Chapter 3: My First Day Out

Robin pov

"The earth always rotate on its own axis"

I've stopped cry. I felt so empty. I never thought that Paul would sell me out. I could take it if he clobbered me, kicked me, and let me starve. But sold? I'm not ready for that. Twenty years I was with him, but he did it to me – sold me. I threw my gaze out of the window of the car as we travelled down the road, looking at the trees. I don't know where the man whose name is Dragon would take me. Then I saw something I've never seen before, the meadows. A wide meadow spread into view, I wondered how I could have been trapped in such a very small world. Paul always told me that outside world was just a dangerous place, no more. I was lost in thought when a voice called my name.

"Robin? Robin.. Are you okay?", that man looked at me. I looked at him and nodded weakly. He still looked at me when I went back to my thoughts. 'Mom, why did you leave me? Why you didn't take me with you, I want to be with you mom.' I sighed and glanced at that man. He looked at me and I lowered my gaze to my hand. He said, "I will take you to the town to buy some clothes for you, and I should also let you get some make up." I lifted my gaze to him.

"Sir, I.. I don't understand. Why I should get some make up? I asked confusedly.

"Yeah, if you want to be sold you must be seen to be perfect." He answered me sharply.

"What do you mean sir?" I asked hesitantly. He kept silent. "Sir?"

"I will sell you as a prostitute, a whore! You got it!" I was dumbfounded, my eyes opened wide. I tightened my grip on the seat, I couldn't think anymore.

"A whore?" I whispered weakly, he is no more than a bastard like Paul.

"Robin, I know it's hurts, but this is my job. I need money to stay alive, and it's my way to survive!" he tried to explain, but I acted like he wasn't there at all. "Robin, I'm speaking to you, damn woman!" I was shocked when he yelled at me, I thought that he wouldn't shout at me and it made me afraid of him. I immediately paid attention to him. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled at you," he said. He turned, to calm himself and spoke again, "For as long as I have grappled with this job, I've never used my feelings. But now I have, and I should pay for that. Look, Robin, I'll try to do my best for you. It's out of my planning when I saw you. I can't do it, I can't do it to you, to her!" he spoke hastily, "I can see her in you, she was.." he suddenly stopped talking and then glanced at me nervously. I noticed something.

"She?" I asked him hesitantly. He turned to me nervously and I saw some sweat drop from his forehead. "Who? Who is she? Answer me Sir!" I said louder. He avoided my gaze and remained still and quiet. "Sir, answer me please" I moved toward him and forced him to speak, he kept silent but shook his shoulder harshly.

"OKAY! I LOVED YOUR MOTHER! ", he cried at me. "Our life was perfect until that fucking bastard took her from me!" He sighed for a moment, "I really loved her, but then she got married to him and had a baby. It hurts me, so deeply." His eyes turned black, he continued, "And then, that fucking bastard let her died. I really wanted to kill him!" Tears started filled his eyes, he looked at me. "But then I heard that he wanted to sell you. I thought that finally God gave me a chance to take vengeance on him. I was planning to torture you, but then I saw you look like her so, it's made my pain deeper." He took a deep breath to calm himself, "Now I can't do that, not to you, not to her." He avoided my gaze, I just listened to him in shock. I didn't know what to do, everything made me confused. I felt sick. "I can't do this, why did you leave me Olivia?" he mumbled to himself, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckle turning white. We continued along the road in silence.

We arrived in town and bought some clothes and shoes. Afterwards, we looked for a cafe to get some food and we ate in silence. After we had finished, we walked away and then I saw a bookstore. I glanced to Mr. Dragon, I cleared my throat.

"Sir, could I get some- oh, I mean one book?" I asked hesitantly.

"You wouldn't need it, you wouldn't have any time to read Robin." He answered without looking at me.

"But Sir, I.."

"Okay, one book!" he rolled his eyes, again- without seeing me.

"Thank you so much Sir, I.. "

"Oh shut up and get your book, we have no time. Here is the money." He gave me the money. I took the money and walked toward the bookstore. I missed Ohara – I mean the library, near my house. There is a big library with all kinds of book. I always spend my time there when Paul is not home. I love reading so much, Roddethe taught me how to write and read because Paul didn't send me to school. She always taught me everything. Then I saw a book, my eyes were locked to that book. A book with a black cover and one word is written over it 'Destiny'. I took the book without hesitation and paid for it. I walked out from the library and went toward Mr. Dragon.

I just followed him, then I noticed that we were walking toward the harbor. I raised my eyes questioningly,

"Sir, why are we going to the harbor?" He kept silent.

"I will buy the ticket, wait here." He told me. I just nodded and took a seat. I was lost in thought when a little girl spoke to me.

"Flowers Miss?" I looked at her softly, she is beautiful, with blond hair and light green eyes. I smiled at her and saw the flowers.

