Dusk In Moorea

Suddenly disappeared

"Prepare ! We're back tonight." Said Duke Xander without staring at his interlocutor.

The movement of Leon who just wanted to take off the suit he was wearing immediately stopped. For a few seconds, he was able to hide.

"Tonight ? I don't want daddy ! Let daddy come back. I'll stay here for a few days with Zack." Reject Leon with a forced smiley face.

"You're starting to want to argue against daddy again ?" Duke Xander glanced at his son through the sharp tail of his eyes.

The handsome young man was silent. No longer dare to make a sound if his father has touched on the 'disputing' issue in his sentence.

"Done all your clothes. In a moment, our invitation will come." Duke Xander walked up the stairs. "You too, Zack !" The connection again that had stopped briefly in front of Zack who pegged nearby.

"Well, uncle !" Reply Zack gasped.

After Duke Xander passed, Zack immediately approached Leon who seemed still shocked by his father's decision. Zack rubbed Leon's back so that his best friend could be patient to face his father's authoritarian, firm and cold attitude.

Leon punched the sofa pads. Channeling the frustration of having made an appointment to an Asian girl who some days has made him feel entertained but can no longer fulfill. He does not even know if he will be reunited with Arumi or not after his return from the island of Moorea.

"You two ready ?" Duke Xander asked the two young men standing behind him.

Zack and Leon just nodded weakly. Both of them really feel heavy leaving all the pleasure that exists on Moorea Island. Especially for Leon who has a 5-day mission to get Arumi's love that must run aground before he even starts.

A few minutes later, a car came and picked them up to take them to the runway of the Wellington family's private jet. Leon again just fell silent while staring out the window of the car. His gaze was blank as his running thoughts presented the figure of Arumi in his memory.

Duke Xander beside him just stared straight ahead even though his tails noticed every little movement his son made. The middle-aged man knew that his son was definitely thinking about the Asian girl he saw at Mr.'s party. Kovalev a few hours ago.

Sorry, Daddy ! But Daddy has to pluck out his roots before they develop. Don't let you fall in love with that girl and forget about your engagement to Jane.

Early in the morning, Arumi had woken up and opened the curtains that blocked the sunlight from entering her room and Charlie. The beautiful girl smiled and shook Charlie's body as hard as she could.

"Let's get up, Char ! Said you wanted to run in the morning." Shouted Arumi excitedly while pulling the blanket that still wrapped around Charlie's body.

"I don't want to, Aru ! My legs still hurt a lot because of those fucking heels." Charlie covered his face with a pillow.

Arumi shook her head then pulled the pillow that covered Charlie's sweet face.

"Don't be spoiled, Charlie ! Get up quickly !" Arumi pulled Charlie's hand to wake up. Forcing her best friend to open her eyes wide.

"I said I don't want to ! I'm going to sleep, Aru !" Charlie's whine was upset with the leg he was stomping on the bed.

Arumi retreats when Charlie returns to correct his sleeping position. He only snorted in annoyance as he moved to change into sports clothes.

"Yes, let me be alone." Arumi's grumbling.

Arumi turned around with her mouth muttering at her own best friend. Very sincerely, he closed the window curtain that he had opened and headed back to the closet to remove the sports clothes. While Charlie behind the blanket smiled in satisfaction for successfully defeating their first debate for today. 1-0 he said in his heart.

"Want to jog, baby ?" Isabella who was sitting on the front porch greeted Arumi with a smile. Next to him, Charles looked very serious read a business magazine that talked about young entrepreneurs who suddenly his name skyrocketed quickly in the International arena called Bima Dirgantara. A businessman from Indonesia who is famous for being smart and the smartest sees the opportunity.

"Yes, Aunty. Aunty wanna come ?"

Isabella held her hand in the air. "Maybe next time, baby !" Smiling words.

"Where's Charlotte, Aru ?" Charles put back the magazine he read on the table.

"It's still a sweet dream under the thick blanket, Uncle." Arumi replied with a small laugh.

"Why don't you wake up ?"

"I've tried. But, he even scolded Aru. He said his legs hurt from wearing heels too long at the party last night."

Hearing that, Charles only shook his head while snorting in annoyance.

"Look at your daughter's behavior, Bella ! How can he get a mate if at this hour he is still sleeping ? Chickens wake up much earlier than your princess." Charles said annoyed.

"Charles, she's your daughter too." Isabella's reply was unacceptable.

"But you're the one who's supposed to educate him ?"

"It's not just my job, it's yours."

"But you're more at home."

"What if I'm more at home ?

Dizzied at the debate between the couple, Arumi finally chose to leave immediately.

"Uncle ! Aunty ! Aru to go yes !" The girl shouted as she reached the gate.

"Be careful, baby !" Reply Isabella waved her hand before she returned to focus on arguing with her husband.

The small debate Arumi had seen between Charles and Isabella was nothing new to him. The couple did almost every day do it even though it was only a matter of unnecessary things. However, despite always arguing every day, the magic of their marriage is still lasting even relatively harmonious until now.

Arumi runs early in the morning along the beach. Many people also pass by there for morning exercise, just like it. The girl's eyes glanced right-left, looking for the whereabouts of the handsome man who last night promised to make her fall in love in the next few days. Disillusioned. There was no Leon among the many people who were milling around. Where did that shitty guy go ?

"What am I thinking about it for ? Haha." He said while stretching his hand muscles. "It's good for me if he doesn't show up like this."

Arumi nodded confirming his own words. Although, in her heart the girl felt that something was missing when Leon did not appear as usual.

The sun is rising, which indicates that noon is coming soon. Arumi quickly turned around and ran towards the Aldric family resort again. The girl was still wondering. Where did Leon who usually always appears suddenly disappear ? Is he still sleeping ?

Millions of questions are stored in Arumi's mind. The curiosity of Leon's existence really makes him forget other things, even things that concern Irgi though.
