The Rise of the Oppressed Girl
*BGT Chapter 9

"Sister you definitely don't want you to go by suicide. He wants you to stay alive. Otherwise, he would definitely not sacrifice himself just to protect you. Instead, you have to make those who hurt you pay for everything you've been through. Return this grief dozens of times. So that they can feel the pain you are experiencing because of them."

That speech made Cherry speechless. But, his blood was flowing rapidly. Sparking thoughts to justify what the woman said.

Cherry clasped her hand now. His gaze was straight ahead.

"Yes, what I said is very true. I won't be a weak man anymore."

The woman smiled widely.

"Call me brother! Brother Laras. Or, big brother."

That was how the spirit of Cherry was raised that night. Slowly but surely, the woman by the name of Laras transforms the weak Cherry, who is always oppressed and continues to endure all the ill-treatment into a strong woman.

The wall of the sea ledge bears witness to the transformation of a tender girl from a grudge that burns in her heart. It's a big stick, because there's a strong drive to make big changes immediately.

*Five years later.

Time passed by the humans without leaving a trace. Change was bound to happen, but no one knew for sure if that person still remained motionless from where he had stood before.

Meanwhile, who wants to change, it will show his real change. It was as if the cocoon that had now changed into a beautiful butterfly. But unfortunately, it cannot be touched if the butterfly does not want to alight with the intention of the butterfly itself. Such is a parable for a girl who was once oppressed, has now risen from her oppression.

Indeed, it takes a long time to make a change. But, every attempt would never betray the result. Moreover, the effort accompanied by prayer is also a strong intention. The result will be the same as we expected.

The city's central airport is the first witness to Cherry's return from overseas after her departure five years ago. Yeah, Cherry. The girl who used to be a poor girl with bad luck, is now much different.

She who is smart, beautiful, also has a strong determination, has now returned with a new look. Not the look of a poor shabby girl anymore. Rather, the look of a high-class girl was very luxurious and also graceful.

From the clothes he was wearing, he looked like a rich kid in general. Because of everything he wears, everything comes from a well-known brand that not many people can afford.

Cherry opened the glasses she was wearing when her foot stepped out of the airport area. With a big smile, Cherry looked around. Pay close attention to the homeland that once made him very injured.

"My city, I'm back. Everyone who has ever cut a wound, get ready now. Your karma will be here soon." Cherry said in a soft tone while maintaining a bitter smile on her lips.

"Welcome back, Miss. I was assigned to pick up the lady by big sister."

Yes, the man is a man who was a big brother alias Laras who once raised the spirit of Cherry. The existence of Cherry abroad also did not escape the help of Laras. And, the one who was now in front of Cherry was Laras' right hand. Precisely, the man who once saved Cherry when Cherry intended to commit suicide.

"Sister Letto. Where's Laras? Didn't he promise that time, that he himself would pick me up when I came back from abroad."

Letto's speechless. It seemed, there was a burden of sadness that he was feeling at the moment. But, he couldn't convey it directly now. Recalling, this person he had just met, had just set foot in the homeland. How could he directly say the burden he was bearing right now.

But, Cherry is a woman who was born with a fairly strong sensitivity. So, whatever reaction Letto was feeling, or was hiding right now, Cherry could feel it clearly.

"Sister Letto. Why are you silent? Brother Laras is fine, isn't he?"

"Miss .... "

"Call me sister. No need to call me lady. Because you call Brother Laras brother, you call me sister. We're the same, aren't we?"

The remark made Letto stare at Cherry with a gaze that was difficult for Cherry to understand. But the mood was not long. Because a while later, Letto immediately nodded slowly.

"Sister. Come on home now! There's something I want to show you."

"Wait on! You haven't answered my question, Brother Letto. Where is Brother Laras? No way he forgot his promise, right?"

"He did not forget. But, there is a big obstacle that makes Kak Laras can not come. If you want to know, you're coming with me right now. I can't explain it in her words."

With a feeling filled with question marks, Cherry was forced to follow Letto directly into the car. Then, without a single word being said, the car quietly headed somewhere.
