My Guardian Angel (The Dust of Love)
Chaptre 54. Dreams dare to Dream
Oh, why so sleepy?! A lot of sleep is good for the brain, can think more clearly.
Let's sleep! Forget everything! Wake up later everything will be fine. Drowning in the dark sea.
"Arumi, dear. This is your house from now on."
How old is it? It's still very small. The handsome man towering by his side was his beloved father, Mr. James Chavez. Very-very handsome.
"We're gonna stay here?" His eyes are shining brightly. This house is very large, very, very spacious with beautiful statues in the garden and large lights. Many guards. Is she the daughter of a king?
"Yes, you'll stay here."
"Who's with you, Daddy?"
"Mommy was your grandparents too."
Then, he saw the old grandfather and grandmother meeting him as if he were a lost child.
"Arumi .., I'm your grandfather! Oh, heir! I'll give you my entire fortune without any leftover to my granddaughter."
"What about you, Dad?"
"I'll keep you company, honey."
Arumi Chavez Diomanta is thrilled to be the only girl. His attitude turned spoiled, crybaby especially the overflow of very thick affection encompassed him. He never learned right and wrong. Everything he does is right and everyone must obey him.
Misguided and perverted teaching. His father said goodbye one time, he said he would work abroad. Just don't understand why his dad needs to work, and James Chavez is the boss of a big company and they're so rich?
However, since James Chavez danced with him on the floor in their mansion and kissed his forehead long ago, Arumi then never saw his father again until now.
Sometimes he misses James Chavez but he has too much affection. He quickly forgot his father. He was with James Chavez since childhood and Salsa only he saw as an icon in the house of James Chavez. He remembered a little, not sure or it was just a dream. He wanted to ask but Salsa didn't like to have a lot of questions.
Now he wants his father back. James Chavez would love to have two daughters.

"Archilles Lucca?!"
"Yes, Miss Arumi."
"Did you see that man, Archilles?" Pointing forward at a handsome man with reddish, tall, well-built and charismatic hair.
"Yes, Miss."
"His name is Ethan Sanchez and he was my bodyguard before you. At school, we'll follow him and tell him where the house is. Don't ask too many questions and you may report to my Sister-in-law that I told you to find out about someone's house called Ethan Sanchez."
"Well, Miss!"
"I'm leaving, see you Archilles. Have a nice day." Arumi hurriedly got out of the car, leaving Archilles Lucca.
Ethan Sanchez walked in the gate, as usual Arumi tailed behind without wanting to interrupt. Rumors spread that Ethan and Arumi are dating Arumi Chavez flowery. No one dared to disturb him, not at this moment. Maybe later. Ethan Sanchez has a lot of hardline fans. Arumi knew they were secretly watching her. Foolish, as long as Marya and Reinha are with her Arumi feels above the clouds.
Arumi thinks he's gonna tell Ethan Sanchez's house. What if he pretended to be a sales promotion girl who offered beauty products to Ethan's mother?
That's a good idea in his head. Or is he pretending to be a milkman? What is good?
What does Ethan Sanchez's mother look like? Must be very pretty. Her son is this handsome. What did Mrs Sanchez respond to when she saw him?
I'm also very pretty, it's fitting to be paired with Ethan Sanchez even though I'm stupid.
Sssttt ..., let's skip that last part! We're trying hard.
BUGS!!!
A daydreaming preoccupation, Arumi does not realize that Ethan Sanchez suddenly stops stepping and turns to wait for him. It's inevitable Arumi hits Ethan hard.
"Aren't you tired of thinking about me, Arumi Chavez?"
Arumi who was caught immediately went faster to pass Ethan Sanchez. He was caught dumbstruck on the school street because he thought about Ethan. Ethan's hand immediately stuck out when Arumi was nearby, holding Arumi's bag so strong that he could not go further. Arumi.
"Conflicts always arise, and the strong always try to improve their position and maintain their dominance." Arumi Chavez pretends to memorize the rest of the material until Ethan is wrinkled. Surprisingly, he suddenly went well.
"Marxism Theory?" ask Ethan. "You have a test?" Remove Arumi and scramble Arumi's hair into a mess.
"Yes, but more than that, I think Karl Max wrote this theory for people like you." Arumi sneers.
"Well, Arumi, you're amazing. You use economic theory to insinuate me? Your brain is starting to walk. Is it because of my love, you're getting smarter?" ask Ethan without letting go of the handle.
"Maybe."
"You haven't broken up with Moses?"
"We're not dating anymore. The man was busy touring around the world for the latest song. Besides, I dated another guy to get your attention."
"Arumi, I don't want to date. Forget me and seriously learn! Tell you what, when you rank one for Social Sciences, I'll date you."
