The three men led two young men into the room. The eyes of the two youths were covered in jet-black clothes. Arriving inside, the three men removed the blindfolds of the two young men. They ordered the two young men to sit on the chairs there.
The two youths who had no other choice immediately obeyed the wishes of the three cruel-faced people. They knew it would be useless to fight back. As much as possible, they should buy time to wait for better opportunities to come.
One of the two young men looked around him. The room they were in was huge. The shape is a square. Each side is fifteen or sixteen meters long. On each side, there is a door. The young man looked at an open door. He realized they had entered through that door.
The boy looked at his friend. Just like himself, the friend also looked resigned. But unlike himself, who immediately made observations of the room where they were now, his friend just sat looking down. He was busy looking at the floor made of grayish-white tiles.
“First of all, we apologize if you both feel that we treated you inhumanely.” One of the three ruthless-looking men opened his mouth. Unlike before, this time, the words that escaped his lips sounded very soft.
“Hey! You with thick glasses! Our friend is talking. Please don’t stare at the floor.” The second man, who had a thick beard, rebuked the young man who just looked down since those people opened the cloth covering his eyes.
The bespectacled boy looked up. But he didn’t utter a word. Nor does it show an irritated facial expression.
“Good,” said the bearded man. “Please continue.”
The man who had started the conversation took a deep breath. He was ready to continue his speech. Unlike his two friends, his face was spotless. No mustache or beard.
“May I interrupt for a moment?” The youth who had been observing the room raised his right-hand high.
“What is it?” The third man snapped. While stroking his thick mustache, the man looked so intently into the eyes of the young man who had not lowered his right hand.
“May I go to the restroom?”
The clean-faced man laughed. He signaled to one of his friends to lead the young man to the toilet.
Turns out the toilet wasn’t far at all. One of the three doors that were still closed was the door to the toilet room. The door wasn’t locked at all. The man with the bushy beard opened the door with one jolt.
“Don’t take too long. Just two minutes!” He whispered in the young man’s ear. His voice was so scary.
“Wait a minute!”
Before the young man could step into the toilet, the man with the thick mustache shouted loudly as he walked closer to them.
The young man turned around. The man with the mustache was now standing in front of him.
“Take off your jacket!” The man pointed to the dark blue jacket the young man was wearing.
Under such circumstances, it would be wise to comply with the cruel man’s request. The jacket immediately changed hands. The man with the thick mustache moved away from the toilet door. He walked back into the middle of the room, where the bespectacled youth was still sitting with a stiff body.
“Let’s wait until your friend comes back!” The clean-faced man said in a gentle tone. The young man looked at the man. He just realized that the person’s appearance differed greatly from the appearance of his two friends.
About two minutes later, the toilet door opened. The desperate youth came out with light steps. The man with the bushy beard followed behind him. Almost no distance.
The man with the mustache returned the jacket to the young man. He then invited the clean-faced man to continue his words.
“You’ll have to be here for a while. We can’t say for sure how long you’ll be here. Nor can we tell you why we brought you here.”
“The point is, you two have to wait here for just a few hours. Don’t worry, although we don’t know how long you will have to be locked up in this place, but we dare say that in less than twelve hours, you will be released.”
The two youths looked at each other. Twelve hours was definitely not a short time.
“Behind that door.” The clean-faced person pointed at the door opposite the toilet door. “There is enough food and drink. You won’t go hungry or thirsty.”
“Do you understand?” The man with the thick beard folded his arms in front of his chest.
“There’s one thing I have to ask!” The young man in the blue jacket raised his hand again.
“Please ask!” The clean-faced man nodded.
“Where’s our friend?”
“You mean your chubby friend?” The man with the thick mustache took a step forward.
The young man nodded.
“Don’t worry, he’s all right. Maybe he’s resting in the next room now.” The man pointed to another door, which was the one opposite the door where they had entered.
“Come on, now let’s go see your friend.” The bearded man walked straight to the door. The two youths immediately followed in his footsteps. Behind them, the other two men also inched closer to the door.
The door was wide open!
They all quickly entered through the door. The space behind the door was not as big as the previous room. However, unlike the previous room, which was empty, containing only two chairs, the room was packed with goods. A fat young man was lying on one mattress there.
“Ah! You two have arrived!” The burly young man turned around. He put down the book he was reading.
“No way if you didn’t hear that we were in the next room!” The bespectacled youth’s voice seemed to hold back anger.
“Sorry! You know, when I’m reading, I tend to forget about my surroundings.”
“That’s no excuse!” The bespectacled boy widened his eyes.
“You see for yourself that your friend is nothing short of anything.” The clean-faced man smiled. “Excuse us now. Maybe we’ll be back in eight or ten hours.”
Without saying another word, the three men left the room. They left by leaving the door of the room open. The three youths could still faintly hear the door closing. The three men had left the large room next door. They really left the three young men in that strange place.
The bespectacled youth immediately stood up. He looked at his two friends.
“I already tried it.” The fat young man rose from the mat. “The door is completely locked. There’s no way to open it.”
“So we’re just going to stay here until they come to free us?” The young man in the blue jacket said those words while looking around the room where they were.
“Here we can rest,” said the fat young man. “In the other rooms, there’s food and drink. There’s also a toilet. We don’t lack for anything.”
“But this is like being in prison,” said the bespectacled youth.
“So what if we are in prison?” The fat boy looked at the young man with the glasses. “We won’t be here long. Think of it as a vacation.”
“All this time, what are you doing here to pass the time? They caught you six hours earlier than us.” The young man in the blue jacket was curious.
“There are a lot of books here for me to read. I don’t feel bored at all.”
“How many books have you read?”
“Three books. This third one was just finished when you came in.”
“What’s in this book?” The young man with glasses pointed at the book on the mat. The book that the fat young man had been holding in his hand when they entered the room.
“Why don’t you read it yourself?”
“I’m too lazy to read it. I hope you don’t mind telling me what it is.”
“Right!” The young man in the blue jacket approached them. “Of the three of us, you are the most avid reader. You are also the fastest at reading. So how about now, to kill time, you just tell us what you’ve read here.”
“It’s too much if I have to tell you the contents of three books. I’ll just tell you the contents of this book, okay? The last book I read.” The fat young man pointed at the book on the mat.
His two friends nodded.
“All right! You two, listen carefully. Now I’ll start telling the story.”
The three men led two young men into the room. The eyes of the two youths were covered in jet-black clothes. Arriving inside, the three men removed the blindfolds of the two young men. They ordered the two young men to sit on the chairs there.
