Heart Darkness
Chapter 162 Love Me Like You Do ...


The heads continued to look towards the door of the Chapel as the piano keys were sunk by the fingers lentik play the rhythm of The Wedding. The Chapel bench is full of devotees, predominantly filled with Durante Land residents. Maribella William is a native of Durante. His father had been with the Durante family for generations, although both of his parents died.


Arumi's hands danced agilely on the piano. Her golden brown long hair was allowed to unravel and without excessive makeup the beautiful look of the girl was dazzling. Marya did not stop praising her sister. Arumi is also known to register to join in playing core school basketball team. He wants to join the Global League at the end of the summer.


Wondering, will Arumi and Ethan go on a date? Apparently not, Ethan looks very sleek and neat with a bro flow haircut, occasionally smiling at Sarah Daniela next to him. So, right said Arumi, his best friend was dating using logic with Sarah?


But sometimes Ethan is caught watching Arumi. Cover falling in love with Arumi very well stated in the cute charismatic look. The Archilles is not far from Arumi. Behind the sunglasses, the expressionless face, no body knows, what was the man thinking?


Marya and Reinha are on the front bench with Elgio Durante on the left and Lucky Luciano on the right. Next to Lucky Luciano, Claire Luciano is glowing.


In the back of them, Carlos Adelberth stood with Oriana. In a row with them, Hellton Pascalito for the first time was seen among the crowd with a smileless Irishak Bella who occasionally looked at Carlos.


"If you want to meet him, please Irish!" hellton from next door.


"Later on! Don't start a war with him!" reply Irish riled up as if Hellton was about to punch Carlos Adelberth in the forehead.


"Go to Carlos, Irishak. My two sisters are here, unless you're comfortable with them." Hellton was patient.


Salsa Diomanta and Sunny stepped between the benches and upon seeing Hellton, Sunny led her brother away to the Hellton bench. Without wasting any time Irish left Hellton gone to Carlos.


"How are you Irish?" greet Oriana.


"Hi Lizzy, you guys are very compatible with the same color of tie and dress" replied Irish.


"You sound jealous when you have a lover" Oriana smiled skeptically.


Irishak glanced at the noisy Hellton with his two brothers who looked very different, kept smiling and occasionally hugged Sunny Diomanta. Irishak believes Hellton Pascalito is playing a trick to free Sunny from prison. So did Lucky Luciano, who seemed to breathe free air, standing on the front bench constantly looking at his young wife as if afraid that the girl had been stolen. On their side, Elgio Durante is seen. He adored the man, the way Elgio Durante treated his wife. Irish quickly returned to Carlos and observed carefully.


"Are you okay?"


"Yes, I'm sorry I left you at the apartment when you were sick. I had no choice but to save my love for the East Coast but it seemed that he was attracted to someone there."


Irishak clucked softly while Oriana let out a long sigh.


"Well, it's not true that Carlos. I want to focus on my career" Oriana protested.


Irish and Oriana kept fussing about Carlos and the end of their triangle story was absurd.


"I wonder who made Lizzy leave you?" Irish sounds sarcasm.


"Oh come on Irish, are we going to argue and attack each other?" oriana was caught not wanting to serve Irish. "I see the man you are with is so attentive that he silences all those who pursue you with his cruelty. My advice, you have to keep him!" Oriana answered from next to Carlos.


"Are you really going to make a fuss here?" carlos asked whispered softly, he hugged the two women and rubbed their arms and even peeked at the top of Irishak's head. Both are mature women but when meeting ..., exactly cats and dogs ..., always noisier. They have been competing in anything since elementary school. Whether .... What's wrong with them?


Lucky Luciano turned around to catch the noise, frowning when he found Oriana as well as Irishak Bella and Carlos Adelberth trapped between the two women.


Lucky clucked, raise an objection. "Your whispers are so disturbing, Alberth!"


"It's over, Mr. Luciano, please look ahead before your little sister looks here!" carlos said a little politely.


Claire Luciano turned back when she found him offended. "Do I seem to care about you, sir?" Claire feels weird on her own. "Who do you think you are, Mr Adelberth?"


Claire's sharp words for Oriana and Irishak looked at each other questioningly and looked up at Carlos. While being looked at as shrugging, he had no answer. Carlos smiled amusedly because he finally managed to make the two women on his side make up despite only being suspicious of him.


