Drrt.
Drrt.
Drrt.
Arumi's phone shimmered. Not once but many times since two days ago. Arumi was caught off guard by the word Mirza's report.
"Ah, I don't care if I have to be compensated. Rather than having to report at all times to Mr. Mirza.." Arumi's inner.
"Report..."
"Report..."
"Report..."
"I don't care...!!" yelled Arumi while throwing her phone at the sofa.
"Aren't you afraid of compensation for your indifference to me...?"
"Sir Mirza...Ah, it's impossible. Mr. Mirza's time has turned into a ghost who suddenly came to see me. But...If not a ghost, how? If not a ghost means.." Arumi's inner.
Mirza's distinctive voice that is so real makes Arumi immediately throw away all his strange thoughts. So inevitably Arumi also turned his eyes to the source of the sound.
And sure enough it turns out that the presence of the handsome man is not a hallucination Arumi, he is real. Mirza stood in the doorway. His hand was cradling the phone, while his eyes were fixedly staring at Arumi.
"Sir Mirza." said Arumi lirih pitched half surprised. He spontaneously stood up quickly.
"Yes, i. You think ghosts...?" mirza ketus.
"Ah, Yes. I think so too" said Arumi lethargic and immediately sat back on the wooden chair that always accompanied him if he painted.
"Hey.yak..yak...yak...!" Mirza is upset with Arumi's impressed attitude of not expecting her arrival. Mirza then approached Arumi.
"What's the father doing to my house...?"
"What did you say...? Two days you didn't reply to all my messages. Two days you've ignored me. That's why I'm meeting you. What's the matter you say? Oi... You've made me feel." Mirza said to a halt.
"Hindu. I miss you, Arumi.." Inner Mirza.
"What do you feel, sir...?"
"Em, yes... ... Yes that. I feel unappreciated"
"Arumi's tired, sir. Every time you have to send word to your father. All the wolves must ask permission. My father was my teacher, not my father. And again you are just trying to make your parents happy, why do I bother to care about the father. While you yourself don't care..."
"You're wrong Arumi. You're wrong. I care about you. Against all your feelings." Inner Mirza.
"Father forgot that I also have a personal life that is not always shared with others or fathers. Whose father?"
"Hey.we're still under agreement. You recall. You still have one more month..."
"Arumi no longer cares, sir..."
"Why? You gave up on me for failing to make me fall for you?
"Don't give up, Arumi. Please don't stop loving me. I am the one who has lost. Because I've started falling in love with you" Mirza said.
"I think so. I have failed. I've been heartbroken. And I was so frustrated that I wanted to get away from my father's life"
"Breaked heart? So you love me?"
"I really love you, Father. That's what you always want to hear every time you ask it and not once have I answered it? You want to hear my confession, right? Yes, I do love my father. Loved my father very much. Ever since I first saw my dad on campus. But that was before I knew the truth. And now that I know how the father is, how the father feels about me, how the father loves his lover so much, then I feel that I have tried to erode. And I've been heartbroken because of that..."
"But my heart won't cry...?"
"I'm crying...?"
"When?"
"I was crying and feeling heartbroken, ever since I saw you making out with your boyfriend at Villa that night. I've been heartbroken since I saw the closeness and affection of my father with Andrea at Villa. I was heartbroken since my father always said ketus and never wanted to speak softly even once to me..."
"Why don't you tell it. Didn't you promise to tell me whatever you were going through..."
"For what? So that you can insult me? So that you can share with the world that I fell in love before you? So that you can...."
GREEKS...
Arumi stopped as Mirza grabbed him and carried him in the arms of the handsome man. Mirza did not want to hear the girl who had defeated him moaned and became sad.
"I knew. I was wrong. Ii'm sorry. Sorry for making you cry. Sorry for making you uncomfortable. But really, never once have I made fun of you with all my heart. I always appreciated you especially after I discovered my consciousness. You know because of your passion, especially when one by one your positive sides are visible, I've come to realize that beauty is relative. Beautiful is not just physical but more about the heart. And you have that Arumi." said Mirza who kept holding Arumi tightly. Occasionally he gently dipped the head of Arumi.
Meanwhile, getting such treatment Arumi's heart drizzled. He did not expect at all if a Mirza, the refrigerator man could apologize to him and talk a lot of things. It's a miracle.
"I'm becoming more aware. Every human being is born with advantages and also accompanied by deficiencies. And I was wrong to see you only on the side of your shortcomings. I have also wronged my mother and father by not heeding all his advice. Maybe that's why I'm cursed..."
"In the curse...?"
"Yes. I'm cursed, Arumi." said Mirza as she unraveled her arms and stared at Arumi's face.
Same with Arumi. Inevitably he raised his head to look at Mirza's face. Arumi's eyes locked onto the sharp eyes of the tall handsome man.
"I'm cursed so I lose to you..."
"Lose from me..?" arumi said softly and full of questions.
"Just less than five months I've lost to you..."
"I mean...?" arumi said she did not understand.
"I love you, Arumi. I love you..."
"Akhs..."
Arumi clenched her open mouth in great shock.