Arumi's eyeballs are rounded. "really?" asked Arumi happily, "I'll try!"
Ethan shrugged, trying to believe. Arumi will probably get 100 marks for the test but only that, Arumi won't make it to rank 1 unless the geniuses at level 1 in the shuffle and Arumi's class only contain girls with the same brain volume as Arumi.
They stepped together into the school corridor. Arumi doesn't like parting ways because Ethan has been very difficult to approach lately. As if understanding, Ethan leads Arumi to sit in the classroom while his classmates are unable to hide their envy. Ignore the crowded class, Ethan observes Arumi.
"I'll give you flowers when your test score is 100" Ethan said bowing in front of him.
"Emm, I think I want to have dinner at your house" replied Arumi.
"That's not going to happen, Arumi! You can't come to my house! Well, just study and spirit!"
Ethan leaves after ruffling his hair.
***
Arumi moved, she woke up. His eyes opened a little and he fell asleep again.
"So, why doesn't your mom like me?" ask Archilles Lucca. When this man came first, Arumi did not like his appearance. Oh My God, like a villain. His hair was long, his beard was as well and his eyes were a little wild. Oh I don't know what Elgio Durante and Aruhi saw from this guy. Complain Arumi.
No No No. Let's change him. Arumi Chavez drags Archilles to the best haircut and although this man refuses, his hair is trimmed one-sided missing the gondrong section. Face smoothed. This guy's remaked, in a makeover. And look now! If he doesn't remember Ethan Sanchez, Arumi will fall in love with Archilles Lucca.
He's very very handsome.
"You don't know?"
"Yes, even though I know, I can't just guess."
They are in the kitchen after the wedding of Mr. Abner Luiz and his girlfriend, Maribella. The story of the bodyguard who ran away with the employer's child is quite a lot. The story of Salsa Diomanta and Benn Amarante is one of the most frequently told stories.
"You made my mother think of Benn's father, Aruhi's father - my brother. My mother was my age and she fell in love with her bodyguard."
"Then?!" ask Archilles Lucca very mature.
Arumi kept eating. Archilles made two spaghetti dishes. Archilles Lucca squeezed his glass strongly, drank a sip then grabbed a tissue and thrust it at Arumi.
"Benn's father was brave enough to take my mother and you know, finally, my grandfather hunted them. Benn's father later died in an accident by my grandfather. My mother was separated from her son."
"Then?! What does this have to do with me?" Archilles grabbed the tissue and helped him rub the stain on the corner of the lip. Arumi dodged, afraid of being touched by Archilles. Earlier, Archilles accidentally touched it and it bristled. Arumi hastily snatched the tissue and cleaned it herself.
"Mother was afraid the events of her and Father Benn were repeated again. Mom was worried we had a relationship and I ran away with you" said Arumi, eating the last mouthful, cleaning her lips again, drinking water and turning to Archilles. "That kind of thing!" added again.
Archilles pushed the plate had been empty, frowned and stared at him sharply. Almond eyes are graded greenish, clear very beautiful. Arumi had involuntarily shivered.
"Are you going to run away with me if I take you, Miss?" ask Archilles.
The Archilles question made Arumi choke on his own saliva. Quickly coughing loudly. Archilles shoved a glass of water, gently hitting his shoulders. Grab some tissue and give it to her.
"Flooded with you? You want your neck to get me scissors, Archilles?" arumi asked glaring at her bodyguard.
"Therefore, there is no need to worry about that, Miss! Until a few months ago, I was just a criminal. I have no possessions and no position, I just come to work, earn money for a better life."
"Yes, I believe you" nods Arumi. "Just this is my mother!"
"Just Miss .., tell me if one day ...you might like me" said Archilles.
"I wouldn't do that! Don't worry" Arumi sounded unconvinced. "I'll probably like you to be my bodyguard, no more Master!" Immediately sure.
"I believe in you."
"Instead, what if you liked me one time? No body knows what the future holds, Archilles Lucca."
Archilles took a deep breath.
"If one day I find myself falling in love with you ... I'm gonna disappear quietly."
***
"Arumi Chavez, I love you. There's no other girl that makes me crazy when I fall in love with you."
From the beginning his love for Ethan Sanchez was strong, passionate and burning. He's crazy about Ethan Sanchez so much like a stalker girl.
"That's not love, Arumi!"
Heart talk.
"You just love the idea of being Ethan Sanchez's girlfriend for sure you feel like you'd be really cool."
"I love Ethan. My heart aches when he's with another girl. I'm jealous. How can you say falling in love with Ethan is cool. No sense!"
"Nature makes your conscious keep wanting Ethan Sanchez. The universe agrees with that. Now, the farewell has happened. Being stuck on Ethan Sanchez will make you worse off. Ethan Sanchez has made his choice. He has returned to the establishment, only pursuing ideals. You better be too."
