Chapter 2 Desi opened her bedroom door slowly

The ticking sound of the wall clock was clearly heard in the middle of the silent night. Desi woke up from her sleep, feeling restless for no apparent reason. She got up from her bed and decided to go to the kitchen, looking for a glass of water to calm her mind.

Desi opened her bedroom door slowly, walking slowly on the creaking wooden floor. The house was quiet, everyone seemed to be asleep. However, the feeling of discomfort she felt was getting stronger. Like something was lurking in the darkness of the night.

After arriving in the kitchen, Desi turned on the light and opened the glass cabinet to get a glass. The sound of water flowing from the tap was the only sound that filled the silence. Desi drank the water while leaning on the kitchen table, trying to calm her mind that kept spinning about her feelings for Reza.

Suddenly, Desi heard footsteps. Heavy and steady steps, approaching the kitchen. She turned her head and saw Reza's figure emerging from the darkness, only illuminated by the dim light from the kitchen lamp.

"Mas Reza?" Desi spoke softly, feeling her heart beating faster. "Why are you still awake, Mas?"

Reza smiled thinly, approaching her with calm steps. "I couldn't sleep, Des. I suddenly woke up and felt thirsty, just like you, I think."

Desi smiled stiffly, turning her gaze to the glass in her hand. "I... I just wanted to drink water too. I couldn't sleep."

Reza was now standing very close to her, and Desi could feel the warmth of his body. There was something different in Reza's gaze this time-something that made Desi feel uncomfortable.

"I've been watching you, Des," Reza's voice sounded deep and soft, but there was a certain tone that made Desi wary. "You look disturbed. Is there a problem?"

Desi shook her head quickly, trying to smile. "Nothing, Mas. Maybe I'm just tired."

Reza nodded, but he didn't move. "You know, Desi, since the first time I met you, I've always felt that you were special."

Desi felt something was wrong. She wanted to move away, but her body felt stiff, as if she couldn't move. "Mas Reza, I think I should go back to the room," she said in a trembling voice.

However, before Desi could turn around, Reza had already caught her arm. "Wait a minute, Des," he said in a deeper tone. "I want us to talk first."

Desi panicked. She tried to pull her hand away, but Reza held it gently but firmly. "Mas Reza, please... this isn't right..."

Reza sighed, as if disappointed. "Desi, I don't want to hurt you. But I can't hold back these feelings anymore." He brought his face closer to Desi, and Desi could feel Reza's warm breath on her face.

"Mas, please, don't..." Desi tried to speak, but her voice sounded weak and scared.

Without warning, Reza grabbed Desi's body and hugged her tightly, making Desi feel trapped in his strong grip. She tried to push Reza away, but it was in vain. Reza was bigger and stronger than her.

"Mas Reza, please... let me go..." Desi struggled, but Reza held her even tighter.

Desi felt incredibly scared when she felt Reza's hands starting to squeeze her body. She tried hard to free herself, but Reza didn't budge.

"Des, I can't pretend anymore. I've been holding this in for so long," Reza whispered in a hoarse voice, full of passion.

Desi held her breath, tears began to well up in her eyes. She didn't know what to do, fear and panic made her unable to think clearly.

Reza brought his face closer, his lips almost touching Desi's lips. "Mas Reza, please... I beg you..."

Desi closed her eyes, feeling helpless. She hoped this was all just a nightmare that would soon pass. But this reality could not be avoided. Her body trembled, fear taking over her entire being.

Reza dragged Desi to the guest room at the end of the corridor, his hand not releasing his grip on Desi's arm. Desi tried to fight back, but her strength was far below Reza's. The guest room door was opened roughly, and Reza pushed Desi in.

Desi stumbled, almost falling, but Reza caught her again, this time in a more aggressive manner. "Mas Reza, please, don't do this..." Desi begged in a trembling voice.

Reza ignored her. He pushed Desi onto the bed, his strong body pressing down on Desi so that she couldn't move. Fear flooded Desi, making her feel as if she couldn't breathe.

Desi tried hard to hold on, but Reza pushed harder. Desi cried, her tears flowing freely, but Reza didn't stop. That night turned into a nightmare that Desi never imagined would happen.

In the midst of her fear, Desi could only pray that all of this would end soon.
