Arumi's mobile phone ringing voice paused for a moment her activities. She grabbed the 6.5-inch flat object on the dresser. A short message without the sender's name is plastered on the phone screen.
Both Arumi's eyebrows are linked. Slowly, he opened the message.
[Don't trust your husband too much! Even though he said that he would love you forever, it could just be a fake. Be careful, always watch your husband's movements!]
Short but managed to destroy Arumi's feelings in an instant. How not, just now he convinced himself that Mahesa would still love him now a short message from a foreign number made the woman in a dilemma.
Arumi's body was trembling. The woman's legs felt weak. With all her might she sat on a dressing chair that was not too far from the position Arumi was standing.
Arumi's chest felt tight, his nose felt sour and the woman's eyes felt sore. He inhaled a deep breath, then exhaled and then inhaled it again three times.
"I'm sure it's just a prankster. He must be intent on destroying my household with Mas Mahes. Yes, Mahes is not a liar. I have to trust him!" arumi convinced herself.
After the long-haired woman had gotten over herself, she tried to get up to the bed. It felt like Arumi's body was tired and she wanted to rest for a while. Eliminate the burden of the mind that is pervading in the mind of the woman.
At exactly twelve in the afternoon, Arumi woke up. He looked out the window, the weather was already cloudy. Black clouds began to envelop the originally bright sky, the trees swaying in the wind.
"There's still time for me to get ready before it rains" Arumi murmured. Then she uncovers a thick blanket that covers most of the body except the head, then walks towards the walk in closet.
That day she wore a green tosca blouse combined with a white under-knee skirt and ponytailed hair. The woman smeared solid powder and lastly applied lipstick as a makeup refinement.
After ensuring Arumi's flawless perfect appearance, the woman descends the steps slowly. The sound of knocking coming from the high heels echoed across every corner of the room.
When going down the stairs, Ms. Tini was cleaning the family room carpet using a vacum cleaner. It just so happened that the family room was near the stairs. So that from the stairs Arumi can see clearly his ART was doing household tasks.
"Eh, Miss Rumi. Are you going to work yet?"
"Yes, Mother. I put the house. If there is any phone. However, if I don't pick up the phone, you can call Mr. Mahes."
"Good, Mom."
Arumi walked confidently. But who knew that the woman's heart was raging. A small pebble was approaching, preparing to test a household that had been built for nearly five years.
Slowly, the legs of the tall woman had arrived in front of the garage. Arumi's footsteps distract the driver who is sitting on the terrace while enjoying a cup of coffee and fried bananas made by Mbak Tini.
"Continue, sir. Then please check the state of my car. If there's no problem, drive me to Rainbow cafe!" said Arumi. A smile fell on the corner of the woman.
He deliberately gave Mr. Burhan a chance to rest longer. Arumi never forced her workers to do the required orders immediately. Because according to the woman, they are not robots that can be ruled at will without the need for rest. Arumi is principled when all workers are loyal, then he will treat them like brothers.
Arumi was already in the car. The woman's hand reached into the bluetooth headset from inside the bag. "Hello, Kay! I'm still at home waiting for Mr. Burhan to finish his snack first" Arumi said as Kayla's crisp voice rang out across the street.
"Curtain! You become too good an employer to your subordinates. Be careful, you will be used by them!" Kayla tried to warn her best friend. "Yes, come here quickly! Don't be late. Anyway I don't want to wait too long. At three o'clock in the afternoon I still have a photo shoot!"
"Okay, in less than an hour I've been there. Yes, I turned off this phone first. Mr. Grace has walked here" said Arumi.
"We're leaving now?"
Arumi nodded her head as a sign of agreement. "Don't speed, sir. Alon-alon from loon!" (The original steps are reached).Ask the driver.
Thirty minutes later, Arumi's car had entered the Rainbow cafe area. Mr. Grace, sitting behind the wheel, parked his employer's four-wheeled vehicle not far from the entrance.
"Please, Mom." The man who worked for almost five years at Mahesa's residence protected his employer from getting wet with rainwater.
That afternoon, the city of Jakarta was flooded with rain causing the streets to jam and Arumi was forced to arrive more than fifteen minutes late from the specified hour.
"Thank you" said Arumi kindly. Then he stepped foot into the cafe.
The atmosphere in the cafe has begun to be crowded, even though it is raining does not dampen the interest of visitors visiting the cafe that is going viral on various social media. Famous for the taste of coffee aroma and delicious menu that characterizes the cafe.
Cafe with a minimalist design and has a high aesthetic value built in the center of the capital city. Although dominated by wood, but does not make this cafe look outdated but gives the impression of natural because the visitors can blend with nature while enjoying a cup of coffee with friends, friends and loved ones. The addition of unique chandeliers and some indoor ornamental plants gives the impression of warm and super comfortable for the visitors.
At the very end of the chair four meters away from the entrance, a short-haired lady shoulder to shoulder waved at Arumi.
With a little run, Arumi approached the woman. "Sorry, Rin, I'm late."
"Oh, there's no need to apologize. After all Kayla and I have just arrived here, too" replied Rini, Arumi's best friend.
Then Arumi and Rini embraced and kissed the right and left cheeks in turn.
Rini and Kayla are Arumi's best friends. In the past, they were both raised in an orphanage located in the Bandung area. At the age of fourteen, Arumi was adopted by a couple who were none other than the permanent donors of the orphanage. Coincidentally, they had just been left by the daughter alone because of cancer causing his life was not helped.
Thanks to kindness, cleverness and plain attitude Arumi made Nyimas and Zidan fall in love and decided to adopt the young girl.
"Oh yeah, where's Kayla?" arumi asked as she placed the shoulder bag on the empty seat beside the woman.
"He's going to the toilet. Understandably, our best friend that one can not let the makeup on his face fade. So it must be retouching often," answered Rini chuckled.
A smile on Arumi's lips. "Yes, a model must be good at keeping up appearances. Don't let the reporters photograph Kayla as pale."
"really so. That would definitely put our best friend to shame because everyone saw Kayla's real face without makeup." Rini chuckled again.
Rini looked towards Arumi who was sitting in front of her. Seeing the look on the woman's face was a little moody, he suspected that something had happened to his best friend.
"Rumi, are you okay?" ask Rini.
Rini can read just by looking at the look of the face, gestures and look in one's eyes only in one lyric. Because, he was used to hanging out with many different people every day. Profession as a psychiatrist makes the woman with one child know very well how a person's attitude when troubled.
"W-what? I-i'm? Of course I'm fine." Arumi forced a smile. He had almost forgotten that the woman sitting in front of him was a psychiatrist. He will not be able to lie because Rini can read someone's character through the gestures of the interlocutor's body.
"Arumi .. answer my question. Is there something you're hiding?" ask Rini again. He wanted to make sure his best friend was okay.
