Arumi sat on the edge of the bed accompanying her half-drunk husband.
"I love you so much Viona. You're always here." Mr. Haris pointed at his chest and head.
"Vi, don't leave me again!" Tone of Mr. Haris' voice begging.
"I'm not Viona. I'm Arumi." Answer Arumi.
"Vio...." Call Mr. Haris lirih.
"Why do you always leave me, why never give me a chance? Why...?!" Mr. Haris' voice grew quieter and he began to fall asleep.
Arumi looked around Mr. Haris' room, curious. Arumi slowly let go of Tuang Haris' grasp, then moved down from the bed. He looked at a large picture in the room. Family photo, Mr. Haris, Emma, and Leon who look younger.
There wasn't much furniture in the room. Just a big bed, a television, a dresser for his late wife, and a small table.
Arumi opened a room in the room. The room is not as spacious as the bedroom, containing the clothes of Mr. Haris and his late wife, various bags and shoes, and accessories trinkets owned by his wife.
Ties and belts belonging to Mr. Haris are also neatly arranged there. Arumi stared at a closet containing dancing shoes and gear. Arumi opened the shoe rack, and took out a ballerina shoe from there. He was sitting on a bench near the shelf. Trying wearing. It's 38, exactly the size of his legs. He tried to use the shoes, move, spin, and jump in the room.
Arumi looked at herself at the mirror in the corner of the room.
"If you love Viona, why marry Emma?" Arumi Mumbled.
Arumi glanced at her watch, it was already two in the morning. He took off the shoes and put them back on the shelf. Rushed out of the closet's walk-in room.
Arumi turned to bed Mr. Haris had fallen asleep. He opened the door and left the room. He heaved a sigh of relief after being outside Mr. Haris' room.
Once again he stared at the photo on display near Mr. Haris's workroom, a photo of Mr. Haris and his wife. Look back at Mama Leon full of sympathy.
Arumi climbed the stairs to her room. Leon pushes through the door of his room and enters Arumi's room.
"Leon, you surprised me!" Arumi was surprised.
"With clothes like this, it's appropriate that my papa lock you up after the party." She said cynically while looking at Arumi from head to toe.
"I'm just accompanying your dad. He was drunk, so I helped him for a minute."
"Awhile..?!" Ask.
Arumi frowned not understanding.
"You've been home since eleven, and you just got out of there at two. That long, huh..?" Leon snorted in annoyance.
Arumi giggled amusedly. He realized that, Leon was jealous.
"You're jealous of me?" Ask Arumi while glancing spoiled. He approached Leon.
Leon still has a pouty face.
"You jealous?" Arumi's birthday is spoiled on Leon.
Leon glanced towards Arumi.
"How can I not be jealous? Every time you go home, your party is drawn in. You always do that!"
"Eitherway. Your father is busy with his work, plus you're going abroad." Look Arumi.
"God.... Tomorrow's Thomas's scheduled arrival. I haven't checked my schedule to pick her up!" Arumi patted her forehead, cursing her lupa.
"What time is the schedule?" Ask Leon.
"See, I checked the message Thomas sent." Arumi opens her phone, looking for the flight schedule that Thomas sent.
Leon picks up Arumi's phone, then he puts it on the nightstand. Holding her stepmother's hips without hesitation, then one hand traced Arumi's face.
Arumi could only swallow her own saliva. Actually this is not the first time Leon did, but somehow this time is a bit different.
Their lips intertwined, and now they were on Arumi's bed.
***
Arumi opened her eyes slowly. He slowly opened his eyes. His hand looked for the figure beside him, but Leon had already left him. Arumi squirms stretching her body. Then get out of his bed.
Arumi checks the schedule of the day, the activity starts from ten o'clock, to take care of Leon's school application letter. Then meet after lunch. Thomas's arrival schedule afternoon. While Arumi has a class schedule for art performances. Arumi stared at her phone.
Ting....
"Yes, Gisel! I'll have him pick up Thomas at the airport." Arumi Mumbled.
He then immediately took a shower and prepared to take care of Leon's school affairs.
After taking a shower, he went down to the backyard, where Gisel was swimming with Bela and Andin.
"Hi Rumi..!" Sapa Andin and Bela.
"Hi too. Enjoy your holidays." Reply Arumi, because they have completed the graduation exam.
"How's your brother, Ndin?" Ask Arumi.
"He's getting better. Thank you for helping me yesterday. Thank you for your teaching that night. Looks like Madam Fey's planning on including some of her girls for your dance class." Sahut Andin's.
Arumi laughed in response.
"Yes, Gisel, I'll ask you to come get Thomas. Because I have a class schedule today. I forgot to clear the schedule. This class is for art." Pinta Arumi on Gisel.
"All right."
"You can ask my driver to drive." Arumi.
Gisel understood.
***
Gisel was ready to pick up his sister. He has permission from Adam. Gisel carried his small backpack. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, combined with sneakers. Simple casual dressings, but comfortable according to him.
Will approached her after finishing his duties with Mr. Haris that day.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to pick up my brother."
"He's coming home today?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Want me to drive? I happen to be finished. And it looks like Mr. Haris doesn't need me anymore." Will offered himself.
"Really?"
"I didn't offer you twice. If you want, let's go immediately." Take Will.
Gisel smiled happily, then followed Will's steps towards his car.
They immediately left Mr. Haris' residence to pick up Thomas.
"I'm so happy that Thomas is back. I haven't talked to him in a long time." Cerocos Gisel's.
"From a long time ago, Thomas was closer to Arumi. I was often jealous of him. But after thinking about it, why am I jealous. We're brothers, and now we've lost our parents. Sometimes I feel ashamed of Arumi." Gisel continued while looking at Will.
Will just glanced at me.
"Yes. You don't need to be hostile. Mr. Haris has been kind enough to accept that you and your brother stay in his house." Will Sahut.
"Yes. It was also thanks to a request from Arumi." Gisel.
He scrunched his forehead when he saw Andra's car on the side of the road.
"Will.it looks like Andra's car." Gisel pointed to a car that stopped.
Will stops the car and they immediately go down towards Andra's car. But the car was empty. And it looks like the bumper behind the dent was hit.
"Will, look! It's Andra!" Pekik Gisel pointed towards the roadside.
