My Guardian Angel (The Dust of Love)
Chapter 93 . Don't Hurt Me Anymore

A thin mist descended enveloping the mansion. Clouds cover the hills. Just for a little while before turning black and dark. The backyard starts to dewy by a drizzle.

The piano instrumentals filled the silence. Arumi managed to create that beautiful tone for Archilles Lucca and had it rotate for twenty minutes. Now he has two love songs and he will be productive as long as his heart blossoms.

Arumi Chavez's gaze drifted far away. His body was wrapped in a blanket. There's a warm soy drink and some snack jar. Mrs Salsa first went to the kitchen and made her a snack. It did not taste good unless the ginger biscuits were very spicy on the tongue but managed to make him spend half. Without his wealth, Arumi thinks Salsa Diomanta can't even make an omelet. Nevertheless, he appreciated his mother's wholehearted effort. Want to suspect the intention of his mother who seemed to be seducing him for something. Or, his mother was afraid of losing him after the fateful event yesterday. Arumi stopped counting.

Immersed in the devotional. He spoke this afternoon with Leona's older brother after forcing his mother to call Leona's family. She missed Leona too. Without Archilles, Leona, the only friend to confide.

The girl had served him according to oath, not going to leave even if she had to risk her life.

His assistant is still in hospital. A gunshot wound to the thigh may make Leona difficult to walk for a long time. Arumi Chavez wants to give her support. But I haven't found a way. He finally only asked Aunty Sunny to do her best so that Leona received treatment and could recover soon.

Arumi didn't want to ask about the others. He was afraid to hear bitter things.

Just a few days apart from the Archilles, Arumi Chavez urgently spent time. He tried to restrain himself because he always wanted to see and be with the man. Maybe it's because he doesn't have any activity. Or he's on a heavy leash on his former bodyguard.

Her mother did not discuss their marriage with her until Arumi was worried. No signal detected. Though he wants you to be more sensitive to his wishes about being with Archilles. Arumi confines negative thoughts and only undergo therapy for the sake of therapy which eventually makes him even more tired.

Ring on the ring finger. The name Archilles Lucca is inscribed on the inside while the Archilles wear Arumi Chavez rings. He kissed the ring and his heart was filled with a great tremor.

"Arumi Chavez ...."

The call at the door shocked him. Arumi turned around to find Ethan Sanchez in the doorway standing hesitantly. The man was seen trying to restrain himself when their gazes met.

"Ethan?! You're here?"

Arumi stood up. At the end, do not avoid a warm hug to him a few seconds later.

"Are you okay?" ask Ethan to hold a hug. Holding breath. Blow out. Self-organizing. Kissing the top of Arumi's head. Complained. "Oh my God, this girl. I've been crazy thinking about you for two weeks. I don't know what the hell is going on. Moreover, I am very angry that I cannot do anything for you, Arumi Chavez. I feel so guilty."

"I'm doing fine. Don't worry, Ethan."

It must be difficult to be in Ethan Sanchez's position. Must work and take care of Dandia. Had Mrs Sanchez not been selfish, Ethan would not have worked so desperately. And because of Dandia, Ethan becomes dependent on the help of others. Arumi knows Ethan must be very hurt. But this great man is Ethan Sanchez. Other life fighters in this world.

"Sorry to visit, Arumi. Pinched condition. I really can't leave my sister."

"I get it, Ethan. How's Dandia doing?" Ethan Sanchez takes off the hug. Still need to check Arumi Chavez with her eyes. Decide Arumi is much thinner than the last time they met at the cafe.

"Good, Arumi. Thank you so much for your help."

"I love Dandia very much."

"Yes, we really appreciate that."

They sat next to each other on the sofa.

"Are you having trouble with food?" ethan Sanchez asked concerned.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You want to eat something? Tell me, Arumi," bargain with Ethan and get Arumi's arm straight away. "I'll cook you one or two menus."

"Thank you, Ethan. I'm doing fine. Really am. Who's guarding Dandia, Ethan?"

"My mother. We hired a painstaking nurse to take care of Dandia if we had to work."

"It must be very difficult," said Arumi concerned.

"Uhhum, but I think I see there are many people who suffer more than my family. I was just so much grateful."

Ethan Sanchez is a real adult. The girl who will be with Ethan in the future is the lucky girl because this man will take full responsibility for you. However, the girl must be able to meet the standards of her mother. Arumi thought, Mrs Sanchez is not overdoing it. And understand Mrs Sanchez's noble wish for Ethan.

"Is something bothering you?" ask Ethan.

