My Guardian Angel (The Dust of Love)
Chapters 134. Denso y Oscuro's

In a week Arumi forced himself harder than any other day, he prioritized work. Put aside the complexity of his love story. Audition participants who successfully pass the selection leave 10 out of 50 people and in two days the panelists prepare to determine only two names from this section will follow the quarantine period and the further selection process to be the Next Top Model.

During this quarantine period, the contestants' relationship with the outside world would be completely cut off. That means no internet access, no phones, no computers, and no television when they compete. The more exposed a smartphone is, the higher the likelihood of spoilers leaking, and manufacturers are not prepared to take that risk.

Selected contestants will pass through many challenges after challenges summarized in a film per episode for Reality Show. Run away Challenge, a variety of momentum shooting sessions with unique concepts and this will be very useful as the provision of her model career in the future. 

One of them has secured his place. Chloe Caroline is flawless for all three judges. Leave one position, one participant will soon join only there are two participants have the same score. The two jurors differ in opinion and the choice of each so that it takes time for two contestants to convince the last panelist who has not yet dropped a choice. The two contestants are Zefanya Lucca and Michelle Jolie.

Brelda Laura chose Zefanya because she thought Zefanya was successful for all challenges when she was the youngest among the other contestants. Noah Miller specifically sees Michelle Jolie as a model candidate ready for the competition.

They wait for Arumi Chavez to decide. The two girls then face off against Arumi who holds the scales in her hands. He finally created an additional challenge.

"Taking a challenge is common in this show and I want you both to participate. Are you ready?" asked Arumi Chavez staring alternately at the two girls who were adrift at the age of four.

Zefanya Lucca 17 and Michelle Jolie 21. If I can be honest, Noah's right. Michelle is mentally much more prepared than Zefanya. But Arumi thinks Zefanya deserves a chance. Not because of her brother. No. In this case, you are only required to be professional.

"Do you both have lovers?" ask Arumi Chavez. "We heard from Zephaniah."

"Not for a while. I want to be in this competition and not be involved with men."

"Michelle?"

"No, Judges. I'm on a career, dating troubles me."

"All right! I'm changing questions. Do you have a brother or sister? Or just so happens to be an only child?" asked Arumi preparing with an answer. "Michelle?"

"Yes, Judges?"

"How many people?"

"One guy named Grace Jolie."

"What a pretty name and Zefanya?" asked Arumi looking at the girl straight.

"Yes, Judges." Zefanya Lucca recalls slowly.

"I can't hear your answer."

"I have one older brother and one older sister."

"alright. According to Noah Miller, he considered Zefanya is the type of insecure to not totality in shooting."

"Yes, Judges. I panic easily."

"And according to Brelda Laura, Michelle Jolie is too monotonous from any shooting challenge. And I admit the opinion of both jurors on both of you is this true. So, I gave Zefanya and Michelle one more challenge. I only judge based on the results of the shoot. This is my challenge to both of you!"

Arumi hung up the word until the atmosphere turned tense.

"Family Harmony. Love among Brothers. I'd like you both to translate this shooting concept into a pose with your brother. Family expression. You are both future models. I don't need to give you much direction."

Michelle Jolie is so excited. He smiled brightly compared to Zefanya who seemed to want to protest.

"Say Your Will now or you may refuse to participate in this challenge. Since that means no more judgment, please stop and give the others a chance to get away."

"I'm ready to Judges." Michelle Jolie said.

"What about you, Zefanya Lucca?" ask Arumi.

Silent.

"Is your family all healthy?" ask Arumi again.

It took a long time for Arumi to think, is the condition of her lover bad?

"Yes," Zefanya nodded doubtfully.

"Where are your brothers?"

"Here with me. It's just, my older brother doesn't like to be exposed."

"You can give up, Zefanya," Arumi proposes that what she saw yesterday was her lover. "I don't have to vote because Michelle will go with Chloe automatically." Arumi's voice was trembling.

Awaiting answers. Zefanya Lucca looks at her.

"All right, I'll take the challenge." Zefanya Lucca.

Arumi turned to her two friends who were wondering. Noah Miller was clearly against his idea.

"You can make a runaway challenge in this studio, right now, without having to waste our time, Miss Arumi." Noah Miller raised objections after they turned to the break room. "You can give them a runaway circuit girl, a natural girl or a Queen of City. And decide the outcome this time."

"Remember that this isn't about runaway. Both are less able to translate the concept of shooting, Mr. Miller," Arumi argued firmly. "I gave them the simplest challenge. Family harmony. Where the fundamental medium for every human being is the family. The romantic relationship of brother and sister."

"Miss Arumi, you will have trouble later because the simplest challenge will be per-hurried for you to give a decision."

"This is my problem, Mr. Miller. I'll decide. You two won't intervene with me. We'll see the results."

"I agree with Arum. You'll both stop arguing because you'll both be performing talent shows before the final show."

"We've been training" Noah Miller said. "Would you like to have lunch with me, Miss Arumi?"

