Arumi opened her eyes, blinked many times, she saw the alarm clock on the nightstand.
"at 10." Arumi muttered while wriggling back. He was still lying on the bed and looking up at the sky of his room remembering all the events he saw this morning.
Leon kissed Gisel! He really didn't think it was happening.
"Am I jealous?" Ask in the heart.
He realized that his marriage to Mr. Haris made him no longer free. Although only a contractual bond, but he must comply with all existing regulations. He also can't tell Leon all this, even though he wants to. But Leon is too young to understand all that.
He also did not expect Gisel to do such a thing. From the beginning, he had also seen something strange with Gisel, but he did not know what it was, just feelings.
Now, he catches Gisel and Leon kissing. Arumi closed her eyes, and covered her face with a blanket.
After taking a shower, he came out of his room, he went to the dining room. That day the house looked empty. He wanted to take a walk alone that day.
"I just want to walk, don't have to be in between." Pinta Arumi on Bejo who has prepared to go to the car.
"But Madam, if you know how?" Bejo said with fear.
"Let me talk to you." Reply Arumi smiled.
"Well, if I'm tired, I'll call you to pick up, Jo!" Arumi Imbuh.
"Good Mistress. I'm always ready." Answer Bejo.
Arumi leaves the residence of Mr. Haris to the tomb of his parents and Aunt Anne. Arumi rests in front of Papa's and Mama's belly button. He spilled all his sadness. He misses them so much. Arumi cried vanishing everything there.
Then he went to the tomb of Aunt Anne, who had always loved him since childhood, he also told about Thomas and Gisel's behavior that upset him. Arumi spends time in the cemetery while pouring out her heart to her loved ones. After being satisfied, he wiped the face of a tear, Arumi left the public cemetery.
He loves Leon, however, he is also under contract with Mr. Haris. He can't force Leon to wait or understand his life's problems. He will continue to love Leon in his own way.
Mr. Haris has told me several times about his desire for Leon. The reason why he opposed Leon's dancing pleasure, and forced to send her outside, was for his future as well.
Mr. Haris plans to give his company to Leon, hoping that his son can manage the business better in the future.
However, Leon catches a different thing from Mr. Haris' wishes. Thus, Mr. Haris asked Arumi to persuade his son to continue his school abroad, learning to take care of the business managed by his father. Leon only needed someone to understand his father's intentions.
Arumi goes into the cafe, where she works first. He ordered a cup of coffee and sat in the corner of the room.
"I'm sorry, we don't accept any more employees here, miss." Greet Adam while putting Arumi's ordered coffee cup on the table.
Arumi smiled as she thanked him.
"So, what brings you to this little cafe in the corner of town?" Adam asked while sitting in front of Arumi.
"I'm sorry I quit without any news." Said Arumi while sipping her coffee.
"Look, you've changed in just a few months. Look more mature, and be a mistress." Adam was still staring at Arumi.
"Not to make fun of me!"
"I'm not mocking you, really! You look more stunning." Praise Adam
Arumi, smiling at Adam's praise.
"Something new at the cafe? I happened to be looking for a birthday cake." Said Arumi while staring at the various parts of bread and cake.
"Your cousin, Gisel works here. He's the one who takes care of this part." Adam's Light.
"Oh yeah? Well, he always comes home late in the afternoon, until night." Arumi replied, as she moved from her chair, towards that part.
"I ordered everything, and please deliver. And tell Gisel to invite Leon's schoolmates, there'll be a party tonight for Leon." Arumi.
Adam smiled widely, then he immediately made a purchase note for Arumi. Then he told two of his employees to wrap Arumi's order.
"Thank you very much. May you be satisfied, and be our customers." Adam said when Arumi paid at the cashier's desk.
"same. Please take it by noon by afternoon. And give Gisel my message." Arumi reminded Adam.
"Good."
Arumi left the place and walked towards a place.
He went to his parents' house which was burned. He looked at his house. Arumi opens an unlocked fence, he walks among the rubble.
It was the kitchen part. She remembers helping her mother cook, or she was trying to cook. Mama always reminded, to clean the kitchen area after use.
Once, when my mom was going to the salon, Arumi and her Papa made something in the kitchen, they had fun, so it became Arumi's favorite chocolate cake.
However, because it is too happy, so it makes your kitchen dirty. When he arrived home and saw the kitchen was in a mess, the mother shouted loudly, as a result Arumi and her father re-cleaned the kitchen to be clean with the command of her mother. He smiled in remembrance of the incident.
In the distance someone notices Arumi, then he leaves, without Arumi realizing someone is looking at him. Will who was passing through the area saw Arumi was at his house.
****
Arumi contacts Dito and Bin to help her prepare for a birthday party for Leon. They happily promised to help Arumi.
They also invite some school friends to come to Leon's house.
Adam delivers Arumi's message to Gisel, then he immediately contacts some friends to come to Mr. Haris's residence for Leon's birthday party.
****
That night Leon's birthday party was celebrated with friends and family thanks to Arumi.
Mr. Haris feels that Arumi can mediate himself and his son to be closer.
That afternoon, Dito deliberately invited Leon to walk the road looking for shoes to dance. Dito accidentally tells Leon to try on the shoes he likes. Leon picked one of his favorite shoes. Then he put it back. He chose shoes for her.
When paying, silent silence he took Leon's choice shoes earlier. At that time Leon was looking at other shoes. Dito paid for everything, then drove Leon home.
Arriving at home, the yard looks a lot of cars, Leon looked astonished. However, he thought it was his Papa's guest.
Then they went into the house and headed for the backyard.
"Happy birthday Leon!" Said a friend of his then accompanied by a standing ovation.
Leon was surprised, he shook his head in disbelief. He looked around and let go of a smile. His gaze stopped on Arumi who was staring at him from a distance.
Arumi brought a birthday cake with a lighted candle on it. Then Leon blew after making a wish. After that Mr. Haris gave a happy birthday, then hugged his son tightly. Arumi perpetuated that.
Then Will wishes Leon a happy birthday, and then he follows Mr. Haris who has entered the house to his study.
They party in the backyard by the pool.
Leon showed his dancing talent with his friends. Many times Arumi clapped her hands when she saw Leon's appearance.
Gisel.
"I know what happened between you and Leon." His whisper.
Arumi turned her head to look at Gisel and frowned.
"What do you mean?" Ask Arumi.
"You and Leon have a relationship, don't you?"
Arumi did not answer, he just kept silent while staring at Leon who was having fun with his friends.
****
After the party, the house employee cleaned up the trash and cleaned up the backyard.
They collect garbage and put it in a big plastic bag. Gisel had walked into his room after helping clean up.
Mr. Haris had also slept in his room.
Arumi was still sitting in the corner of the back garden while enjoying a piece of her favorite chocolate cake.
Leon came to him.
"Thank you for the party!" He said to Arumi while sitting by her side.
"Happy birthday, sorry last night I couldn't say exactly at midnight as promised."
Leon grasped Arumi's fingers and looked at her stepmother's face. He just wanted to enjoy the night alone, himself and Arumi.
