The Mist In Arumi's Heart

Begin Preparation

 After Arumi died, Edgar then continued his journey to meet Durant, at the coffee shop where they used to meet first. The man was waiting for Edgar to arrive. He looked so happy when he saw Edgar walking towards him.

Durant, he was Edgar's best friend. They often watch football together even though for a long time they have no communication at all. Durant is a tattoo artist. He also coined the name Arumi, on the right breast of Edgar.

“How are you, Ed?” Durant hugged Edgar for a moment.

“Good. Where have you been all this time?” edgar asked while sitting in the chair opposite the blond man.

Durant smiled slightly. His pair of green-colored eyes seemed to hold a hint of uneasiness. He then fixed the sunglasses that were placed on his head, on the sidelines of the shoulder-length hair that he partially tied.

“I just got back from Italy. My mother was very sick and died a few weeks ago. I wasn't going to come back here, but somehow it felt like there was something stuck in my heart,” was obviously a man with a posture that was a few inches taller than Edgar.

“Means?” Edgar did not seem to understand. “Oh yes, why didn't you tell me about your mother's condition?”

Durant smiled faintly. A smile that has always been a hallmark of him. For a moment he fell silent because a servant there came to them, and brought two cups of coffee that Durant had ordered before Edgar arrived there.

The man with a very casual appearance and seemed cute but neat, let out a short breath. His pair of green-colored eyeballs, staring fixedly at Edgar. He then allowed Edgar to taste the coffee he had ordered earlier.

“Although we haven't seen each other in a long time, I still remember your favorite coffee,” Durant said calmly. "I know you're in Indonesia, Ed. Someone told me at the time" he continued.

Edgar replied with a small smile. Edgar then sipped the coffee. "Yes, but not for long. There is a big problem that requires me to come back here immediately," Edgar explained while igniting a cigarette that Durant thrust to him.

“Tell me something, Ed!” Durant seems to be starting to discuss his intention to invite Edgar to meet there. His line of face was firm, looking very serious. Even a faint smoke billowed from his mouth.

Edgar seemed to know the direction of Durant's question addressed to him. I want him to avoid that conversation. Edgar was heard complaining short. He then leaned back his body and threw his cigarette ash in the ashtray.

“Honestly if I'm not interested in discussing something related to Mirella. There are a lot of bad things that he and his sister did to me and my future wife. I'm happy that both of them have now received a reply from the crime they have committed,” Edgar said calmly.

“Come, Ed! You know how I feel about Mirella. Can't you be a little kind to her and .. unplug your demands for her!” pinta Durant was earnest.

Edgar laughed softly at the request from the blond man. He then returned to smoking his cigarette and smeared thin smoke regularly. “Don't be crazy! How could I possibly do that!" reject Edgar firmly enough.

"Listen to me! Mirella and her brother, aided by her plot, have embezzled millions of dollars from the company and made the company's good name tarnished! Now I have to work hard to restore the honor of my foster father's company! In addition, they had also planned the kidnapping of my future wife! Please think for yourself! Would you forgive a criminal like that?” Edgar was starting to get fiery. The anger in him was re-ignited, when he recalled the kidnapping shortly after he and Arumi had just arrived from Marseille.

Durant did not answer. He did not know exactly the reason Mirella was detained at this time. He just felt unbearable when he saw the woman he once liked, being in such a miserable situation.

“I'm not an angel, though I could have forgiven them. However, the law must be upheld and I will not compromise on it. I'm sorry if I let you down D, but I won't fulfill your request!” edgar's assertiveness made Durant only able to take a deep breath. The French-Italian man then gulped down his coffee again.

There was a cynical smile on the corner of Edgar's lips. “That was because of his own work,” said the gray-eyed man with satisfaction. ”Already, D! You're my good friend, and I don't want Mirella to bring any more misunderstandings between us. Anyway, I'm planning my wedding. I am also focusing on restoring my company to a conducive return. I don't want to think about things that are not important, as we are discussing at this time,” concluded Edgar while sipping coffee again.

It would be a very foolish decision if he were willing to fulfill the request of his friend Durant.

After nearly seventeen hours on the journey, they finally arrived in Indonesia. Nining welcomed them with great joy. Zulaikha took Dinan and Jenna. The young girl misses both the children she used to foster.

Puspa and Keanu also entered soon followed by the driver who picked them up at the airport, who now brought the employer's luggage.

While Arumi, he has now been in his room nuanced orange and sky blue. The girl sat on the edge of her bed. Arumi was alone.

It felt very different from a few years ago, when he just returned from France. At that time, he felt happy because he could be separated from Edgar's disorder, although in fact the man still chased him to Indonesia. However, now he felt very sad, when he had to leave a country that was so attached to his romantic impression. Arumi left three people she loved there.

He saw the ring that Edgar had placed on his ring finger. A smile appeared on his thin lips. Arumi then grabbed her phone and sent a message to Edgar. He reported that he had arrived in Indonesia.

Not long after, a message came in for him. Edgar replies to a message from Arumi with a heart emoji. That is the style of Edgar. He did not like to send messages, so soon the man contacted Arumi.

There was a little conversation between them. However, the awkward feeling was also increasingly felt.

Arumi or Edgar try to look tough. They are not teenagers who are easily swayed by feelings, which end in turmoil.

That time will come. A time when Arumi and Edgar will complement each other's lives. They'll be opening a new leaf soon. A new chapter that will be the beginning of an adventure full of struggle.

The next day, Arumi began to take care of everything. Aided by Puspa, the girl looks very happy even though she has to do all the preparations alone.

While Edgar, he is still busy with his company's affairs are now gradually stable and back conducive. It was good news, so he could immediately send Arumi to Indonesia, and help the girl in preparing everything to realize their dream marriage.
