SAMAR

I woke up from my unconsciousness.

"It's been exact three hours since I got here still I don't know where I am.", I thought within myself as I managed to detect the time from the broken glass of my watch.

Pulling myself together, I strived to find my way out but I'm unable to do it. It's so dark here. I wish I could call mommy, she'll be worried about me. Pondering about this, I remembered today's incident as a baby shriek reached my ears.

"Listen girl, stop crying or else I'll make you voiceless.", I heard.

Kayu... I mumbled her name. She was with me during the abduction. We were playing like everyday in the children's park and all of a sudden they came to us and... and I blacked out. I let out a deep sigh as I don't know what happened next. For now I need to go to her but how will I reach her? I can't see a thing. The next moment idea popped up in my brain.

"You can follow the sound Samar.", My inner voice told me. Kayra's screeches made it cakewalk for me.

While sensing the things in background I stood up and followed the sound, touching gently everything so that I don't stumble. I took tiny steps towards her yet find nothing but a irregular surface around me. There must be a exit and I have to find it. I circled around the space comfortably as find nothing in my way and here it is. I sensed a wooden window beneath my hand. Striving to open it, I shoved it but all in vain. I guess it is stucked.

"God, help me to save Kayu please!", I muttered while finding something to shove the window. At a time I couldn't hear Kayra's cries.

"Why did she stop crying?", I grabbed whatever came in my fist, jolted the stucked window and came out.

"Kayu... Where are you? I'm coming to you, don't be scared. okay!", Moving in a particular direction, I screamed. Before I could proceed further, some men in their 30's wearing all black approached me. I can resemble some of them from today's incident.

*******

"Kayu, don't cry. I'm here, no?", I strived to wipe off her tears as I was confined in their grip. There is nothing I could do instead of consoling her. Although I'm just 15, I was always a big boy to her. Maybe she is right, my mommy always tells me that I'm way more quick-witted than others of my age. I guess, age is just a number in my case. Nonetheless, above all this I'm just yearning for some ideas that can take us out from this shitty place. These miscreants have vowed to frighten my Kayu.

"Just stop blabbering, you little brat. You both... you won't be able to escape from here. Let's just stop this word game and do some real action.", The man who was behaving like their boss passed a smirk to us. I'm getting negative vibes now. Kayra strived to conceal herself behind my shoulder as her eyes caught a sight of his smirking face. I turned to her abruptly, cupping her chubby cheeks which have turned red due to continues cries.

"Sam... They're bad. They... They want to hurt us.", She barely stammered. I want to punish these bad men. How can they make my Kayu like this! She is such a sweet girl. Everyone loves her.

"Kayu, I promise I'll protect you and I'll punish them.", I connect my eyes intensely with hers to bind my words. I know it's not the situation to lie about these things but the promise I made to her is bound with my determination, my heart and my soul. Until she is able to protect herself, I will protect her. I'll have her back till eternity.

    SAMAR"No... Please don't do this... Don't snatch her from me, please...", Screaming aloud like any other day, I thrust my hands upon the bed and catch the sight of mom. She is here as always. These nightmares have never left me alone and mom too."Mom, what are you doing here? You should've rested in your room, no?", Getting up, I complained. She passed me a strong glare with her damped eyes. Everyday... I have seen her tears almost everyday for the last 15 years. There is not a single day when she failed to stick by my side. She looks out for me everytime when things go hard. But her worries, her tears bother me. It's all because of my nightmares. I wish I could do something for it."How can I rest when my baby is having a tough time? You'll never win this discussion, Samar, so stop trying.", Stroking my hair, she comes to me, pecking on my forhead."Mom, don't call me bab

    LILYWhen Samar said, "I got lucky", it was the biggest praise I've ever get. The man of my dreams and imagination, that flawless, charming, graceful man is complimenting me, saying he is lucky to have me.Over the last 6 years, I've strived to work shoulder to shoulder with him. It was my passion and hard work that brought me at this position today.As we were carrying on with the symposium, hearing a slight creek sound I turned around, only to caught a sight of an elegant, charming lady. She must be in her late twenties."Oh! Here comes my secretary, my right hand. Meet Kayra. And may I say, she is as meticulous as Lily.", Mr. Adem stated."Kayra...", Hearing it, I mumbled unwillingly. Perplexion could easily be seen on Samar's face as Kayra strode towards us. His face stiffened, voice stucked and eyes hardened on her. It's getting out of control. I've t

    KAYRA"And he is my main target.", I added."That's right, Kayu. You are acting smart lately.", Stroking my back, Neil chuckled, trying to create a comic mood as I glued my gaze on him, passing strong glares. I know he didn't mean it but I can't keep calm when he is calling me 'Kayu'. Deep inside I really hated it."Don't... Just don't call me Kayu. No one can call me Kayu except Sam.", Jerking my shoulder, I shoved his hand as he held her ears to apologise.Despite me expressing opposition to him calling me Kayu, he still doesn't listen to me. This name... It was always Sam's and always will be his. Kayu belongs to Sam and Sam belongs to Kayu, that's it."Neil, go to your work. Let her focus now.", Boss interrupted us, shooting a glare to him."Yes boss.", He politely answered and walked out."Kayra, I have taught y