"How much are they?" I asked her. I took a flower -lavender- and lifted it to smell it, it's really aromatic. I smiled again.

"100 belli for each bundle, and it's the last lavender Miss." She smiled at me.

"Then I'll take it" I gave her the money - the remainder left over from buying the book - and she smiled at me.

"Thank you so much Miss, I hope you will be happy forever." She left me in thought, 'happy, forever', I wish. Maybe God has designed happiness for me, maybe not.

The man returned, "This is the ticket, will set out in one hour. I've prepared your goods in this bag. You want a drink?" he asked me. I looked at him but he avoided my gaze again.

"Sir.."

"I'll get you some drinks." He walked away leaving me in confusion.

I threw my gaze toward the sea beyond the window. Now I'm really alone, I don't know how my life will turned out to be. I saw a little girl laugh out loud when her father carried her and flew her like a plane on the deck, the woman beside them asked her father to stop it but they just laughed. I felt the tears filling my eyes and I remembered what Mr. Dragon said to me.

Flashback

"Robin, I'll leave you here." He spoke to me while he gave me the drink. I stared at him confusedly. "My friend will take care of you, he is a good man. You will be his maid. I've called him and his driver will pick you up in the harbor." He stared at me when I said nothing. "Robin, I only can do this for you, it's much better than selling you as a whore."

"Thank.. thank you Sir, I don't know what to say, you're so kind. I'm sorry.. I've placed you in trouble," I started crying, he wiped my tears and held my hand.

"No, Robin you haven't! Stop crying please, I can't bear it Robin." I stared him and forced a smile. He said, "Promise me you won't cry anymore." I nodded weakly. "Come on, the ship will leave soon." He brought my bag and we walked toward the ship.

"Thank you Sir, thank you very much." I whispered weakly, but I knew that he heard me. Then I followed him.

End of Flashback

The ship moved closer to the harbor. I followed the other passenger to the gangway ashore. I disembarked from the ship, walked toward the harbor and looked for the man who Mr. Dragon intended I should meet. I gazed at all nameplates and I found my name. I saw an old man holding that nameplate, his hair had turned white like his beard, maybe his age around 50. I walked toward him, he noticed me and smiled.

"Nico Robin?"

"Yes Sir." I smiled back at him nervously.

"I'm Gerald. Give me your bag, we must hurry, and we can still arrive just after midnight." He took my bag and walked away. I followed behind him. He stopped in front of a fancy black car. I don't know what the brand was, but I know that it must be so expensive a car. He opened the baggage compartment and put my bag inside, then he opened the door for me. I entered the car and was shocked. The interior of this car was so luxurious, it made me afraid to touch anything.

"You better take a nap, the journey along this road will take some hours. You must be so tired." He said to me and drove the car. I nodded once.

"Yes Sir, thank you."

I closed my eyes to get some rest. I thought about Ohara, about Roddethe, about mom. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Roddethe, I became lost in thought and my consciousness disappear.

"Nico Robin, Nico Robin, wake up. We have arrived." He woke me up.

"Oh, yes Sir, I'm sorry." I spruced up my hair and jumped out of the car. The house is huge, the biggest house I've ever seen. I looked around and saw a huge garden too.

"Come on, I'll show you your room, so you can clean yourself up and take a rest." I followed him in silence. "The others must be sleeping now." He opened the door, we entered the house. He guided me to the second floor, so I had no time to observe the house. Then he stopped in front of a room and opened the door. He entered the room, I followed him and then he put my bag on the floor.

"This is your room, and this is the key. Take a rest Robin, you will start work tomorrow." He gave me a key and walked toward the door. "Oh, I almost forget, your uniforms were set in the wardrobe" he told me before left the room.

"Yes Sir, thank you so much." Now, I'm alone. It's a simple room, with white bare walls, a wooden wardrobe, and a wooden table. I walked to the bathroom, which was also white. I took off my blouse and my jeans and entered the bathtub. I closed my eyes and felt the sensation when the warm water touched my skin. I lost myself in thought and heard nothing more.

I didn't know how long I had been asleep in the bathtub when I heard a sound from outside. I stood up and took the nearest towel. I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed.

"Hoi, open the door!" yelled a man outside of house. I tighten my grip to the towel, I kept silent, waiting for someone to opened the door. "Oi!!" he yelled again. No one woke up. I felt so confused, to open the door or pretended that I was hear nothing and kept silent. 'Well, open the door and back to your room as soon as possible Robin!' I told to myself. I walked out of the room and ran toward the downstairs. "Oi!" he knocked the door again-harshly.

"Yes Sir, wait a minute." I opened the door hastily. A green-haired gorgeous man stood up in front of me, and he was drunk! He raised his eyes questioningly when he saw me,

"Who are you, Woman??"
