Dusk In Moorea

HR#90

Irgi forced his two legs to work together in order to support his body gallantly again. Devan's appearance is like the answer to a question he just asked. He should have known who Arumi was. The man smiled in between the inflamed pain in the heart. A pain that will never have a cure despite going to a great doctor wherever it goes.

"So, you've completely forgotten me and prefer Devan ?" The voice is still shaking. Representing a taste that Irgi could not shout out loudly.

Arumi did not answer. It was impossible for him to admit that it was a lie. Arumi is not an expert at such things. Himself suck.

"Yes. You are right ! Arumi has chosen me. And I, I'll never waste that chance like you used to, Gi." Devan exclaimed as he stepped and clasped tightly around Arumi's waist.

His eyes were sharp against Irgi. Successfully convince ex-husband Arumi and his best friend that between him and Arumi is a reality. Just as Irgi thought.

Irgi looked up at Devan's friendly hand on Arumi's waist. Sending a signal to her that she really belongs to Devan and Irgi has absolutely no right to touch her in a single detail.

"You promised you'd never let Aru down, Dev ?" Irgi's sickly voice echoed on the sidelines of the sound of the rain that still rained down on the earth out there.

"of course. Aru is too precious to be disappointed, Gi ! And me, not a stupid man who would do such a thing." Devan answered firmly and convincingly. Forcing Arumi to look up at the face of the man who is currently saving his pride from chasing the ex-husband he has forgotten. Meanwhile, Devan's gaze was still unmoved. Keep locking Irgi as the target of his intimidation figure.

"I hope you keep your word, Dev !" Irgi used the rest of his energy to immediately drag his body away from there. It seems, he will not be able to be in the same room with Arumi and Devan in a longer time.

The pieces of his heart that scattered could not be taken one by one and he arranged again. Just leave it like that. Messy like a puzzle that can never be neatly arranged again unless Arumi does it voluntarily.

"Huh !!!" Devan sighed breathlessly after making sure Irgi was no more.

The man then closed the door to Arumi's office and sat in Arumi's office chair. He held his chest. Trying to neutralize the heartbeat that pumps twice as fast when acting seriously as before.

"I thought I was gonna get caught, Aru !" Devan puts his head on Arumi's desk. Honestly, he was nervous when he had to act like that in front of Irgi. For whatever reason, this is the first time for him. And, for a split second, he had doubt that Irgi would believe and swallow his nonsense.

"Thank you for helping me, sister !" Arumi hands Devan a glass of water.

The man straightened his back. He received the water that Arumi gave him and drank it to the toilet. Arumi smiled little looking at that.

"Sir Dev is suitable to be an actor," praised Arumi as she sat in the chair opposite her work chair which is currently controlled by Devan.

"Did you think my acting was convincing ?"

"Of course."

"Then get your things done now and come home with me !" break up Devan later.

"What's up ?" asked Arumi confused.

Devan shrugged both of his shoulders. "Entai ! I don't know either. I'm just carrying out a decree from my queen !" Devan smiles.

Arumi smiled and stood up and picked up the bag that was on the hanger. Arumi understood that it must be Selina who sent Devan here. He then put his phone in a bag and put on his denim jacket and grabbed Devan's arm to stand up.

"Let's go home !" bring Arumi to smile.

"Good !" Devan immediately got up and stepped with Arumi to leave.

Zack who was engrossed in playing PS next to him let out a rough sigh.

"Your wounds are still not dry, spoiled brat ! Have a little more patience" replied Zack.

"That's the answer you always say, Zack ! Is there nothing else ?" Leon ruffled his hair in frustration.

Zack paused his game. He put the game stick he was holding onto his lap and slightly drew his body to Leon. Zack smile.

"Nothing."

After saying that, he again grabbed the stick game and continued the game that had paused.

"You heartless brother !"

"And I'm too spoiled sister !"

The two looked at each other in silence before bursting out laughter simultaneously.

Duke Xander shut Leon's door again after seeing the intimacy of his two sons. The man smiled almost imperceptibly. Lie if he says he is unhappy about the change in his life that now feels really alive.

"You like peeping at them ?" Frederick was successful in surprising Duke Xander even though the flat man was able to master his expression back in a matter of seconds.

"It's none of your business !" Duke Xander walked away.

"I'll be back in England in two days !" shouted Frederick. Duke Xander's steps were held back instantly. And, in the next split second, he turned around and went back to his older brother.

"What ?" frederick asked puzzledly as Duke Xander just stood stiffly before him.

"Why are you so quick to come back ?"

"What else if it wasn't for my cut ?"

"Can't it be extended ?"

Frederick fell silent. His eyes squinted and looked astonishedly at his sister. Since when did Duke Xander want himself to stay in that grand mansion for such a long time ?

"What's up ? You want me to stay here longer ?"

"Yes." Yeah." Duke Xander nodded honestly.

Frederick hugged the stiff body of the younger brother who of course was not in reply to Duke Xander.

"You and your two sons will be fine even without me, Xander ! All you have to do is follow your instincts as a father. You can definitely feel what is good and what is not good for your two sons. And, remember one thing. Happiness does not necessarily have to be measured based on wealth and social status. It's just a bonus if you get it with the people you love. And your children deserve that. They have a right to choose who they're going to live with, Xander. Not like we used to be. Not like you ! Be a much better father than our old Daddy. I know you can do so much better than anyone."

Frederick let go of his embrace. He smiled before entering Leon's room. Joining his two nephews to spend time together before two more days he must return to England.
