Dusk In Moorea

HR#68

It was already night time when Arumi returned to the mansion. Charles, Isabella and Charlie were relaxing in the living room while watching TV. Arumi took a slow step, watching the little family from a distance. Unknowingly, the girl smiled as well as cried. Smiling at Charles' work will return, but crying because it means he has to return to Indonesia. Leaving behind a family that for several months had already considered her like a princess herself. A sacrifice that Arumi feels is worth it for the family as well as they are.

Arumi now stepped up to the top of her bedroom. The girl immediately threw her body onto the bed while staring at the ceiling of her room. He just put his bag next to him. Shortly after, the sound of incoming message notification on the phone that was still in the bag made the girl's attention distracted. Arumi rushed to pick up her phone and opened the message that had just entered.

Duke Xander: ''s :

Charles Aldric's work I've returned. Better, keep your promise as soon as possible. Don't make me wait.

Arumi sighed then kept her phone on the nightstand. The girl then moved out of the room when cheers were heard from the ground floor. The curious Arumi decided to go downstairs, seeing what had actually happened.

"What is this ?" asked Arumi when she arrived at the family room. The source of the noise came from.

Seeing Arumi who was standing not far from them, Isabella approached and immediately hugged Arumi. The woman shed her happy tears.

"Aru, your Uncle is rising !" isabella said gladly.

"Oh yeah ?" ask Arumi to make sure.

"Yes. Just now your Uncle boss called and told me your Uncle's rising up ! This is really shocking news !" answer Isabella.

Arumi smiled happily. He approached Charles to give the man he thought was his own father a congratulatory note.

"Uncle !" call Arumi.

"Aru !" charles smiled.

Arumi immediately slid into Charles' arms. The girl shed tears but quickly drowned.

"Happy Uncle ! Aru was happy !" the girl was sincere.

"Yes. Thank you, dear !" charles broke their arms.

"In that case, shouldn't this be celebrated ?" charlie sat on the table.

"All right ! Let's get ready ! We're having dinner outside !" charles was enthusiastic.

"Yey !" Charlie cheered happily. " Aru ! Let's get ready quickly !" continued Charlie while pulling Arumi's hand to the top.

After the departure of Charlie and Arumi, Isabella approached her husband and kissed his lips briefly. Her happy smile was still clearly on her beautiful face.

"Darling, don't you think there's anything a little weird ?" charles asked his wife. The man had felt something was off since his boss called and said he was called to work again and would instead rise one level higher than his previous post as a request sorry.

"What's so weird ?" Isabella asked back.

"Why suddenly Mr. Hemsworth called me to work again and instead took office after a few days ago he himself fired me at Duke Xander's request ?" charles was suspicious.

Isabella thought hard. Right her husband said. Why does it all sound so made up ? As if, all this was just a game that was controlled by someone. The one who certainly has a very big power is Duke Xander. However, the question is, what was the man looking for ?

Charles also nodded. " yes. I think it's like that, too" Charles replied.

"But why did he suddenly return your job ?" isabella was confused.

"Entai ! Hopefully the reason is not a bad one" replied Charles who actually also has no answer to the question.

Arriving at a restaurant that Charlie recommended, the four of them went in and ordered a table. Everyone's enjoying dinner today with jokes and Charlie's pranks. Everything looks so very happy.

"You guys happy ?" Charles asked his family on the way home.

"Of course, Dad !" charlie Sumringah. The girl smiled broadly considering that she was the one who ate the most of them all.

"And you're Aru ?" charles asked Arumi, who had been silent all the way home.

"No, Uncle !" the girl's bell was weak.

"Why ? Is something happening again ?" sergeant Isabella fast. The woman looked at the back seat and looked at Arumi with an anxious look.

"Aru is not used to eating raw food, Aunty !" answer the girl honestly.

Charles and Isabella laughed. And so did Charlie. Indeed, Charlie's recommended restaurant is a Japanese restaurant. Only Sushi and Sashimi did Charlie order for their dinner. His favorite food alone without thinking that maybe there are family members who do not like the menu. Arumi who does not like Japanese food can only bite her finger because she is embarrassed to order another menu again. Of course, it also cannot be separated from the insensitive actions of Charlie.

Earlier, when the waiter asked if there was another order or not, Arumi just wanted to make a sound to order another menu. But unfortunately, Charlie had already responded and said that their order was enough. As a result, Arumi just resigned and hold his revenge in the heart.

Arriving home, Arumi asks permission to rest first. The reason, because he was already sleepy. In fact, the honest reason is to think about the reason how to tell the Aldric family that he will return to Indonesia at Duke Xander's request.

The proud man has kept his promise. So for now, Arumi also had to do the same.

Arumi left for work this morning with Charlie. Since the girl was in a special afternoon lecture today, then she took the initiative to offer a ride to her best friend.

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay ?" Charlie glanced briefly at Arumi who was sitting beside him.

Arumi sighed. This question, I don't know how many times Arumi heard since this morning at the dinner table. He looked over and looked at Charlie who was still focusing on driving.

"Yes, Charlie ! I'm certain. Don't you see that I'm cured now ?"

"Yes. You're already healed. But only your physical injuries. But, what about the wound in your heart ?" Charlie grumble.o0mon

Aru sighed again. Charlie's words managed to make him recall the events of a few days ago.

"Don't worry, Char ! I'm stronger than you know. Believe !" arumi was convincing.

The girl who was focusing on driving was a little able to calm down because of Arumi's reply. Charlie breathed a sigh of relief, although his heart was still a little doubtful.
