"L-Let us go ..."

"We have a family ..."

"W-We're begging you .."

Only crying and pleading can be heard in a room without any equipment. There were ten women standing with the towel wrapped around their bodies .. and I was one of those ten women.

My lip almost bled from holding back my loud crying. I just sobbed as I clung tightly to my towel wrapped around my body.

There were three armed men guarding us while there were large guns. It smokes and looks sticky at us. Meanwhile, we women lined up and just waited for someone to come into the room for us to buy.

I still have many dreams in life and I still need to resurrect my two siblings who are left behind now.

I don’t know why I’m being punished like this. I do nothing in my life but just work hard to keep my brother alive. But what about now? I was gone and the cans in our little house were about to run out. How are my siblings? Who will protect them? Who will feed?

I sobbed even more because of the thought. I felt sorry for my brother. They are too young to experience living alone. They haven't yet so why am I being punished like this? I’m not doing anything wrong!

"Shut up! You hurt your ears!" I pressed the bite to my lip to suppress my loud sobs for fear that our heads might explode.

We have been locked up in an unknown place for three days and now the buyers are coming to us. I don't know why we need to look like this — not wearing anything. Only a thin towel wrapped around our body and nothing else.

"Let us go!" Shout of a female captive like me. Every time they begged us to leave here, I hoped that they would be kind and do what we asked, but in three days of repeated pleas, no one listened to us.

The men ignored the woman and focused on the man who entered our room.

"They're here ..." I heard the intruder say so my hair stood on end and my heart beat faster.

"We're begging you !!" Another shouted but no one noticed him.