Arumi shakes. "No, Mr. Miller. I'll be with my assistant. Let's meet later this afternoon."

Itzik Damian needs attention and he will do his best for his best friend including asking Brelda Laura to understand him. When Arumi came out of the break room, the man was on the phone.

"Yes. I'm coming back soon. Does Aurora want anything?" tanyanya is affectionate. Different when with him often rebuke him and say it culas.

Itzik Damian.

"Alright, Honey. See you soon."

Arumi stood near the man.

"How old, Aurora?"

"He was very sweet to me. Just like you like to whine at him." Itzik Damian is good at pissing him off.

"Don't tell me you slept with a teenage girl. Oh, my God."

"Did he do it to you? You're hard to let go. Is it because you were together one night? Aha ... Maybe some nights?" itzik asked Damian I don't know what this guy's problem is. Look for things to make her cry and then panting to comfort her.

Once upon a time in a tree house. They were almost together. There were so many opportunities and nothing ever happened. Because the man took good care of her.

"Forget over! Let's go around for a while, have lunch and come back to rest."

Arumi shakes. "I've got a final rehearsal with Noah Miller and the crew for tomorrow's final."

"Where?"

"Studio."

"There's still a few hours." They're in the lobby. Waiting for a company car invitation to return to the hotel. The participants have been home since an hour ago including Zefanya and Michelle who have to do their duties with the crew that has been prepared.

Get out to the terrace because the car is visible. However, both of them immediately froze. The black car stopped just behind their pickup car. Car door open. Agathias Altair hurriedly descended from there. The man approached them.

"Miss Zefa let me know, you're still here, Miss. I'm picking you up. Madame Nastya wants to see you in the City."

Arumi sculpting. Put your hands in the coat pocket. He likes to be nervous. There was no enthusiastic tone to the voice of Agathias Altair. He suspected this sign.

"The jury cannot visit the contestant's house because it will cause misunderstanding." Itzik Damian reminded.

"Miss Arumi .., Marvado is the home of your relatives."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Agathias. I can't go there because Zefanya Lucca and Michelle Jolie are competing for selection."

"The lady won't mention the competition. I thought, Young Master wants to talk to you."

Arumi Chavez stared at Agathias Altair who could not show any look. Turning to the same Itzik Damian seemed to stiffen. Seemed to be in the decision.

"Go Narumi! I'll pick you up later before the last rehearsal." Itzik Damian.

"Let's go together." Arumi scared.

"No, I need to buy souvenirs for Aurora." Itzik Damian turned to Agathias Altair. "Tell your Young Master not to hurt him. Do the same thing, like when I was about to kill him in the hospital, then the beach house and this girl protect him."

Agathias Altair did not reply. This man understood what happened when Lucca was the bodyguard of this girl. Itzik Damian checks Arumi's phone. The two functioned well as he is now second after Lucca unseated Miss Salsa and Ethan Sanchez.

Arumi Chavez rides into the car under the sad gaze of Itzik Damian. The man leaned over the side of the car and held out two handkerchiefs. Itzik Damian was agitated but powerless to interrupt.

"Drink your! Don't be sad, hurt, let alone faint, Narumi Vincenti. Your work is not done yet"

"You seem to know something?"

"Where have years of meetings not made any sense? This girl is sometimes stupid."

"That's all?"

Itzik Damian shrugged his shoulders.

Arumi Chavez was taken to the city of Marvado. He could not describe anything that was raging within him. Close your eyes and try to calm yourself. He did not dare to look at the street where he ran barefoot.

Isn't the plan like this? Go to Marvado and visit. See him and ask? Tell him how he feels.

Explain, why is he scared?

"Have you had lunch?"

Arumi did not answer. Why would he need to be kind to Agathias who clearly did not like him?

"Absen lunch one time didn't kill me. But, you blocked me one time and killed me. I've been dead ever since."

"I'm sorry."

"May you feel it one time."

They arrive in the city, Arumi opens her eyes. Car door open. Arumi took off the sunglasses and the mask. Get down from there.

And five minutes later, he was with Aunty Nastya. Sit in the lounge. Tea served. Before them the meadow spread wide. At the end of it dove houses lined up. Track forming a jogging path. There was no one before. The apple tree is still in place but there are no more swings. Arumi looked to a point on the silhouette that was throwing pigeons at food. Stand up straight, wear dark glasses and long hair. There's Natalie by her side holding a wheelchair. How easily he was hurt. Seeprti wrote the lyrics of the song sadly and he cried since the beginning of the lyrics.

"Is he okay?" ask Arumi at last. The man walked back home. Without a wheelchair. Seen without problems.

The girl on the side might have foreseen Aunty Nastya in the man's letter to her. Much luckier than him being together for years. He put his hands in the coat pocket. Seek strength.

"It's very hard to go through." Aunty Nastya Lucca follow her gaze. "The bad things are gripping and he has trouble sleeping. Luckily, the team of doctors who handled it worked amazingly. They took the skin off the rest of the body and performed this surgery on his face to get back to normal."

