Dusk In Moorea

HR#54

Arumi washed her face in front of the bathroom glass. Let the fresh water mix with the tears that had already wet both cheeks. The beautiful girl looked at her face inside the mirror reflection with a look of pity. Self-pity.

Why does it have to be like this again ? Why should I fall in love with a man who has another woman already ? What is my fault, God ? Why is my fate always this sad ?

Arumi gripped tightly on the edge of the sink. He was bowed in and shed his pain in a cry he could no longer endure.

Why does it have to be like this ? Why can Leon be this bad to me, too ? Do I really look like a toy to her ?

There were some female employees who were engrossed in telling me about approaching the toilet where she now lives. Arumi immediately ran into one of the rooms and locked herself in there. Her tears tried to be removed so as not to create suspicion for others.

"Did you see Miss Claire and her fiance ? Oh my... They're really very compatible." Woman A starts the conversation.

"Yes. I think so too. What I hear is Miss Claire's fiancee is Duke Xander's only son. You know who he is ?" Woman B added.

"Yes. We're familiar. Who does not know the important officials and wealthy businessmen ? I envy Miss Claire. She's got a really perfect husband-to-be." Woman C also expressed her heart.

"Yes. The Young Master of the Wellington family is really handsome. Not to mention he's the sole heir of Duke Xander. Do you also know the family of the late Duchess Greysha ? I hear, she also has wealth assets that are not less large than her husband. Miss Claire really is a lucky woman to have a handsome and wealthy husband." Woman B is back.

"Why aren't we the only ones getting married to young Mr Wellington ?" Woman C sounds very hopeful.

"Rescious ! You think people born with golden spoons seem to want to glance at low castes like us ? C'mon ! Don't dream ! This is not a fairy tale world. It's reality. Where is the story of the poor and the rich being together in the real world ? Especially with social status and noble lineage like Young Master Wellington. Surely he will only glance at groups like us to be made a doll that he can throw away at any time if he is bored. After that, of course he will return to his beautiful and equal wife." Bright Woman A long.

"Yes. Young Master rich and famous celebrity. They're a perfect couple."

Arumi who was in the toilet room overheard the conversation of the three women seriously. Everything they say feels right. Yep. There's no way Leon could fall in love with her this easily. It was impossible for a person like him to be able to obtain a place in Leon's heart in just a short time. Thinking about all his stupidity that had believed the young man's words made Arumi again shed his tears.

You stupid girl Aru ! Stupid ! Stupid ! Stupid ! The girl muttered to herself inwardly.

He recalled his meeting with Zack a few days ago. At that time, Zack said something that had made Arumi immediately stunned. Something that was expressed unconsciously by Zack who was then only recognized as a joke material by Leon's best friend.

"Yes. *I love Leon, Zack. Love her so much." Arumi answers when Zack asks about Arumi's true feelings for Leon.

Zack was silent for a while. His eyes locked onto Arumi's figure who looked a little awkward because of her actions.

"He's just gonna hurt you !" Zack muttered involuntarily.

"What ?" Arumi asked to make sure.

"Ha ? Did I say something ?" Asked the young man.

"You said he'd only hurt you. What's that line you're pointing at for me ?"

"Office musical drama ? Is there such a thing ?" Arumi asked in wonder.

"of course. Do you know that I work for a company that is engaged in the television industry ? Of course it exists and is even contested every year."

Arumi the mangosteen examined Zack's long sentence. It's possible that such a strange thing does exist and Arumi doesn't know. Naturally, since he had indeed never worked in such a field before*.

Feeling that she has been sitting in the toilet for a long time, Arumi decides to return to Lady Nastya's room to meet Claire and Leon. He should be as professional as possible by not mixing up personal and work issues. Even though he is not okay, Arumi still stepped hard. Letting the pieces of his heart fall scattered and shattered one by one.

"Sorry Madam ! I'm a little long." Said Arumi while trying to strengthen the heart.

There was no intention to glance at Leon for even a second. Arumi felt that she would not be able to stem her cries anymore if she had to look at the face of a man who had fooled her. Playing Aru like a doll was exactly what the women he had heard in the toilet said.

"Are you okay ? Is your pain still not healed ?" Madam Nastya said anxiously .

Hearing Madam Nastya's words, Leon immediately shocked himself in his place. Is Arumi sick ? What pain ? Leon's feelings were increasingly shrouded in worry.

"I'm fine, madam. Just a little stomach pain." Elak Arumi was good.

Madam Nastya nodded in confidence. Claire smiled wryly while Leon continued to feel worried.

"You guys are better into the fittings room. It'll be easier to try your clothes there than in here." Mrs Nastya's Proposal.

"All right ! Aru, can you take us ?" Claire Sahut.

"of course. Come with me !" Arumi said serah possible.

The three of them walked together. Only, Arumi slightly led the way by two steps faster while Claire and Leon caught up behind.

Arumi squeezed both of her hands. He took a breath as long as possible in order to expel the tightness that is spreading. For whatever sake ! Arumi did not want to cry in front of Leon and Claire. Moreover, Claire must not know about the relationship between Arumi and Leon all this time. Evidently from the way the woman who remained friendly to Arumi until now.

They arrived at the fitting room. Arumi took Leon's suit and gave it to the man. The man who broke his heart a second time.

"This is your bridal suit. Please try !" Arumi said coldly without any intention of looking at Leon's face in the slightest.

Leon receives the suit that Arumi gave him while trying to hold the girl's fingers. However, disappointment should he swallow as the girl quickly moved her hand and went away. As if he did not want to be touched by her even a detail. Arumi's reluctant flat gaze staring at her face also further crushed Leon.

Why is this sick being ignored by you Aru ?
