19 Police Station

Laras was just silent when her body was slowly laid by a middle-aged woman who seemed to be the owner of this place, Ratna. An illegal midwife who is very popular among young Jakartans who are hungry for experience. Ratna's name will appear first if she asks who can abort the womb.

Here is Laras, in a soundproofed room containing only a simple set of mattresses. Being alone with Ratna, gave her goosebumps half to death.

"I'd give you an anesthetic but I can't completely relieve the pain." A syringe was taken out of her pocket. It made Laras shudder, wanting to run away from this place.

"I'm injecting, okay?" Slowly, the sharp needle was about to stab Laras arm, but failed and instead fell when the door was suddenly smashed with force.

Brakk!!

"Do not move!!" Three policemen pointed guns.

The woman named Ratna immediately stood up, while one of the policemen immediately arrested her. Laras didn't know what to do, she just kept quiet before a woman pulled her arm hard. "Come on, come with us!!"

"I'm not involved!!" Laras screamed as her body was dragged out by the woman named Sindy. Investigate a calibaration, she is a policewoman disguised as a pregnant woman to trick the officers.

Two police cars were parked at the end of the path, on the side of the highway. Laras could see Nindy who was standing on the edge of the police car, it looked like she was being interrogated. No wonder when Laras entered Nindy, she didn't follow, it turned out that she was already secured by the police.

"What did I say! Don't ever deal with illegal things, Ras! What's more, see the consequences for yourself." Nindy continued to express her emotions as they were led to get into the police car.

"This is if we are arrested and continue to be proven guilty, what is the punishment, huh?" Laras ignored Nindy's scolding and instead asked a question.

"Ten years, I guess."

Plakk!!

"It's not enough for you to embarrass the good name of your family, now you want to throw yourself in prison? I really don't understand your line of thinking. What do you want, anyway?!" Yuni shouted loudly after slapping Laras on the cheek hard. The woman came with a face filled with anger, then without warning landed a slap on the cheek of the nephew. This, of course, got the attention of many people, especially the journalists who were covering the news.

"Aunty, please. Not here." Laras begged.

"Not here what?! You're embarrassed, aren't you?!" Laras bowed her head deeply. Her fingernails couldn't stop scratching the skin of her hands until they bled.

"I only follow information from the internet, sir. The rest I don't know anything about." Laras said when the police asked for his statement.

"So you haven't done that yet?" Laras shook her head.

"Then did Sister Ratna do something to you? Like injecting liquid or something?" Laras shook her head again.

"I was about to give myself an injection, but it failed because the police had arrived." The policeman typed Laras' answer into the computer.

"Why do you want to abort your pregnancy?" Is the most sensitive question right now. Laras tried her best to hold back the tremors in her hands. Cold sweat began to drip from the forehead, also the head that was attacked by dizziness. Really, if Laras couldn't control herself, she might have been crying and screaming like a madman here.

"I can not answer." Laras said so. Instead of ending in tears, Laras would rather keep his mouth shut.

"Okay, after analyzing, it turns out that you are just a victim of the information circulating. So, you can go home." Laras nodded. With a slight wobble, she exited the examination room.

Nindy, who had only been able to bite her lip because she was worried, could now breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Laras come out. She immediately embraced her best friend's body, stroked Laras' tense back and whispered that everything would be fine. "It's okay, it's all over."

"Finished where?" Yuni interrupts. The woman stood up and looked at Laras with low eyes.

"A woman like you has never been properly educated. To even have such low thoughts." Laras was silent. She wanted to fight back, denying that her parents, especially her mother, always raised her properly. But she refused to argue, because this was her own fault.

"If you weren't my only nephew, I wouldn't want to pay a high-priced lawyer to stop your case."

I see. Turns out Yuni hired a lawyer. It's just a day to finish. Laras thinks this problem will last up to a week.

"Today you come home, don't stay at your friend's house. Stop bothering other people, it's enough for you to trouble yourself."

Laras was forced to let go of her hand with Nindy when Yuni dragged her body to get out. Finally, the feeling is back again. Cloudy thoughts about how her life will be in the future, the fate of herself and the child who is on the verge of going and surviving.

Will Laras go back to doing stupid things like before? Like taking high doses of medicine or slashing her arm deeply until she was unconscious for three days?

"You are stupid, very stupid. Even though you could have used me to help your problem. But instead you chose to solve it yourself and ended up in chaos." Iwan said firmly, with a little cursing of course.

Yuni has returned to the office, she said the woman couldn't come home tonight because of a meeting that had to be attended. So, there was only Iwan and her mistress who was relaxing, with her feet deliberately raised on the table. Meanwhile, Laras sat on the floor with her head down.

"You want to know where Randi is?" Laras cash looked up, staring at Iwan with bulging eyes. "Oh you know?"

Iwan nodded cheerfully. "It's easy for me to find someone's whereabouts. Moreover, he left traces that are still in this city."

"Who? Is Randi still in town? Where is he? Tell me! I'm going to him!" Laras asked impatiently, he even shook Iwan's arm which ended up being pushed away annoyingly by Mirna.

"Calm down, Laras. It's not over yet, don't be depressed yet." Laras closed her eyes to muffle her mounting annoyance.

"What do you mean Uncle?"

"You don't have to worry about your future. There will be a man in charge of you and your future child."

"Uncle, please speak clearly. Will Randi be responsible?" Iwan laughed. "So hope you and Randi?" Laras clearly nodded firmly. Her heart said that Randi would not leave her just like that. He must be back.

"So when did Randi come here for responsibility?" Laras asked.

"You'll find out later."
