The Line between the Beauty and the Beast
The afternoon is a usual time for Gora, the pretty snow-white-fur home cat met Mpung, the filthy scabbed stray cat. Mpung does never come inside Gora’s house, just waiting for Gora approaches him in front of the gate as always.
Beautifully Gora came-by near Mpung in his daydream. Gora stick out his paw toward Mpung’s back.
“How do you fell outside, Mpung?”
Gora asked the same question as yesterday. She kept her curious about outside.
“I’m free, Gora!! I am enjoying every new challenge in my journey!”
“You enjoy it, really? Despite a new scar lay in your body again?”
Mpung raised one of his b****y paw. Confusedly Gora saw at Mpung. Whereas it should be painfully, Mpung proudly showed-off his wound.
The next day, Gora waited for Mpung until evening, but no sign from him to come. It happened until three days later.
In case of that day Mpung still won’t appear, Gora sincerely approved his death. Gora didn’t have the ability to search Mpung out there. If Mpung might not step inside her house, likewise Gora who might not step outside.
Fortunately, Mpung emerged then put his face in front of the gate.
“How do you feel outside, Mpung?”
“I’m free, Gora!! I am enjoying the new challenges in my journey!”
The previous wound that showed by Mpung had not recovered. Mpung got some wounds at several places instead.
“How about you, Gora? How do you feel inside there?”
“Full of comfort, Mpung! I am so happy, meowing to earn my food. I am so happy, rolling-over to get attention when I am feeling cold. I am so happy, cutely purring to gain my bed to be cleaned.”
Gora moved in a circle while waved her pretty tail. She upheld her chin with pride.
“You are happy, really? Despite shut-in and may never see outside?”
“Why should I peek outside world, Mpung? My life blessed with ease here.”
For the first time in forever, Mpung stuck out his scabbed paw across the gate. Gora stepped backward due to her fear of Mpung’s scars.
“What a pity your life is, Gora.” Mpung drew his paw.