"You're still angry when your brother's back?" carlos asked teasing the girl in front, releasing hugs, propping her hands together on the front bench and whispering slightly behind Claire's back. "You should come in two days and help me fix my house, or I'll keep bothering you!"


Claire turned her head and found Carlos smiling at her.


"I can hire someone to replace me, Mr. Adelberth. Even though I'm only 18, I'm a very, very busy girl."


"I don't care about that! Just come and help me fix my house!"


"Oh, you know, I'm gonna tell your commander that you had a hard drink one night and hurt a girl!"


"Yes, of course. They'll believe you when you say I'm drunk and then destroy my own house" Carlos taunted Claire's face. "You'd better be responsible, Miss Claire Luciano!"


"What's he doing, Carl?" asked Lucky Luciano who joined again after his wife's ladeni, glanced at his sullen sister.


Claire quickly looked at Carlos, glared sharply at the man, gave the order to keep her mouth shut. Ignoring Claire's instructions, Carlos smiled triumphantly. Carlos knows, Lucky Luciano strictly forbade his little sister to hold a gun.


"Take up a gun and destroy my house, Mr. Luciano," Carlos replied without a look. He stopped smiling, blinked one eye. "She should be at my house in two days at 9am, or I'll sue Claire Luciano for an assault."


"Cla ... ?!"


"Don't believe him!" screw Claire on Lucky Luciano. "You're just an amateur!" grunt Claire on Carlos.


"Well, we'll see!"


***


Minutes passed, Arumi had changed two songs before returning to play The Wedding. While pressing the piano keys, he glances at Ethan, throbbing with love as their eyes accidentally meet and heartache as the man talks while smiling at Sarah.


Playing the melody of Dreams Come True, Arumi can finally only hope Ethan Sanchez succeeds with his ideals and becomes a great person in the future. He will still like the man even though Ethan's hopes of changing everything for them still arise in his heart.


The song ends when there is still no sign of the bride's presence.


Marya and Reinha looked at each other, somewhat nervously. How not? They have a terrible trauma about wedding day. Never forget it will not even disappear over time, because the memory is one of the life events that will always be embedded in the brain.


"Why hasn't Mr Abner come yet?" marya asked worriedly, looking at the entrance. Padre Pio had long stood before the altar.


"Oh my God, did something happen? Maribella hasn't completely recovered her legs" Reinha said. The hands of both of them clasped each other.


Elgio Durante and Lucky Luciano would not follow the door.


"I think it's a bad idea to leave Maribella!" marya said she was getting very, very agitated. Elgio was forced to hold his wife tightly and calm her down.


"Abner convinced us to wait in Chapel. So, I guess that guy has something ready!"


Yeah, exactly.


Abner is finally seen at the door, pushing Maribella in a wheelchair, confined to a flower pole.


"Elgio, shouldn't you go over there and push that wheelchair?" marya asked, her tone clear. He started crying. They have no parents on their wedding day and live only on the strong affection between them. Universal affection without blood ties.


"Marya, Abner is clean strong they will go together to the front of the altar. Don't worry!" elgio said holding his lover tighter.


Abner Luiz hands Maribella to help her stand up.


You by my side, that's how I see us


I close my eyes, and I can see us


We're on our way to say I do


My secret dreams have all come true


"Let's go together, Maribella Wiliam."


Maribella nodded, but could not use her wand. So, deeply flattered and flowery as Abner Luiz held her back and faced the altar, preparing to walk down the aisle.


"They're so sweet" whispered Reinha teary-eyed. "They finally got married," she said again, shattering also the glass in her beautiful eyes, her shoulders immediately shaken.


"Come on Enya, don't ruin the day with tears" comfort Lucky Luciano. As Reinha cried, whining, the girl looked like an 18-year-old.


"They're both my parents, Lucky. My mother died of cancer, my father followed, died in an accident with Marya's father. My grandfather and grandmother were too old to take care of me. Elgio and Mr. Abner came to me, took me to Durante Land. From that moment on, my life was with them. Now, Elgio has a real mother and sister, I think my brother will forget me" he whispered in all directions.


