The Sky and the Stars

In Sepi

The winds of the transition season blow quite hard to successfully fly long strands of Dara's hair.

As usual, the girl sat alone under the shade of a tree with pale red flowers, accompanied by small leaves that resembled drizzling in the fall.

With her head bowed silently, Dara began to remember every bad event she had gone through a dozen years. And the most obvious memory is the figure of the father who always gave him happiness and followed by a bad memory played by the mother. The impact up to the blows he often received instantly made his body shiver.

Dara was so afraid of her mother's harsh treatment that she often had nightmares.

Barrel came carrying a rope in his hand. His eyes emitted a real aura of hatred. Dara could see if the look of hatred was aimed at her.

As fast as the wind blew, Laras shot towards him. Without knowing what the woman wanted, Dara inched back. And when she felt her footing drift, Dara woke up from her sleep.

Without feeling the dream even almost every night came to haunt him. Dara scared. He was always curled up in the corner of his room when the dream was over. Dara felt almost crazy, probably going completely crazy.

"Non Dara?" Greet someone behind him, and it managed to drag Dara's consciousness to the situation he was in at the moment.

Dara turned her head, finding two people in black uniforms with sturdy bodies looking at her with flat faces.

Without having to ask who they are, Dara already knew the answer. Then she asked, "what else is your mother looking for me?"

"Miss Dara was asked to see Madam!" answer one of the bodyguards.

Dara could only nod slowly. Without any interest in asking anything more. The two bodyguards looked so courteous towards her, as if she was the Madam's favorite daughter.

In contrast to before, if the people of Laras' manners usually act rudely when dragging him to the big madam, it is, but this time there were only two envoys from the Madam to subdue him and coupled with the bodyguard's greeting that was really out of Dara's mind.

"Please let Non Dara come to that car over there!" Pinta one of the bodyguards while pointing towards the shiny black car parked on the right side of the park.

Dara stared timidly at the two people. "Then, my car?" tanyanya slow.

"Let the driver take care of Non!"

Dara nodded and took a step first, ignoring the two people who were walking behind her.

He felt he was a criminal, with a high crime rate, possibly a genocidal crime class[1]. Because he was herded by several pangawal people when he began to enter the kingdom LARASATI.

Actually without that kind of escort he wouldn't be able to go anywhere either. Like riding a carousel then it will circle there and stop at the same place. So what are the jongos to worry about.

Dara entered a room she had never entered in her entire life. If a normal human being can be free to enter or even play in the workspace of the mother but it will never apply to Dara. Even until his age has stepped on the number 23 years, he just set his foot here. In his mother's office.

When the looming door opened, someone appeared inside. A beautiful and classy adult woman. As usual the gaze of the woman always intimidated the opponent in front of her.

Dara stepped with her head lowered. A terrified roar was clearly imprinted on his paled face. Just saw the look of the woman's eyes alone Dara's body was shivering. And now coupled with his resolute voice jerking Dara's heart.

The girl jumped, when suddenly a map was thrown right into her face.

"Take it and read it!" That's how the Madam said.

With trembling hands of fear, Dara crouched down to pick up the sheets of paper scattered on the floor. Put the papers back into the map that was thrown earlier.

Dara began to read every detail of the letters listed there. Feeling that enough the girl also ventured to raise her head and look fearfully at the Mother.

Dara will just open her mouth to say something but Laras is back to sound.

"Bring him out." His orders were on one of the bodyguards that were inside the room. "And you're Prissa, arrange a meeting with ARISTA immediately." Tell Prissa the secretary again.

In silence it concealed many poignant stories. In silence, save a million longs. In the depths of the world there is a million hopes. Then tears are true friends in transcending those secrets.

After a few days Dara did not set foot in her cafe, today the girl decided to come there.

The few employees who saw him came immediately to greet with their friendly smiles. Here, Dara feels a little alive. Meet people who love him sincerely. The Barista deliberately Dara recruited from among students in the campus first. His younger siblings who live far from the family and need additional costs to eat or pay for expenses.

Sometimes Dara feels much luckier than those who live all the shortcomings but have the spirit to continue education in order to achieve a better life in the future. Although the mother is not as good as a mother in general, but at least the woman meets all Dara's needs completely. It's just the love that she doesn't give to Dara.

"Mbak Dara?" Siska greeted with excitement. The beautiful girl in the barista uniform immediately hugged Dara.

"Hey..so are you the same as me?" Dara returned the embrace of her employee.

Siska is not an ordinary employee, the girl is Dara's confidant. She already thinks of Dara as a brother.

"Ish...mbak Dara where to? three days to the cafe?" Siska.

"There is!" dara replied.

"That's Ma'am, that handsome Mas is here every day!" Siska gave me information.

Dara chuckled, "there's a handsome mas-mas who came here?"

Siska frowned, then began to tell the handsome figure she meant.

"On the first day he spent five cups of black coffee without sugar.sitting sweetly here until the afternoon." Dara cheers hearing Siska's story.

"Then on the second day, he arrived early. Ordering a three-glass black coffee and in the advanced with cold mocachino and froissant fill fla."

"He was out of the cafe at about 2, then did you know? He's coming back at 5." Siska laughed as she said that.

Dara nodded in disbelief at what she heard.

"And on the third day Ma'am.he bought all the cakes in the storefront!"

"Wow...," Dara said "good dong, can get rich quick we."

Siska giggles as she continues her next story. "That's The Mas-mas, Ma'am! ngadain sayembara."

"Huh?" Dara gawking.

"Yes Ma'am. Who can bring Mbak Dara to the cafe that day until five in the afternoon, then for a month can eat for free anywhere and anytime!"

Instantly, their laughter blared into the spacious kitchen space. And without them even realizing someone on the subject was observing them from the kitchen doorstep.

Stars smile, it feels happy to see Dara's laughter like that and Bintang will not disturb him for a while. Let her beloved woman let go of her fatigue here without her bothering.
