Dusk In Moorea

HR#36

What is this ? Why did Arumi feel that his chest cavity would explode instantly ? His smile did not stop rising. In fact, until he landed his body on the bed even though Arumi was still smiling. Is it possible that he has started to be insane ?

The meeting with Leon today as well as the statement of love that escaped from his lips for the brown man, really made Arumi blush at once happy. How could that phrase come out of his lips ? Ah ! Thinking about it has made the entire surface of Arumi's face red.

"Why are you smiling to yourself ?" Reproach Charlie who was leaning in front of the door of Arumi's room with his hands crossed.

"Who is smiling to himself ?" Arumi asked back. The girl got up and sat down on the edge of the bed against Charlie who was still standing in front of the door.

"You're hiding something from me, Aru ?" Charlie stepped in, sitting next to Arumi with his arms around her best friend's shoulders.

"No Char ! Where is it possible." Sangkal Arumi's.

"Come on, man ! Honestly speaking. Something good is happening, right ? Hmmm ?" Charlie tightens his embrace until Arumi laughs and tries to let go of Charlie's possessive embrace.

"You want to know ?"

"Of course." Nod Charlie enthusiastically.

"Me and Leon are officially dating." The whisper of Arumi in Charlie's ear.

"What ? Are you serious ?" Pekik Charlie can't believe it.

The girl next to him nodded shyly. ABG is the first to know love.

"W-how can it be ? Didn't you say that he never came to see you again ?"

"Yes. I think so. But, all of a sudden this afternoon he reappeared. And...."

" And ?"

"I said I liked it too."

"You're expressing your feelings to the man you've rejected ?" Asked Charlie gasp.

"Why indeed ?" Arumi's eyebrows shot up.

"Based on this stupid girl !" Charlie grumbled. " What if he turns out to reject you, you idiot ? Aren't you gonna feel ashamed ?"

"But, he didn't refuse, did he ?" Reply Arumi indifferently.

Charlie's speechless. The tomboyish girl looked at her best friend's face that looked so bright. He knew that Arumi was very happy. However, for some reason Charlie's heart felt a little uneasy. He felt a little afraid that the happiness of his best friend would only last a moment. After all, Leon was still moving under Duke Xander's control. Charlie just doesn't want Arumi to get hurt sometime because of it.

"Why are you quiet ?" Tanya Arumi who succeeded in making Charlie's daydreams disappear instantly.

"No. It's okay." The girl's mask smiled.

"Can I hope to be happy now, Charlie ?" Ask Arumi expectantly. Her teary eyes held back the doubt that slowly began to grow as the happiness she had just felt.

Arumi knew enough to dare to love a man of noble blood like Leon. He knew very well the consequences he would have in the future. Duke Xander will definitely oppose their relationship. However, Leon has promised never to release Arumi until anytime. The two are committed to facing Duke Xander's anger together one day.

"Yes. You can because you deserve to." Charlie nodded with tears in his eyes. He was trying to throw away all the bad prejudices he had just thought of.

"Where have you been ?" The cold voice again greeted Leon when he had just arrived home.

The brunette-haired man's steps stopped. His eyes closed for a moment while taking a deep breath.

"What's up, Daddy ? Does Daddy always have to know about my personal affairs ?" Leon asked as he turned to face his father who was currently highlighting him sharply. The look in his eyes was no less sharp against his father.

Duke Xander grinned thinly. His son is starting to change. The young man he once thought would never dare to challenge him even now was able to reply to the glare of his sharp eyes without being bowed. The punishment of locking his son for a week in the mansion did not bear any fruit.

"What's your attitude toward your own Daddy, Leon ?"

"What is my attitude like ?" Leon asked back.

Duke Xander's anger had already begun to boil. He stood up and kicked the table in front of him. The middle-aged man's patience had already begun to run out due to facing Leon's sudden change in attitude. An attitude he never expected would come from his own son.

"Don't answer Daddy's questions with questions, too, Leon !" Duke Xander was angry. The veins around his forehead slowly became visible as his jaw tightened.

Leon laughed sinisterly at the anger of his father. Just this time, he felt very satisfied because he had managed to get his father provoked by anger. What was it like to defy for the first time ?

"Why indeed ? Is something wrong ?" Challenging Leon is becoming more and more. He had even ignored his respect for his own father.

"Please pay attention to your ethics of decency, Leon ! Do you realize who you're talking to right now ?"

"Of course I'm aware, Dad ! I'm talking to my own Daddy."

"You know who I am ? You know what my titles and titles are ?" Duke Xander's anger is growing. Both of his hands clenched together as his body began to tremble furiously.

"Of course I know who you are, Your Highness Duke ! " Leon bowed respectfully. "That's true if the one talking to you is someone else. But, if I do the talking, then our relationship is nothing more than father and son. At least if we're in a house like this." And again without fear.

"Leon !" Snapped Duke Xander.

"Don't yell at me, Dad ! I'm not wrong. I'm just reminding you of your role in this house. You're my Daddy, not my boss." Leon's hiss got angry and then passed away.

Duke Xander sat in disbelief in the seat behind him. His breath was hunting because of the incident just now. Is this just a dream or is his son just learning about the role of a father ? The Asian girl was really successful in changing her son.

"Ronald's !" Call Duke Xander half-screaming.

No need to shout twice until the butler in his large mansion came over.

"Yes, Duke ! You called me ?"

"Take my medicine !" Duke Xander said as he held onto his chest. Perhaps, his heart disease began to recur slightly due to a dispute with Leon just now.

"Okay, Duke !" Ronald bowed, and immediately took the medicine and drinking water for Duke Xander.

Duke Xander is still trying to neutralize his emotions. He can't be hooked like this or Leon will become more and more. He had to start thinking about the move to subdue back the tiger cub who had already started to show his fangs to his own father.

"We see, Leon ! Until when will you dare to challenge your own Daddy. Daddy's gonna make sure you're gonna regret what you did."
