Dusk In Moorea

HR#49

One week passed felt a century for the Asian girl who every day awaits news and the arrival of the figure of the man she loves. Almost every time Arumi turned her head around the boutique to look for the existence of brunette-haired man who had filled her heart for some time. There's none. Missing. The man was never seen anywhere.

Arumi seemed to lose the spirit of life. He repeatedly called or texted Leon but was never responded to by the man. Where did Leon go ? Is he okay ?

Question after question kept popping up in Arumi's mind. The girl chose to keep herself busy by speeding up her work on Claire's wedding dress to take her mind off. Not infrequently, Arumi deliberately overtime in the store alone to drive out Leon's shadow.

Being away from the young man really made Arumi aware of how much he loved Leon. Despite being far apart, the love is actually increasingly popping up to fill Arumi's chest cavity. Unknowingly, a drop of clear crystal escaped the corner of her eye that was focusing on watching her fingers put small sequins on the evening dress ordered by a socialite.

"Aru, are you okay ?" Madame Nastya touched Arumi's shoulder slowly. It made Arumi instantly realize that she had just cried.

"I'm fine, ma'am. Don't worry." Arumi smiled as she wiped the tears that flowed down her cheeks.

"What's the matter, baby ? Is there a problem that bothers you ?" Ask Madam Nastya worriedly.

Since then, she has been watching Arumi. Not even just that. Days before, he had seen that the behavior of one of his employees felt a little different. Arumi who usually spreads a big smile on anyone lately is more often daydreaming and aloof.

"There is no Madam. There's absolutely nothing." Answer lies. She refocused on the dress she was working on to show Ms. Nastya that she was fine.

Dear. The tears could not be invited to work together to lie to Madam Nastya. He presumptuously continued to flow out without orders from the owner. Seeing that, Madam Nastya immediately held Arumi's cheek. She wiped away the girl's tears with concern.

"If there's no problem, why are you crying baby ?"

"No. Aru no....." Arumi's eyes widened when she touched her own face. It feels wet there. In the next instant he turned his back to Lady Nastya to wipe away the tears that came out unconsciously.

"Sorry Madam. I don't realize if my tears come out." After turning back to face his boss. He really did not know why his tears could come out without him noticing.

Madam Nastya let out a heavy sigh. His face was becoming more and more of a great worry.

"You better go home Aru ! Calm yourself. I don't want you to get sick if you keep pushing yourself to work in this condition."

"No Madam. I'm fine." Arumi refused Madam Nastya's orders while still busying herself with the dress she was wearing.

"Aru ! Please ! Follow my. Yes ?" Please Lady Nastya while holding both Arumi's shoulders.

The Asian girl seemed to think for a moment. His hands removed the measuring tape he had clad around his neck.

"Then, what about this dress ?" Arumi stared at the new dress 70 percent already in the sequins.

"Let your friends do it. You just go home first !" Madam Nastya said with a smile.

Resignedly. Arumi finally nodded. Her steps gontai grabbed the bag at her desk then hugged Madam Nastya briefly before walking out of her room. He intends to go home even though his heart actually does not intend to do that. If he comes home alone in the room, he misses Leon even more. And Arumi did not want herself to be tormented again for holding back those feelings.

Arumi walked down the sidewalk in an indeterminate direction. He just kept going where his pair of legs were going to take him. Looks like some couples who are busy laughing together while passing through it. Back reminded Arumi of the figure of Leon who for one week he had missed.

"Where are you ? Are you okay ?" Arumi muttered with a barely audible voice.

"Aru ?" Someone patted Arumi on the shoulder from behind. The girl was immediately attracted from the daydream that had washed her away. His brows furrowed to see who greeted him. Someone he knew well enough of.

"Zack ?" Ask doubtfully. He remembered the man's face but slightly forgot his name. Is he really Zack ? Aren't they ?

"What are you doing here ?" Ask Arumi again. The girl's gaze circled around Zack. As if looking for something.

Zack followed Arumi's gaze behind him. The young man could already guess what Arumi was looking for.

"I came alone. Leon's not with me." Said Zack who already knew what Arumi was thinking.

A disappointed look was clearly imprinted on Arumi's pretty face. The girl looked discouraged when she heard Zack's words.

"Is he okay ?" Asked Arumi with a squeaking voice full of anxiety.

"He's fine. Don't worry." Zack answered with a soothing smile.

"Want to have coffee together ?" Zack said as he pointed at a cafe across from them.

Arumi settled on the Cafe building for a while before nodding in favor of Zack's invitation. The two then walked hand in hand to enter the cafe and took an empty seat adjacent to the cashier table.

"Are you sure Leon's all right, Zack ?" Once again Arumi asked to make sure. He didn't want Zack to lie and say Leon was okay.

"of course. Didn't I just say ?"

"Then why can't his phone be called ?"

Zack scratched his non-itchy head. Confused to give a logical answer to Arumi without having to say the truth.

"Leon is working out of town. And there, the cell phone signal is very difficult. Maybe that's why he can't be contacted."

"Will he be there long ?"

"Maybe it's about three or four days away. I'm not sure either." Answer Zack.

Arumi nodded her head. Understand the explanation given by Zack.

"Aru ! Do you really love Leon ?" Suddenly, Zack's mouth was itching to ask Arumi about it.

While Arumi who heard it almost choked on the Ice Coffe Latte she was drinking.

"Why are you asking her ?"

"No. Just want to know." Answer the original Zack.

Arumi was silent and had yet to answer Zack's question. Making the man waiting for that answer finally give up and think Arumi will not want to answer.

"Already ! If you don't want to answer it's okay."

"I love Leon, Zack. I love her so much."
