Dusk In Moorea

Don't hurt my best friend !

Arumi stepped hurriedly into the resort with a tear-washed face. Immediately he climbed the stairs so that no one would see his current condition. Arriving at the room, Arumi immediately headed for the bed and threw her body while hugging the pillow. His body trembled with tears that were unceasingly flowing.

Arumi felt she had just been played by a man she had only known for 4 days. The man does not know that he is declaring love to a woman who has just been broken by love itself. Does Arumi look that easy in the eyes of men ? Whether Irgi the ex-husband, or Leon the foreign man, all of them looked down on Arumi.

"Who else hurt you this time ?" Charlie's voice echoed from the direction of the entrance.

Arumi immediately got up and sat down on the edge of the bed. Both of his arms stretched out waiting for Charlie who was still standing and leaning against the door to immediately hug him.

"Aru, what's up ? Who hurt you ? Say !" Lirih Charlie who is currently hugging Arumi tightly. His heart was saddened to hear the sad cry of the friend who did not also subside. Arumi's heart injury seems to be getting worse.

"Charlie ! Do I look so sloppy to men ?" Asked Arumi sobbing.

"What do you mean ? Who said such a thing ?" Charlie took off his embrace and switched to holding both of Arumi's shoulders with nyalang eyes holding back the anger.

Arumi shook her head while bowed. "none. It's just, are all men indeed brengs*k, Char ? Brother Irgi divorced me and married my own half-brother, and just now Leon said that he loves me. Am I that simple to make their joke material ?"

"What ? Leon said he likes you ? Really ?" Charlie's shock was not hidden.

"Yes. He said that. We've only known you for 4 days, Char ! And does she think I'm just a toy for her ?"

"No, Aru. No one thinks of you that way." Charlie looked at Arumi in concern as he wiped his best friend's tears. He knew very well that Arumi was hurt because he thought Leon was joking about something that for Arumi was not something that deserves to be made a joke. For that girl, love is not something you can lightly say and then after getting bored you can go as you please. Really ! Arumi did not want such love a second time.

"Say, Char ! What do I have to do now ? Why does it feel like my chest is claustrophobic ?" Arumi's cry has not subsided. Those tears were still rushing down her soft white cheeks.

"Don't be sad, Aru ! There will be no man who will judge you as handsome as long as there is me. Just relax !" Charlie hugged Arumi again while patting his best friend's shoulder slowly. Charlie probably appreciated Leon for his family's reputation. However, if he had dared to play his best friend, then that would be a much different thing.

"You stupid or what, Leon ? You could have expressed love so quickly to that Asian girl. Didn't I remind you that that girl isn't just any girl ?" Zack nagged as he walked back and forth in front of Leon who was sitting leaning back while pinching his head on the sofa.

Leon just sighed faintly. "I also don't know why that sentence came out, Zack ! Everything was outside my plan." He tried to defend himself.

Leon was honest. He did not know why the phrase love statement could come out so smoothly from his lips. It was as if he was hypnotized or something. The thoughts and actions he took were not at all Leon's usual style.

In the history of the man's romance, only this time he expressed feelings for women first. Usually, it is the women who chase Leon like ants clinging to sugar. However, the incident almost made Leon hit his own head on the rock.

Since when did he go down the caste by expressing feelings for women ? Especially with a woman he had only known for 4 days. And even more sad, he was rejected raw. Leon Wyatt Wellington is completely demoted by an Asian girl whose origins are unclear.

"Are you drunk or what, huh ? You can act so foolishly and demean your own reputation."

"Stop babbling, Zack ! I don't need your talk for now." Leon took a sip of the wine he had just poured. Then back to his head while playing the wine glass in the grip of his right hand.

The sound of the front door bell immediately stopped Leon's activities. Staring at each other with Zack, the two raised confused eyebrows guessing who the guests were night-time-guesting to their place.

Zack gulped his saliva rough. Want to protest but Leon has hidden first in the kitchen. Inevitably, Zack came forward and ventured forward to open the door.

"Where's Leon ?" A blonde haired woman with a short cut asked in a slightly slender tone. He looked fiercely at Zack who had just opened the door for him.

"You ? Aren't you the Asian girl's best friend ?" Zack guessed with his hands pointed right in front of Charlie's face.

"If so, why ? Is there a problem ?" Charlie sizzled with both hands he placed on his waist.

"Do you want to meet Leon ?" Ask Zack wonder.

"It's none of your business ! Now where is she ?"

Shortly after, the one Charlie was looking for finally appeared. Leon who eavesdropped on their conversation from the inside came out when he found out that the one who came to the guest was a woman and not her father.

"Charlie ? Hey, what's up ?" Sapa Leon smiled.

"Can we talk ?" Charlie said in a serious tone. Now his hand was folded in front of his chest.

"About ?"

"My best friend, Arumi."

"All right ! Please come in !" Said Leon.

Judging from the expression of the tomboyish girl who had just entered and walked past him, Leon already knew that Charlie had come here to say something serious about Arumi. It'sit's okay. Let Charlie nag as much as Leon as long as the tomboy girl can divulge a little secret about Arumi that makes him very curious.

"Leon, I respect you and am polite to you just because you are the son of Duke Xander ! But, if you hurt Arumi one more time, then I'll gladly break those limits." Charlie said without further ado after he and Leon sat down and talked together.

"What do you mean ? I don't understand." Reply Leon with a small laugh.

"What is your purpose in saying love to Aru, while you have only known Aru for 4 days ?"

"That's... I'm..." Leon gasped and looked frantically about to answer Charlie's question. Honestly, he had not gotten an answer to that question until this very moment.

"If you intend to play around, then I suggest that you look for another girl and not Aru ! She's not the girl you can play with as you please, Mr. Wellington."

"Why did you suddenly turn formal so ? Just relax ! Stay as usual when you're talking to me." Leon smile. Trying to persuade her to change Charlie's nickname for him.

"Sorry, Mr. Wellington. If you don't hurt my best friend, maybe we can still get along as usual. But baby, you let me down because you have incised the same wounds as Aru's ex-husband even though your ways are different."

"Former husband ? Arumi is married ?" Leon's body froze. He could not believe that the Asian girl he really liked to see was already married.

"Yes, he's been married. So, please ! Stay away from Aru from now on !" Close Charlie ends the conversation. He then got up and rushed away from the place right now and left Leon who was still staring with his disbelief.
