Dusk In Moorea

HR#31

"What can I do for you, Mr Irgi ?" Asked a man in a grey suit who was sitting in front of Irgi.

"I want you to investigate what happened on my wedding day, Danu. Is it true that Beverly, my wife who is now kidnapped by Arumi or not."

Danu gave a faint grin hearing Irgi's request. His hand then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered the man narrow-eyed.

"You want to ?" Danu asked with her right hand that thrust her cigarette at Irgi.

Irgi. "You guys. I don't smoke." Reject the man.

Danu chuckles a little and then pulls back the cigarette box she offered to Irgi. Take the contents of a stick, then put between his lips and light a lighter. Once the suction was long, white smoke billowed just after Danu exhaled it into the air.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Irgi. Why do you want to find out now ? What difference does it make if the story is true or not ? Isn't what you love in the end still Miss Beverly ?"

"Just find out, Danu. If you can report the results as soon as possible." Said Irgi who felt struck by Danu's statement.

The man seems to be insinuating indirectly from Irgi's stupidity to release a girl as good as Arumi just because of his stupid blind love for Beverly.

Danu raised next to her eyebrows while squeaking attention to Irgi's movements. Danu guessed that Irgi did not seem to have any happiness after her second marriage.

"It looks like it's going to be difficult, sir. You know for yourself that the incident has been going on for about two years. It would be difficult to track down the people involved in that event in the present moment."

"Just do it, Danu. Money matters, whatever you need, I will provide. Provided, you can guarantee that you'll get whatever I want."

"All right ! We agreed." Danu extended her hand to Irgi as a sign of their cooperation.

Irgi shook Danu's hand briefly and then took it off again. " Remember, Danu ! Get it as fast as possible." Irgi stressed.

"Of course, Mr. Irgi. As long as there's money, there's nothing you can't get." Sahut Danu relaxed while smoking back his cigarette.

"Where have you been, Irgi ? I've called you so many times since. Why don't you ever pick up your phone once ?" Cecar Beverly who is now following Irgi steps into their room.

"I'm busy, Lily. Don't you understand ?" Sahut Irgi jengah. The man moved off his tie and two buttons on his top shirt as he felt increasingly suffocated by the almost daily sparring with Beverly.

"No. I don't understand, Irgi. It is you who should understand me. You know that I'm pregnant ?"

"Then ? What do you want, Lily ?" Tanya Irgi growled. On his face rubbing violently using both hands.

"I want money." The woman's words were short. His right hand was stretched forward. She asked what she had said to her husband.

"Don't I transfer your monthly money, Lily ? It's only been a few days, it can't be over, right ?" Irgi turned his back to Beverly. For whatever sake, Irgi's patience with Beverly who only cares about money and money is completely exhausted.

"It's over." Beverly relax. His position shifted and moved to the front of Irgi who was originally behind him.

"You use that for what kind of money ?"

"Of course Shopping and care, dear." Said Beverly smiling as she put her hands on her husband's sturdy neck.

"Shopping, shopping and shopping. Is your job just that-that's it, Lily ?" Snapped Irgi with the hand that released Beverly's embrace around her neck. Really ! That kind of appeal no longer works against him.

"You are why ? Why are you suddenly so angry now, huh ? Didn't I tell you before marriage that I need a lot ?"

Irgi's car quickly split the city streets. The destination is a large house about 30 minutes away by driving from where he lives. Devan's house, Irgi's best friend since childhood.

"So, you had another fight with Beverly ?" Devan asked with a hand that poured a bottle of wine into the glass that had been placed in front of Irgi.

The two men are now in a mini bar located on the 3rd floor of Devan's mansion.

"If you know, don't ask." Irgi Cebik. He grabbed a glass of wine that Devan had just given him. Sip the red liquid inside the glass and put it back.

Devan chuckled and sat down next to Irgi after he poured himself a drink.

"Indeed, this time what else is the problem ?"

"Regular. Money again." Answer Irgi briefly. His gaze was straight forward, fixed on the expensive alcoholic beverage collection displayed beautifully in the bartender's closet before him.

"Why don't you just follow his wishes ? Isn't that what you've always done for a long time ?"

"It used to be and now it's different, Devan. Now she's my wife. He should be able to better manage family finances and save money. Moreover, she is pregnant. Of course the cost for the baby later is also not a little."

Devan was silent for a few seconds before blasting his laughter. Making Irgi's eyebrows suddenly furrow in wonder.

"What's so funny ?" Sizzle Irgi offended.

"Nothing." Devan replied after muffling his laughter. " I'm just confused about you. Back then, when you were with Arumi you kept complaining because you still couldn't forget Beverly. But, now ? Once you get Beverly, you don't like her lifestyle. Wasn't Beverly ever changed ?"

"really ?" Irgi asked doubtfully. Is it true Beverly has been matre since long ago ? But, why did Irgi just realize it now ?

"of course. Beverly's attitude never changed. The former and present Beverly remain the same."

"Indeed, Beverly is what do you think ?" Ask Irgi curiously. Really ! He wanted to know if he had been acting stupid because he was blinded by love so he could not see the truth that Beverly was not a good woman for him ?

"Matre, likes to act as he pleases, selfish, and...." Devan hesitantly continued his sentence.

"And ?"

"Always treat you like a slave." Devan smiled uneasyly as he revealed the last sentence. Afraid that his best friend would be offended.

Irgi looked stunned at Devan's words. Is it true she looks like a Beverly slave in the eyes of the people ?

"Then, what about Arumi ? What did you see of him ?" Ask later.

This time Devan smiled. However, it was not smiling because it felt bad for Irgi like before. Instead of smiling because it remembers how the shape of the face and sincere smile that always rises on the face of the girl.

"She's the nicest girl I've ever met. I still can't believe that a girl as good as she could treat her sister that long. If only, he hadn't replaced Beverly in marrying you, it might have been me who proposed to her first." Devan chuckled small with a glance towards his wine glass. Remembering Arumi is one of the most beautiful memories Devan has ever had in a lifetime. However, he should be happy to accept the reality. Arumi prefers to love Irgi on her appeal.

"You like Arumi ?" Irgi asked with a piercing glare.

"No man can resist the charm of a woman as beautiful and as good as Arumi, my friend ! Except you !" Devan chuckles again while patting Irgi on the shoulder.

While Irgi could only gulp his saliva roughly. For some reason, his heart was like in a crumb when he knew that it turned out that his own best friend had harbored a sense of the woman he had married first. It seems, Irgi felt unwilling if Devan wanted something that had been his.