    SAMARAs the gleaming sun rays fall upon my face, I looked for my phone with my closed eyes. Putting my index finger on the screen, I unlocked the phone and opened my eyes as a bright smile appeared on my face, looking at the screen.On the display, there was a picture of Kayu and I, riding on a Tora Tora. That picture took me back to the time when we were actually riding that ride, when I was 14 and she was a baby girl.FLASHBACK"Kayu, let's go to that ride. It'll be fun.", Pointing to the Tora Tora, I held her hands and beamed in excitement. I was always fond of these rides and since, it was the first time I had come with her to an amusement park, I wanted her to ride with me."You go, I'll stay here with mom.", She said in a confused tone as if she was finding excuses to avoid the ride."Don't tell me you're scared of rides! Are you?", Trying to tease her, a full grin appeared on my face."Huh! I'm not at all s

    SAMAR"You have just 10 minutes, come back before that, okay?", With a frowning face, Lily scolded me for the fourth time in a row, repeating the same thing and in response I was just passing a wide grin as it was fun to tease her. "And don't forget to take your clothes, she'll be here anytime soon.", She added."Nah... I'll come half naked.", Her eyes popped out but this time her expressionn turned into anger as she glared at me with her blue eyes."Oops... Sorry.", I covered my mouth with both hands as if I was the IVAZARU, who could not speak ill of anyone and darted towards the bathroom."Silly!", Her giggling sound made me laugh too. Two hours ago, we were having a heated argument, full of frustration and now look at us laughing... Strange, no? But that's how we are.Within five minutes, I could hear some noise outside the bathroom. Perhaps, the new manager has come. Last month, when the interview was taken for this position, I and Lily were o

    KAYRA"Damn! My head is spinning as if it would burst any time soon.", While striding through the garden passing the club, Samar stumbled in the dark.The whole garden depicted the view of night sky as it was glistening with the multiple LED lights. There is no one but us as it's midnight and this garden separates the club from the residence area of the hotel. In this one week, everytime I passed through the garden, I took some time to praise it's beauty.As I was doing the same, my thoughts got interrupted by something splashing in water. Water... Where is this sound coming from? I keep following the sound until my eyes witnessed him near the swimming pool. His feet were dipped inside the water, randomly splashing on it, sprinkling tiny droplets all around his face and body. He didn't fear to be drenched, he was deeply indulged in it and I felt the same. Taking baby steps, I reached to him."Enjoying it?", I asked him, imme

    SAMAR"Mom, close the window please! It's freezing.", Tugging my head inside the blanket, I screamed but no one was there to listen to me."Mom... Ahh", I strived to say as I grabbed my head, feeling a bit dizzy.My eyes wide opened as cold breezes fell upon my face, tickling my skin. Wrapping the blanket all over my body, I went to close it, half asleep. It's frustrating when something disturbs you in your deep slumber. Shutting the window, I strode towards the bed again, only to find that I'm not in my room."Fuck, where am I?", I muttered in frustration. My head was being disastrous as the pain rose with every passing second.It's looking like hotel's condo but it's not mine. What am I doing here? Who took me here?"Is anyone here?", Cold shivers carried to all of my nerves as I left the blanket on the bed. I realised, I was shirtless. My shirt is gone too!Finding no one in hall, I attempted to search for my shirt but got nothing.

Jerking her hands, I abruptly got up to throw up yet I was too late. My shirt was filled with all the disgusting things as she took me to the bathroom. She didn't even complaint of stinking."Sit here.", She ordered me while taking some tissues for wiping my face. Without any argument I obeyed her and sat on the counter."Can I doff your shirt?", I nodded as soon as she asked for my permission. How can I ever deny her? She is Kayra, my Kayu, the one for whom I was waiting since ever.She took off my shirt, wiped my body and rinsed my mouth as my eyes were fixed on her. She was looking so adorable, taking care of me.

    KAYRAIt was being hard for me to look directly in his eyes. I felt nervous just like a teenager girl who blushes everytime she sees her crush. Hell! He is definitely not my crush. He can never be. I tried to be composed as if nothing happened to me. "Can you leave my way please?""No, I can't.", His reply slammed me on my face. "Stop irritating me.""Aww! So the bold Kayra is gone now? Who is not afraid of anything...is irritated with my actions! Not bad, Samar.", He slightly praised himself by patting on his own back. "Listen""What?""You are driving me...""Crazy?", He completed my words while chuckling. I passed him a dead glare yet he grinned at me."Oh gosh! You almost had me.I literally fell for you", I mocked in a blank tone and walked past him. Still he was not ready to leave me alone as if he swore to irritate me to the extent. "Okay Ms. Kayra. Leaving you for now. But be ready in the evening. We have somewhere to go.", Saying this he smirked and went back to his condo

