Leon embraces Arumi's shoulder along the road to their apartment which is just opposite.
"I'm glad we could meet and live life like this." Said Leon as he continued to stare at the snow-covered streets.
"We can walk alone freely without anyone noticing me. No gossip or news about the official or his partner's scandal." Arumi's voice giggled.
"Yes. There are too many complicated rules." Sahut Leon's.
"Yes. I also began to be able to make peace with my current status. I'm doing this to carry on what my family has. And of course, I want to know what really happened to my parents. Then Aunt Anne's family." Said Arumi as she put her jacket together, then slipped her hand into Leon's waist.
Leon pulls Arumi's head and kisses the hair of the woman who is his father's wife.
"Yes, I know, Papa was actually having an affair with Aunt Viona."
Immediately Arumi pulled away, let go of Leon's embrace and looked at the young man sharply.
"How can you?"
Leon sighed deeply, then looked towards Arumi.
"I know, Papa has, hhmmm the habit of committing violence while having a relationship with a woman. He had a secret room in our private house in the vineyard. And another one in his room. In the past, I used to see my mom, had bruises and scratches on her back and hips, sometimes on her chest." Leon paused for a moment to take a pause.
"Mama told me all about it in the hospital, before she left. We spent a lot of time together and accompanied my mother in the hospital. He said that papa has such a personality, so asked me not to blame him. It was a form of her devotion as a wife. She also said she got used to it and started enjoying it all. Papa asks Mama to focus on the family and stops as a stage dancer. In return, Mama gets that dance school. But he built from nothing. Start looking for students, then teaching staff, to create their own management system for the school. From childhood I always followed Mama, and was interested in dancing like her. Papa always forbade me to dance, and Mama never offered me to study at that school either, because of my Papa.
You, know. I learned to be silent, just from watching children practice. And then until Dito and Bin got into that school, Mama let me dance, but she never trained me personally." Leon looked up for a moment, then looked up at Arumi, who was still watching Leon tell him about himself.
"Tante Viona was Papa's lover, long ago. However, she gets pregnant with someone, and leaves Papa. Mama was surprised when my father proposed to her. Mama had refused, but he convinced Mama, even can take the heart of my Mama's extended family. You know, Mama's family vineyard business, finally joined Papa's company, and Uncle Bill was very close to Papa."
Arumi nodded in understanding.
"Then, how are your mama and Viona?"
"Mom knows, Papa still harbors a taste for Viona. And when she found out she had the disease, Mama told me not to hate Viona and her family. Mama is a kind person. He never taught hate or revenge. He always said we should be thankful and forgiving. I don't know what his heart is made of. Even when he saw with his own eyes the affair of Papa and Viona, he just remained silent, as if he did not know. You know, I always felt, Mama always took care of me." Leon's story is long.
It turns out that Leon has not learned that Dito is the son of his father with Viona, then Arumi pats Leon on the shoulder, and smiles.
"I feel ashamed of him. Really, I feel unworthy to be his successor." Tukas Arumiy.
Leon held onto Arumi's shoulder and turned towards her.
"I know, Papa just made you his way into his business. And I know you'll be separated someday. I've heard him discuss with someone, but I don't know him either. He said, if you were one of the candidates for a wife for my Papa, if you would qualify to be elected as the chairman of the city council, because of your family's reputation, and your story." Look Leon.
"However, why should I, open another more mature woman?" Arumi snorted in annoyance, remembering Mr. Haris who took away the sanctity he kept only for the ones he loved.
Leon chuckled at Arumi's question.
"You know, after Mama died, Papa always came to Mr. Broto's and Madam Fey's invitation party. Papa always vent his desires by choosing one of the young girls there. Including, Andin was once her girl. I caught him out of Papa's special room."
Leon's speech made Arumi glare and look at Leon in disbelief.
"Why should I lie. There are some other girls too yes I've seen. Maybe, she chose you because you're a virgin." Tackle Leon with his chuckle.
Arumi covered her face with her hands, she felt very embarrassed, as well as humiliated, if her marriage was just for such a thing.
"Why you?" Leon asked in amazement at Arumi's behavior.
"Your father has taken away my chastity at will." Grumpy Arumi with annoyance.
"really?"
"Yes. You don't believe it? Then you? I'm sure you've had a lot with other girls before."
Leon took a long breath.
"With you!" Answer's short. However, again making Arumi surprised so that this immediately stared intently in disbelief at Leon.
"Yes, with you, with your deadly seduction the other day." Leon convinces Arumi.
"But you really are like a young lion in bed!" Sela Arumi punches Leon in the arm.
Leon laughed out loud, followed by Arumi.
They continued their way to the apartment.
Arumi pulls Leon's arm into a store to buy some groceries for the house. Leon accompanied while choosing some ingredients as well for tomorrow's preparations.
After paying them out while carrying their own groceries.
"Leon, I'm sorry." Arumi arrived.
"For what?"
"Because I've taken your mama's position."
Leon smiled at Arumi's confession.
"I'll be waiting for you. I know my papa will let you go. I love you, Rumi." Leon approached Arumi, then kissed Arumi on the forehead.
Arumi's heart is very flowering flower. He did not expect, Leon could think of such an adult at his young age.
They continued to walk towards Arumi's apartment. Then after Arumi got into the elevator, Leon continued his way back to his apartment.
Behind him, Jeff watched Leon and Arumi with jealousy. Starting from them walking together, to joking with each other, until Leon kissed friendly for Arumi earlier. He likes Arumi. Really liked. He wants to get the girl for him, despite having to compete with the son of his boss.
Jeff goes into the basement of the apartment building to the car park, then enters the house with a feeling of annoyance at Leon.
