"The incident almost made Miss Arumi's life almost drift. And what's worse is that Ms. Katherine did it just because Ms. Arumi was against her orders."
"Then, does Mr Jonathan know ?"
"of course. But, that person just kept quiet and did not comment anything. Really weird dad. He didn't even report his wife's actions to the police at all." Danu shook his head. Concerned about the words he made himself.
"Indeed, it's related to what's happening now ?"
"Of course." Danu plucked his finger justifying. "Originally you know, since that day Miss Arumi never again defied and became a submissive child. That could be the reason why she could replace Miss Beverly on your wedding day."
"I still don't believe it, Danu." Irgi's still-rugged bell rejected reality.
"Come to this address !" Danu pointed to a paper that read the address in front of Irgi. "You'll get the answers you want there."

"Hey ! Why is it taking so long to come out ?" A cheerful greeting from someone who was so familiar with Arumi suddenly made the girl's steps stop. Either because he misses Leon so much that the man's voice swirls around Arumi's head or indeed the man who suddenly reappears after a week of disappearing.
Arumi turned around and found the figure she was looking for was standing right behind her. Pouring an ice cream vanilla flavor that actually has begun to melt. Maybe the man thought Arumi would finish work at exactly 5 as usual. He bought the ice cream first.
"For you." Said Leon with a hand thrusting an ice cream into Arumi's front. While his own began to be spent before it completely melted all.
"Leon ?" Pekik Arumi smiled happily. Unknowingly, the girl tightly hugged Leon's tall body and submerged his face in the chest of the man's field.
"Where have you been ? Do you know that I miss you ?" The girl who started to sound hoarse held back the cries.
"Aru ? Why are you ?" Asked Leon who felt there was something strange about Arumi's behavior. It was not usual for the girl to hug him like this. In fact, it never is. There is only Leon who always starts and sometimes not at all welcomed by Arumi.
"It's okay. I just missed you. Really miss." Said Arumi who was still reluctant to release her tightly hugged hand from Leon's strapping body.
"really ?" Leon's heart wanted to explode. Perhaps, Arumi who was drowning her face in the chest of her field could hear clearly how Leon's heart was pumping three times faster than usual.
The girl nodded before raising her head to look up at Leon who was clearly much taller than her.
"Why don't you hug me back ? You don't like ?" Asian girl's mouth is cute conical. Makes Leon feel like tasting sweet from Arumi's natural pink lips.
"I-i want. But, what about the ice cream ?" Leon answered wrongly.
"Throw away. We can buy it again." Arumi orders after seeing the appalling condition of the ice cream held by Leon. It had already melted by half and barely had any form anymore.
"All right." Leon shrugged his shoulders and obeyed Arumi's orders without a second thought. After that, he hugged Arumi back no less tightly. Inhaling as much as possible the scent of the body of the Asian girl this week as soon as she misses it to the point of almost going crazy. But what power. Duke Xander punished Leon by not allowing the man to go out for a week as a reward for daring to fight his father some time ago.
"I miss you too, Aru."
"Leon ?" Call Arumi who is still comfortable in Leon's arms.
"Hmm ?"
"Don't you feel like people are watching us ?" Ask Arumi shyly. The girl realized that she and Leon were hugging in a public place and became a free spectacle for everyone passing by.
"Don't mind. They're just jealous." Reply Leon indifferently. His position was too comfortable to be disturbed by the hustle and bustle of people alternately talking about them.
"All right ! I'll get off." Leon nodded. He eventually broke away from Arumi's embrace with a dissatisfied face at all. She still misses Arumi too much. But the girl told him to take off their embrace. Though, who hugged first instead, Arumi ?
"You romantic young couple. I remember my late husband. Just as handsome as you are, young man." A grandmother in her 60s approached them. Praising her with a sincere smile while patting Leon's arm softly.
"And I was as beautiful as you were when you were young, baby." The Grandma continued while looking meaningfully at Arumi.
"Thank you, Grandma." Arumi said sincerely.
"I pray that your love will be the same as mine and my husband. We were separated when death called him first." Grandma's eyes looked teary. Although, a happy twinkle still radiated from his own eyes.
"Pray us, Grandma ! I hope what Grandma said is true." This time it was Leon who responded with such enthusiasm.
Shortly after, a woman whom Leon and Arumi believe to be the daughter of Grandma comes and takes her away. The grandmother waved her hand before she got into her daughter's car.
Arumi and Leon both smile at the passing of the friendly Grandma. Slowly but surely, Leon's fingers began to search for the existence of Arumi's fingers next to him. After being able to, little by little he grabbed the girl's fingers. And in the next second it had already managed to grasp it feelingly. Her smile widened as Arumi replied and helped tighten their fingers.
"I want some more ice cream." The girl chuckled little. Staring at Leon with adorable Puppy eyes.
"All right ! Whatever you want." Leon pinched Arumi's nose. Attract the girl a moment later to buy the ice cream the girl wanted.
"Aru ! Can I know what this means ?" Leon raised their hands together. Expect full on the answer that will be given Arumi.
"What do you think ?" Arumi asked back. A prickly smile was clearly imprinted on her beautiful face.
"Come on, Aru ! Don't make me confused."
"You want to know ?"
"Of course."
"Buy me some ice cream first !" Show the girl at the ice cream shop that's right behind Leon.
"All right !" Said Leon. It seemed like he had to be extra patient just for the sake of an answer that would not necessarily relieve his heart.
"Leon !" Call Arumi again.
The man stopped and looked at Arumi. "What's up ? You want another taste ?"
"No." Shy mask.
"Then, what are you calling me for ?" Leon's eyebrows shot up in wonder.
"I love you." The girl bowed to hide the red tinge that started sticking out on her white cheeks as it held in shame. His lips were perfectly closed to each other.
"Did you say ?" Ask Leon to make sure. He was afraid that his sense of hearing only caught the wrong sentence earlier.
"I love you." The girl said again. This time with a smile that managed to escape his lips.
The brunette-haired man before him was unable to hide the happy smile on his face. He could not believe that Arumi would say that sentence after so long Leon expected it. Leon ran over to Arumi and hugged the girl so happily. "I love you more. Really."
