Dusk In Moorea

HR#76

A few days later, Arumi had already started to exit her apartment. Walking around while looking for shophouses for him to occupy opens a new business. However, until the afternoon around his residence, Arumi has not found the right location.

Tired of going around, the girl decided to return to the apartment. When he was about to open the door, he was surprised by Selina's greeting who had just come out of the apartment unit right next to Arumi.

"Arumy ? Apparently you live here too ?" Selina's smile was beautiful. Just wearing a knee-length red dress with original hair tied without thick makeup, was enough to radiate the aura of the beauty of the woman perfectly.

"Kau tinggal di sini ?" Arumi bertanya memastikan.

"Yes. My apartment. I didn't think we were neighbors. In fact, obviously yesterday Devan said that you don't live here" Selina said. Feeling Devan is a big liar for telling him false news about Arumi's residence.

Arumi scratched her non-itchy nape. It was clearly not Devan's fault but his fault. However, how to explain the situation to Selina if it was already like this ?

"Where do you want to go, Selina ?" Arumi asked to switch the conversation.

"Buying lunch at the restaurant below. I'm hungry" Selina replied.

"Want to eat at my place ? That's also if you want to wait for me to cook for us," Arumi offered.

"You can cook, Aru ?" selina asked with sparkling eyes. It was as if he had just discovered one of the seven wonders of the world.

"Of course," Arumi nodded with a laugh looking at how innocent Selina's facial expression was.

"Come in !" take Arumi along shortly after opening the door of her apartment.

Arumi put her bag in the living room and walked into the kitchen area. Selina still faithfully followed behind and sat in the kitchen bar. The beautiful woman propped up her chin with both hands while watching Arumi who nimbly took out some groceries from inside the refrigerator.

"Since when can you cook, Aru ?" selina asked breaking the silence. He who was amazed to see how clever Arumi cut a variety of vegetables and chicken quickly very, very curious.

"Hmmm... Maybe since I was 10 years old," replied Arumi unsure. He could not remember when he first started learning to cook. However, what he remembered, he was still very young at that time.

"Wow ! You're great, Aru ! I've only been able to cook water until now" Selina grinned herself. Feeling a little embarrassed because he just expressed one of his shortcomings in front of a woman he just knew yesterday.

"When you're married, you'll learn slowly, too. Don't worry !" Arumi smile. Giving entertainment to Selina who was a little discouraged.

About 30 minutes waiting, delicious food is served on the table. Not the fancy menu that Arumi made. Just a home menu but quite inviting taste. There is capcay, fried chicken complete with sambalnya and also fried shrimp flour. The delicious aroma that pierced the nose increasingly made the worms in the stomach Selina charge to be fed.

"Can I eat now ?" selina asked Arumi who was fetching water in the kitchen.

"Of course," Arumi's kekeh is so entertained by Selina's behavior that turns out to be far different from her character in the films that often the girl starred.

After putting drinking water on the dining table, Arumi joined Selina. Their dinner is just interspersed with a light conversation about work and a little love story between Selina and Devan. The two began to seem so familiar in a countless amount of time.

"So, you're looking for a shophouse for a place of business ?" ask Selina to make sure.

"I think Devan still has some shophouses that he hasn't contracted with. Are you interested in taking a look ? Maybe something matches your taste !" selina suddenly.

"really ? I want to if there is one," replied Arumi who felt she had a little hope.

"All right ! I'll call Devan first ! If there is, tomorrow I will accompany you, to look around," Selina said, calling Devan. He also slightly inched away from Arumi.

After her conversation with Devan on the phone ended, Selina's smile immediately re-emerged.

"Said Devan, he has one shophouse that he thinks is very fitting and in accordance with your wishes !"

"really ?" Arumi was shocked in disbelief.

"Yes. And tomorrow, at 8 am, Devan will invite us to take a look" Selina said happily.

"Are you not busy ?"

"No. Tomorrow I'm off to film, while Devan will only be at 10am to attend a board meeting at his office."

"thank you. Sorry for bothering you !"

"No problem, Aru ! Me and Devan are happy to help you."

The next day, Arumi leaves with Devan and Selina to see Devan's recommended shophouse last night. Its location is in the city center. Not far from their apartment but very strategic. The shop is located in rows of various other shophouses which are also boutiques and some supermarkets and small dining places. The atmosphere there looked crowded and many people passed by. Without a second thought, Arumi immediately agreed to take the two-story shophouse. The problem of rent, of course, getting a little discount from Devan who incidentally is one of Arumi's friends. The man even wanted to give Arumi only half the price of the rent that other people used to pay. However, the girl quickly refused and in the end agreed to a 20 percent discount off the price that should have been.

"Now, I just have to open a job vacancy and buy some materials to make my own clothes," said Arumi satisfied on the way home.

"So, you want to design your clothes and sew them yourself, Aru ? That sounds amazing !" selina said, increasingly amazed at the woman who was sitting on the back bench.

"of course. I'm a designer, Selina ! The plan, I will also market my clothes online ! I hear, the online market is being interested a lot at this time," continued Arumi.

"Then let me be the model" Selina said enthusiastically.

"You want to ?"

"Of course ! You're Devan's friend and now my friend. There's no reason not to help you, Aru !"

"thank you. You're so good, Selina ! Sis Devan is in love with you !" Arumi flicked as she rolled her eyes towards Selina and Devan alternately.

Devan who glanced from the rearview mirror only shook his head with a small smile. Arumi's words were not wrong. Selina is a good girl. Although, he was a top celebrity, his future wife was not an arrogant person. That is what makes Devan who was heartbroken because Arumi apparently chose to marry Irgi again to find love.

Behind the graceful and mature attitude that the girl always appears in front of the screen, Selina was originally a girl who was very innocent and what she was. Not infrequently, his kindness is utilized by some people who disguise friends. And that makes Devan so overprotective of his future wife. But now, Devan is starting to calm down. He was sure, Arumi could be a good friend for Selina in the future.
