Separated Due to Differences
Platitudes

"Regarding you because of that difference that I didn't expect, but holding you back because of the difference I didn't want either".

~Ara Sintia's

A quiet night and a clear sky filled with beautiful stars, a picture of life that is perfect for all who look at it.

but not with a woman who was standing on the balcony of her room staring at the sky because of a sense of emptiness, a feeling she never wanted.

I don't know what the woman was currently thinking until the tears fell unstoppably, her gaze blankly towards the sky, her hands clenched in anger, her lips trembling as if to say, but a word did not come from his mouth.

The night was getting late the silence was getting gripping and strong winds blew on her skin, but the woman did not care she continued to look at the sky with a smile as if saying destiny had played tricks on her.

Not feeling the light of the morning sun showed its form but the woman remained faithful to the world of her dreams, the sound of knocking on the door of the room was not able to wake up his deep sleep maybe because he did not sleep last night because he looked at the sky with sadness.

Because there was no link from inside, the mina immediately entered the room because it happened that the room was not locked.

"non, wake up in the morning let's have breakfast"

the word bi mina awakens the sleepless nonanya while stroking the head overgrown with long black hair to wake up immediately.

Mina has long worked in the family as a domestic assistant but the family considers her as a family not as a maid, because of his good attitude and honesty, he was able to make ara always pour out her heart without awkward to the mina and consider her as her own mother. But sometimes mina is not happy with the family because it feels not like a maid but like her own family, if eating at the same table with the family they do not distinguish between maids and Employers but not with mothers continued ara.

Ara loved mina more than nensi mom continued ara, according to her nensi only pretended to be good in front of her father just because he wanted property.

Feeling that someone was stroking her head, she opened her eyes slowly and saw a mina trying to wake her up.

"good morning bi"

said ara while showing her sweet smile to mina without the slightest look of sadness, at first the mina was smiling back the greeting of the fig but after the mina noticed the face closer the smile was gone and filled with many questions that flashed in the mind of the mina because it saw the eyes of a very visible fig even though trying to cover it up.

"non ara from nangis? The same story aunt non" said mina soft and looks very sincere, but ara did not want to make bik mina feel sad because she finally harbored the contents of her heart.

"ara's okay bi, last night ara flickering and immediately sleeping so the fig eyes look like this" said ara lying hide what really happened.

"if non-ara wants to tell a story, let's please aunt is ready for the horror" said the spontaneous mina because the mina is sure there is a covered fig from him and his family.

"yes dear aunt it must be" said ara while showing a smile as usual.

"yes already bi, ara shower first after that ara down we have breakfast together" said ara while moving from the bed to the bathroom.

Now ara was standing in front of the bathroom mirror while looking at herself with a sad look and now the tears that she hated so much came down again.

Ara was busy wiping away those tears, suddenly she remembered someone who had told her that a single drop of tear that fell from the fig eye was the deepest wound to that person's life.

"you must remember, never shed your tears because they are my wounds"

The words were always in his head until he stopped crying.

"cristan I love you" he said trembling

"why cris we are born with different beliefs, why should there be a religion of cris! wh why? " he said with tears coming back.

Cris is the name of Cristiano erfando, the man he loved so much, the man who should have been beside him, making a sacred promise together before the same god. But this is very different now that the man is no longer with her because it is hindered by belief.

Soon ara also realized from his crying and immediately cleaned his body.

Twenty minutes later came the fig out of the bathroom with a towel covering part of her beautiful body, she went to the closet to pick up clothes and wear them then dried her hair and went downstairs to have breakfast together.

Arriving below, ara no longer found her father at the table eating there is only mother.

"finally down too young lady"

he said while looking at the cynical fig, it was very desirable to curse but he still respected his nensi as his mother and because the age is also far above him.

Ara pulled one of the chairs and sat down without a word coming out of her mouth, she saw bi mina and several other servants standing waiting for them to eat while bowing their heads in respect.

Usually if the father of figs come to breakfast with them then the mina was told to have breakfast together, too, but if his father is not there then nensi will make mina stand with the waiter at the dinner table to wait for his master to finish breakfast. Ara was silent not to argue because he felt free to argue wasteful energy according to him.

"you haven't seen Cristan lately"

nensi broke the silence between them.

"it doesn't have to be every day"

Speak without seeing the interlocutor.

"you when spoken to see the person ara" said nensi raised his voice.

"it seems like my appetite is gone"

The figs put the spoon back on the plate and hurried to leave the dining room without talking back.

Nensi looked at the back of the fig who left the dining room sharply while saying inwardly

"what the child is hiding, why not as usual is there a connection with the family cristan" said nensi in his heart and slammed the spoon hard, so that made mina and the other servants surprised and turned to him.

"what are you looking at? Quickly clean!" he then stepped out of the dining table.

Their rush to clean the table seemed to dare to refute the words of his employer.

"it's appropriate that non ara prefers stories to us compared to his mother does not know himself" said iyem one of the maids at the fig house.

"just keep your talk iyem can't be like that with our employer" said siti cautioned iyem, even though the bells heard the words of the two of them without wanting to join in talking about the employer.

"yes let's take it back and wash it after that we can rest" said Mina mediate the conversation between the two.

"yes come on" replied siti

Then they stepped up and brought the dirty dishes to wash.

In the fig room leaning his body on the side of the bed while daydreaming, I don't know what is now a burden on the girl's mind to make her not leave the room.

*don't forget to leave your imprint yes let me keep the spirit of nulis😊
