The 20-day mission to get Arumi back started by Leon. The young man has learned a lot. There was no advantage he would get if he were just being weak and begging. All he had to do was be the old Leon. Leon the bebal. Leon who never wants to listen and Leon who always be cheerful. That was the main point he had forgotten. The attitude that once managed to bring Arumi into his arms.
Arumi gave a rude snort while peering through the curtain of the glass wall of his office room when the young man was a few minutes ago ready to go home. Immediately Arumi closed the curtain back when Leon saw it and instead waved at him and gave a long-distance kiss. Between annoyance and slight delight, the girl gave a smile while trying to improve her heartbeat rhythm.
"Aru !" selina's voice surprised Arumi.
"Cell ? You-you're here ?"
Selina stared confusedly at Arumi and chose to close the door again and head to the sofa to sit comfortably.
"What if I'm here ?" The beautiful actress crossed both legs. His eyes looked suspiciously at Arumi who looked so nervous.
"What's wrong with you ?" ask Selina.
"It's okay," replied Arumi in a voice unable to cover her nervousness. "You want to drink something ?"
"Not need ! I just stopped by for a minute" replied Selina.
"Oh yes, Aru ! Who was that bule guy I met downstairs ? What's your new customer ?"
Arumi was glued for a moment. Really a fortune or even a bad luck because Selina has met Leon. Arumi has to ask Selina what she thinks of the crazy things Leon could do in the future when the young man goes on a 20-day love mission that sounds ridiculous in Arumi's ears. The beautiful girl then decided to sit next to Selina. The look on her face was a little tense so Selina felt quite strange.
"There's something important I need to tell you, Cell !" arumi said seriously.
"About what ?"
"About the young man you met downstairs," said Arumi quickly.
Selina folded her lips with an increasingly suspicious look. He noticed that Arumi's two hands were moving restlessly over her own thighs.
"Who is that guy ?" ask Selina curiously. There has never been a single man who can make Arumi this big as long as he knows the beautiful girl in the past.
"But, don't be surprised let alone yell. Okay ?" arumi warned.
Selina laughed cynically. "No, not" he answered.
"He's Leon !"
Selina's laughter stopped. The beautiful actress felt her hearing was a little troubled. "Who did you say ?" tanyanya repeated the question.
"Leon."
"What ?" Selina stood up suddenly so that Arumi who was sitting next to her again gasped in shock.
"W-what is he doing here ?" ask Selina to panic. He again sat next to Arumi with a face that looks much more frustrated than Arumi himself.
Arumi fixed her sitting position. "She said she wanted to come back with me again, Sel !"
"Don't you ever tell me he's married ?"
Arumi took a long breath. "It should have been, Cell ! But, he said that the marriage was annulled."
The girl bowed while staring at the link of her fingers that were clashing with each other restlessly.
"Why is it cancelled ?"
Arumi shakes. "Not knowing."
"Why don't you just call Charlie to ask the truth ?" selina.
Based on a brilliant idea from Selina this afternoon, Arumi immediately called Charlie. And it's true. The brunette-spirited young man did not lie. Her marriage was completely annulled even though no one knew the reason for the annulment. Neither the Wellington family nor the Savich family have issued any statements about the shocking incident.
Arumi's heart was now slowly worried. What attitude should he take in addressing Leon. Heartfelt she still yearns for the brunette-eyed and brunette-haired man to return to her life. However, the painful memories of the past make it impossible for him to easily give Leon a chance once again. The young man had lied to Arumi so that Arumi had to receive harsh treatment and was humiliated by Claire. Every detail of the event that was sculpted at that time, is still visible in Arumi's heart and mind. Too painful to remember but too heavy to lose.

The sound of singing along with guitar quotes in front of the boutique made some boutique employees interested in looking out. Some of them stared in awe while whispering curiously praising the figure of a foreign man who looked so handsome with a black v neck t-shirt and matching colored jeans that were busy singing the song 'It's you' from Ali Gatie.
So, please, don't break my heart
Don't tear me apart
I know how it starts
Trust me, I've been broken before
Don't break me again
I am delicate
Please, don't break my heart
Trust me, I've been broken before
The melodious song also managed to attract some pedestrians to stop by and also enjoy the sweet voice of the young man.
Arumi who was also tidying up some of the displays also stepped out out of curiosity. The beautiful woman opened the crowd of several people who were increasingly gathered. And, how surprised he was when he saw who the young man who was singing was.
"Leon ?" arumi muttered involuntarily.
The young man who called his name looked over. His hands are still so agile plucking guitar strings with a mouth that sounds melodious. Leon smiled and glanced at Arumi who subconsciously smiled back at him. This is the side of Leon that Arumi has never seen.
The song ended a minute later. Quickly Leon put his guitar on the chair he was wearing and ran a small approach to Arumi.
"You like it ?" The young man's smile almost melted the heart of every woman who was there.
"You're blocking my customers from getting into Leon's boutique. And, you're still asking if I like it ?" arumi said with a face that was trying to get angry.
The young man pursed both of his lips. He reached into the back and gave a rose to Arumi who he had slipped behind his waist.
"I don't need your flowers, Leon !" hiss Arumi was upset. He grabbed the flower and just threw it away.
Leon's face looked sad. The young man bowed lethargicly and then picked up the rose that Arumi had thrown.
"If you don't want to, you can refuse with words, Aru ! No need to humiliate me like this in front of so many people ! I came all the way here just to give you a surprise. Sorry, if my arrival even bothers you," said Leon.
There was a sudden sense of guilt ambushing Arumi. Was he that mean to Leon ? Should Leon's face be that sad ?
"See it ! He really has heart. The man had already done all this for her. But, what did he do ? Neither do thanks." One of the women who had followed Leon's singing from the beginning started to make a sound and provoke the people around him.
"Really ! Though, her lover is that handsome. He should be grateful that the man wants to like him" added another.
Arumi was at a loss for words. While Leon was still lowered with a triumphant grin.
"You won't be able to throw me away that easily, Aru !"