Getting such a response, Mirza's face turned red. He immediately chose to sit on the sofa and let Arumi stand dumbstruck just like his last reaction.
"I didn't hear wrong. Or is this just a dream...? Araumi. Aware...!" inner Arumi.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Two hours before Mirza's love statement.
Mirza sat in her seat of greatness. His eyes looked at the phone he had been playing on. Sometimes he twists it, sometimes flips it, sometimes opens it and then closes it again. Mirza repeatedly sighed or rubbed her face rough. There was clearly anxiety ambushing him. And that makes Mirza not focus on doing anything.
"What's up, Bro...?"
"Two days he did not report anything. Two days he didn't return my messages. That's so fucking rude of the girl. Did he forget what compensation I'd give him if he didn't heed me?"
Elvano chuckled at Mirza's statement. He knew very well what his friend was going through.
"Campus you, Za. You're being hit by a virus miss. Longs for longs. wkwkw.." Inner Elvano.
"Maybe Arumi is busy..."
"Ah, that's impossible. Lecture just started so I don't think it's that easy yet, El..."
"Maybe Arumi is sick..."
"ill? Ah, it's impossible. I asked Vanya, Arumi is fine..."
"I don't know, El. If I had known I wouldn't have told you this, the fleas..."
"I think to kill your curiosity, you should meet him. You just declare your love. So you don't go on ranting..."
"Damn you lice kupret one.." said Mirza who rewarded Elvano with a pillow throw.
"Hurry and confess your feelings. Faaz will be ahead of you. Wkwkwk..."
"El, would you like me to cut my salary plus I'm missing your bonus?"
"Don't donk boss...What will my son and wife eat...?"
"The son and wife of your concubine. You're a fucking bug...!"
Bhuahahahahas....
"Eh, where is Mr Mirza Adyatma...?"
"It's none of your business..."
"Hey, it's my business. Two o'clock there's an internal meeting...!"
"Cancel all meetings today. Rescedhule all. I'm dropping off the office..."
"Don't shoot him over and over, quickly bring my sister-in-law home..."
"Damn you..."
"Wkwkwk....."
Mirza quickly left the office for a parked silver sports car. Shortly thereafter, the car darted like an arrow apart from a bow.
At the moment Mirza's one wish is to meet Arumi. The girl who had managed to defeat him for less than five months.
Not long after, the luxury car had arrived at a courtyard of the luxurious residence Permana.
"Mhd...Is Arumin' mom?"
"Oh, Mr. Mirza. There's Mister. Ms. Arumi is in the upstairs room, painting..."
"Thank you, mbok. I go straight up. Oya, Mr Permana there?"
"Nothing, Sir. It just so happens that the son of the father's wife gets married. So you attended it..."
"The son of my father's wife? Is Mr Permana married again...?"
"Yes, Sir..."
"O.so" said Mirza who then stepped up the stairs to a room at the end.
Geck.
Geck.
Geck.
No answer. Mirza repeated it again. Still no answer. Maybe Arumi was concentrating fully, as Mirza thought.
Then, Mirza turned the doorknob slowly.
KREEK....
The door to the room is open. Mirza saw Arumi sitting down. In front of him was a canvas that was filled with scratches.
Mirza sent some messages to Arumi. He just wanted to disperse the concentration of the puffed-up girl who had diminished her moon.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Two hours after Mirza's love statement.
"I didn't hear wrong. Or is this just a dream...? Araumi. Aware...!" inner Arumi.
Mirza leaned back after a while and stood up and touched Arumi's forehead.
KTA...
"A...!"
The girl seemed to wake up from her daydream that had gone crazy just now.
"Mr didn't take the wrong medicine, did you?"
"About..."
"Then you get out of this room first"
"Hey, why...?" mirza said as she was pulled and pushed out of the room.
"Wait a minute." said Arumi shortly before closing the door.
Mirza frowned not knowing what was on Arumi's mind.
Shortly after, Mirza smiled as she heard Arumi's restrained screams from inside the room..Ah, maybe Arumi is celebrating her victory, Mirza thought.
Meanwhile, in the room Arumi was jiggling with excitement while occasionally yelling stifled at Mirza's statement. Then, Arumi suddenly seemed to remember something. The dance slowly slowed to a halt.
"Is it because of my physical changes, sir Mirza loves me? But not when I was like before. It means love because physical is not real" inner Arumi.
"But when he said that, I did not find the slightest doubt in his eyes. Does he really mean it? Ah, I'm a gamang..."
CKLEK...
Mirza smiled standing in the doorway. His eyes were fixed on Arumi. Arumi stood leaning against the door that was already open. His eyes did not dare to look at Mirza.
"Preferably you go home first. I'm..."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't have an answer to your question yet..."
"I don't need your answer. Because I already know how you feel about me..."
"Don't let you get me wrong with how I feel right now..."
"Egh..."
Mirza looked at Arumi's astonishment. He did not understand the meaning of Arumi's words.
"So you rejected me...?"
"No..."
"Then what?"
"Make me fall in love with my father again. Because the past love is dead..."
"Egh..."
