The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #42 Escape

The night is getting late, the time has now shown exactly twelve at midnight.

The silence of the night envelops the earth, only the sounds of crickets and other night insects are able to uncover the dark expanse at night.

The lights in the rooms in the houses of the residents, many of which have begun to be extinguished, a sign that everyone has already fallen asleep on their respective disputes.

Inside a large and magnificent house, it appears that the lights from one of the rooms there are still on.

Although it was late at night, but in the room, Floretta could not close her eyes. He had been locked up by Daniel in his house for several days, and he could not relate to anyone. Cell phones and all other outside world access, already blocked by Daniel.

During his time there, Flo could only interact with the servants in the house, who always faithfully brought food and all his other needs. However, the servants also made him not free to move, because they very closely watched his every move.

After the night that Daniel did not impose his will on Flo, Daniel has not seen Flo in his room since. The red stain traces the ownership of Baruna, also still on the surface of Flo's skin, which makes Daniel reluctant to see Flo.

"I've been locked up in this room for four days, but I still don't know how I got out of here." Floretta is self-suffering. There was a sense of despair filling his heart, not knowing how he could escape the scrutiny of Daniel and all his servants.

"Why am I worried about Baruna tonight so much, I have a feeling that something has happened to her." Flo rubbed her suddenly wet cheeks. Without her noticing, her tears poked as she recalled her lover. A bad premonition always flashed across his head which made him very unsettled.

"Lord! Please help me think of a way to get out of here!" Flo covers both of her hands in her chest, she desperately hopes that a miracle will help her get out of the golden cage Daniel created for her.

Amidst the turmoil that struck his heart at that moment, suddenly Flo's netra was fixed onto a glass window on the wall of his room.

"If only I could get out through that window," murmured Flo hesitantly.

Although very unsure, but somehow his legs just moved closer to the window.

Flo widened her gaze out through the clear glass of the tightly closed window. From there he could freely look around the courtyard of the house is very spacious, because the location of his room is on the second floor.

"Outside it looks lonely, it could be that Daniel's men have fallen asleep all," Flo thought guessing.

"Aaahh, if only I could escape through this window?" Flo stared pushyly out the window. The iron bars of the window barrier before him were extremely sturdy. Of course, he would not be able to get out through that window.

Although very unsure of being able to get out through that window, but Flo's two sense of sight kept on looking around, he still wished that there was a gap that could take him out of there.

For a moment, Flo's eyes sparkled. His gaze was fixed on the curtain-mounted iron hanging above the window. He remembered an action movie he had seen. Looking at the long curtains and the iron hooks, his imagination immediately revealed, and he seemed to get a brilliant idea.

"I'll try tricks like in my favorite movie. Hopefully it works." Flo curled a smile on her lips. The reckless idea that suddenly popped into his head made him feel excited, Flo was very confident that he would be able to get out of there.

Having bitter experiences living on the streets with Diaz, Flo also teaches her to be a strong woman. Climbing the window was not difficult for him.

Flo rolled up the sleeves of the shirt he was wearing and pulled a chair, placed it in front of the window that hung higher than his body. Mimicking the spiderman style, he climbed the trali there. It was also very easy for him to remove the curtains along with the iron hook.

A smile continued to grow on Flo's lips. The iron curtain hook looks quite sturdy and Flo can make sure it is also strong enough for him to use to pry iron trays on the window. The fabric of the curtains is quite long. When stretched, the length can reach the ground floor of the house.

As he continued to rest on the chair in front of the window, all his might and various efforts, Flo continued to try to pry the trali. Flo also had to do it very carefully so that what was being done was not to cause a noise, which could have been heard by the residents in the house.

After more than an hour of effort, the trali was successful in the congelnya. So, now open enough space for him to slip his body in the window.

"I can get out of here anyway" Flo said happily. Rushing tied the curtain on the window sills and trali on the other side of the window.

"This curtain is quite long. It could be a hold for me to get down." Flo continued to smile, he was very sure that with the help of the long cloth, he would be able to go down the second floor to the ground floor of the house.

After finishing tying the curtain cloth, Flo then tilted her body. Her slender body could easily slip in a fairly narrow window gap.

