Stains In Love
Ask Ane

After a discussion about the change in appearance of Stella, now no one is speaking. Two lovebirds are busy with their own thoughts. Garry was busy thinking about what she should do considering now that Stella was back beautiful again. While Stella is busy thinking about the first step to avenge her pain to Garry and Feby.

Shortly after, they arrive in front of Stella's boarding house.

“Thank you for driving me home, Gar,” Stella said.

Garry nodded. “Didn't I usually drive you home too? No need to thank, Stella,” reply the man.

Stella smiled faintly, but did not reply to Garry's words.

Garry grabbed Stella's hand, grasping the girl's soft hand while rubbing her. Garry's treatment certainly makes Stella suddenly turned confused towards him.

“Stella, I hope you want to rethink your change in appearance,”.

Stella rolled her eyeballs, then pulled her hand from Garry's.

“I told you it was my decision to go back to being myself, Gar. You may be my lover. But, I also have my own stance,” Stella said.

Garry smiled wryly. It seems that this is not the right time to talk about the new appearance of Stella considering Stella is still adamant to return to her former self.

“I understand,” reply Garry in the end.

“Then I go down first, Gar. Once again thank you for taking me home.”

As Stella was about to open the car door, Garry held her back. The girl turned her head and looked at Garry confusedly. When he saw Garry close his face, Stella suddenly avoided and turned her face away.

“Sorry,” said Stella then got off Garry's car without lingering again.

While Garry, pecking in place. The man was confused because it was not usual for Stella to avoid kissing. This made Garry suspicious. His feelings suddenly became unpleasant.

“What happened to Stella? Why does he seem to want to dodge me?” murmured Garry while looking at Stella's back that was getting away from her car.

Garry felt there was something strange about Stella's attitude. He felt as if Stella was hiding something from him but he did not know what. The change in Stella's attitude and appearance brings fear to haunt Garry's mind. The man is riled up, afraid that Stella will leave him.

Say Garry is a cowardly man. He dares to cheat on Stella, but is afraid that Stella will leave him. Yes, Garry was scared because he knew how men reacted when they looked at Stella.

Stella was a prima donna. Wherever he flashed, there would be a man looking at him with great admiration. For Garry, Stella can get whichever man she wants. And that's what makes Garry ask Stella to look simple. She did not want the other men to also look at Stella and try to snatch Stella from her.

“What really happened to Stella? Why does he suddenly want to change?” ask Garry.

“Better I ask this to Brother Ane. Surely Kak Ane knows something,” murmured and then returned to drive his car to his brother's residence.

Upon arrival at his brother's residence, Garry found Ane was watering flowers in the garden behind the house. He immediately approached Ane without thinking anymore.

“Kak Ane,” call him.

Ane. The smile on his lips slowly disappeared. When he saw Garry's face, he wanted to hit the man who had dared to cheat on Stella. But, what is power? Ane had promised that she would not show anger in front of Garry.

“What's up, Gar?” ask Ane, then go back to watering the flowers.

“There's something I want to talk about, Brother,” Garry said.

“What do you want to talk about?”

Garry scratched his nape, confused as to where to start his sentence from.

“I want to talk about Stella.”

Ane stopped her activities and turned back to look at Garry. He raised his eyebrows, confused. ‘What else does he want to talk about?’ ask Ane inwardly.

“Did Kak Ane think there was nothing strange about Stella?” ask Garry.

“Any how?” reply Ane did not understand.

“Yes ... Bizarrely. He suddenly changed his appearance. She also—”

“Do you mind Stella's new look?” ane asked, cutting Garry's words.

Garry nodded without hesitation.

“Yes. All this time he always looked simple. Seeing Stella suddenly dressing up and wearing fashionable clothes made me think that there might be something she was hiding. He must have told Kak Ane about the real reason, ‘kan, Kak?”

Ane smiled faintly, remaining calm while trying to contain her anger.

“Stella just wants to be herself. I hope you support and respect Stella's decision. That's all you need to do right now,” said Ane then left Garry before he got angry at the man.
