Dusk In Moorea

Go, disappear and forget

The clock shows at 10 am Jakarta time. The beautiful white girl with an oriental face and long hair was on a plane heading to France. After all the family drama that happened, Arumi decided to leave and did not intend to return. He is determined to forget everything and return to pursue his dream as a fashion designer.

He used to have 2 dreams. The first is to become an international model and the second is to become a fashion designer. However, she prefers to be a fashion designer rather than a model after everything that happens. She doesn't want to pursue the same profession as Beverly, the woman who ruined her marriage.

4 Days ago, Charlie, a friend of his when he was in college, offered to work in his parents' boutique in France. Given that talent was already seen when he was in college first. Although Arumi College is not finished because he had to get married 2 years ago, but Charlie knows very well Arumi's ability. What's more, Charlie promises to help Arumi to get a scholarship in one of the best unions there.

Armed with the savings of his mother who was once an architect, Arumi also left Indonesia and hoped to forget all the tragic events that had befallen his life.

Now the girl was looking at the window of the plane, when the plane was already flying above the clouds. He recalled his last meeting with Irgi last night.

"Sister, I'm saying goodbye ! I'm gonna get out of here. I hope you and Brother Beverly will be happy."

"I'm sorry Arumi !! I didn't mean to hurt you ! But honestly, I still love Beverly so much." Irgi said while holding Arumi's hand.

"If you hadn't kidnapped Beverly in the past, we shouldn't have hurt each other like this." Irgi is back.

"I told you brother, I didn't kidnap Beverly's sister, she ran away with another man."

"I'm sorry Arumi, but I trust Beverly more than you. Anyway, I know Beverly very well, she can't possibly lie" said Irgi, who now took off her hand.

Arumi wiped away her fallen tears. He tried to strengthen his heart. Until now only Beverly was enthroned in Irgi's heart. With all the attention, love, affection and devotion that he has poured out over these 2 years, it is not enough to shake Irgi's heart.

Arumi took a deep breath, trying to gather the remnants of the strength that still exists and trying to look tough in front of the man who is now legally her ex-husband.

"Son, if one day my words prove true, I just ask one thing for Irgi, brother, don't ever look for me and apologize, let alone to come back. Because if that time comes, the feelings that now exist are definitely dead and gone. Good bye." After saying that, Arumi stepped away.

Silence for a moment until Irgi's screaming voice sounded.

"Arumi, you don't have to go. Although I'm the same Beverly, but I don't hate you at all !."

Arumi stopped her steps, then turned to look at Irgi.

"There's no reason for me to settle down, brother. There was nothing left for me here, neither love nor family were all taken from me. Kal Irgi promised enough to fulfill my request."

Irgi nodded softly hearing Arumi's reply.

"good. I-i promise. I'm not going to find you Arumi. Because I know Beverly can't lie."

Arumi smiled again. Tears came back but quickly washed away.

"Good !! I keep the promise, Irgi. Good bye."

Now Arumi is really gone. Irgi just stared fixedly at Arumi's back which slowly disappeared in the middle of the crowd. There was a slight sense of tightness in his chest as he watched the woman who for 2 years had accompanied him in joy and sorrow go further and finally disappear. To be honest, Irgi was comfortable with Arumi. If Arumi had not done anything stupid in the past, maybe he would not have been in the situation he is in.

However, another acquisition for Irgi the departure of Arumi was a blessing. Now there's nothing to stand in the way of him and his Beverly banding together. For Irgi, Beverly is an angel, the owner of her heart. At least that's what he's convinced of himself. I hope this decision is right. Hopefully !

Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris/France

After about 18 hours, Arumi finally set foot at the airport charles de Gaulle, Paris. He smiled as he got out of the plane. This is where his new life will begin. He will be reborn into a new man. No more family barring him here, he's free to do anything.

Arumi pushes the trolly with her luggage when from a distance she sees her best friend since High School used to wave at her. With a bright smile, she received Charlie's embrace running towards her.

"Arumi, I missed you !!". Charlie cried with pleasure.

"Me too !!". Answered Arumi around her while returning Charlie's embrace.

"Here, let me take it, you must be tired after your long flight !". Follow Charlie who has now taken Trolly Arumi.

"Thank you !!". Arumi smiled.

They arrived in front of the airport. There, there's a Charlie driver waiting. After seeing his master come, the driver swiftly grabbed Arumi's belongings and immediately put them in the trunk. Not long ago, their car had already sailed away from the airport area.

"So tell me, what happened Arumi ?". Charlie asked with concern.

" Mas Irgi, divorce me and will marry Brother Beverly" replied Arumi with a bitter smile.

"What ? Is Irgi out of his mind ? How could he still want to be with a woman who had abandoned him for the sake of another man exactly 2 hours before they were married ?". Charlie's surprised voice echoed.

"You know for yourself Charlie, brother Irgi doesn't know the real story, he still thinks I'm wrong. "

"Then your father and aunt Katherine didn't explain ?".

