Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 16

Echa was fast asleep in the car, the little girl was so happy all day because Rega and Sena invited her to play. He forgot his longing for Rena. It might be strange to think of it logically. Children his age are not at all concerned with a mother or not beside him. Echa sometimes whines asking to meet her mother but sometimes she doesn't remember it at all.

Rega leaned her body on the car, she glanced at Sena who was standing beside her. They choose to chat outside for fear of disturbing the sleeping Echa.

"what do you want to talk about, right?" Ask Rega.

Sena breathed a heavy sigh.

"you know, back at school Echa was very naughty. he broke his friend's toy, mocked and even when the teacher spoke he didn't care. didn't feel scared at all."

"are you serious? Echa can't do that. He's a good kid." Excited Rega did not believe.

"i hope so, too, that even the teacher sent me a message." Sena also said everything that Echa's teacher said to her earlier.

Rega really can't believe it. Looking at the slumbering Echa in the car, the girl was so innocent and weak. Everything Sena said made her feel disbelief.

"why is that. yes.god.." Rega squeezes her hair. "does Arfian's sister know?"

Sena shook her head.

"i don't know, but I think Rena knows about this. Because the teacher said, her mother trifled all her words so asked me to say back to Echa's parents." Obviously Sena.

Rega breathed a rough breath, he had expected it. Rena is just a selfish mother, not concerned at all with the growth and development of her daughter. Remembering everything Rena has done makes Rega very upset.

"cih.women it's so outrageous.in her own child even don't care.I'm ashamed to admit it as a sister." Decih Rega is upset.

"then.what should we do? tell him to Mr Arfian?" Ask Sena.

Hearing Sena mention Arfian's name made Rega remember something. His jealousy returned.

"humm.you like it?" Excited Rega out of the path of the topic.

Sena frowning. "likes what?"

Rega grunting.

"of course Arfian. You like him, right?"

"yes, he's a good man." Sena's reply made her even more annoyed. He clenched his hands holding back the emotions.

"ooh, yes, of course you'll like him. he's handsome, rich and also a widower." Ketus Rega's.

Sena poked her lips towards Arfian.

"why are you even talking about that? we're talking about the Echa."

Rega cleared his throat slowly, he was just a little emotional so carried away. Upon hearing Sena praise Arfian made her feel displeased.

"already, we just go home. You always just rent it to me. if you don't like me just say it." Sena said again while getting into the car, slamming the door hard enough.

Rega rubbed his face rough, he didn't mean it that way. But he can't be sweet when dealing with Sena.

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

The woman Arfian had just brought home gave him her contact number. Asking Arfian to call her if anything happens, she thinks Ben will definitely hurt Arfian for driving her home.

And sure enough, I don't know where Ben is standing at the gate of the Arfian house. The man looks very angry.

"you're trying to take it from me?" Grumpy Ben.

As soon as Arfian got out of the car he directly lunged at her with a punch.

"look at it, I'll break your hand if I dare to touch it." Threaten Ben.

Arfian brushed off Ben's hand that was clutching the collar of his shirt. He laughed cynically.

Ben was about to throw back the blow to Arfian. But, Echa quickly ran towards them once out of the car.

"Daddy..aaahhh..."

His little body was blown away when Ben's punch hit his head.

"cha...." Pekik Arfians.

Sena had even been sitting on the asphalt, her legs suddenly limp. Rega quickly ran towards Arfian and Echa.

"you.." Arfian hands the unconscious Echa to Rega.

It quickly hit Ben's body. Hit him blindly. Arfian couldn't hold back his emotions anymore. Ben who was also surprised because he had been wrongly targeted just kept quiet not fighting at all.

"if anything happens to my daughter, my hands let you live." Arfian Fizz.

Ben was still silent, his face was already battered. He looked towards Rega who was holding Echa, taking her away from there.

"Sena, hurry up." Shouting Rega.

Sena immediately got up, hurriedly opened the car door. Stole Echa in her arms. They immediately took him to the hospital without waiting for Arfian first.

"i didn't do it on purpose." Lirih Ben's.

Arfian pulls Ben's collar, so the man stands up. Arfian did not hear any reason at all. He dragged Ben's body to his car. Pushing him hard inside.

"you're responsible." Hisses.

Ben just shut up. He doesn't know his feelings at the moment. Feeling guilty for injuring a child or for Echa being his daughter. Ben closed his eyes, his feelings completely incomprehensible.

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

Rega and Sena sat restlessly in the waiting room. Echa has been treated by a doctor. They waited for almost half an hour. Arfian hasn't come yet because the man dragged Ben to the police station.

Sena was already crying, she could not help her sadness.

"Rega, how's Echa? is she okay?" Rada walked hurriedly towards Rega who was sitting with her head lowered.

Rega did not reply at all, he only shook his head weakly. Rada was crying hysterically, she immediately came as soon as she got the news about Echa entering the hospital.

"Echa.my granddaughter.." Her tears broke in Rega's arms.

"Reg.. Echa's gonna be okay, right?" Ask. Rega nodded, in fact he was not sure because the doctor had said that the little girl had bleeding in the brain.

Sena cupped her face, her body shaking. Rega who saw it immediately pulled Sena's body into his arms. He hugged the two women tightly, giving strength to both.

Meanwhile, Arfian makes a report that Ben has hurt his son. He doesn't want to let Ben go of his mistakes.

"Arfian.. Please, don't do this?" Rena pleaded with Arfian.

Arfian brushed off the hand of Rena holding her hand. He gets angrier looking at her, Rena defends Ben more than she appeals to worry about her own daughter. Rena came as soon as she called him and told him she was at the police station.

"you want the man who hurt your daughter to be released?" Arfian growled. "what kind of mother are you?"

"i can't be without Ben if he's in jail...."

"and I can't without my daughter." Sela Arfian was angry. "he's struggling in the hospital right now and you don't care at all?"

Rena was crying hard. He also cares about Echa, but he can't leave Ben in jail. How will his life be without someone guaranteeing his life. Ben always gives whatever he wants even though sometimes the guy always plays physically.
