Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 13

Arfian took a deep breath. His encounter with Rena really got him in lema. On the other hand he still has heart in his ex-wife but if he has to go back to accept it it feels very heavy. Rena's actions have incised such a deep wound in her heart.

Not only the affair he did but also lied to himself about Echa. Maybe when she was honest that she had been stained was not a girl anymore Arfian accepted it easily at that time, because he thought Rena was just a weak woman who needed a backrest. But, for this mistake there is no more tolerance.

"what's wrong?" Rega sat down beside Arfian.

Arfian's disheveled face made him worry. Rega glanced at his watch, it was almost midnight.

"it's too late. Arfian didn't sleep?"Ask again.

Again Arfian just shook his head.Helaan breath so heavy indicates if he is having a severe problem.

Rega gave up, and decided to go back into his room.

"Rome..." Arfian Mumbles.

He really can't think clearly. Beautiful memories with Rena continue to spin in her head but all that disappears when Ben's shadow appears and pulls Rena away.

Arfian ruffled his hair in frustration. Everything feels heavy. Forgetting and hating someone you love is hard.

"sir Arfian." Sena frowned as soon as she was going to go into the kitchen to fetch water seeing Arfian sitting alone in the living room.

He put down his glass and walked over to Arfian.

"So, you're not sleeping?" Ask.

Arfian looked up then smiled faintly.

"you yourself?"

Sena smiled, "i woke up thirsty."

"can you hang out with me for a second?" Arfian Pinta.

Sena seemed to think but then nodded. Sitting in front of him while continuing to pay attention to Arfian who looks not okay.

"i just wanted to ask you." Arfian said, "if someone betrays us, should we forgive him?"

Sena bit her lip. He doesn't know the answer either. Maybe if he chose to forget it but what if that person was Rega, would he be able to do it. The proof until now he still likes it even though Rega is always cold to him.

Seeing Sena who was silent made Arfian chuckle softly.

"don't think about it, I'm just asking." His word.

Sena scrunched her forehead.

"you said hausan, go it's been very night." Arfian.

Sena hesitated to leave Arfian alone. His heart said that he should accompany Arfian, comforting him so as not to look sad anymore.

"uumm.if you want, I'll hear it." Sena Say.

"heard?" Arfian looked at Sena who was looking at him seriously. "aah.hahaha..you want to hear my curses?" Guess Arfian.

Sena nodded. He felt sorry for Arfian. A man as good as himself should get this kind of betrayal. Arfian is also very understanding. He who had only known Arfian for a few days could already feel the kindness of this man.

Arfian smiled, it might not hurt if he said his heart to Sena. Who knows if his feelings will be better later.

"haaaahh...." Breathe out before telling a story.

Arfian said all his heart to Sena. For some reason, I had just gotten to know her but Arfian felt a lot of trust in this woman. Even she feels that Sena is a woman she can count on to look after Echa.

Sena listened carefully. She felt that Rena was the dumbest woman she had ever known. It's so easy to leave a man as good as Arfian.

"was Ben his friend first?" Ask Sena.

"no, she's her ex-boyfriend."

Sena was surprised, so Rena chose to return with her former lover before in defense of her husband. The man who has lived with him from zero to now can be so successful.

"but. does sister Rena not care about Echa? he's still very small.you should be able to keep him, right?"

Living together for 4 more years meant nothing to him. Even Arfian as if only a grip when he will fall and at the time was able to stand and walk Arfian no longer needed by him.

Rena is too cruel to be a married woman.

Arfian cupped his face with both hands. It felt like the tears could no longer be contained as the pain deepened. No matter if he was a man, right now he just wanted to spill everything.

Sena looked at Arfian. His trembling shoulders made Sena unable to just stay still. He moved from his seat.

"sir Arfian, are you okay?" Ask worried.

Arfian.

"everything was heavy as time went on. I was tormented by memories I couldn't forget." His word.

Sena touched Arfian's shoulder, stroking it slowly as a sign of empathy. Arfian, who was in a state of turmoil, touched Sena's hand. They looked at each other with their hands touching.

At the end of the stairs, Rega fell silent with his jaw hardened. He was about to see Arfian back because he could not sleep thinking about his brother-in-law. But, the scene that was so hard-slapping his heart happened before him.

His hands clenched, he felt angry but also had no right to it. Sena's nobody, they're just friends. It is not appropriate that he feels jealous or annoyed to see him close to other men.

After being able to control himself, Rega continued his steps.

"ck.are you guys trying to dive into each other's feelings." Insinuations.

Arfian and Sena also released the link of her hand. Arfian cleared his throat slowly to relieve the awkwardness, while Sena hurriedly stood up and made room for Rega to be able to sit beside Arfian.

"you misunderstood us.."

"whatever you do, do I care?" Sela Rega fast. Sena was silent.

Arfian sighed. He shook his head looking at Rega's behavior.

"don't believe what you see, but trust your heart and look for proof." Arfian said, "blind jealousy is not good."

Rega was about to protest what Arfian said but failed because Sena had interrupted first.

"i'll go back to the room." Sena left sadly. Eyes glazed.

Rega's words always made her heart ache. Rega noticed Sena's back disappearing behind the door. Looking at his own face made Rega feel guilty for no reason.

Arfian patted Rega's shoulder.

"you know, a woman is not easy to guess.don't make her turn to another man." Arfian reminded.

Rega looked at Arfian quickly. The man only smiled slightly then left Rega who was quietly standing in his place.

Plaque..

Rena was knocked down hard on her floor when her cheeks were slapped hard by Ben. The man was so angry that he could not hold back his emotions as soon as he saw it.

"Ben..why are you.aaakkhhh..." Rena screamed as Ben pulled her hair hard.

"you dare to play behind me." Fizz Ben.

Rena shook her head.

"no. I didn't do anything, what do you mean, Ben?"

Ben threw Rena's body on the floor, then showed a photo that he had obtained from someone. Clearly there, Rena was hugging a man whose face was invisible because the photo was taken from behind her.

Rena gulps her saliva, she quickly picks up Ben's phone. His hands were trembling, he knew for sure if someone had kneeled him earlier. It is probably Rihanna. Rena will not let the woman out of her hands because she has dared to do this to him.

Rihanna is not very fond of it so it's clear she's most likely the culprit.
