WHEN MY FACE CHANGED
Need Your Help

Jessica came home in a hurry, ignoring the message that Vishnu sent to her via WhatsApps. He waved to one of the taxis waiting for passengers. Vishnu accidentally saw Jessica leave in a hurry to follow the woman, he pulled the pedal to run his car in order to follow Jessica's taxi.

Where is he going ? why so hurry ? not even my message was answered.

I'm sorry Jessica, it's none of my business. But I'm very curious about you. His mind and stay focused on following the taxi.

The taxi that Jessica was riding down in a tall and magnificent building, anyone can guess that it is the best hotel in the city. With a hasty step Jessica went inside and checked in so that she could go up to the rooftop and not be suspected.

Huh ? She checked in ? does he want to be. ah impossible. Looking at the look on his face it seemed like he was in a hurry to meet someone. Vishnu's inner self hid behind the wall and went to check in.

Wisnu looking for Jessica who had already gone to ride the elevator, fortunately Wisnu had asked the woman's room number to the front office and of course with a little bribe.

I don't know what Vishnu thought so he could follow Jessica to such an extent. Finally he was able to find Jessica who was climbing the stairs in order to get up to the rooftop.

What is rooftop for ? Vishnu's mind followed the woman carefully.

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a woman sitting behind her who did not know what she did Jessica also did not care, the important thing is that the woman is fine. Jessica carefully approached the woman and sat down next to her.

“Why here ?” Jessica asked looking at the scene in front of her. Jessica could hear the rest of the woman's sobbing, but she was just waiting for an answer to her question.

“You yourself for what to come here ?” The woman asked back.

“You called me if you forgot” Jessica reminded the woman. The woman turned her head for a while, then threw away her face while chuckling softly.

“Haha, I expected too.” The woman reached into her pocket, then took out a pack of cigarettes and a mouse. Jessica who saw it widened her eyes, not believing what she saw.

“Sherina ? since when do you smoke?” Jessica asked in a high tone of surprise.

“Not your business” Reply Sherina smoked her cigarette. This was not a pleasant sight to behold, it seemed that this was not the Sherina she used to know, the childish female Sherina was now exhaling cigarette smoke with a terrible expression.

“Now you can also reverse my words.” Jessica smiled faintly.

“I stress, useless.” Sherina once again smoked her cigarette. Jessica turned around for a while, then looked back at the dimly lit lights.

“How long has it been ?” Ask Jessica

“A month ago.”

“Your boyfriend knows you're like this?”

“Not”

“What if he finds out you changed like this ?”

“Leave it, it should be that people do not need to accept me.” The smoke that clumped in front of Sherina made Jessica feel sad to see it.

“Give me one” Jessica opened her hands towards Sherina. The girl gave it to him without any hesitation.

“It's been a long time I want to smoke again” Jessica exhales the smoke coming out of her mouth.

“Hahaha, since you worked I never again saw you smoke.” Sherina's smoking her cigarette again.

“Since when did you know I smoked ?” Jessica asked surprised, because he was very careful if he wanted to smoke throw tired.

“For a long time, before knowing you too I have often seen you smoking in campus rooftop.” Sherina recalled the first time she saw Jessica smoking on their campus rooftop.

Ahh, shit. So I was caught all this time ? Jessica couldn't believe what came out of Sherina's mouth.

The two humans were engrossed in their thoughts while enjoying the wind and a pack of cigarettes that were almost gone. Truly, from then on they did not stop sucking tranquilizers for them.

“So what can I help ?” Jessica asked, turning off the coals.

“You sure you can help me ?” Sherina turned her head, asking for reassurance to the woman she was with.

“Maybe ?” Jessica herself hesitated, because all this time she also could not help herself to change.

“Hah ?”

“Why ? you don't want ?” Sherina smiled obliquely, this is really not the Sherina Jessica knew. The face of this woman in front of him was really scary like being possessed by a demon.

“T-but for what ? what do you want to know about your brother ? aren't you very close ? so it looks like you know more about your brother.” Press Jessica.

“She has changed greatly.”

Silent. Either Sherina who hesitates continues her sentence or Jessica who takes too long to digest the sentence that Sherina said.

“I feel like there's something she's hiding from me.”

I felt that way a long time ago too. Jessica's inner memory remembers Sherina's graduation day.

“Isn't that a face ? Even if he's your closest person, that doesn't mean everything has to be told to you.” Jessica still hesitates to accept Sherina's request.

“You don't know Jessica. He's like a demon now.” Sherina looked hard at Jessica. But the stare can mean that in the sharp eyes there is pain that he himself craves.

“She's like a wicked stepmother.” Sherina averted her eyes, unable to endure the pain.

“If I may know, why did you say that?” Jessica asked with a full glance.

“He rarely came home even when he came home just wanted to beat me up. You know how painful it is to be beaten by your own brother ? d-dia...she even..hiks...she even almost fucked me.” Sherina couldn't tear up her tears. He recalled how surprised he was to see Erick's attitude towards him the other day.

“Sherin” Jessica's lyrics pull the woman into her arms.

Sherina no longer cared, she cried loudly in Jessica's arms. Perhaps it was the most comfortable hug he had ever felt in his life. Like a mother's embrace that calms her little daughter when her father scolds her. Very inconvenient.

“Do not be afraid, I will help you.” Jessica said at last, Sherina who was still afraid to pull herself from Jessica's embrace. Staring at the woman as if asking her to repeat the sentence she just said.

“I want to help you, don't give up ya.” Jessica smiled sincerely looking at Sherina, who was stared at nodding with a smiling face.

“Thanks”

“But I have a request”

“What ? tell me, I'll grant it.” Sherina sumringah. Just this time Jessica asked for a reward if helped.

“Back as before.” Sherina raised next to her eyebrows, confused by Jessica's request.

“Back life as it used to be, don't put it this way.” Sherina glanced at the cigarette pack in front of them.

“Ta..”

“We learn together, this is not good Sherina.” Assertively

“O-oke, I'll try.” Nodding Sherina made Jessica pull a knot on her lips. Like a mother who talks and then the child complies because he understands.

It's crazy, even women like them have tasted tobacco.

Unconsciously by the two women, there were eyes that were monitoring their conversation with faces full of confusion.

But who is that woman ? it's like I've seen it.
