13 Blood

Laras ignored Nindy's screams from the corridor. She was still running fast towards the parking lot. Opening and removing Nindy's car from there blindly. Because, for God's sake! Is it true that Randi will change campuses? So, why didn't he tell Laras about this? Could it be that he just wanted to avoid responsibility? Because last night, the man said that he just wanted to be alone, to calm himself down. But a joke this morning made Laras frantic to death.

What if Randi really left? Leaving Laras with the disgrace they both did on that sinful night?

If so, does Laras have to plan where she can commit suicide? Or how did she kill herself? Ah! Or if he still wants to live, she just needs to find a dukun and ask the dukun to eliminate the fetus in her womb?

Blam!!

"Randi!!!"

Laras shouted loudly in front of the towering gate. Usually the gate was left open all day, but somehow this morning it was closed. With a lock that fits neatly in the middle.

"Randi!!!

"Randi, get out!!"

"Mommy!!!"

"Mommy, it's me, Laras!! Mommy please come out!!"

Laras' voice was almost gone because she shouted loudly many times. Her chest tightened, her hands began to shake violently. Tears were already streaming down, down her pale, powder-free cheeks. Laras sat right in the middle of the gate. With her hand holding the big lock, she shook it. I hope the lock will open by itself.

"Mommy? Laras is pregnant with Randi's child, Bun. Where are you?" Shhe whispered as she stared blankly at the road ahead.

Randi's house complex is a complex with a quiet atmosphere every day. No matter holidays or weekdays, it's always quiet here. The occupants are always busy outside the house and come home just to take a rest after a long day of work. So, don't be surprised if Laras cries so hard that she faints, no one cares. Even sadistically, Laras could have committed suicide here. Simultaneously downed the pills he got from a psychiatrist so he could fly straight to hell. Luckily, her body will be found two days after now by the garbage collector.

Satisfied with crying, still sobbing, Laras opened her sling bag. Take out the cellphone from there, then rush to call Randi.

The number you are calling is not active.

Five times, the damn operator answered the call that Randi should have picked up. Laras sighed tiredly. Unable to make sense, she called Ratih. Hope the kind lady picks up the phone and says where they are now.

The number you called cannot be reached.

Shit!

Has Randi informed that Laras is pregnant with his child and that their family has moved to a place that Laras didn't even know about before?

Think so, because Laras couldn't see the line of vehicles that were usually parked haphazardly in the courtyard. There was neither Ratih nor Randi's car, especially his father, who rarely came home.

Then, what should Laras do?

She was just about to type in the keyword 'traditional birth attendant' on the internet, but unfortunately, Nindy also had a wide picture that filled the screen.

"Laras, where are you?" Nindy immediately asked Laras with a worried tone.

"Ras? Are you okay? Where are you? I want to meet you. At Randi's house? How are you? He's still at home, right?"

Laras didn't say anything. She just looked down while biting her own arm in an attempt not to sob.

"Ras? You're not crying anymore are you?"

Laras' cries broke. She cried loudly as she called out to her mother. This made Nindy panic on her own. With a groan, she continued to shout, asking where Laras was.

"Nin, I want to come with Mamah." Laras whispered before his vision started to blur. She still had time to say Randi's name before her body fell to the ground.

"Give me Randi's address!" The two men who were eating fried rice almost choked when suddenly Nindy approached them with a ragged breath.

"What's wrong?" asked one of them.

"Don't ask too many questions! Quickly tell me, where is Randi's home address!!" Nindy said with a bit of annoyance, until her face turned red.

"What are you doing, anyway? Randi has also moved."

"Don't ask too many questions, tell me quickly!!" Seeing the furious face of Nindy, one of them took out his cell phone.

"Where's your number? I share the lock." He said calmly.

"That's it." He said after sending a location on Nindy's number. "But, it's very unlikely that you will meet Randi there. Because before the number was not active, he had said that he had arrived at his new house."

Nindy ignored it, she just thanked him briefly and then ran to the highway to find a taxi.

Nindy sat nervously behind the driver. She repeatedly called Laras and ended up getting no answer. I don't know what happened to the girl, but it's definitely not a good thing. Nindy is afraid that Laras will do the stupid things she used to do when they were still in high school. Laras will not hesitate to make a very deep cut on her arm. Which of course ended up making her a resident of the hospital inpatient room for a whole week.

Because of that, Nindy was afraid that Laras would do the same thing, or even be more dangerous than that. Because the person he loves the most leaves without saying goodbye. Sometimes Nindy is very grateful that Randi has been present in Laras' life later this year. Because maybe, without Randi, Laras will still be loyal to going back and forth to psychiatrists because of her sometimes unstable mental state.

Nindy also fully knows what happened to Laras to that point. However, there was nothing Nindy could do other than stay by Laras' side, no matter what the circumstances. Because of that, Nindy was very worried about Laras' condition when she heard the news that the girl's parents had died in an accident. Nindy thought Laras would be depressed. But thankfully again, Randi didn't leave him alone. Even though Laras' face isn't as bright as it used to be, at least he didn't hurt herself.

About fifteen minutes because of being stuck in traffic, the taxi Nindy was riding in entered the elite complex. It only took about three hundred meters from the gate, she could already see Randi's house number 31.

At first Nindy was normal, because she thought Laras was inside. But when she saw Laras' body lying on the ground, right in the middle of the gate. Nindy immediately ran quickly to her.

"Gosh, Ras. What are you doing?" She held Lara's head. She patted her pale cheeks. "Wake up, Ras."

Nindy glared when she saw the blood flowing from Laras' feet. What blood is that?
