Dusk In Moorea

A taste that has not been realized

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Leon could only be stunned when he heard the sentence that Charlie had just laid a minute ago. He never thought that the beautiful girl who was very curious and even expressed love unconsciously had already married another man.

Leon rubbed his face rough. Somehow, he felt very disappointed because of the new fact that Charlie had just talked about. Means the man who makes Arumi always cry alone on this island is her ex-husband. And for some reason, Leon didn't like it very much.

Feeling that his emotions were now on the edge, Leon sighed at the next wine glass with expensive bottles lined up on the table with his forearm. He also does not know, why his heart can be this hot to hear that Arumi has been married.

It is even hotter with the fact that Arumi always cries for her ex-husband and has not been able to forget him. What kind of man has dumped Arumi so that he can't glance at a Leon in the slightest ? Whereas other women, just the first to meet him had tried half to die to get a Leon.

"What are you doing, Leon ? Are you crazy ?" Zack asked frantically who immediately approached Leon when he heard the sound of goods breaking from the direction of the living room.

"I don't know, Zack ! But it feels like my heart is burning ! I can't control my own emotions." Leon sat back on the sofa with his breath up and down. She grabbed her hair in frustration at being confused by her own feelings.

"What happened, really ? What did that tomboy girl say until you got like this, huh ?" Zack asked as he cleaned up the broken glass strewn across the floor.

"That's it, Zack ! I don't want to talk about it right now." Leon's sigh was frustrated. He leaned his head against the back of the sofa and slowly closed his eyes. He really looks chaotic since meeting and getting acquainted with the Asian girl who has a charming face.

There is something in Arumi that makes Leon feel calm and peaceful. Every time Arumi spread her beautiful smile, Leon always felt time stop at that very second.

"Prepare to sleep if you don't want to talk about it." Zack's orders are now mopping the floor because Leon broke an expensive drink bottle on the floor.

"Hmmm. Thank you !" Leon got up, patted Zack on the shoulder for a while and climbed the stairs to his room. Maybe with sleep can indeed make Leon forget everything that has happened. While Zack only shook his head concernedly watching Leon who stepped foot up the stairs. I don't know what happened to his best friend.

"Char, where are you from ? Uncle Charles and Aunty Bella have been looking for you." Pekik Arumi was worried when he found Charlie walking into the courtyard of the resort where they were staying.

"I'm just going for a walk ! Don't worry !" Charlie patted Arumi on the shoulder with a smile.

"At least, Char ! Especially it's late at night. A walk where have you been ?"

"Calm down, Aru ! I'm just walking around here, all right. I'm not going anywhere."

"Explain that to Aunty Bella and Uncle Charles inside. I don't want to get involved at all." Said Arumi firmly while raising both of her hands.

"Alright, fine ! I'll explain it to them myself. You satisfied ?"

Arumi smiled and nodded. In his hand, Charlie goes inside to meet Charlie's parents, who have been anxious since. His second step came to a halt in front of the living room when he found Charlie's parents walking back and forth in agitation.

"Oh, God ! Where have you been, bad boy ?" Aunty Bella asked in an angry and grateful tone. Finally, the only princess puppet successor to their only family returned as well.

"Sorry, Mom ! Charlie's just been out for a little walk around here."

"Sick, Dad ! Please let go !" Ringis Charlie tries to free himself from his father's death.

"How many times does Daddy have to remind you that you're a girl, Char ! Can't you just shut up and act nice at home ?" Mr's Nausea. Charles will continue. The look on his face really looked very worried.

Arumi just kept quiet and took a seat a bit away from them. Seeing the small quarrel between family members that he was witnessing really made Arumi feel envious. If it were his father, Jonathan would have done the same thing Uncle Charles did to Charlie.

Touched, Arumi involuntarily shed tears. Seeing how harmonious the Charlie family makes Arumi also miss his family. Especially the mother who has been called the creator first. If her biological mother were still alive, Arumi's life would not end this tragic.

"Aru ! Please take Charlie back to the room. Make sure this bad boy won't do the same thing again." Shouted Mr. Charles who immediately dispelled Arumi's delusion. Immediately he got up from the chair he was sitting on and immediately ran to grab Charlie's arm and pulled him up.

"Then we go Uncle ! Good night and have a good rest, Aunty, uncle !"

Arumi led Charlie and sat his best friend in the front seat of the dresser. He held onto both of Charlie's shoulders with eyes squinting full of probes at his best friend.

"You can lie to uncle and aunty, but not to me, Char ! Say ! Where have you been at this late hour ?"

"I told you I'm out of sightseeing." Charlie laughed in a made up manner. It is clear that he is lying.

Arumi sighed then held both sides of her waist while looking at Charlie. Of course Arumi knew very well that Charlie was still trying to cover something from her.

"Charlie, I told you you can't lie to me !"

Charlie looked back at Arumi. He sighed while lowering his shoulders. He's capitulating. Arumi was the least he could lie to.

"I saw Leon earlier."

"Leon ? Why ?" Ask Arumi surprised. Don't let Charlie do anything bad just because of him.

"Just talk about something." Charlie replied with a small smile.

"About what ? What about me, Char ?"

"Yes." Yeah." Charlie replied a little badly. Afraid that Arumi will be angry because of his attitude that acts alone without asking for Arumi's opinion first.

"Good God, Charlie ! You're crazy already ? Why do you exaggerate this matter ? I don't want to be in touch with that guy anymore. So, what did you meet him for ?"

"I'm just telling him that you're not a girl he can play with as he pleases. I told him to stay away from you. Is that wrong ?" Charlie's tone of voice rose slightly with teary eyes.

Hearing that, Arumi felt very touched. No one else has been this cool all his life but the tomboy girl in front of him right now.

"Come here !" Arumi hugged Charlie with a bad feeling. Charlie was indeed a person who loved him very sincerely. Somehow Arumi lives ahead of him if he doesn't have Charlie.

Seriate...