Holding tightly to the curtain, Flo again imitated the spiderman style, creeping slowly down the walls of the house. He was also very lucky because the wall of the house near his room was spared from the CCTV monitoring, so without any hindrance, he very easily managed to get down from the second floor of the house to the ground floor.

Flo jumped up and landed her feet in the courtyard of the house, which was covered in thick grass. Although the soles of his feet felt cold because they did not wear footwear, but all of that was ignored. There was only one thing on his mind, which was to get out, to escape Daniel's grip.

Flo then stepped back, hiding behind a grove of ornamental plants in a very large yard.

To that extent, Flo still did not encounter any obstacles. However, when he reached the main gate, Flo stopped his steps. He grabbed his body and hid behind the trees to peek. At the home security post, a man was still awake and watching a television show in the guard room.

"Wine! If the guard sees me, I'll be fucked!" muttered Flo anxiously. His eyeballs continued to spin, looking to be able to avoid the surveillance cameras installed in almost all corners of the yard.

While continuing to settle his steps, Flo held his breath as much as possible and closed his mouth tightly so as not to cause a sound that could arouse suspicion, he said, so that Daniel's men who were on guard did not realize Flo was nearby.

Flo continued to slip behind the darkness and the lushness of the other trees. Flo stopped her steps when she arrived right in front of the main gate of the house.

Flo let out a rough breath. The gate made of iron was very high and tightly locked. Lots of barbed wire on top of it. Of course, to climb that fence, it would be very difficult for him. Not to mention, he also had to continue to hide from the spotlight of the surveillance cameras that were there.

"How do I get past this fence?" Flo turned his brain back, looking for a way to get through the fence.

Behind the trees, Flo could only sit and remain silent there. His heart was immediately upset, even though no one saw him, but he still could not easily get out of the house.

"Damn it! The security system in this house is very strict. If it's like this, I won't be able to escape from here." Flo rubbed his face and got more confused.

Without knowing what else to do, Flo can only resign and stay seated in the first place.

He realized, the security system in a big house owned by a mobster like Daniel, must be very strict. In addition to having many men and bodyguards, surveillance cameras are also installed everywhere.

The clock kept turning, the night was now changing at dawn.

Although the day was still quite dark, but the atmosphere at Daniel's house at dawn was suddenly excited. Everyone panicked when they realized Flo had disappeared and ran away from her room.

The servants and men of Daniel who were on duty last night stood in rows and bowed their heads in a special room in the house.

They were all silenced with faces that looked very frightened. No one among them dared to make a sound let alone look at the face of Daniel who was sitting arrogantly, crossing his legs on his swivel chair. They were all very afraid, because after Flo managed to escape from the house, Daniel would be very angry with them.

"You're all not sober! Just keep an eye on a weak woman like Floretta you can't!" daniel snarled in a high voice.

Daniel went up from his seat and approached all the servants and men, who looked more and more frightened when Daniel was so close beside them.

How not to be afraid, in addition to cursing with harsh words, Daniel also held a gun in his hand. When he was angry, Daniel was notoriously cruel. He does not hesitate to shoot and kill people who are proven to make mistakes and harm him, even though it is his belief.

Twirling the gun with his finger, Daniel continued walking around, watching one by one the faces of the servant and his men.

"Haha!" Daniel looked up and smiled cynically. "You're all very lucky today, because I'm not going to finish you off!" he said it was a mockery.

"Let the woman go. I don't care about him anymore. There's no point that a woman who's not a virgin is in this house!" A slanted smile continued to be painted on Daniel's face. He shows no remorse at all because Flo managed to escape from his home.

Hearing the words that came out of Daniel's mouth, all the servants and men of Daniel who were in the room suddenly glanced at each other and smiled. They felt they could breathe a little. Although confused by the attitude of his superiors at that time, they were all happy because Daniel would not punish them.

"Diaz!" Daniel snorted and continued to smile wryly. "You're gonna have to pay a lot for all this!" its decan.

"Puhhhh!" Daniel blew the tip of his gun away. The look in his eyes showed anger towards someone who disappointed him, namely Diaz.
