Dusk In Moorea

Gathering

Dusk did not feel so fast to say hello. Arumi and Charlie were in their resort yard to have a barbeque party with Mr. Charles' best friend and business partner while enjoying the beautiful sunset view. Charlie is seen occasionally greeting and exchanging stories with some children from his father's colleagues while Arumi is only busy playing with two twin boys who are about 5 years old, son of one of the top officials of Russia.

A notification makes the phone held by Arumi vibrate. In the lyrics of the mobile screen featuring an article about the massive marriage of a young Indonesian businessman and a beautiful model who is none other than Irgi and Beverly.

Arumi immediately wiped away the tears that came out before anyone noticed. The woman decided to move a little away from the crowd to spill the heartache of the actions of the two people Arumi believed most. Even not enough two weeks he and Irgi divorced, but now the man was married again to another woman. The new wife of her ex-husband is her own half-sister. Arumi could not deny that even though he had tried to forget Irgi, in fact, the feeling could not be erased in a short time.

"Where are you going Aru ?" Call Charlie from behind.

"I'm gonna take a walk. You're there, I won't be long." Answer without turning.

The tall woman quickly leaves Charlie before her best friend realizes she is sad. Arumi did not want to mess up this party just because of her heartache.

"Don't go far !" Shouts Charlie reminded.

Arumi continued to walk without direction until he finally found the best place to hide behind the rocks that looked like a small cave. The beautiful woman sat there bending her knees and sobbing. All the burdens that he had been carrying, were spilled in tears that would make all who heard feel guilty.

From where she sat now, Arumi could see how beautiful the sunset was that was simply not enough to cheer her up. The flash of events about how steadfastly all the people he loved wholeheartedly betrayed him revolved continuously in Arumi's brain. Making the pain in his heart as if sprinkled with salt that made it even more painful. So where else should he depend ? It's impossible for the Aldric family. Arumi knew enough not to constantly burden her best friend's family with this kind of personal issue.

A head suddenly appeared from above Arumi and successfully made her scream hysterically. The head owner then laughed out loud and jumped down to where Arumi was.

"Your expression is so funny." Said Leon.

Arumi clucked irritably and then wiped the tears that had been shed. It is not good to show fragility in front of a stranger let alone that it is a man. At least it was the mandate of his biological mother when he was a child that he still remembers even though until now Arumi did not understand what it meant.

"Why are you here ?" Ask Arumi in surprise. He clearly knows who that man is. The same guy who hit his best friend Charlie's head this afternoon with a ball. Leon Wyatt Wellington's.

Before answering the female question before him, Leon stepped up first and sat down beside Arumi. Both of his hands played a fairly large shell.

"This is a public place, Miss ! There's no particular reason why I could be here."

Arumi watched the stranger next to her. Someone with firm eyebrows and sharp eyes. Pretty handsome can even be said to be very handsome for the size of someone who is quite annoying for Arumi.

"Alright, please just stay here. I'll go first." Pamit Arumi was about to stand up. But, he had not been able to do that, his hands were held by a handsome man who had twice upset Arumi.

"Later first. I still want to talk." Hold it.

"What do you want to talk about Mr. Wellington ?" Arumi asked with a hold of annoyance while trying to release Leon's hand. Ever since he knew who the man holding his wrist was, he just wanted to try his best to avoid the man without causing any trouble. Aru was still sane enough not to play around with a ruler's son like Leon.

Leon takes off Arumi's wrist and displays his best smile on the Asian woman who he thinks is very unique.

"Call me Leon. Don't be so formal with me. Sit down for a minute." Leon's eyes looked meaningfully at Arumi. A view that the beautiful woman could not understand.

Whether exposed to the wind, Arumi according to when Leon told him to sit back. Her beautiful eyes stared at the man's face once again which Arumi said exuded an aura of freedom without any burden. It was as if the smile embedded in the handsome face was able to brush off all the problems of life that he had.

Arumi's red face because of being caught stealing a glance at the man next to her immediately she turned the other way. His eyes blinked a few times expelling the embarrassment that had fallen on him from being sniffed.

"It's okay" he said. Those beautiful eyes were fixed on the sunset that might soon be completely gone by the moon.

"What's your name ?" Leon asked with a charming smile.

"Arumi Liem." Answer Aru briefly.

Leon nodded his head while muttering Arumi's name repeatedly.

"Why do you keep saying my name ?" Aru Protests.

"Let's not forget that one day we'll meet again somewhere else."

Feeling amused by Leon's exaggerated answer, Arumi involuntarily laughed to herself. It turned out that the man beside her was not as thick as he thought.

"You're beautiful if you laugh." Praise Leon then.

The woman beside him immediately turned her head in astonishment and stopped the sweet laughter. It made Leon feel a little disappointed.

"Don't seduce me, Mr. Wellington !"

"It's up to you to consider what. But I'm serious. You're so pretty when you laugh on appeal to cry like that."

Aru's eyes rounded in disbelief as the sentence was thrown from the mouth of the man beside her. So, Leon saw it all, right ? What if he tells Charlie and his family ?

"I beg you ! Don't tell anyone about it."

"Why ?" Asked Leon with raised eyebrows.

"I just don't want Charlie's family to worry about me anymore."

"But there are conditions."

"What ?"

"Be my friend !" Said Leon with outstretched hands.

Without a second thought, Arumi received Leon's hand. The woman agreed on the conditions that Leon proposed as long as Leon could fulfill his promise. Although there was a bit of hesitation in his heart considering Leon was a stranger he had just met. But it's okay, isn't it ? There is no way Leon is a bad guy while his family is a respectable noble who is disinclined. Supposedly, Arumi did not need to worry about it. It's just friends.
