulders shivering, but she didn’t want to turn to the man.A moment after that, the man in the red raincoat came out of the hut. He immediately locked the hut so that Kanya didn’t run away.Seeing that the man had left, Kanya lifted her body.
Make A Wish 105. He has died
The rough hand touched Kanya’s smooth cheek. His lips smiled brightly after carrying the women and leaving Eros on the roof of the building.Sunlight entered through the small gaps in the rickety hut. Fine dust flying freely. Meanwhile, spiders make cobwebs everywhere. One of the black spiders crawled on the man’s boot. He saw it with a look of disgust then threw the spider away. After that, he stepped on the spider’s round body.One life vanished under his feet. Although only a spider, in its body, there is a soul. That poor soul may have gone to hell by this time.Behind him, the woman with red lips opened her eyes slowly. She found the situation as in her dreams. She had been in this old hut, not once or twice—however, many times.Kanya did not take long and immediately recognized the old hut. “This shack exists,” She muttered.Circled her gaze, but she caught the man in the red raincoat standing not far from her. The memory of la

“E-Eros?”What happened? Why was Eros a victim? Wasn’t Eros the man in the red raincoat as Kanya believed?Kanya felt dizzy, so she took a few steps back and closed her mouth. Her tears fell uncontrollably.All the accusations that she brought against Eros were untrue. Kanya saw with her own eyes that Eros was the victim here. So who is the man in the red raincoat?“Are you shocked and scared?” The man in the raincoat asked with a grin. A terrible face seems very creepy.“Dammit!” Kanya snapped after she gained consciousness.Kanya turned to Eros, who was enduring pain. Then she took a step with her weak legs. She felt very guilty for not wanting to listen to Eros’s explanation. She should have heard rather than accusing him, just because of the evidence she found.That caused her to stay away from Eros, also getting Eros into this problem. Kanya’s steps were getting faster. She immediately threw herself at Eros.