Lucky Luciano hugged the sad Reinha.


"You heard yourself that your sister only recognized you as her little sister. You are similar in every aspect. Angry, stubborn but very, very sweet" Lucky said. "Come baby! You're not gonna lose Abner or Maribella, let alone Elgio Durante. Look at them so very, very happy." Reinha nodded and smiled haru-blue.


Being ..., leaving a wide smile on the faces of the guests and a look of adoration on him, Abner Luiz stepped up for sure. His arm muscles sticking out behind the silver suit that wrapped his body. He continued to look forward, smiling characteristically, sure managed to make Maribella smitten back and forth at him. True, from behind the short and thin veil that covered the face, Maribella did not stop staring lovingly. White dress accented with long sleeved brocade and medium tail, which is not megar but very, very elegant wrapping the petite body of the woman. Half updo hair with a very definitive curly, a little hair ornament, Maribella does not use a lot of accents on her face. She knew Abner loved something natural from her face, and a make up artist added a little more to her beautiful natural soft look.


"You're so sweet, Mr. Abner," said Maribella.


"It's nothing, Maribella! Everything just started. We'll go on a honeymoon wherever you like."


"I want to be in Durante Land" said Maribella. They're passing half the hallway.


"Oh right, Mai. We've been raided three times."


Maribella smiled broadly, "The fourth time we'll actually do it, we've been officially like lovers. Let's get on the van and go with the kids to the beach."


"Well, right now, let's tie a promise!" retali Abner breathed quickly in nervousness.


The atmosphere of blessing takes place solemnly. Maribella sat on the prepared bench, still unable to stand for too long. Well, after a long, tiring day, they finally got married. The woman's veil was opened slowly and Maribella's beautiful face was waiting. Their eyes are linked.


Time to kiss a lover. Maribella looked down at the face of Abner Luiz kneeling before her, looking at her with pure affection. He ended up marrying the man who ran with him on the edge of the forest years ago. Didn't expect Abner to end up with him. The polite kiss took place under the accompaniment of applause. Marya and Reinha embrace in happiness.


The atmosphere of the Durante residence is really sparkling because Elgio Durante and Reinha changed the concept of marriage from private to public. Some sort of inauguration. The back garden was filled with Durante Land residents instantly turned furious.


Important guests Abner Luiz greeted in the afternoon but stayed when he heard the party would be held in the evening. It's amazing because there will be mass dances like their ancestors often did during the big holidays.


Maribella couldn't stand up properly, because of the ankle next to her, so Abner continued to support her. He then just sat down, unable to greet guests one by one.


In another corner despite not having Maribella as a wife, Hansel Adelio arranged food preparation in two days with Marya and Reinha. Wish he also found love, someone like Maribella.


Surprise when Ibu Luna appeared to be present with her husband. Elgio Durante sends an invitation to Luna and her family. He then greeted them, greeted the pleasantries, asked Luna's situation.


"Thank you for joining us in our joy" Elgio said.


"Thank you, Mr. Elgio has invited us" Christian Hugo replied.


"How's Luna doing?" asked Elgio still hard to believe, he had a twin brother named Laluna.


"Luna's improving, she's a strong girl. Oh yeah, maybe it's rude, but I didn't find a good time. We invite you and your family to come to our home for dinner as a thank you for saving Luna" Christian Hugo said as his wife glazed by his side waiting expectantly for Elgio Durante's answer.


"Alright, Sir. I'm coming."


Christian Hugo looked at his sparkling wife, who was unable to hide the expression of novelty, as if he wanted to look at Elgio Durante all night.


"Are you happy, Madam?" the husband asked his wife before returning to Elgio Durante. "I hope you bring your wife, Mr. Durante."


"Of course, we'll come together. But my guardians may not be coming, they will be on their honeymoon soon" replied Elgio, looking at Maribella and Abner, who did not stop smiling.


Abner is seen saying something until Maribella smiles shyly before kissing Maribella strong and deep, no matter the sea of humans. The two men didn't seem to want to delay the first night.


"We're waiting for you, Mr. Elgio."


