Since the day I rejected the idea of marriage, the security around my hut was tightened. They kept me in the village as a prisoner. Most of the villagers saw me as a man who tried to abandon my lover. Despite all this, they still allowed me to live.
After living as a prisoner for more than twenty-four hours... I had to think of a way out.
On the ninth day of our stay in the sacred village, Howe, they asked me to come to the hut of the village head. I went there with a stern face. Athena was already there, sitting beside the grandma.
When confronted with me, she embarrassedly turned her gaze away. I wanted to meet with her and ask about all those things happening, but the village head wasn't giving me the chance. Now that she presented Athena in front of me, I grew courageous.
"I want to talk with you," I directly told Athena, ignoring everyone else, including the head of the village.
