Arumi stared fixedly at the woman who had been taking care of Edgar all this time. He felt more curious. Arumi then sat down near the woman with the gaze she still gave him.
“Aunt loves Mr Guzman?”search Arumi.
Carmen nodded slowly. “Until now, even after he has been long gone. I still keep and keep that feeling well. I don't want to end it even though it's a mistake,” Carmen replied with her voice trembling again. It was as if she was holding back her crying.
“Did mister Guzman never know that at all?” ask Arumi again.
Carmen shook her head slowly. “I never expressed my feelings towards her,” she replied slowly.
“Why, Aunty?”
Carmen looked. Look into her eyes still sweet. The pain was still clearly visible on the look on his face that had been adorned with wrinkles everywhere. “Mr Guzman is a very handsome man. His appearance is always neat. His clothes, his hair, he was very similar to the current Edgar. I've been in love since first sight, when I just set foot in this house. However, Mr. Guzman is a loyal man. He never turned or did anything bad. Mrs Guzman told me that. However, strangely ... The more I know how loyal he is, then my love for him is actually increasing and unable to contain anymore,” Carmen was silent for a moment. He then wiped the corner of his eye.
While Arumi was still silent and waiting for the continuation of the story with a growing curiosity.
“Mr Guzman has no intention of opening his heart to any woman, even after he has spent a considerable amount of time in solitude. Especially with the presence of Edgar at that time, he was getting away from romance and chose to focus on caring for Edgar. The boy was so lucky,” Carmen continued her story. Arumi listened faithfully.
A moment later, Carmen turned her gaze to Arumi. Arumi looked back at him. “You know why I doubt you, Arum?” asked Carmen in a tone of speech that was still loud was very lethargic and not excited. Arumi shook her head slowly.
“Because Edgar once told me that you loved your lover so much, even after you parted with him. I know what it's like to keep the feeling of love and nurture it to keep growing. It made me feel like I didn't need any other love, even though what I felt was just one-sided love. But that feeling is so beautiful. I'm sure you can understand that, Arum,” explains Carmen. Arumi grew quiet and thought. What Carmen says has a point, too. He knew very well how hard he felt to be able to release his feelings from Moedya.
“I understand that very well, Auntie. However, I also did not understand because the feeling that I had buried deeply for Edgar, could come back even with much greater than before. I had a hard time doing that, but Auntie must know that I've been rid of all the good memories of my past. For now, I just want to look at one Edgar, no other man,”.
“I won't force Aunt to trust me. However, one thing is for sure, I love Edgar with all sincerity in my heart,” Arumi said again with so much confidence.
......................
Some time has passed. Winter has now turned into an amazing spring. The flowers are blooming and the atmosphere feels so beautiful.
Today, the sun shines and gives it its warm taste. It makes Arumi want to relax for a moment outside. Arumi sat alone on the sofa around the pool area.
Arumi just got a call from Keanu informing her that Moedya is getting married the day after. Of course Arumi was happy when he heard that. He had let go of all his feelings for the man, from the moment he began to open his heart again to Edgar.
The fight with Carmen is over. The woman apologizes for all her prejudices against Arumi. He did so after a long conversation between the two of them. Carmen also always pay attention to the closeness between Arumi and Edgar that looks very harmonious.
Arumi happily hugged the middle-aged woman. After all, Carmen is a kind and caring woman. There was no reason for Arumi to hate that woman. He also apologized to Carmen, for her presumptuous attitude as someone much younger. The point is, now the relationship between Arumi and Carmen is fine.
It's been two days since Edgar went out of town. Arumi wanted to visit Marseille, but Edgar did not allow him to go alone. As a result, he had to wait for his husband to return from his business.
“Arum, there is a guest for you,” Carmen is suddenly already there and surprises Arumi. The young lady turned her head while stroking her chest. Carmen laughed softly.
“Who, Aunty?” ask Arumi curiously. This time he actually put the magazine on the table.
“Nona Rupert,” Carmen replied. “I mean ... Mirella,” errs with some hesitation. He knows that Mirella is not the guest that Arumi is expecting. However, it turns out that Carmen's assumption is not right. Arumi immediately got up from her seat and passed into the house.
In the living room with that luxurious interior, Mirella had been waiting for Arumi to meet her. The short-haired lady with gray eyes smiled slightly when she saw that the one she was waiting for had been there. Soon she welcomes Arumi without a kiss or a warm handshake.
“Hai, Arum. How are you?” greet Mirella in French of course.
“Good,” replied Arumi short. He was not friendly at all. Yes, Arumi is not interested in giving friendly greetings to the young woman who is a former blonde girl Edgar.
“Where is Edgar?” ask Mirella. Without hesitation he asked the man who had become Arumi's husband.
“No shame!” arumi muttered in his heart.
“You're here to see me or my husband?” asked Arumi with a ketus. A question that had made Mirella laugh. He can feel jealousy in his tone and look Arumi's eyes on him.
“To be honest, I wanted to see Edgar, but the aunt said Edgar was gone. So, yes I have talked to you,“ Mirella replied lightly. “Aren't you going to allow me to sit down, Arum?”
Arumi did not answer. He still feels awkward with Mirella, because they have not known each other. After all, Arumi had already heard the story of the woman who was the younger sister of Benjamin, the man who claimed to have been obsessed with her after such a long time. Oh ... They're an incredible pair of sisters.
Without much pleasantry, Arumi allowed Mirella to sit down. After that, he followed her. Arumi glared at the short-haired woman with her beautiful gray eyes, who was also staring at her.
“I didn't expect you to still have the courage to come back here again, after all you and your brother have done to me and Edgar. You two shouldn't deserve to talk again!” cibir Arumi with his tough attitude.
Mirella smiled slightly. He did not dispute the unfriendly speech that Arumi addressed to him. “I can understand that, Arum. But I have realized everything. I knew I didn't deserve to expect Edgar to come back to me. He's forgotten all the wonderful things we've been through, but that's okay. At least, I've felt how amazing Edgar is when in bed,” Mirella ended her words with a satisfied laugh that seemed mocking.
“Basic of lang!” arumi Ogat.
Hearing that mention, Mirella immediately fell silent. “You're wrong, Arum! Me and Edgar had a very sweet and passionate bond. We spent a lot of time together. He even took me on vacation to the Maldives. You know, the view there is not very beautiful. Edgar always praised my beauty. She even bought me some very pretty swimsuits and according to her taste,” Mirella said again making Arumi want to kick her out of the house immediately.