"Why?". Ask Charlie lirih.

"You know, Brother Beverly is 2 months pregnant. Brother Irgi's son. And my father and aunt Katherine agreed that Irgi should marry Beverly."

Charlie's eyes instantly widened.

"What ? So Beverly and Irgi are playing behind you ? And your father knows ?".

Arumi just nodded.

"Basic human-human trash." Charlie gritted his jaw, signaling that he was in high emotion.

"If only I were in Indonesia, surely this wouldn't have happened to you !! I can definitely prevent it. I'm sorry.!!". The embrace is soft, then hugs Arumi while crying.

"Don't be sad Charlie. Now I'm fine. I've thrown everything away. Whether it's Irgi or my father, I intend to forget everything. Now you just have to help me start a new life here."

Charlie took off his embrace, wiped away the tears on his face and looked at Arumi with a sweet smile.

"Well, from now on I'm your family. Whatever you need I will provide. I must have helped you Arumi. And oh yes, I forgot to say :

Welcome to Paris, the fashion center of the world." Charlie proudly cried.

Charlotte Meredith Aldric, aka Charlie. Indonesian French tomboy girl, Arumi's only good friend from the 2nd grade of High School until the 2nd semester of college. During the 2nd semester, his parents had to return to France and inevitably he also had to leave Arumi alone in Indonesia. For Arumi, Charlie is more than just a friend. He was a brother and family who felt much more real than his own family. Aside from his mother who is gone, Charlie is the second person who is ready to put on a body for Arumi.

I don't know why Charlotte would prefer to call Charlie. What is clear, for the girl, the name Charlotte is too feminine, inversely proportional to her tomboyish personality. But to be sure, Charlie was not a person who could hang out carelessly with others. He's very picky. And somehow he can be good friends with Arumi, a quiet and timid girl who is opposite to him who is brave and a handyman looking for trouble.

When High School first, he twice moved schools because he beat up boys who say women so-so events. Almost every day, Charlie was always looking for trouble. Fortunately, his father Charles William Aldric was such an influential person that he was always free from the entanglement of the law as a result of breaking the hands or feet of a boy friend who disturbed him at school.

One day, he meets Arumi. Starting from a small conversation in the UKS, they finally often chat and become good friends. From then on, Charlie changed little by little. Although still a tomboy but he no longer quarrel often. He studied more with Arumi. That makes Charles and his wife Isabella Aldric like Arumi, even consider Arumi like his own child.

"Welcome to Paris, Honey !!Long time no see, I miss you so much". Greet Lady Isabella while hugging Arumi who just arrived at their large mansion.

"Thank you, Aunty Bella !!. I miss you too". Reply Arumi smiled.

"Sit down, baby !! Aunty's gonna get the waiter to make you drink." Isabella said as she rushed to the kitchen leaving Arumi and Charlie in the living room.

"This Mansion is so big Charlie!!" said Arumi amazed.

"Yes, indeed. That's why I want you to stay here !! No need to rent a flat anymore." Persuade Charlie

"No, Charlie. I don't feel good about Charles and Aunt Bella. I've troubled you enough." Tukas Arumi stroked Charlie's shoulder.

"Absolutely no hassle, Sweety!! Stay here, you can accompany Charlotte and your aunty here !!." Charles Aldric, Charlie's father, has just arrived.

Arumi immediately stood up and gave Charles a warm hug.

"Hello, Uncle !!how are you?." asked Arumi as he took off his arms and sat back down, accompanied by uncle Charles who also sat right in front of him and Charlie.

Shortly after, Aunty Bella returned with two maids behind her carrying 4 cups of tea and some snacks. After telling the two servants to put drinks and snacks on the table, she rushed to her husband, gave a warm kiss and landed her butt next to her husband.

"Bella, what do you think ? Do you agree that Arumi just lives here ?". Ask Charles.

"Well, where would Arumi live if not here ?." Isabella asked back.

"Well, your adopted daughter, intends to rent a small flat for her to live in Paris." Charles replied while glancing towards Arumi.

"What ?? Are you serious, Honey ?". Isabella was surprised.

Arumi felt a little bad now. Somehow have to explain it to Aunty Bella and Uncle Charles. To be honest, Charlie's parents already considered themselves as children. In fact, long ago when they were still living in Indonesia, Mr. Charles and Mrs Bella never hesitated to introduce Arumi as their adopted daughter in front of their business colleagues or relatives.

"Arumi just doesn't want to be a burden to Uncle and Aunty anyway." Reply Arumi lowered her head.

"Load ? What does that mean ? Since when have you been our burden Honey ? We are thankful that you are in our midst. Because of you, Charlie is now a sweet kid away from violence. We owe you one, baby." Tukas Aunty Bella.

"Come on Arumi, just stay here yeah, let me have a friend !!". It was Charlie's turn to beg.

After a long period of weighing, Arumi finally gave up.

"All right !!".
