Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 105

Things get complicated with Rena and Ben coming back. Echa locked herself in a room all day. He still can't believe what happened yesterday on Rega and Sena's wedding day.

Everything feels so heavy, especially when you know that Arfian is not his real father. During this time he felt most fortunate to have a father and mother as good as Rachel and Arfian.

But the harsh reality is approaching him. It turns out that his father and biological mother are women and men who often appear in his dreams as bad people.

"we'd better let it go. He needs time to accept everything." Rachel asks Rena not to see Echa first before the boy feels better.

As a mother, of course Rachel was worried about what Echa would experience.

Rena smiled understandingly, she would not force Echa to come with her. She just wanted her little girl to acknowledge herself as a mother and call her mommy just once. So with Ben, the man won't force his will.

Arfian and Rachel immediately stood up when they saw a young man walking up to them who were chatting on the balcony.

Somehow they felt so familiar but forgot where to meet.

"ohs... Leon, are you home? come here." Rena invited Leon to join.

Arfian opened his eyes in disbelief and so did Rachel.

"you..Leon?" Tell both at the same time.

Leon was just silent, his flat expression as well as his sharp gaze made both Arfian and Rachel frown in wonder. If it was Leon, why was this young man so cold and stiff unlike the Leon they knew.

"hello.dadd..." Leon almost called Arfian Daddy, "om Arfian and Aunt Rachel."

Rachel smiled faintly, not expecting to see back the figure of the little boy. Leon is growing well. They almost didn't recognize him.

The three people who used to be so close even almost like family seemed awkward. Rachel and Arfian are confused about which way to say, about Hanum or directly ask how Leon's life has been.

Leon who felt that the two adults seemed confused immediately made small talk asking about Echa.

"what about Echa?" Ask.

He still doesn't know if Rena and Ben are Echa's parents. I don't know what he would do if he knew the truth.

"your brother is a little less kind. would you like to see him? maybe he'll be so happy all this time he's been waiting for you." Rahel.

Leon quiet. He had already seen Echa but to introduce himself directly he felt he was not ready. Leon still hesitates to even feel that what Rachel said was not true.

He felt that Echa had forgotten him. It was evident that when he first met, the girl did not recognize him at all. Though Leon felt that he did not change much from when he was a child.

...********************...

Echa came out of her room. The house looks empty. Sighs deeply as soon as you see the message stuck on the refrigerator door. Habits of Rachel that never before. The woman never sends a message through wa, she will write on a small note and paste it.

The girl really wanted to cry. The kindness of Rachel who he always considered as the best mommy was apparently not his biological mommy.

Why he does not remember his childhood to forget who his birth parents are.

Feeling that Rachel and Arfian will definitely ask her to go with Rena and Ben. Although they now know they are her parents, Echa still does not want to leave Rachel.

"honey.." Rada stroking Echa's hair.

Echa suffocated, hugging Rada directly. The middle-aged woman had just arrived and was suguhi her granddaughter who was daydreaming in the kitchen.

"what's up? your mommy sent a message to Grandma, saying you were home alone."

Echa let go of her embrace.

"mommy Rachel?"

Rada nodded. Echa smiled, Rachel still cares about him.

"grandma, do I have to get out of here?"

Rada frowned at Echa's question.

"what do you mean?" He asked, "come sit down."

Echa sat down and received a glass of chocolate milk from Rada. His fingers were playing around on the table while keeping his glass. He wasn't thirsty one bit.

"mommy and daddy will definitely ask me to...."

"you think your parents will give you custody, don't you?" Sela Rada knows exactly what Echa thinks.

Echa nodded.

"my parents are back, that means...."

"they're not that bad after all, your parents just want to meet you and tell you the truth. They're not coming back to take you away." Obviously Rada.

Rena had told him that he had not come back to take happiness from anyone, let alone from his own daughter.

He will not force Echa to come with him nor will Rachel, he will keep Echa and will not force the girl to choose who she lives with.

They care so much about how Echa feels.

"so... mommy and Daddy will still be my parents even though my biological parents are back?"

"yes baby, they want the best for you, so.." Rada stroked Echa's hair. "grandmother please, meet your mommy and Daddy. They'd love to hear you call them that. Echa, right?" Persuak Rada's.

Echa thought for a while and then nodded.