    SAMAR "Huh", She didn't take my hand and stood up with a jerk. "Don't you want to have a CEO in your friendlist?", As she stomped off to the bedroom, I followed her, maintaining a feet distance, saving myself from vexed kitten. She glared at me, penetrating deep into my eyes with my statement. "I don't like to show off. Anything else?""Umm... Yeah! I...I...", My mind suddenly stopped working. Oh god, this girl! I swear I'll make her pay for taking me granted when she'll accept my friendship offer. "Mr. Boss, if you're done with your contemplation, can you?", She pointed towards the door and I passed a blank look to her. "I'm not going.", Without waiting for her permission I sat on the couch as if it was my room. She was pissed off indeed. "Don't you think it's trespassing?", Her gaze pierced deep into my eyes and her face bore the most annoying look. "But I asked you for your permission before entering... Your allegation is bas

    SAMARI was waiting for Lily desperately in my cabin when I heard a knock on my door. I knew who it was."Lily, come inside.", My heart was throbbing a bit faster with every passing second. Deep in my heart I just hoped to hear something good. I just hoped that Ms. Kayra is okay with staying at her position."It went well.", She smiled at me. All my burden was gone in an instant. I felt like my brain had blocked the path of blood since yesterday and after hearing this soothing news, blood drifted across my body effortlessly, calming me down."That's a relief.", I said. Yet something in me was not okay. Something troubled me like hell.********My shadow followed me as I was walking in the dark on the ground. Misty clouds drifted away from the full moon as my eyes couldn't help but gaze at it as if it was unavoidable. I was coated with

    LILY"Let me take this shirt, I'll pursue her.", I spoke as his eyes widened."You? How will you? It's my fault, no? Logically, I should do it.", He explained."But being your secretary, I should clear your mess.", Striding towards my small cabin, I picked up the shirt and went to the hotel.***********"Hey, Kayra! How are you doing? Can we catch up for a while?", As soon as I met her, words escaped from my mind automatically as if I was prepping for it thousand of times."Sure, ma'am.", With a smile, she replied. We walked to garden with a tight-lipped smile with only silence engaging us. Maybe she too was hesitant to talk."Last night... I'm...", I strived to kick off the conversation but her words stopped me in midway."Ma'am, if you are going to fire me for last night just hint me, I'll resign on my own. You don't have to do that.", My eyes wide opened as I looked at her. I didn't know she would react like this. Samar, wha

    SAMARI was whining aloud, complaining about Kayu when a familiar voice hit my ears, interrupting me. I knew who it is, Ms. Kayra. Her words somehow distracted my wandering soul, who was in search of his long-lost soulmate. Didn't know from where an idea popped up into my mind to ask her about her childhood. Well, I was trying to find my Kayu. Possessed me, stood up in rage as she was not ready to tell me about it."Hey, wait!", She grabbed my hand immediately delivering a sudden electric shock inside me."What?", Without looking at her, I asked."Sir, I... I like you... I mean your shirt... Where did you get it? I'll buy it for my friend.", She could finally able to form a excuse to make me stay."What the...!", I almost cursed because of her lame excuse. Perhaps, she too was swearing inside."I'm sorry.", She immediately blurted out, loosing her grip on my shirt."Have you lost your mind?", Spinning around, I sneered at her as her rea

With a sigh of relief, I turned my face to look at him, his eyes widened in confusion. I wanted to cover my mouth right then but I needed to be stable, no?"You can't trust me, for I'm just an employee to you, and you only hired me one week ago. So yes, you can't trust me yet.", Covering my actual motive, I strived to explain and diverted him from where I'm coming from."Well, got a point there. I shouldn't trust you.", While glancing at the cloudy sky, he said. He didn't take my bait. I was frustrated as well. This revenge game... My heart yearned for years to end this as soon as possible, not only for me but for Ms. Clan too. Deep in my heart, I just hoped that she'll not use me again for her. I can't work for her anymor

He still didn't realise my plan and I am on good terms with him. Ah! I had a narrow escape today. I need to be precautious.A sharp shrieking sound could be heard as my eyes fell upon my phone. It was Neil. I received the call."Yes Neil.", I went to a blind spot where no CCTV was available. "Need to tell you something. When can we meet?", He replied being desperate."This evening.", I told him. "Okay, cool then.", He hung up the call.'What now?', I could only ask myself. So far, my life is awfully complicated, I don't want it to get more complex. My childhood was completely ruined by Ms. Clan and my youth...

As soon as I received the call, I shifted my gaze from her."Lily, Didn't I tell you to postpone the meeting?", Walking towards the window, I tried to scold her. I was about to hang up only then did she mumbled the actual reason."Sir, your grandfather... He is here.""What? How? He was in Tokyo, right?", I could only utter that. My mind has stopped working right then. Why did he came to my office? Now, what's cooking in his mind? "Listen, I'm not coming.
