The Price of Sainthood
Lara's Fear

Unlike usual, this morning Alisha woke up less excited. The day Dante and Lara's engagement is approaching, he's not ready to let go of the man he loves for Lara.

Weird right? Alisha was even confused about herself. Love, but not fighting for it. Actually he is selfish, or too weak and resigned to circumstances? I don't know. Alisha also realized she had no stance. When he was with Dante, the desire to have the young man was very strong. However, when she remembered Lara, she felt like she was the most evil sister in the world.

Alisha doesn't know which one to go with. Heart word, or logic? He just tries to live as he should. He was used to hugging wounds.

When it came down to the ground floor, the other three residents of the house were already sitting at the dining table. Smiling clumsy, he joined in and occupied the empty seat he usually occupied.

During breakfast, there was no meaningful conversation. Only a light babble from Helena's lips tried to take her and Narendra's heart. The clueless Alisha began to be astonished by the silence Lara had shown lately. As long as he doesn't exist, what has happened?

"Alisha. What are your activities today?" narendra asked after finishing his breakfast.

"As usual, Pa. Lecture. After that continue tutoring and others."

Narendra. "Would you go with Papa?" bargain later.

"May," Alisha replied without a second thought. The girl smiled and nodded happily. "Want to be together too?" He turned to Lara, offering the girl with a big smile. Unfortunately, it was as enthusiastic as Alisha offered, but her sister seemed uninterested.

"No, deh. Thanks." Thanks."

The smile of responsibility imprinted on Lara's lips slightly stung Alisha's heart. The smile looked like it was an understatement. What would be wrong if they went together? Alisha had even imagined the three of them could have a warm conversation along the way to campus. If their relationship gets along, he doesn't mind letting Dante go for Lara forever.

However, if you look at Lara's attitude like this, how can she mengikhlaskan Dante? Lara did not even show any remorse after some time kidnapping him. Let alone apologizing, showing good faith is not. What's he been lacking all this time?

Alisha even covered up all of Lara's decay from her papa. Not because I want to look for face. He just wanted to keep the good name of the girl while maintaining a good relationship between them. But if the result remains like this, then the sacrifice is in vain.

Lara moves ahead of Alisha and her papa. Alisha herself did not want to take a headache because she thought the girl was in a hurry as usual. Coincidentally today Dante also did not come to pick up Lara. Good though. At least he didn't have to meet the young man. It was enough that Dante made her feel uneasy and unsettled.

While walking to the car with Narendra, Alisha was amazed by the existence of Lara's car which was still parked pretty in place. Other cars are also complete there. What does that girl drive to college?

"Pa, how is Lara's car still at home? What's he going to college?" The girl finally asked Narendra. That man must know because Narendra is his father. However, the answer from the man then instead made him frown in wonder.

"Either. Papa doesn't know either."

"Huh?" Alisha looked at Narendra as if dumbfounded. While being stared at just riding his car with an ordinary attitude.

"Pa. How can Papa be that calm when Lara is not clear to go to campus by driving what? If he walks, why on the road how?"

"Alisha ..., Lara's grown up. Papa's sure he can take care of himself."

Alisha flabbergasted. He almost uttered a protest sentence, but Narendra hurriedly interrupted him in a stern tone.

"Until when are you gonna stand there and shuffle your waist like that, honey? Hurry up and Papa take you to campus!"

Alisha clucking. However, even so he remained obedient and followed his father's words. From the tail of his eyes, Narendra could see Alisha's pursed lips. He kept quiet and pretended not to know. He still refused to tell his daughter about the deep disappointment he felt.

After all, the idea of punishing Lara did not come from her lips. It was all pure desire Helena who was desperate to know the lunge of her daughter who was very bar-bar outside. Maybe it was also Helena's way of maintaining their relationship. Narendra himself seemed to not care. Her heart was like numbness because Helena hurt too often.

"Serious learning, honey. Don't disappoint your mom and dad. Get your goals as high as the sky." Narendra told her when her daughter kissed the back of her hand. He then gently rubbed the top of Alisha's head.

"Definitely, Pa. Alisha will study hard."

"Good son of Papa."

Alisha waved her hand to let go of her papa. Not a few also pay attention to the rare sight. Who does not know Narendra? In addition to successful entrepreneurs, the man is also the parent of Lara. So where is the other princess?

When Narendra's car began to disappear from view, Alisha's eyes turned to other objects. Lara arrived at the campus on foot. His hair was messy and his face was sweating. Why is that so messy? Did the girl run away?

"Without?" Alisha takes the initiative to say hello, but Lara ignores him. As a result, Alisha could only observe the movements of Lara passing through her with her mouth agape.

