Coldness.

Numbness.

Dizziness.

New opened his eyes and was greeted by darkness.

The only light in the room seems to be both natural and artificial. He couldn't tell if it was morning or afternoon.

His vision was sleep-blurred and untrustworthy. All he could see were moving shapes of light and dark. He rub away the sleep fogging with his fingers.

He tried to remember what happened and when the memories came struck him, he pouted and started to sob. He told himself to be strong, but who was he kidding with? He didn't know how long he was being locked and if night came soon, that's mean the trauma from those darkness moment from his past would began to haunt him again.

He sat up, crawling toward the door and reached for the doorknob. He tried to open the door but like he expected, it still locked. So, he bang the door while yelling.

But, nothing.

Useless.

And...

Worthless.

That was until when he heard his cat meowing from in front the door.

"Polar..." New called weakly.

Polar shove his cute paws under the door, like giving strength to its master.

"If only you could understand me, would you please help me out from here, Polar?" He knew it was useless and sound nonsense to ask help from an animal, but he couldn't help but to approach that way

New rest his head to the door. His head started to feel heavy. He rubbed his stomach, the growl from his tummy was growling loud enough, probably loud enough to scare the cat. Because soon, there was no sign of his cat in front of the door anymore. Polar left him all alone.

New crawled again at one spot in the room where seem bright more cause of the light from the outside. He lied down in the middle of the room, lied on the floor desperately, lied like a fetus and soon blackness greeted his sight.

"So, can I go to his room and wake him up by myself?" The prince - Tay Tawan asked once again when no one from the family replied him.

Suddenly, Tay felt someone or something was pulling his pants. When he looked down, he saw a white cat was biting his pants while looking up at him. The cat definitely asking for some attention.

"Oh! I'm sorry your highness. This cat is really troublesome." Godji said and tried to shove the cat away from disturbing the prince, but Tay stopped her.

"Wait! I think the cat want to show something."

"Hahaa!" Oab laughed awkwardly. "How did you know my prince? Are you perhaps know animal language?"
