Boundaries (Short Stories)
Your slave - 04
Rahat's room is right beside mine
but he needs to learn his lessons
Rahat
*screaming for help*
Rahat
*has the lights off*
he always kept his room's lights on
Kawsar
(it isn't much of a punishment why is he shouting like that)
I can hear him yelling things like
"please, get me out of here."
Kawsar
(He is only tied up so that he has a back pain in morning)
Kawsar
(What's with this huge fuss?)
Kawsar
*trying to fall asleep*
Kawsar
(Is it going to be another night without sleep?)
I have insomnia so It's common for me
it’s been only an hour and half since I locked him inside
Rahat
*still has his hand tied up*
I hurriedly went near him
I don’t know what that feeling is
but I knew I wanted nothing to happen to him
there were dried tears near his eyes
it didn't take me long to realize he passed out
our butler is a part time doctor too
butler
Master... There is a possibility that he has Nyctophobia
butler
(Usually they don't come back but this Rahat returned)
I didn't feel the same warmth from him
Rahat
*sitting on the bed*
Kawsar
*sitting on a chair beside the bed*
Kawsar
Don’t disobey me again
Kawsar
*about to ruffle his hair*
The look in his eyes... he was scared of
Kawsar
*takes back his hand*
Rahat
*still has his head a little far*
he didn't call me big brother too
Kawsar
I didn't know you had a phobia...
Rahat
Dad used to use the same method to teach me manners...
Rahat
I grew the phobia when he used to lock me in the basement.
Kawsar
Why didn't you tell me that?
Kawsar
I would not have turned off the lights if I knew...
Rahat
but you also wanted to teach me manners, sir.
sir? did we come back to the zero where our bond started growing?
Rahat
how many more days do I have to obey you for you to let me go? *avoiding eye contact*
Rahat
Is there any way to pay back earlier? *clenching on the bedsheet*
Kawsar
(he wants to leave me?!)
Kawsar
what are you saying?
Kawsar
Don’t you like staying with me?
Rahat
I did... but I can't be your slave my entire life...
slave, he called himself as
Kawsar
Ain't I your big brother as you told?
Rahat
But at the end I got my lesson, sir. *says in a low voice*
did I make him desparate to leave me?
