The Mist In Arumi's Heart

More Than A Diamond's

The wind was not very strong, but the air felt quite cold. The seasons will continue to change, and the time will continue to pass without us noticing. Seconds, minutes, every breath that has graced the steps. Whether it is a slow or fast step, everyone will definitely look for a purpose. Find a place that will be used as the last port.

Parisian. For a long time Arumi left the city reflecting the beautiful side of a forgotten romance of love. Now, that love blossomed back in the same city, with the same people. Is the world too narrow? Is that stroke of fate too strong?

It just so happens that the weather is clear today. Arumi sat on the grass covered in blue cloth. He smiled as he watched Puspa, who was amazed when for the first time he could see the Eiffel Tower directly. For a Puspa who does not dare to dream too high, it is clear if it is an extraordinary bonus.

“Excuse me, Miss. May I know what time it is?” the voice of a man made Arumi blush. Arumi looked at me. The girl then smiled. “Pay first, I will answer!” he said while welcoming the presence of a man who was none other than Edgar there.

Edgar smiled as he sat down near the girl. He looked at Arumi and then gently stroked her face. The girl looked ordinary again. He did not look traumatized or frightened after the kidnapping incident that hit him.

“Close with me!” take Edgar. He then grabbed Arumi's wrist.

“Hey! You must ask permission first to my brother!” arumi Protest. However, he followed Edgar who continued to take him away from the area. Edgar did not care. He continues to lead Arumi and take the girl down the streets of Paris in the autumn.

The two lovebirds continue to step between a row of towering high buildings, with a typical European design. There were many cheerful and warm smiles painted on the faces of the two. Sometimes they are seen joking, until finally Edgar invites Arumi into a jewelry store.

“What are we here for, Ed?” asked Arumi without letting go of her smile.

“You will find out soon,” replied Edgar with a calm smile.

Arumi did not protest much. He simply complied and sat down sweetly when Edgar told him to wait a moment.

Edgar is seen speaking to a beautiful woman with a graceful appearance. Not long after, the woman came to Arumi who was still sitting sweetly while watching Edgar who came back and sat next to him.

“Arum, meet this Maria. She's the one who's going to design our wedding rings,” Edgar introduces women whose age is visible above both of them. Arumi smiled kindly welcoming a polite nod from the woman.

“We can work on your order ring in just seven days. Of course without neglecting the quality of the process. We have very competent people, and I make sure you will not regret having entrusted this important thing to us,” she said with great clarity and confidence.

Arumi glanced at Edgar who was looking happy at the time. His face looked very bright and radiant. His wounds were no longer visible.

“You can choose from several models we provide, and of course it can be modified according to your wishes,” obviously the woman again still with her friendly attitude.

Arumi still said nothing. Instead, he was busy watching Edgar, who was focused on responding to all the explanations from the woman.

Arumi did not need something as beautiful and expensive as a diamond ring, because for him Edgar was much more than anything.

Edgar has been a winner. He managed to conquer the girl with all his tireless efforts. It is true that there is a saying that effort will never betray results.

Look at Edgar now. She kept smiling happily, as soon as Arumi would truly be hers.

“What do you think, Arum?” edgar asked while glancing at Arumi and made the girl instantly aware of her daydream. Arumi looked a little flustered. He immediately smiled and went back to normal.

“No, Babe! Don't talk like that! Women are usually much smarter in determining affairs like this. So, I leave all this to you, dear,” Edgar said, winking his eyes mischievously.

“Alright,” reply Arumi while smiling sweetly. Aruni began to observe some of the ring models that Mary showed him. Now it was Edgar's turn to look at the girl with great admiration.

Again, this was like a dream for Edgar when all his wishes were almost achieved. His long journey in following Arumi's steps, finally leads him to an agreed nod from the girl.

Arumid. However he is now, he is still the Arumi that used to be for Edgar. Arumi is sweet and very cheerful. Arumi is always smiling with a pair of dimples on both cheeks.

Edgar was at a loss for words to describe how beautiful the girl was.

“My sister's pocket will be in Marseille for three or four days. After that, we will return to Indonesia together,”, Arumi said as she sipped the warm tea she ordered. Every now and then, he stared at the fallen leaves and scattered.

“I'd love to join you guys, but there's still something I have to take care of here. I hope that in this month all the problems related to my company are resolved. That way, I can focus on preparing our wedding plans,” Edgar then sipped his coffee.

“I want to take you to stay here Arum after we get married later. I bought a beautiful summer house. Sometimes I will invite you to see it,” said Edgar again.

“Ya, sure. Aren't you planning to buy a house in Indonesia?” ask Arumi.

“Not so,” replied Edgar immediately. “If I've brought you here, why would I buy a house there? I think staying at your house will be much more fun if we visit occasionally,” Edgar laughed softly.

They have discussed future plans that are too far away, while they have not prepared everything related to marriage, except the ring of course.

“I want to marry you soon, Arum,” said Edgar while holding Arumi's fingers that he put on the table. “I want to see you every day near me. I hope you will cook for me, make me coffee, accompany me to read, and occasionally sit on my lap.”

Arumi laughed amusedly at Edgar's words. But it should be like that. Arumi wants to be a good wife and housewife just like her mother, Ryanthi. The woman was able to carry out all her duties without much complaining.

“I've always dreamed of a sweet wedding. My mom used to tell me that my dad used to sing and play acoustic guitar for her every night before going to bed. It also makes my mother so happy to listen to music,” said Arumi. There was bitterness in his eyes when he remembered his parents.

Edgar smiled slightly. Then he took a short breath. After that, he took his coffee back. "I'm not very good at playing guitar. During school I formed a band with some of my friends. Consisting of five handsome students, of course we became idols," Edgar said proudly and with an amused smile, seeing Arumi's strange expression in response to the story.

Edgar scrunched his forehead. "You don't believe me, Arum?"

Arumi held back his laughter, making Edgar complain slowly while rubbing his forehead.

Arumi smiled sweetly. He then sipped back his tea. "I believe you've always been an idol, and you deserve that" Arumi said softly.

"Yes, and you deserve an idol like me, Arum," Edgar replied with a smile. A smile that Arumi will always miss, especially after he returned to Indonesia and left Edgar.