Two events about Lara this morning made Alisha's mind become unsettled. Frankly, he hates hostility. Lara who suddenly became quiet really did not want to look at his face. The girl always dodged whenever she was near him. Until finally, an idea appeared in Alisha's mind.

***

The sun was shining very bright. The scorching hot weather made a girl who was walking sneaking sweat. Lara rubbed her wet forehead using the back of her hand. In addition to his feet sore, his throat also feels dry.

In a state of having nothing as it is now, he has no friends. Those who approach only want a treaty. And when he had no money, they stayed away at the same time. Sad, disappointed and desperate. The girl could only cry lamenting her fate. If not for a proof to the mother if she is able to survive, maybe from the beginning of serving the sentence Lara has given up and raised her hand.

Lara rubbed her wet face as the online taxi she booked came. He hurriedly climbed into the boncery then asked the kang ojol it immediately darted.

The girl looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one to see her. When in difficult times like this only one face is always remembered and makes it furious. Who else if not Alisha. Lara wants to teach the girl a lesson if she gets a chance someday.

The journey that initially felt normal was eventually interrupted by several bikers who suddenly appeared from behind together. Lara frowned, perplexed by the action of several black-jacketed motorists who seemed to surround and surround her. The five-man biker took a position in front, on the side and also behind the motorcycle taxi that Lara was riding. Then one of them called out to Lara.

"Let's down!"

Lara realized one thing. They are the thugs who threatened him yesterday. Damnit. They don't seem to be fooling around. Now he's trying to stop Lara.

"Mom, who are they?" Kang ojek asked in an anxious tone. The man was no less afraid of Lara.

"I don't know. Quickly increase the speed and run away from them!" lara's Word. However, the man in the green jacket refused outright.

"I can't, Ma'am. Why don't you just go down and solve your own problems? Please, don't take me. I don't know anything!"

"Help me just this once, sir. Increase your speed and run away from them! I'll give you whatever you ask." Lara tried to persuade him to give half of his love, although he did not know what he would pay.

"Sorry, Ma'am. I can't." Without Lara's permission, the man actually reduced his speed and hinted at wanting to stop. He's a motorist on the left side who sees the code immediately shakes to give the man a gap.

"Please don't stop, sir. Please help me." Lara pleaded with him. Even if the girl cries, the motorcycleman won't grant it. Just being bullied to such an extent that the man was already scared to death. Especially if he is really involved? He still loves life and family. He just wants to make a living.

"Down!" it was after the motor stopped.

"Sir, please ...." Lara really wanted to cry.

"No!" reject the man. He tried to throw away his pity. Driven Lara's body that seemed reluctant to get off the bike until the girl fell down because she was not ready.

Lara grimaced as she felt pain in her buttocks and palms. The two motorists even managed to hold him off before he managed to escape.

"Because of you!" said one of them after banning Lara. The girl was actually crying lamenting her fate. He stared at the taxi driver who had darted away. The arrival of the other three impostors frightened him even more. Dredged by five burly people make it chirp. He was like a little rabbit among the five great tigers. He could only wait for the time when he would be attacked.

"Where's the money you promised yesterday?" sniped one of them. Lara knew the man. He was the head of the other four thugs.

The firm grip on Lara's arm made the girl in pain. However, it was still not comparable to the fear he felt. With trembling lips, he answered. "Nothing, Bang. Give me a minute."

"Bad! How good are we, son?" The man asked his friend for an opinion. It was not a crazy idea just to scare Lara away, but a seriousness as a form of disappointment.

"God, Bang. Don't hurt me ...." Lara pleaded with her tears.

"Shut up!" hardik the man who made the girl immediately tiptoed.

"Just dig his neck!" one of the friends who made Lara round her eyes. Horrified events immediately loomed in his brain.

However, one of the others later said. "Don't! Let him die fast. What if we rape and persecute first. Isn't he good? At least we didn't throw it away in vain!"

Lara wanted to faint right then and there. The second idea is more horrible. Being gang-raped and persecuted is not the same as ending up losing lives. Even his death will be very despicable because his body is of course stained. Then the third man gave a proposal that Lara never expected.

"Why don't we just sandra him? He's a rich kid. We'll just call her parents and they'll redeem this girl for a lot of money. We're gonna be rich, man!"

Crick.

The five of them were silent for a moment and looked at each other. Shortly after thinking, finally their lips singed a smile with eyeballs sparkling with pleasure.

"You said it too!" the chairman said, patting his friend on the shoulder. His face looks very enthusiastic. "We're asking for a very large ransom. If they don't come, we'll have to sell this girl's organs."

"Agreed!"

Instantly Lara felt her gaze darken, before then she collapsed and was unconscious.