Arumi Chavez hovers somewhere. It was as if he was thrown into the field. Jumping on the horse's back. Mrs Sanchez's words were not rude but the mother's attitude of her lover hurt her deeply and killed her spirit.
He drove the Vein, jumped over the guardrail and drove fast.
"Archilles, is ..., stupid a disgrace? I make a lot of money and am financially independent."
"Why did you turn weird?"
"If Mrs Sanchez doesn't like me. I can't go to the kitchen, play scissors and knives and chop onions, cook something to impress others."
"Alright, calm yourself! Let's just cook for our lunch." Archilles Lucca hugged him and comforted him.
They finally sat facing the majesty of the Atlantic ocean. The food was fully served an hour past lunch hour.
Lemon tarts are still in the oven, the fragrance is flying everywhere. Archilles scoops the rice onto a plate and serves a plate full of seafood.
"The fight's good, huh? You stir very well."
"Miss, I said it sincerely. All right, I'll lock my lips. Can't you pout in front of the dish? We will eat and enjoy it with gratitude."
Arumi Chavez could feel the breath of Archilles on his shoulder as the man carried him back to the mansion riding on the Aorta.
"Miss ..., I'm in love with you!"
Arumi remained silent. Not once did he hear the man say the same thing. Arumi had heard it many times. At night, at bedtime when their eyes meet. They laugh even when they are hurt. He always heard the Archilles say I love you, to the point that he thought he had gone mad and ignored Archilles Lucca completely.
"I love you! I love you!" Then his heart heard that beautiful word.
"You love but you run away easily and run, Archilles?!"
"Because your feelings aren't clear to whom?" Archilles complained.
"Well, I'll open my eyes Archilles Lucca. If I see you for the first time, I'll convince my heart, mind, soul and body to put you in a special place with no rivals."
"Even Ethan Sanchez?"
"Yes, even Ethan Sanchez. Oh we're over."
"You still love him!"
"There's nothing I can do but let it all pass!"
New to the first grade of High School, Arumi Chavez has a complicated love story with her senior and bodyguard.
Arumi's consciousness recovered little by little. Prepare to open your eyes. Pupils moving. His eyes were a little hard to open as if something was gripping him not to get up.
"Arumi ...."
"Miss Arumi ...."
Oh no! I heard Ethan Sanchez's voice as well as Archilles Lucca's. I better keep sleeping!
Or put it this way, the first man I saw must have been the man I loved. The man who came after me was the man who loved me. Hows it?
Oh, Arumi Chavez how random your behavior is!
Forget about men, God. You're still a kid! Has the fruit on your chest grown perfectly?
That's the slobiest question I've ever heard?
Haven't you?
Yes yes yes.
Forget about men!
All righty! I'll try.
Thrown into a pitch-black room, there was a strange hairy thing. Arumi Chavez screaming. Tight chest.
"Archilles? Where am I?"
Who locked me in the vault? Miller Fernanda? Evelyn Jhoel's? If they're both right, I swear by whatever I'll make the calculations.
Arumi broke down the closet door, running out. He saw Fernanda Miller.
"I marked your shoes, bad girl! Come here you two!"
Arumi Chavez kicked Fernanda into flying free from the first-floor corridor. Fernanda got stuck in the red trees. Breath hunting. Evelyn beat him with something. Arumi falls, she is dragged into the vault and locked back into the darkness.
"Help me! Toooolongggggggg me!!!"
"Miss Arumi? Can you hear my voice?"
Another unknown person asked subtly. Shoulders touched.
"Move your fingers if you can hear me!"
Arumi's eyes opened, there were many light attacks hitting right on his eyeballs.
"Oh my dear, Arumi?" Happy voice of Salsa Diomanta.
Arumi managed to open her eyes, she did not want to go back into the dark vault again. His mother on the right side and the tail of the eyes swept over the two silhouettes the man on the left side looking at him equally restless. The more clearly he saw, the shadows of the two men turned into three. Ethan Sanchez is never alone, there are always dolls.
"Oh, thank goodness Miss Arumi you are finally awake. We're so worried about you!" Sarah Jessica smiled gently at him. A very sincere look gives Arumi the idea that the girl loves Ethan Sanchez. Arumi knew, he sure was sure.
Be happy somewhere! Get out of front of me! Pleases. Don't hurt my heart!
"Arumi ..., don't think of anything!" Ethan Sanchez's attentive voice. "rest. Everything's gonna be fine. I'll come visit you later!" The man rubbed his forehead. The universal affection that ended up being just that was left between them. Thought Arumi.
Nah!