Elgio immediately nodded and said goodbye to Queena and led the woman to the inside of the house joined by Lucky Luciano, Carlos Adelberth and others. Queena was present even though not with Axel Anthony, the girl was with the mayor and his wife. Lucky Luciano didn't want to ask, but what he heard, Queena was working with Anna. That means in a special clinic that the Mafia used to handle when they got hurt. Lucky Luciano just can't stop thinking, Axel let go of the woman just like that after seeming unable to live without Queena. Or the stubborn Queena kicked Axel out of him.


The more the night gets crowded. Salsa and Sunny choose to enjoy the atmosphere from the balcony. Wanting to go home but very curious about the sea of humans who began to line up with their respective partners.


"The mayor and his wife" said Salsa pointing with a glass at the mayor and his wife who were led into the inner chamber, to a more private place. Elgio accompanied Marya and was seen talking about something with the mayor's wife. "You didn't say hello to them?"


Sunny cynical, "One time."


"Look at Aruhi, Sunny! Our little girl is very, very elegant and extraordinarily beautiful."


"Diomanta "Land. Elgio Durante will be mayor one day and Aruhi will be loyal to that man. They're so sweet, yeah," said Sunny.


"No, don't go in there! Look at Jeremy Mendeleya, very, very overwhelmed with crime."


"Yes, you're right, brother. Elgio and Aruhi we will live quietly and peacefully, taking care of their business."


Salsa. "Look at Arumi!" the word Salsa Diomanta switched to Arumi. His eyes were full of anxiety.


"Did Ethan Sanchez stop being his tutor?"


"Come on, Ethan's with a girl. Arumi had been sad for the past few days. Maybe because of Ethan," said Salsa seriously observe Arumi. His daughter grabbed the hand of the powerless Archilles, going into the crowd as the people's feast began. Music is playing and people in pairs will start dancing. The legs were stomped, the hands moved with the couple slightly jumping and circling.


Arumi is so brilliant. Shining under the glitter of the lights. In a moment it attracts the attention of guests. When his body was nudged by another participant, Archilles swiftly hugged him.


"Miss, you better get inside, it's too crowded here!" archilles exclamation among the sounds of music. "You can get hurt."


Arumi let go of the hug and smiled. He repeatedly stepped on the foot of Archilles. Despite the pain of being trampled on by Arumi's shoes, the Archilles seemed to stand firm.


"Miss, come on inside! This atmosphere is not suitable for you!" shouted again.


Ethan Sanchez looks at both. How Arumi danced happily.


Archilles took the girl in circles. Ethan sits at a table with community friends invited by Reinha and Marya.


"Arumi Chavez, the prettiest tonight. She's Marya Corazon's little sister, really a blindingly bright sister," said one teenage boy who looked utterly fascinated by Arumi Chavez.


"She's single" said another.


"Does he dare to conquer his heart?"


"I heard he was crazy about Ethan Sanchez," the others turned to Ethan, who pretended not to care but listened to the conversation of his friends.


"If you don't mind, Ethan Sanchez, I want to hook him."


"You have to get past his bodyguard" said another before Ethan answered.


Arumi Chavez really made the single men at the party fall in love. How not, with a beautiful face, smooth and proportionate, the girl is very alluring.


"Did you stop being sad, Miss?" archilles asked amid the frenzy of music that resonated and boomed the voices of the party visitors. Their legs move in rhythm.


"Yes." Yeah." Arumi nodded. Her heart still saddens every time she sees Ethan and Sarah even though Ethan can't lie about not wanting to date. Ethan and Sarah were dancing very close and close, Arumi did not like it, she was very jealous. I can't ignore Ethan even if he tries. Accidentally his foot again stepped on the foot of Archilles and his bodyguard seemed to not mind.


"You can dance with my feet, Miss!"


"My body weight increased when I was heartbroken."


"Yes, I can see. Stop being sad, Miss. Only a foolish man doesn't realize how beautiful you are" Archilles comforted.


"You're making fun of me? Want to bribe me or something, Archilles Lucca?"


"Well, I won't talk anymore."


Arumi smiles but grimaces when her foot is accidentally stepped on by another dancer.


"Are you all right, Miss? If you put your foot on my foot, you might not get stepped on."


"You're so good, Archilles," complained Arumi did not want to take the opportunity because it means he will be closer to the Archilles. Arumi turned to Ethan Sanchez, quite finding the man watching her, ignoring Sarah next to him. No waste of time, Arumi let go of the heels.


