Leap Dream (Love From Another World)
SERVANT
“Hana eat” aunty brought me yam in a bowl for my breakfast.
“Thank you aunty” I said directly eat it. My aunt wiped the drop of my hair and put it behind my ear. My tears are dripping, damn why I remember anything else. Yeah, that jerk guy who used to wipe my hair while we were eating.
“Why? You sick?” aunt's worried.
“It's okay aunt, I just thought if I had started working at the palace would I be able to feel together every morning like this with aunt.”
Aunty smiled at my words, “Hana, aunty will still welcome you when you come to visit” my tears are dripping again but not because of the thought of a jerk but because of the words of aunty who I have considered my own mother in this world, I hugged my aunt warm.
“Meow? (what's up?)” Poko just woke up from her bed.
“You shop is up?”
“Meow (otherwise wake up how can I ask that)” ‘fucking cat!’ my mind looked at Poko sharply.
I walked into the forest with Poko to meet Bear. Well it seems that after working in the palace I will have a hard time meeting him.
“Growl!” Bear approached us and hugged me. ‘uugh my fur pads’
Me and two of my friends walked down the river where we caught fish for the first time.
“Bear.. It looks like I will have a hard time meeting you.”.
“Growl?”
“Well, from tomorrow I will work inside the palace, maybe I will not see you often, but I will try to meet you when there is a chance.” I hugged Bear. ‘Well I will definitely work on it.’
*****
The first day I worked in the palace as a servant, Rey already greeted me in front of the gate with a gleeful face.
“You're ready to work as a waiter?”
“Yeah of course!” i'm excited.
We walked down the palace hallway, Rey taking me to meet the butler. The butler explained what the palace maid had to do. Here I was placed in the imperial concubine's palace.
“No, Hana will be my servant why she was placed in the concubine's palace?” Rey disagrees.
“Sorry prince but in the palace of concubines is indeed short of servants, so it is better to place him in the palace of concubines, this is also an order from the emperor.”
“No, she stays.”
“Rey, it's okay” cut me. “Well the butler where is the concubine's palace and what should I do?”
The butler shows the way to the concubine's palace with Rey still grumbling unhappily.
“I'll see brother.” Say Rey and pass.
The palace of this concubine is very beautiful in my opinion, how not in the front yard there are many roses that are used as a fence. There was a fountain in the middle and there was a gazebo where the concubines gathered and shared stories.
“Greetings princess Calista” butler gives greetings to a beautiful woman with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. I followed and bowed in greeting, princess Calista looked graceful and beautiful as she smiled, yet her eyes held loneliness.
“Daughter, this is Hana, she will replace the princess's servant yesterday. If princess has any need can call her.” The princess nodded “Alright then I will go.” Say the waiter's coconut and pass.
Princess Calista looked at me from toe to toe and our eyes met each other. ‘Ahh, it sucks why he just silently looks at me with his pitiful eyes’
“Hmm alright princess? Is there anything I can do?”
Princess Calista flinched then walked in front of me “how you speak differently from my previous waiter where did you come from?” tanyanya turned.
“ahh, hmm, I'm from Forestland” I replied. ‘sial why should Forestland’
“hmm, Forestland? I've never heard of it.” Calista says investigate. “Well come with me” I nodded and followed Calista. Along the way I saw several concubines walking with servants behind him.
“You see the princess she seems to ignore you because what the princess said is true.” A princess servant dared to mock Calista. However, Calista only silent a thousand languages. ‘ahh actually what happened? Why is he just silent mocked by the lower caste.’
Not accepting what the servant said, I stared at him sharply.
“Hey, a valiant waitress staring like that. Looks like you're his new waitress?” said one of the other servants.
“And a servant can say like that to a concubine of the emperor? Oh Princess it looks like you didn't teach your servant properly.” I smiled at him.
“Come to go Hana.” Calista told me to ignore them. I followed Calista and ignored their faces.
We arrived at a room with two large doors and no guards at all. Calista opened the door, it was a spacious room but looked very quiet even though it was filled with many luxury items.
“Hana, just ignore them, just leave it.”
“But why?” my question is not to accept.
“I just don't want to lose my servant, just ignore it, they can do beyond reason if you go against the words of daughter Maura” haa so the princess was named Maura, her face is not as pretty as Calista. He had long black hair tied up in such a way with a golden konde stitch on his head.
“Hmm, what other princess waitresses are too.”
“Yes, what he said might be true because every servant who serves me never long, they will resign or die, maybe this is also the curse of a princess like me.”
I was speechless looking at him in disbelief. ‘which is true is this what Maura Tumbal meant earlier? Will I end up in a world I don't know? I want to go back!’
As princess Calista's maid there wasn't much I did, I just accompanied her in the room bringing food to her room, trying to ignore the other princess's babbling while taking food. ‘haa may my patience no limit’
I brought food into his room, Calista was sitting and reading a book, he looks very graceful like an angel. ‘oh yes book, my main reason is to go to the library.’
“hmm princess.”
Calista smiled gently, “Just put it there Hana.”
“Princess, what book are you reading?”
“Book on the outside world, if I could freely see the outside world.”
“Why not just go out, do you know the princess in the outside world is very beautiful, a lot of trees and animals are funny” ‘why the outside world I instead remembered with jungle’ “also the scenery like a green rug in the village, the, a lot of children who cheerfully run around and dance in the market.”
Calista laughed a little at my babbling. “You know Hana? Of all my servants maybe you're the only one who's so passionate about telling stories like that” he's still laughing.
“Oh yes you are from the outside world that you call Forestland, what is it like there?”
“The situation is very beautiful, there is no empire and neither concubines nor servants are all friends, all help each other. The thing I love is when together making something like pudding, smooties, making coffee, sewing clothes, and more.” I remember what my friends and I used to do.
“Looks like your place is a lot of fun.” Calista smiled with her lonely eyes.
“Daughter is there another book? I want to read it.”
“You can read?” tanyakanya. “Of course.” I said at my aunt's house I have often read the same book even though I see more pictures.
Calista gave me a brown cover book with gold writing. ‘maybe by reading some books I can find a clue to go home to my world.’
I started to open the book and read it. “You why Hana? Why are your eyes watering? You crying?” calista asked, breaking my mind.
“ahh, egh, that, this I do not understand the writing.” I said with hot eyes because I was upset I could not read it. ‘What book is this? I don't even understand the letters in it.’
Calista laughed at my expression “Alright because you so want to read it, I will teach you to read” he smiled.
I smiled, remembering my stupidity arrogantly saying I could read. Aah I just remembered the book that aunt gave me was an old English book of course I could read it. But this is the first time I've seen a piece like this, wait, no, it seems like I've seen this but where??.