And Arumi wasn't there to accompany her. How unfair for him. But everyone is so bad about this.

"I'm just an unreliable fifteen-year-old girl. The reason I'm not involved."

"Honey .., don't put me in a complicated position. Your brother ...."

"We're even a couple, Aunty. Long before cousin was known, me and him loved each other." Arumi expressed her disappointment.

"Understand that he suffered greatly, dear." Aunty Nastya came to him and stroked the back of his hand. "Darling, this is hard for everyone. I'm sorry."

Arumi could not bear Aunty Nastya.

"I'm sorry, Aunty."

"We'll have lunch and chat afterwards."

Can he? arumi asked her heart.

The man's footsteps stopped for a moment. Pandangi. Before holding Natalie when going up the stairs. Towards where they sit.

He is the answer to every nightmare. Or he's making another nightmare. His face has not changed. Miracle surgical operation. Unless it matures. Yes, 31 years old with long curly hair and a little black beard along his jaw. Signs there's no plastic in there.

"Archilles was so dependent on Nurse Natalie for his life."

And here's another answer. Arumi couldn't bear to hear the man's name being called. He was always hurt and getting worse. It only took him fifteen seconds to bleed. He had anticipated, taking pain medication before getting out of the car. Two pills at once. He will die of ov33r dose after this.

No one spoke when they looked. Then, the man started a stiff conversation. More rigid even than the beginning of their meeting.

"You here, Arumi?"

He sat across from her and Natalie was not far from them. Bring her a drink.

After seven years of Arumi's lockless doors, this question is not what he wanted to hear when he managed to find the key.

Arumi did not say just pay attention in silence. In the greenish-colored eyes of almonds, the sound changes much more mature. She was teary because she was okay.

Ignore different calls for her. Yeah, they're cousins, right? He missed the man who called her Miss Arumi. And that guy is no longer there.

Didn't want to let her guess that this man was no longer the same as her lover or Itzik Damian was right that this man's life continued. He was still locked up seven years ago.

This man is not the first love of Arumi Chavez's young girl. However, after he fell in love with his bodyguard, he turned into love dead.

"Um, yes," nods Arumi at last. "Are you okay?"

"Yes." Yeah." With all the doubt.

"I looked everywhere for you and waited for you for seven years. I never tried to forget you. Even though you may have changed now. I don't really care, I love you forever." Arumi reveals everything. He doesn't care about the rest. "I only love you until I die."

Before he forgets, he needs to tell her. The mood turned cold.

"You'll never be able to handle me, Arumi. Maybe my circumstances will hurt you more."

"I told Aunty Nastya. I'm just an unreliable fifteen-year-old girl. Seven years ago. What do I have?"

"You deserve to be angry." The man spoke slowly. "I couldn't let you stay by my side seven years ago and now. Nothing's gonna change."

"Is that so? Give me a reason! Are you going to die tomorrow?" ask Arumi sarcas. "You didn't even give me a chance."

"Are you not afraid of me?"

"Yes, you're right. I'm just too surprised. Blessed are those who find you first and have a casual expression. I envy them. Then, why now?"

"I'll probably destroy you too."

Arumi clucking. "I continue to meet with the selfishness of adults. They say it's best for you, I try to protect you, not hurt you and I finally feel the bitterness. Being left without news is far more insurmountable. If you can repeat time, move the destruction from you to me. I'll bear it for you."

"You won't force yourself, Arumi. Besides, I'll be with someone who accompanies me in my difficult times."

Arumi could feel the pain as well but would they continue this suffering?

"You didn't even give me a chance." Arumi couldn't stand it. "You lied back to Marvado and disappeared. I was waiting for you to marry me but on that day, you broke your bond. No one told me, even if everyone knew. Do you think I'll run from you? How cool is that thought! Was it the first time I liked you because of your face?"

"Miss ..., please stop screaming at her, I beg you." Nurse Natalie said softly from next door. The girl's eyes twitched and watched the man on the sofa without a blink. It is as if it detects a symptom. Maybe avoid excessive pressure.

"Alright," nodded Arumi lowering the volume of her voice. Arumi wondered why she wasn't crying? Even though he was tight in his chest until he was cold. And he cannot describe himself torn apart. "I'm sorry. Do whatever you want, sir. You can be with someone in your difficult times without leaving justice for others. I'll understand you. It's important to me that you live, healthy and happy." Arumi is far more languishing than ever. "Just, after giving me seven days with you. Just me and you without the others."

"That's impossible." Shakes without power. The man's jaw rattled behind his skin.

"Both days. After the competition ends tomorrow. I'll be right here. Consider it your redemption for causing me pain for seven years. You're not the only one suffering, sir. Two days, just me and you without anyone."

"Arumi ...."

Now he really hates his name 'Arumi'. It sounded like someone was cursing him.

Arumi looked at her despair. He has waited seven years. Breathe slowly. Swallow every bitterness in the soul.

"I'll be gone after two days and you'll never see me again."
