Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 19

Rihanna really showed good imagery in the presence of Arfian and Rada. He should be able to take both hearts for the sake of achieving what he wants. He gently grasped Echa's small hand.

"forgive my brother." The issue is "too far as Ben is concerned, to hurt a little girl like you."

Rada touched Rihanna's shoulder. He let out a long sigh, this woman looked very sad for what Ben had done.

"actually your brother wants to hit Arfian, but..." Rada could not help her crying. He again sobbed at the moment when Echa was hit by the blow.

Rihanna quickly hugged him, stroking Rada's back.

"forgive my brother." She said, "i also just found out if my brother's girlfriend is your ex-wife, Mr. Arfian."

Arfian was silent. Then smiled, immediately invited Rada to sit down. Rihanna sat down, her hands holding Rada's.

"you're a good girl." Said Rada. "may your life always be happy."

Rihanna flinched, inexplicably hearing Rada pray for her like that made her feel so bad. Especially when remembering his bad plan against the Arfian.

"well, I have to go home soon." Rihanna hastily woke up, she felt bad when getting Rada's good treatment.

"um.let me take you." Arfian Tawar.

"no need to take the car with me." Reject Rihanna quickly.

Arfian nodded, just escorting Rihanna to the door. The man let out a long sigh, seeing Rihanna's good attitude towards him made Arfian suspicious. Somehow he felt that there was something behind his kindness.

"what's Arfian?" Rada asked because he saw Arfian who was dumb.

"not the mah." Arfian sits back next to Rada. "humm..when will Echa wake up? I miss him." Arfian.

Rada is sad. He was the same, longing for the agility of that 5-year-old boy. Echa is declared in a coma and knows when the girl will fall asleep.

Chequek...

Door opens. Sena and Rega entered with a large bag. Hand the bag over to Rada.

"mah, change your clothes and eat. Sena's cooking something in everyone's bag." Rega.

"yes, auntie. let us wait for Echa. aunt eat first."

Rada glanced at Arfian.

"Arfian, come on. eat with mama." Bring along. But Arfian refused by shaking his head.

He's not hungry at all. Standing up then walked towards the weakly lying Echa. Kissing his old forehead with his relentless tears dripping down.

"honey.wake up. Echa report? Daddy's gonna feed Echa." Say it while stroking Echa's cheek.

Rega who could not bear to see it immediately turned her face.Rada had even joined in crying as well as Sena.

Arfian looks pretty fucked up. Even his clothes were tangled with two buttons that opened the top.

"mom, eat first." Arfian sat beside Echa's sickbed. "i'm not hungry at all."

"but Mr. Arfian can get sick." Sena said. "if you get sick who will take care of Echa?"

Arfian saw Sena. The woman smiled so gently. Seen sincerity from the look in his eyes.

"yes, Arfian. right Sena said." Timpal mistress Rada.

"uummm...pak Arfian eat yes? if Mr. Arfian falls ill, Echa will definitely be sad."

Arfian thought for a while, looking at Echa's face. Feeling that Sena's words had a point, he immediately nodded. Rada and Sena throw smiles at each other. Rega was about to smile but was so aware that Sena who had managed to persuade Arfian made her lips clench again.

"haaaaaaaaa......" Breathing out rough breaths intentionally.

Sena frowned in surprise, then sniffed her shoulders no matter what. He took food for the Arfian without caring about Rega's sour face.

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

Ben continues to persuade Liliana, promising to decide Rena and choose her. Because Liliana was a storehouse of money for him. Although her family did not care for her because she had re-established a relationship with Rena, as long as there was Liliana she would not starve to death.

Liliana looked at Ben in disbelief. He still hesitates about Ben's sweet words.

"are you serious?"

Because whatever she says, Liliana won't know the truth. This woman kept silent, trying to find the truth from Ben's eyes.

He was quiet long enough. Until Ben took the initiative to do something. Grabbing her hands, kissing her and then pulling the woman into her arms.

"believe me." Ben whispered right in front of Liliana's lips.

Slowly her lips pressed. Liliana was still silent, not returning Ben's kiss. Feeling something in his heart. The next second his eyes closed. Liliana gives Ben a chance to do more.

I don't know who started it, but both of them are already lying in bed. Liliana closed her eyes as Ben touched her body. He felt the gentleness of the man. Forgetting all his words while in the car with Arfian. He said he wouldn't be in touch with Ben anymore. But the truth is he fell back into his arms.

At home, Rena was still screaming loudly asking to be taken out. Banging on the door hard.

"Ben, open the door." Rena just kept shouting Ben's name, "please..."

Ckiiit......

When he heard the sound of the tires of Rena's car immediately ran towards the window, trying to see who was coming.

"Rihanna's..." He muttered unhappily.

Rena wiped her tears quickly. If Rihanna saw him in such a bad state like this surely the woman would ridicule him all out.

Ting..Kegs...

Rihanna pressed the bell repeatedly. He snorted loudly when the door was not opened. Rena was silent noiseless, she prayed that the woman might not be long. Hope to get out of here fast.

"ckk..where Ben. his cell phone is not active even in his house is not there. si*lan, there is absolutely no word of thanks for my release." Rihanna gets upset while getting back in her car.

Rena breathed a sigh of relief.

Back to the hospital. Arfian asks Rega to see Ben at the police station. He wanted to make sure the man was still in brackets there.

"mmm..Sena come with me." Rega Pinta.

"why? don't you like being close to me."

"ck.. come on, come on."

As usual, Rega did not want to hear the word rejection. Sena followed after getting permission from Madam Rada.

In the car, they were both silent. Rega himself was confused, having to start a conversation from where. Until he remembered what happened at the hospital.

"you care so much for Arfian."

"yes.why?" Sena frowning.

"ukeshem..." Rega cleared her throat loudly. "you like it, right?"

"of course I don't hate Mr. Arfian."

Mmmm bruum..

"yeahawk...Rega.." Pekik Sena when the speed of the car is added by Rega.

The man did not listen to Sena's screams at all. He was upset to hear the woman's confession. Rega cursed inwardly, regretting for having asked Sena such a question. Just make his heart hot.

Arriving at the police station, Rega immediately met the officer on guard. He asked about Ben. But, an answer that was thrown by the officer made Rega and Sena surprised.

"sir Ben was released 3 hours ago."

"ba.. how can it be? who did it?" Ask Rega.

The officer makes a ledger and tells Rega that a woman claiming to be his wife has paid the bail.

"Mother Rena. He's the one who's guaranteed Ben's." Evidently.

Rega clenched his hands. Didn't expect that Rena would do such a thing. She's more concerned about herself and Ben than her own daughter. Don't know if it wasn't actually Rena who did it. Rihanna accidentally claims to be Rena to remove evidence that she helped Ben.

A dirty game like his will start from now on. Rega promises to take revenge on Rena and Ben. He couldn't take it because they hurt Echa.
