How to shorten a url in .htaccess file

I have a wordpress website with the integration of a laravel5.1 app. I use a couple views from the laravel app. How can I shorten the the following url

http://ift.tt/2hWLOWi

I would like to remove /larave-app/public/ from the url so that when they click on the link the url shows as

http://ift.tt/2hF6K83

I am not sure if I need to update the .htaccess file in the laravel-app/public folder or the .htaccess file in wordpress or in both files. Thanks