"You're better, Ethan."

"Did my good looks diminish? That's more worrying."

Arumi smiled faintly. In just two minutes Arumi Chavez was back to daydreaming towards the basketball court. Floating and now occupying the basketball court. He heard shoes rubbing. He saw himself hugging Archilles Lucca with all his might so as not to be able to score.

What's that guy doing now?

Oh, shit, I miss him even more. Arumi grunts.

"Can I help you, Arumi?" ethan asks, and Arumi Chavez follows him to a basketball court. Find the place only faintly by the thin clouds. The runway is wet and sparkling with rain.

"No, Ethan." Arumi shakes. "What about your university, Ethan?"

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Then, the next is silence because Arumi is more interested in the backyard as if someone is staring from below and they speak in the language of the heart. Ethan Sanchez darkens because he knows who Arumi Chavez is imagining.

One time this girl was hers and they were kissing here, behind the economics books. Just a moment after Arumi fell on the basketball court and Archilles Lucca held Arumi. He was jealous of Archilles for the first time. Now, it seems like their memory is the same about that day, the difference is that Arumi Chavez is not reminiscing about it but is probably thinking of Archilles Lucca.

There's nothing Ethan Sanchez can do but respect his own decisions. Even if in the past his mother approved of him, Ethan might not be able to defend Arumi because of his great responsibility to Dandia and Gabriel.

Nah!

If only his mother had approved .., everything would have gone perfectly. He can date Arumi while taking care of his younger siblings. He was going to university and they split up five years, enjoying a working period five years ago getting married just when Arumi was 25.

What a beautiful wish.

Let's forget!

Arumi was quite hurt at their separation. Same thing with her. Not wanting to travel anywhere, Arumi with Archilles Lucca, Ethan Sanchez will be happy for them. Easily shaky. Why is a girl so much more attractive after belonging to someone else?

Can we talk about just one memory, one more time about them before their story blows in the wind and passes?

"Miss Arumi ...." Ayshe stood in the doorway that opened slightly agitated. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Mrs Salsa asked you and Mr. Ethan to join the basement."

"Is there something?" asked Arumi lazily.

"Yes, Miss. Mrs Andreia Sanchez is visiting with someone."

"Someone?"

"Everyone is waiting for you." Ayshe added caution as if the word that came out could make his face split for ten.

"Ayshe?"

"Miss ..., I was just asked Mrs Salsa to call you."

"You didn't come with your mom, Ethan?" Arumi turned to the man who was frowning next to her for some time.

Ethan Sanchez shows he's uncomfortable with something. Look at Ayshe. As if getting an answer. The man was breathing air from around. Even though he stays cool, Arumi can catch Ethan Sanchez covering something up.

"Arumi .., this ..., may be difficult for you." The man finally spoke.

"Is there a problem?"

"Yes, I think this is going to be a problem for both of us."

"Are we ..., em ..., you may." Disconnected. "Your mom and dad want us back together?" arumi Chavez asked Ethan Sanchez. Nada is not happy Arumi hurt Ethan very deeply.

"No," Ethan's whirring fast. "Not about that. You know, I've been committed to my future and sacrificed my feelings for you in the past. Nothing can make me waste all that pain."

"Then, what is this about? I don't expect any new drama and I want to be alone and heal myself."

Arumi is quite tired of following therapy. It's a weekend, there's no mood for the day. He just wanted to see Archilles Lucca. Unfortunately, the man will not be seen until two days before their wedding. Arumi had been flipping through a cell phone this morning, wanting to call Archilles, but was afraid that he might even seduce Archilles Lucca to come.

"I'm sorry, Arumi Chavez. I will follow your attitude and support you."

"What's this about, Ethan?"

"I'm not sure. But, let's look down, Arumi."

Go to the living room. Arumi is flabbergasted to find not only Mrs Sanchez there but her Father, Mr James Chavez.

His mother sat with a complicated look. Sort of being watching a movie from a comedy scene but "not funny to laugh at". Or please laugh as much as you can, but do not blame who if you end up looking funnier than you watch.

While the Salsa Diomanta gesture is memorable, don't try to bully me, intimidate me or you'll know the consequences. Obviously this is aimed at Mr. James Chavez.

From the looks of the situation, this was not the first meeting of his parents after all this time. More ..., Arumi would not have expected that his father came with Mrs Sanchez. The two sat side by side and occasionally shared a glance. Do you know the concept of this model? Of the tens of millions of people in this country, don't tell me that his father is stuck in the mother of his ex-girlfriend.

*No way.

What about my mom*?
