Dusk In Moorea

HR#75

"Why are you laughing ? Do you think I'm kidding ?" devan asked astonished at the expression that Arumi displayed.

Arumi folded her lips. Muffled back the laughter that had already come out.

"Yes. Brother Devan must be joking. Where could Irgi's sister be looking for me. Is she in need of a baby sitter for her baby or what ?" said Arumi cynically. The girl resumed her eating.

"You don't know yet ?"

"Know what ?"

"Irgi and Beverly are divorced. Didn't your parents tell you ?" ask Devan full of questions.

The movement of Arumi's hand scooping the fried rice came to a halt. He also changed his sitting position a bit. Face to face with Devan's face.

"What ? How could ?" Arumi gasped in disbelief.

"You know Lily's pregnant, right ?"

"Yes. I know," nods Arumi. He clearly knows better than anyone. Isn't that why Irgi left her ?

"The boy is not Irgi's son. But, Beverly's son from another man," Devan continued.

Like being electrocuted, Arumi's body was suddenly shocked. The girl never expected the love story of Irgi and Beverly would end this tragic. Not much different from his own love story.

"Then, where is Sister Lily now ?"

"Didn't he go back to your house ?" Devan's eyes are back. Perhaps his guess was right. "Don't you never go back to your house again since that day, Aru ?"

Arumi shakes. Devan leaned his back limp onto the back of the chair.

"Then, where have you been all this time ? Who accompanied you when you were destroyed, Aru ? Why didn't you ever come to me ?"

"Will Brother Devan help me if I come to Brother Devan ?" Arumi's eyes began to flow back into the river. Clear droplets from there ready to fall back so fragile.

"Yes. Sure oes. I will always be there for you !" devan answered seriously.

Arumi bowed while wiping away the tears that came out. He laughed and pityed his own life. Why is it always an outsider who cares about her while her own family no one wants to do that for her ?

"Devan ?" the voice of a woman whistled in so gently into Arumi and Devan's ears. The two compactly turned to the source of the voice and found a woman wearing sunglasses and wearing a mask standing in front of them.

Devan immediately smiled then stood up to welcome the presence of the woman. He immediately hugged and gave a kiss on the forehead of the woman who had not opened the mask.

"Who is he ?" ask the woman and point at Arumi.

Devan turned. Standing beside the woman while smiling towards Arumi. Meanwhile, Arumi looked at Devan and the woman beside the man alternately. Slightly felt bad because Arumi could already guess that the woman must be Devan's lover.

"He's Arumi, my old friend. And Aru, this is Selina Gabriella, my fiance."

Arumi is familiar with Devan's fiancee's name. However, he could not remember where he had heard the name.Dregarding his curiosity, Arumi chose to stand up and extend a friendly hand towards Devan's fiancee.

"Hi, Arumi ! It's good to see you too. I'm Selina !" selina said as she revealed a little of her mask and showed Arumi her entire face.

Arumi reflex smothers her mouth when she wants to scream cheerfully. The person in front of her is Selina Gabriella, the famous movie star. It was only fitting that he felt very familiar with the name of the beautiful woman.

"You're that Selina ?" Arumi pointed to Selina's image on one of the posters of cosmetic products that were stuck on the restaurant's wall.

Selina followed Arumi's line of sight and nodded. The woman smiled even though she could not see Arumi because she was wearing a mask.

"Yes. I'm that Selina" Selina said.

"Aru, since you already know that Selina is my fiancee, can you keep it a secret to anyone ? Our relationship has not yet been made public. So, please help us, okay ?" chirps Devan.

"of course. Brother Devan don't worry. But, Aru also wants to ask the same thing to Kak Devan. Please keep our meeting secret from anyone. Especially to Irgi and my family."

Devan took a long breath. Arumi seemed to really hate Irgi this time. Really loved. When Irgi had started to want to get closer, now even Arumi who moved away.

Arumi threw her body into a comfortable hotel bed. For tonight, he will stay at this place. His apartment apparently needed a longer cleaning time on appeal.

The quiet atmosphere that only befriended the dim sleeping lights, now forced Arumi to think of the brunette-haired young man who had taken her heart away. Apart from the body of the girl to the point that it feels so torturous to know that her heart can only be broken by the young man.

"Why is it so hard just to forget you, Leon !" Arumi curled. Hugging the roll beside him while shedding tears. His broken heart was very difficult for him to reattach.

In the other hemisphere, the young man Arumi was crying over was also curled up in his bed. Crying all day because you feel lost. It's up to people to say that Leon is weak. What the young man knew was that losing was really hard to do. Not when Duchess Greysha left her when she was little, and not when Arumi left her when she started believing in love.

"Until when are you gonna keep going like this, Leon ?" Frederick stared concernedly at the body of his nephew who was curled up on the bed. Meanwhile, he himself was still faithfully standing in front of Leon's room door while leaning on the side of the door.

"Come, Uncle ! I don't know !" leon replied weakly.

Frederick let out a rough breath. He closed Leon's door again and rushed to meet his sister in the man's room who could torture his own son.

"Why did you come here ?" Duke Xander asked without looking.

"Until when are you gonna be stubborn like this, Xander ? Your son will really die if you don't want to budge like this" said Frederick, who refrained from hitting Duke Xander.

"I don't care, Fred ! Leon will give up torturing himself if he finds out that I didn't heed his request," Duke Xander said in a slightly loud tone. Too confident in his own thinking.

"You want to keep marrying Leon to Jane ?"

"Yes. I'll keep doing it. And nothing will change my decision, including you !"

"All right ! If that's your will, then do it ! But, remember carefully, Xander ! You will feel the consequences of this stubbornness of your head, sooner or later !" Frederick slammed the door of Duke Xander's room violently after he galloped out. Duke Xander could only close his eyes with tightly clenched hands down there.

"No regrets in my life, Fred ! Not like you !" Duke Xander growled holding back the outpouring of anger that had already accumulated within his chest. And, PRANG ! A flower vase that stood beautifully on the round table beside her was already scattered on the floor. Throwing away from the cold man's anger.
