Stain Becomes the 2nd
S2 - BC - Not Like It Used to Be
"Lara, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the sadness on Lara's face, Sherly asked.
"No papa." Lara reviewed the smile. Disguising her sadness at hearing Celine's current agony.
Sherly nodded as if believing. A few moments later he invited Angga and Lara to leave the cafeteria to the classroom where their second lecture was held that afternoon.
On the way to class, Lara stopped her steps when she remembered something. "Room, Sherly, go first to class. I want to go to the department first." Lara.
Angga and Sherly looked at each other and then looked back at Lara.
"Why go to the department room, Lara?" Ask Sherly.
"Emh, there's something I want to ask the department." Answer potluck.
Sherly and Angga looked at each other again. Both of them seemed hesitant to let Lara go alone.
Seeing the doubt on the faces of her two best friends makes Lara reassure that she will be fine and will be coming to class soon.
Angga and Sherly finally believe. The two continued their steps towards the classroom while Lara stepped towards the bureau department room.

Two hours passed, and the second lecture was finally finished. Lara who did not have a lecture schedule again that day chose to go straight home with a driver who had been assigned Edga to pick her up.
"Where are we going, miss?" Ask the driver to make sure.
"To Lara's friend's house for a moment, sir." Answer Lara.
As if to believe Lara's words, the driver drove his car to the address that Lara mentioned. Until finally ten minutes passed, the car entered a slum and densely populated area.
"Is this the address?" Lara made sure the address she was going to was correct by looking at the piece of paper in her hand. After convincing if the address he was heading to was not wrong, Lara also asked the driver to stop the car on the side of the road.
"The car can't get into that alley over there, can it, sir?" Lara asked pointing at the alley she was referring to.
The driver watched the alley that Lara meant. "Can't, Miss. The road is too narrow. Looks like the road in the alley is only devoted to two-wheelers."
Lara sighed. Though he wanted to find the location of Celine's rented house is located but the car carried by his driver could not go in there. Want to walk to look for it, Lara did not want to because the driver must have told Lara what he did.
In the middle of Lara's forest, Celine's figure appears to come out of the alley on foot.
"Sir Celine," Lara said softly as she looked at the figure who was now walking slowly while holding her stomach. Seeing Celine's current appearance that was much different from her previous appearance made Lara feel concerned.
No more Celine with fancy clothes attached to her body. All that looks is a t-shirt that looks shabby and a little bit of slump.
Lara continued to pay attention to Celine's movements until finally the figure stopped at a stall on the side of the road. From a distance that was not too far away, Lara could see that Celine was currently buying a pack of instant noodles using the money she had just taken from her pants pocket.
