"Later in the evening, you two have to prepare. Mr. Kovalev, daddy's colleague will invite us to his wedding anniversary tonight." Excited Charlie's father warned before he set off to attend the meeting again.
Charlie and Arumi who were still engrossed in enjoying their breakfast at the dinner table looked at each other and frowned in confusion.
"Should we come, dad ?" Ask Charlie.
"Should. You two are obliged to come. And you, Aru ! Do you remember the twin boys you played with yesterday ?"
"Yes. Sure, uncle." Anguk Arumi's.
"They both really like you, baby. So, Mr. Kovalev and his wife really wish you could come."
"Sure, uncle ! Aru and Charlie will definitely come." Charlie immediately elbowed Arumi's arm which was glared back by the beautiful girl.
After Charlie's father passed, Arumi then returned the treatment of his best friend by awarding a death pinch.
"What the fuck are you ?" Arumi was upset. He almost choked on food because of Charlie.
"You're the shit ? Why are you even obeying daddy's orders, anyway ?" Charlie's reply was no less fierce.
"Why indeed ?" Arumi stabbed a sausage with a fork she held and put it in her mouth.
"Don't you know what kind of party we're going to ?"
"A party with a formal theme, isn't it ?" Reply Arumi relax.
"And you know what that means ?" Charlie brought his face closer to Arumi very seriously.
"What ?" Arumi's Whispe.
"That means a graceful party dress, Aru !" Shouted Charlie suddenly. " Oh, God ! I can wear clothes like that. Especially having to wear make-up. That's impossible."
Arumi laughed out loud at Charlie's confession. Apparently Charlie hasn't changed. She still does not like to wear feminine clothes and make up like other girls of their age. Charlie remained faithful to his tomboyish style and innocent face despite growing up.
"Yes, I get it. But, can't we go home sooner if you feel uncomfortable ?"
"That's impossible, Aru ! You know for yourself how my daddy and mommy are. They'll be busy introducing me to their business partners to be paired up with their kids."
"That's great ! It's time you should have a lover, Char !"
Back, Arumi laughed out loud. Charlie who was already very stressed because he imagined himself wearing dresses and makeup on the face increasingly irritated. Without warning, Charlie had already pinched Arumi's arm very hard.
"It hurts, Char !" Shouted Arumi while rubbing the former pinch of Charlie who looked red on the surface of his white skin.
"Eat him, don't be ignorant."
"Who is ignorant ?" Arumi protest was unacceptable.
"Who told you to laugh at me." Grunts Charlie annoyed.

Leon sat on the sofa with his face down and fingers intertwined with each other . Next to him, there is Zack who is not much different from the situation with Leon. The two men were being extremely tense and frightened right now.
Duke Xander, Leon's real father suddenly came without any notice at all. It made both Leon and Zack really panicked and nervous.
"So, explain it to daddy ! Why did you disappear without news and be on this island ?" Duke Xander's heavy voice further added to the aura of fear of the two young men.
Leon and Zack are at each other. No one dared to answer.
"Leon, answer me !" Snapped Duke Xander furious. He did not expect at all that the son who had been missing for a week more from the house without news was hiding on this island. Luckily, Duke Xander got a wedding invitation from Mr. Kovale. Otherwise, he would have still been at a loss to discover where his son was.
"But, dad..." Leon ventured to raise his head and protest before his father cut him off.
"There's no but-but. Don't try to argue with daddy, Leon !" Duke Xander's growled with emphasis.
He then looked at Leon and Zack in turn.
"Prepare, tonight come with daddy to Mr.'s wedding anniversary party. Kovalev." Duke Xander then stepped away before Leon could answer.
Ah ! It's not like that. The commandment was not something Leon had to answer but something he had to do. Like it or not, if the father has decided, then Leon is obliged to obey all the words of Duke Xander.
Leon's father who was very hard and firm was someone who made Leon feel very depressed. He always felt that Duke Xander was the rule of life that Leon had to abide by. Everything in Leon's life must be based on his father's decision.
Including his engagement to Jane. Leon and the woman have been married to Duke Xander since they were 5 years old. Even worse, who Leon is friends with must also be in accordance with the wishes of Duke Xander. That is what triggered Leon to carry out the first rebellion in life, namely by escaping to this island. However, he was discovered by his father so quickly.
"You all right, buddy ?" Entertain Zack shortly after Duke Xander climbs into his room to rest.
"It really sucks, Zack ! Why can't I fight that guy at all ?" Leon got angry at himself.
Zack patted Leon's shoulder concerned. "Already ! At least Duke Xander didn't punish you this time."
"Fuck with punishment, Zack ! As long as I am free and determine my own way of life, I am fine. I'm sick of having to be treated like a doll by her."
"I understand, but what do we do ?"
Leon rubbed his face rough. Zack's right. She can what ? Threatened a little by his father, Leon's guts have shrunk. Especially if you want to fight further. He would forever live like this if Leon's mouth remained reluctant to make a sound. Unfortunately, for the sake of doing so, Leon has yet to have a trigger. He was still too afraid to voice his heart in front of his father.
The night is coming and the party is about to begin. Arumi was dressing Charlie very seriously.
"Have finished what yet ? Why so long ?" Grumpy Charlie impatiently.
"Patience ! Keep your eyes closed and open when I let you." Arumi was still busy putting eyeshadow on Charlie's eyelids.
"Review if you turn my face into a clown, Aru !"
"That would only happen if your duck mouth wouldn't shut up." Threaten Arumi while touching Charlie's sweet lips.
"Now, you can open your eyes !"
Arumi held both sides of Charlie's shoulder as she stared at the mirror. Waiting enthusiastically for what expression Charlie will be showing.
"Gosh !" Charlie jumped onto the chair he was sitting on while pointing at the cermjn in shock.
"What's up ?" Ask Arumi in panic.
"Who's the pretty girl in there, Aru ? Is that me or an angel ?" He said praising himself.
Arumi hits Charlie on the head in return. However, the tomboyish girl did not appear to be pinched and preferred to approach the mirror to pay close attention to her face.
"You're really talented, Aru !" Praise Charlie for making Arumi blush.
"Don't overdo it !" Answer smiled.
"No !" Charlie shouted then turned to look at Arumi while holding her face.
"Not your makeup is good, but I'm already beautiful from there."
Arumi laughed with great force. Really ! Charlie is really testing Arumi's patience. Just now he makes Arumi float with praise that he throws, but the next split second, Charlie actually slams Arumi back to earth without cueing.
Which knife is the knife ? It could be, Arumi will be arrested with a murder case against his own best friend because of this problem.
Seriate...