There's still flavor. Arumi sure saw something else clearly reflected by Ethan Sanchez's touch. Ethan Sanchez was also injured. The man's eyes could not lie, especially when his hands were in the grasp of the Archilles. They have wedding rings in their sweet fingers.
Ethan Sanchez is jealous, disappointed but doesn't want to go any further. This man is full of totality. When falling in love with him Ethan does not bear to show all the emotions. However, when deciding everything was over, this man was consequent on his words.
Then, why should Arumi continue to maintain his own taste and suffer? For the first time, Arumi used logic. Let's stop. Putting aside anything else, he would only restore consciousness.
Focusing on the moment, he is left alone with his mother and Archilles Lucca.
"You can rest, madam! I'll take care of Miss Arumi."
Arumi Chavez heard the heavy voice of her bodyguards attentively. Salsa Diomanta near Arumi. "Alright Archilles. I'll leave you both."
Salsa Diomanta kissed Arumi's forehead, caressing a face as smooth as loving velvet.
"I'll be right back, honey. You'll be with Archilles until later."
Salsa Diomanta passed, sliding the door and then the footsteps disappeared.
"I'm sorry! If I hadn't left this morning!"
"I'm afraid of the lab room" complained Arumi.
"You'll be fine. They'll be arrested and thrown in jail."
"I'm so sorry for us."
"Yes, Miss."
"I was very sleepy but too scared to sleep. I kept looking at that weird closet. Oh God. I don't want to go back to school."
"I'm looking after you. Don't think of anything."
"Don't go!"
"Yes" nodded Archilles.
By nightfall, the Archilles simply bent over the bed and looked after Miss Arumi. The girl had nightmares again and again. Constantly groaning and even screaming. Anyone held captive in a dark and cramped closet will be psychologically disturbed.
The Archilles can only kiss the forehead to calm and pray. He never prayed seriously. Since falling in love with Arumi Chavez, she has suddenly become religious. His only desire is two, Arumi Chavez and Zefanya Lucca are happy. That's all it is. He doesn't need money, he doesn't need property or status. He just wants the two people he loves the most to be happy.
Miss Arumi opened her eyes, smiling at him.
"Aren't you sore?"
"No. I'm used to this."
They don't talk to each other next. Just sharing a look. This may be the strangest dating declaration because Arumi's forehead is constantly rubbed. His eyebrows were combed intensely using his thumbs and the man just stared at him deeply as if he could do the same thing for an entire century.
"What do you feel?" archilles asked after long hours Arumi returned from sleep. More calm and relaxed.
"You love me!" sahut Arumi's.
"Yes, thank goodness it gets to you. Are you feeling better, now?" ask Archilles again.
"Yes. I'm improving."
"Life is precious, Miss. May you always be enlightened and may the spirit encourage you to use your days wisely."
"I'll remember your message."
Archilles nodded small. Smilingly. Everything feels perfect. Everything looks fine. It'll be better later. Both of them can see the finish line. But it's just a mirage. There is always an obstacle. The test of love is another cruel test of life. Hope soon faded, gray before evaporating. Sometimes it can never happen at this time.
Salsa Diomanta is back.
"Aren't you satisfied enough to see my daughter, Archilles?" ask Salsa Diomanta quietly. "Arumi is awake now. Our girl will be fine. I'll take great care of her from now on."
Archilles Lucca wet lips dry. Brushing Arumi's eyebrows. Given the taste on the tip of the skin, keep everything.
"Isn't it time to go?"
"Mom, please!" persuade Arumi Chavez to glaze over, shaking his head at the Archilles.
"Alright, Mistress! Thank you for giving me a chance."
"Sure," salsa nodded understandingly. "Pack up and leave us!"
Arumi Chavez close your eyes. Two angles break clear grains reflex flow down. The neck can't be moved because it's wearing a cast or something.
"Miss ..., you'll get well soon. Everything's gonna be okay." He heard the voice of Archilles saying softly.
Arumi stretched out a hand very quickly pulled the side of the Archilles Lucca pants, holding back the use of the remaining energy that is easily drained.
"Don't leave now! Please! You say tomorrow?"
The answer is only Arumi's hand held tightly, admired. Archilles smile. This is the last time Arumi will see. Maybe for a long time. Arumi doesn't know.
"Take care of yourself, Miss Arumi!"
The man walked away, walked away. The door closed behind him. Spy Arumi Chavez follow the Archilles. He cried sobbing as Archilles Lucca disappeared.
You will understand eventually, a person will be very valuable when he is no longer by your side. You will understand that your feelings may have been mistaken, that the one you love is the one you most want to stay by your side. Not just as a man, but as a lover.

Fainting \= flashback, it looks like this is my style when trying to avoid. Sometimes afraid, not nyampe it to the reader because I like to be confused afterwards, oh what is the thing? I like not understanding my own mind.
