"You're full already ?" Leon stared in surprise at Arumi who still left so much food on his plate.
"It has. My stomach is not feeling well, so I can't eat much." Replied Arumi while sipping her drinking water.
"Why ? You got a stomach ulcer or what ?" Leon asked who suddenly felt anxious.
Arumi laughed at Leon's reaction. "No. It's not like that, Leon."
"Then ? If it's not an ulcer, your stomach doesn't taste good because of what ? Should we stop by the doctor ?" The man's anxiety seems to be continuing.
"No need. My stomach is just a regular cramp." Replied the confused Arumi wanting to explain her current state.
"Don't take it lightly, Aru ! Mild disease should not be taken lightly either. Who knows it's just an early symptom of a bigger disease."
"I'm really okay, Leon. Please, believe me." Said Arumi. If possible, he wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible. There is no way he explained clearly to Leon that his stomach was cramping because it was coming months. That's shameful.
"You sure ?" The man's brown eyes stared at the full aim of the search.
"I'm sure." Call Arumi convincing. The man seemed to sigh even though he could finally accept Arumi's words.

"Why didn't Aru return an email from me ? Is he still angry ?" Irgi monologued himself while looking at the email he had sent hours ago but had not received a reply.
"Is he that hateful in my old attitude ? But it's not my fault either, is it ? Had he not deceived me by pretending to be Beverly on the wedding day, the matter would not have been this complicated." Irgi said so agitatedly. Honestly, he felt so lost to Arumi at this moment.
The situation is getting worse in his life. The happiness that he predicted would be obtained from the idol of the heart actually ended up being a hell that every day Irgi wanted to avoid. In fact, living with Arumi alone he felt not as miserable as this. In fact, if you think about it, shouldn't Irgi actually feel suffering from living one roof with the girl he really hates because he has deceived her ? But reality is inversely proportional. He only felt suffering when he was living with Beverly, the woman he said he loved so much.
"What should I do now ?" Irgi pulled her hair in frustration. The regret of having hurt Arumi so deeply made Irgi start to feel guilty.
The memory of Arumi's words last time before the patient woman left made Irgi felt so great regret. Fear, if Arumi's talk at that time was the truth almost never makes Irgi can sleep peacefully at night. The shadow of the girl drifting away with the threat of never returning to Irgi swirled continuously in her mind.
"Should I find out the truth ?" The man muttered again.
"Yes, I think I should." Anguk Irgi steadied the heart. Starting tomorrow, he will find out again about this problem. Whether Beverly was kidnapped by Arumi on her wedding day, or all she heard was lies, as Arumi said last time.
Finished with all his business in the office, Irgi came out of his company building right at 5 pm. The narrow-eyed man let out a lazy breath. It felt like he did not want to return quickly to a house that did not have the slightest aura of calm.
Irgi decided to stop by a cafe. Order a glass of warm coffee and sit at a table right on the edge, near a clear glass wall facing directly into the street.
"Where are you, Aru ?" Irgi in the Heart. Honestly, she slightly missed the existence of a simple woman who always greeted her with a sincere smile every time she came home from work. But now the girl was gone and replaced by a woman who only knew asking for money and money without asking if Irgi was tired all day working or not.
Suddenly, Irgi's eyes caught a woman who stepped right in front of him with long black hair, pure white skin with a sweet smile that Irgi had recently missed.
Immediately, he ran in a hurry to chase the woman he had been looking for for the last time half dead but did not get it. And now, the girl was right in front of him and had crossed the street when Irgi just came out of the cafe.
Without a second thought, Irgi caught up with the girl even though the lights had turned green. He did not care about the swearing of the rider who almost hit him because he had crossed carelessly. All he thought about was one. Get the girl back.
Irgi promises to give her a chance to prove all her words. Irgi promises to apologize sincerely if it is true and Arumi is innocent. Irgi even promises, even though Arumi remains proven guilty, he will give Arumi a chance to be with him again and forget the mistakes the girl made in the past. Of course, after the baby that Beverly was born.
"Aru ! Where have you been ?" Asked Irgi who was so relieved while hugging the girl who had been in his car for a long time.
"Who are you ? Don't be so rude, yeah." The girl pushed hard Irgi who hugged her until the man retreated a few steps.
Disappointment ambushed Irgi's feelings so deeply. It wasn't Arumi he was looking for. Other girls are almost similar to him.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were the guy I knew." Irgi said slowly.
The girl throbbed annoyed, then walked back leaving Irgi still glued to the spot. The man laughed at his own stupidity. Unknowingly, he punched the street light pole beside him. No matter the pain that spread to his fist due to his own actions.
"Why is this so hard on my life ? Aru, where are you really ?"

"Duke, these are the photos you asked for." The photographer trailing Leon and Arumi handed a sizable brown envelope to a middle-aged man with an overwhelming aura of power in front of him.
"Put it on the table and get your reward to Rosalina." Duke Xander said flatly without turning around.
"Good, Duke. Thank you." Thank you." Without waiting for a reply from the powerful man who stood behind him, the man immediately came out feeling delighted and met Rosalina, Duke Xander's personal secretary to take his reward.
Duke Xander was still staring out his office window. The cold man was seen sighing and headed back towards his desk. He sat down on the chair and began to open the envelope that the man had given him. A moment later, he threw the envelope on the table in a furious rage.
"You're still in touch with that Asian girl apparently."
Leon
Arumas
Irgi
