Dusk In Moorea

HR#91

It had been a month since the last time Irgi met Arumi. The man was already trying to reproach even though something in the corner of his heart still voiced disapproval. His little heart is still too difficult to let Arumi happy with other men including Devan though.

The man breathed heavily. Trying to get rid of the pain that continues to cut the heart without knowing the time. Counting since he knew that Arumi already really did not want it.

Irgi's footsteps were so weak that he climbed to the floor of a five-star restaurant where he would meet a new client. Although, he knew he was not okay, but Irgi still had to be professional by not mixing matters of heart and work.

The man's eyes suddenly squinted as he caught the figure of two lovebirds making out in a VIP room of the restaurant he accidentally saw when a waiter opened the door to deliver food. The man's steps stopped. For the next split second, the man's eyes widened. His heart was pumping much faster and his hands were clenched full of anger.

Without a second thought, Irgi came in and hit them. Pull the man's collar and reward him with a raw, angry bogeman. The waiter who delivered the food just gasped and quickly got out of there after Irgi chased her away in a cold tone.

"You said that you would make Arumi happy and would never waste it. But, what the fuck is this ? You're having an affair with another woman ?" Irgi looked at Nyalang Devan who had fallen on the floor thanks to his punch.

"Are you crazy ? Why did you beat up my future husband, huh ?" The woman who was with Devan immediately helped the man to get back up.

"Prospective husband ?" Irgi laughed loudly. Cynical and dismissive yet sounding hurt at one time. "So, you're engaged but you still want Aru too ?" Irgi's eyes stared at the guts. "What's the difference between you and me in the past, Dev ?"

Devan tight-lipped. Unable to answer the sentence of judgment that Irgi lay.

"How did you get here ?" That's the only sentence Devan thinks about right now.

"Is that important ?" Irgi again stepped closer to Devan. Devan remained in his position. Against Irgi's sharp gaze that began to intimidate him. A lot of anger that Devan could see in Irgi's black netra.

"Explain to me ! What's the matter, actually ?" The woman who hugged Devan's shoulder earlier also voiced. Confused at what he had just witnessed.

Irgi smiled obliquely. "Your future husband is dating another woman. Don't you know ?"

The woman wearing the mask started to open the mask. Irgi was quite surprised to find out who he was. She's Selina. An actress whose name is known everywhere.

"really ?" Selina's question implies distrust.

"He's having an affair with my ex-wife, Arumi !" irgi.

Selina was surprised to hear Irgi's words. Not long after, he looked at Devan. His mouth opened while staring at Devan with flickering eyes.

"He's Irgi ?" selina asked her fiance.

Devan is weak. "Yes." Yeah."

Selina gave a small laugh then turned to look at Irgi with an annoyed look. His footsteps could be heard filling the room due to the knocking of the heels he was wearing. Just as he was standing in front of Irgi, the woman's hand floated. Slapped Irgi so hard.

"We should have met sooner so that this slap could be earlier I give it !" hiss Selina with a low tone.

Irgi held onto her cheek which was hot from Selina's slap. The man screeched and looked at Selina full of questioning gazes.

"Why did you slap me ?"

"Because a man like you still presumptuously wants a woman as good as Arumi after you've consciously thrown her away."

Irgi breathed a rough sigh. At her sight Devan who looked still shocked because Selina slapped Irgi without cue.

"Your engagement wants it too." Irgi hissing no less slow.

" Devan and Aru are just friends. The three of us are very familiar. And I know, my fiancee and best friend were not the ones who would betray and stab me in the back. Devan just said that to keep you away from Arumi."

"So it's all just lies, Dev ?" tanya Irgi half gasped.

"You're right. I'm just helping Arumi so you don't bother her anymore, Gi ! Arumi doesn't want to come back to you." Devan answered honestly. There was no time for him to lie anymore. He knew, sooner or later Irgi would know his lies considering the wedding ceremony himself and Selina scheduled to last two months.

Irgi grimaced in disbelief. The man took two steps back. Combing her hair with her fingers while screaming in frustration.

"You are indeed br*hsek Devan !" Irgi stepped out. In his fist the door was before he closed it violently.

Inside the room, Devan and Selina looked at each other. Selina held Devan's cheek which looked bruised from Irgi's punch.

"What hurts ?" the woman was slow.

Devan catches Selina's hand holding her wound. The man smiled shadyly exuding affection.

"It's okay" Devan replied lightly.

Selina bowed. "I'm sorry that I leaked your lies and Aru's in front of that man."

"It's not your fault, Cell ! Irgi will know sooner or later about this lie. Don't blame yourself for something you didn't do. Okay ?"

Selina nodded. One beautiful smile decorated her face even though the girl's eyes looked teary.

After meeting the client earlier, Irgi drove his car at high speed to meet Arumi. The man smiled. The hope is still there to be able to reach Arumi again.

"This time I won't give up again, Aru ! I swear I'll get you again no matter what."

Arriving at Arumi's boutique, Irgi's smile must be forced to recede. That beautiful woman wasn't there. One of his employees said that Arumi had just been picked up by a middle-aged man. Irgi could guess that Jonathan Liem must have been meant by the Arumi employee.

"Why is Mr Jo just looking for Arumi now ? Does he have a plan to sacrifice Aru again like he used to ?" muttered Irgi who was sitting in the driver's seat of the car but had not run it.

The man hit the driver of his car. His eyes closed tightly thinking about how the Liem family would treat Arumi again if she was persuaded by Jonathan to return.

"No ! I will never let Aru be used again by them. Aru will only marry me back. He is only mine and even Mr Jo has no right to take it from me !"

Irgi's jaw is churning. Both of his hands tightly gripped the steering wheel of the car with eyes filled with hatred.
