Chapter 5. Different Of Belief

The next morning Luis sat down for breakfast at the table by the bedroom window. so that he could see the beauty of God's creation this morning.

Luis stared at his breakfast menu with an unsavory look. He only ate a few spoons. His sharp eyes continued to roam to every corner of the Hospital from his bedroom window.

The instant her sharp eyes were fixed to one point, a woman dressed in a white nurse uniform. Walk properly to the vehicle parking lot. Luis continues to follow the figure of the woman in white until the woman stops in front of a white man for a boy. A well-built, looking manly body leaning on a silver car. They both smile at each other and get into the car.

Luis didn't seem to like the sight he was seeing. His forehead creased for a moment, then smiled slyly as if he had come up with an idea. Luis immediately took his cellphone. Luis called someone.

"Niko, hurry and follow the silver car that just came out of the hospital. Find out who is the man who drove it" ordered Luis to his assistant.

"Ready, Sir."

Niko swiftly carried out the orders from his master, because he was used to being trained to always be ready in any condition and time.

Was the man who at that time called Winda from the door? Who is he? What's their relationship with? The questions keep circling in Luis's head.

It seems that good things are always in demand by many people. But it looks like she's a woman worth fighting for. Yes, because I never misjudged.

"We'll see how influential the man is, only I deserve you the most, Winda," Luis smiled confidently.

In the car Winda continued to remain silent until Ari grabbed Winda's right hand and kissed her while continuing to drive.

"What is it, honey?" Asked Ari.

"It is okay".

"Don't lie, don't try to cover it up. Let's just tell me or should we have breakfast first so you have time to tell the problems?" persuaded Ari.

"I want to quickly get home and sleep. Wuaach ... I feel sleepy" Winda tried to cover up her anxiety.

"No, I know you dear. Tell me quickly or you really don't trust me anymore" Ari glanced at Winda and pretended to put on a sour face.

"Okay I'll tell you, but promise not to be angry?" Winda looked at Ari.

"Okay, tell me."

"Yesterday, My Mom asked about our relationship, it seems like you still don't like our closeness." Winda spoke slowly as she glanced at Ari to see her expression.

"Mother said that one day it will only be a wound in our hearts, until whenever we cannot unite because of differences-" Winda hung her words.

"Our difference in belief!" Ari cut Winda's words.

There was silence for a while, Ari looked annoyed, Winda was just silent. He was afraid to make Ari angry if he spoke again.

"How many times have I told you? Our differences in belief will not be a barrier. If we love each other," finally Ari spoke.

In Winda's heart, she was never sure if this relationship would continue well. It's been a long time, even since Winda found out that Ari has a different belief than hers. Winda remembered that they had only been dating for one week, about a year ago.

At that time they were walking on the beach enjoying the beautiful scenery, white sand, clear blue sea water, towering beach cliffs overgrown with green plants standing firmly on either side of the beach. Sweet times when the relationship was still as long as corn. They sat in the gazebo of the beachside restaurant, enjoying seafood and young coconuts. When they were relaxing after filling their stomachs, I heard the sound of the call to prayer heard in Winda's ears, then she invited Ari to worship, but Ari said "Honey, I don't worship the way you do. My beliefs are not the same as yours. Our way of worship is different" answered Ari.

Jjeduuuaaarrrrr ...

Like lightning during the day, Winda was shocked, Gosh, why didn't I realize it. Inner Winda. Winda's heart is upset. He wanted to end his relationship with Ari. However, Ari, who is good at speaking, convinced Winda that her parents also had different beliefs, but could become a partner and even have children, namely Ari Setyawan.

Winda was stupid, who at that time believed Ari's words because she was lulled by the sweetness of love. It is difficult for a woman to ignore Ari's handsome face, pure white skin, handsome and neat appearance, romantic and caring. Although there are also drawbacks, Ari is a jealous and temperamental man.

But that's not all that makes Winda like Ari, but because he is so smart it makes Winda feel comfortable.

***

Ari stopped the car in front of Winda's house gate. Silence still enveloped the two people in the car until Ari made a sound.

"Rest, each of us needs time to think about this relationship" Ari spoke without looking at Winda.

Without saying anything, Winda got out of the car and saw Ari's car just go by. Winda doesn't know what she feels now, what her heart wants now, what she thinks now, empty.

Ari insisted that differences were not an obstacle to a relationship, while Winda was a filial child who wanted to make her parents happy and she did not deny that differences are not an obstacle in a relationship, but deep down, she is upset because differences are about a belief.