"Do you really mind if I step on your foot, sir?" ask Arumi to the Archilles.


The guard nodded. I don't know what's going on, he knows Miss Arumi wants to make Ethan Sanchez jealous. Arumi's legs on his legs, it means he has to hug the girl tighter.


My God, is he stuck again between Miss Arumi and Ethan Sanchez?


It looks like Arumi managed to light a fire. Ethan Sanchez doesn't take his eyes off Arumi. The girl, the prettiest among the visitors who came and entered the arm of Archilles when accidentally nudged another dancer. The girl did not rush to let go of her embrace and smiled at the Archilles. While the bodyguard without expression seemed not to want to waver, but how long will the Archilles be steadfast?


Ethan does not expect his turn to arrive, he realizes he is turning idiot, wants to rush the crowd and pull Arumi away from there. He fought with his logic, set his breath and let his heart speak; the man gave up. He fell in love with a beautiful fool. His mother may yell at him but he promises he won't give up anything, whether it's his mother, his sister or his future. He just wants to be with Arumi.


"Sarah, I'm sorry. But I have to go! Can you go home with other friends?"


"Ethan?! What's up?"


"I don't like seeing her with other people, I think I'm in love with her."


"Who do you mean?" ask Sarah, "Arumi?"


Ethan nodded without hesitation. They are together almost every day, Arumi frankly said she likes him very much, not shy to kiss him and hope he has the same feelings. However, he ignored it because he was busy sticking with logic. Now, how Arumi laughs at his bodyguard who looks willing to do anything for the stupid girl, Ethan Sanchez is jealous. Oh no, Ethan's mind is fucked up and his heart is in a fog.


Sarah looks very disappointed but understands Ethan Sanchez.


"I'm sorry, Sarah. I have to go!"


Ethan moves towards Arumi, through the crowd he reaches a flabbergasted Arumi, as well as the Archilles who breathe a sigh of relief or resignation, I don't know. Without a word, Ethan grabs Arumi's hand and drags her away from there. The archilles pegged for a moment before coming from behind.


Ethan continues to hold Arumi's hand as if afraid of the girl flying.


"Ethan?!"


Arumi's a little limp. His leg was stepped on by someone.


"Did something happen?" Ethan turns to Arumi and seeing the girl grimacing in pain, he pulls Arumi away to his back before Archilles does that. They made it out of the crowd, while his community mates cheered with applause. Ethan's attitude is enough as firm information that his friends should not intend to make Arumi gebetan.


"What's going on?" ask Arumi. "I'm having fun" added Arumi.


"Can I see! Do you enjoy lying on your bodyguard's thigh, being in his arms?"


Arumi, I really like Ethan jealous.


"A ... ku .. it ...."


"Let's go with me!"


"Where?"


"Follow it!"


Salsa and Sunny looked at each other.


"I like Ethan Sanchez" Sunny said.


Salsa sipped a drink from orange juice, feeling strange because deja vu visited her. He suddenly leaned on the bodyguard.


"Yes, Ethan is perfect" said Salsabila exchanging beliefs quickly or he was ignoring something familiar in him. "Arumi will pursue his dreams, ideals and dreams Sunny. She can't marry young like her sister."


Sunny agreed. "Let her return to the entertainment world. It can divert his energy from dating, brother."


While Arumi was about to ride on the bonnet, forget her jacket was just a sleeveless dress. Archilles ran from behind, just in time for Arumi's blanket. Ethan buttons Arumi's jacket, staring at the girl's own grimace.


"Will you be my girlfriend?" ask Ethan until the stupid girl is agape.


"Me?!" ask Arumi stammer. "You'll probably be very embarrassed when my name is read out last, Ethan." Arumi's quick-flowering flowers instantly bloomed large without passing buds.


"I don't care" replied Ethan Sanchez quickly.


Before Arumi nodded, Ethan Sanchez took the girl away with him. The sudden stimulation in his heart was like an electric current, full of shock and trembling as Arumi's hands coiled around his waist. Is this what it feels like to fall in love?


"Where are we going, Ethan?"


"Host House!"


"So long?"


"Hantunya only existed at this hour after being lured his soul with many spells repeatedly."
