Anta's Diary
S2 - Underground Warehouse
A girl named Micah had just come home from school she passed through a cassava garden. The atmosphere at that time was already dark because it was cloudy to see how the trunk of the cassava tree was broken and made the journey more difficult because a man was plucking the cassava.
"May I not surprise you" said the man.
Of course Micah was surprised to hear the heavy voice of the man.
"How are your parents?" ask the man.
"Okay" Micah said.
The wind blew even firmer until it made the ten-year-old girl's black hair shake. Micah was in the sixth grade, the same school as the one occupied by the King.
"I just made something here. You want to see it?" tanyakanya.
"I'm getting cold, and I want you at home before dark" Micah said.
"It's dark now, Micah. Why are you coming home so late?" ask the man.
"Ummm.. I'm out of group work making parallel electrical circuits."
"Would you like to come to my house for a minute? Look it's already starting to drizzle."
Micah should have refused and had to leave, but unfortunately the girl instead complied because she knew the man.
"I've made a small hiding place" said the man.
"I can't see anything" Micah said.
The man looked at the little girl with a strange look. Even the man began to look at the girl's passionate body.
"You must look more closely, Micah. Try again," he said.
The man then crouched down and knocked on the ground.
"What's that?" ask Micah.
The girl even stomped her feet to the ground nearby.
"It was wood to hold the entrance down so as not to collapse" the man said.
"What the hell is that?"
"Come, look!"
Somewhat hard to get inside, they had to bend down to enter that hole. Micah was so amazed to see a chimney that it would suck out smoke if the man lit a fire inside.
"It's really cool" Micah said, though he could barely stand up straight.
The man sat in a chair there.
"Look around first, the safe house I made was good, right?" tanyakanya.
"Do you want to drink something?" tanyakanya.
"I want to go home" answered Micah.
"Be polite and drink this fanta, like other children who come here often" he said.
"Which kids?" ask Micah.
"And I said I built this place for hiding. Well, since a lot of neighborhood kids are here a lot, so I think I'm just making club room, how?"
Micah shrugged both of his shoulders. He began to feel that the man was lying. The man was very lonely because he lived alone. The man never married and was engrossed in his own world.
"Mikha, aren't you hot? Why isn't the jacket opened?"
Micah felt the question was true because the heat was starting to burst. The girl finally drank a sip of soda.
"I'd better go home" Micah said.
The man got up and leaned over near the stairs leading to the outside.
"Hmmm... Why do you think you can get out of here?"
"Mikha has to go home, I really have to go home!"
"Take off your clothes!"
"What?"
"Take off your clothes!" The man repeated his question.
"I'm gonna check if you're a virgin." The man began to paint a grinning laugh.
"What do you mean? I-I, I'm a virgin, really."
"I just want to make sure. Your parents will thank me."
"My parents?"
"Yes, they just want a nice girl, so I want to prove it."
"Sorry, please let me go, please let me go." Micah could no longer hold back his tears.
"You can't go anywhere anymore, Micah. You're mine now."
