Heart Darkness
Chapter 4 Leon Durante ....

Malang aruhi ....

At a very young age already have to see the ingenuity and selfishness of adults. Are adults just full of abominations? First Mother and now, someone named Mr. Dio.

Aruhi was happy when she turned to look at the stairs and found Salsa at a glance. However, Salsa's blank expression killed Aruhi's happiness. More than that, Aruhi understands now, the reason Mother is willing to leave him and Dad. Not just this beautiful palace, but because I want to get married again. That means I'll have a new husband and another child. The diamond ring on Mom's hand is shiny. The sparkle scattered by the light made Aruhi's heart grow sad. I wanted to hate my mother but her love was too great for her.

"Please stop! Please ...."

Ruhi's wailing and pleading to stop beating Dad were ignored, but it became more and more so. At the same time, a limousine entered Mr. Dio's yard.

Mr. Dio smiled with satisfaction at the sight of weakly non-pinkled Benn. Benn's body was kicked repeatedly and blood poured from his nose and mouth. Aruhi knelt at Mr. Dio's feet, at the end of the man's shoes.

"Don't beat my father, please Mr. If I hadn't whined to my father, we wouldn't have come here. Let us go!"

Mr. Dio turned his eyes to Aruhi throwing insults, as if Aruhi was bird droppings at the end of his flash boots.

"Never look for your mother in my house! The woman you saw, she wasn't your mother. Understood?" exclaimed Mr. Dio riled and then snapped the shoes off Aruhi's face. Pushed hard by Mr. Diomanta's harsh treatment, Aruhi knelt down again.

"All right, sir, I understand. Please let go of my father ...."

"Of course!" maui Mr. Dio. "Before that, teach this man a lesson until he's caught up and stop bothering my daughter. Then get rid of them! Aih, completely desecrating my joy."

"Okay, sir," replied the guards.

Someone's coming down from the limousine. Leon Durante, top actor, senior public figure, charismatic face, swept a look around after getting out of the Limousine.

Luke Diomanta hurriedly welcomed the guest of honor. He bowed and shook hands tightly.

"Sir Leon, how are you???"

"Well ... yeah .. as you can see."

"Absolutely. You still look fit and healthy. Your film is also very successful. Your face is everywhere. Increasingly charismatic in the twilight age and very alluring. This country is in your grasp, sir."

Mr. Dio tries to take the guest in heart with a string of praise. Leon chuckles. Diomanta's voice sounded like a bribe without sincerity. Even so, Leon still respect the flattery full of nonsense to cheer the host heart.

"Population, success and wealth are God's blessings. Enjoy it while you can. When you lie in a coffin, you will no longer be able to work. Your money won't buy your life back. Do your best today, as if tomorrow you are going to die" said Leon Durante and he began to be disturbed by the sound of crying at the end of the yard. The incident of commotion had caught Leon's attention.

"Great philosophy .." said Mr. Dio.

"Luke Dio, I've been hearing crying ever since. What are the storms? Why are your housekeepers clustered like hunting dogs pouncing on prey?"

"Oh that .. is nothing Mr. Leon. There's a little distraction. How is Elgio Durante? The child must have grown up by now. If I had a granddaughter, I'd be paired with Elgio! The kinship relationship between us can grow even tighter."

Mr. Dio sends a code to the bodyguards to immediately remove the body of Benn and his son who are ruining the scene.

"Are you still a believer from such a colossal era?"

Leon Durante watches Luke Diomanta and then on the back of a man not far from him. Some people tried to cover Leon's eyes. It was natural that the party was often accompanied by a commotion, but the hoarse cry of a little girl was already very disturbing. Does Luke Dio have a heart? Violence in front of children? The little girl even made a very hoarse voice as if she had been screaming the entire time.

"Come in, sir. There is a slight disturbance but it will be cleared soon. The show will start soon. Salsabila just returned from Switzerland and Mr. Conrad has proposed to her to be his wife."

"Well, congratulations on your daughter's wedding. I'm sure this wedding dowry must be very profitable for your business" Leon said. Honey, Mr. Dio is too stupid to translate Leon's words.

Leon Durante climbed the stairs one by one. The more ignored the faltering voice the more it scratched his conscience. A boy needs help and no one responds. Has the moral of the man of this century collapsed? His gaze retraced the body of the man half-dragged away towards the gate. Leon Durante's eyes hit something. Mobile ... and ....

"Benn?!"

Leon doesn't believe in his eyes. He was astonished by the astonishment before quickly descending the stairs to check his vision. He didn't look wrong. Leon drew closer to the blurry body of blood.

"God ... Ebenn?! Aruhi?! Hey, let go of him! What are you doing?"

Leon squeals wrath at the bodyguards dragging Benn's weak body. Leon gripped the bodyguard's suit and threw it away from Benn.

Leon bends over to check on Benn's barely recognizable condition. He turned, then hugged the hot Aruhi beside Benn. Rubbing Aruhi's head affectionately. Tranquilize.

"Why are you here, Ruhi? Aren't you going to the rides today? Well, God. What do these people do to a child?"

"Master Leon?!" call Luke Diomanta to Leon Durante.

"ABBLER! GET BENN TO THE CAR!" Leon again screeched furiously ignoring Diomanta's call. A surrogate driver named Abner is assisted by Yama to bring Benn into the Limousine.

"Get in the car with your father, Aruhi! Wait for Uncle Leon there, Dad! Uncle needs to talk to someone."

Aruhi nodded obediently and went to the car. Leon's teeth were cluttering with anger. He comes face to face with an innocent-looking Luke Diomanta.

"You're trying to take the life of my personal assistant?"

"Aaaa-, Asis - ten you, Mister?" Throw Mr. Dio as if he's gagged with something.

"I'm not braver you're Luke Diomanta! You whack him in front of his son? Isn't that outrageous?"

"Your assistant? This lowly man is your assistant? I can explain Mr. Leon. It's not what you think it is?"

"Luke Diomanta, I think you're acting really mean ...."

"Mr Leon .. I can explain, this man was my confidant until he brought - "

"Luke Diomanta, I'm canceling all of our employment contracts and initial agreements. You don't have a heart. Your conscience is dead. I wouldn't put my money on a crooked man like you. Excuse me ...."

"Master Leon, don't be like that! Benn has kidnapped and taken my daughter with him. If you were me, would you accept it with a chest? I'm just a very angry father. I'm not as good as you, Mister."

"Oh, so ... Your daughter is Benn's wife? Did Benn beat him up or what until you were so brutal and despotic? Did Ebenn Amarante torture your daughter? My assistant is in the ranks of husband afraid wife. See what you've done?"

Leon clucked, "Good, now people will know ... Your daughter did not come home from Switzerland but left her husband and son for another marriage. Father and son really have no conscience."
