Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 33

Echa and Leon played together all day. The two little boys get along so well, Echa is exactly an older brother who continues to play this 2-year-old boy.

They are currently at Hanum's house. At the request of Echa, who wants to continue with Leon. The Arfians could not resist even knowing that their Hanum objected to their presence.

The truck...

Arfian turned his head and smiled stiffly at Hanum who had just returned from the kitchen. The woman placed the drink on the table impolitely.

"Huuuhh.. troublesome only. Your daughter makes me upset. she is spoiled and sucks exactly her mother." Dengus Hanum's.

Arfian just smiled badly. Hanum was too blunt to make Arfian do not know what to respond.

"he's just a little kid." Arfian.

"ck... Still, I don't like to see it because it's exactly with Rena. Even that face reminds me of her." Decih Hanum subconsciously if Arfian was now looking at her with an annoyed and angry look.

This man could no longer hold back his emotions. His patience is running out, Hanum just keeps saying inappropriate words to Echa until Arfian gets angry.

"Echa my daughter, never say she looks like him. Echa's just a kid who doesn't understand anything. Why do you keep venting hatred against her." Arfian said furiously.

He stood up, not caring for Hanum who was looking at him. Arfian felt that his decision to marry Hanum even if it was just a covenant was a very wrong thing. He must not continue with this crazy plan otherwise Echa will definitely be an impingement of Hanum because of his mistake and Rena.

"Echa, let's go home." Arfian carried Echa and left.

Leon who cried because he did not want to be left was not at all influenced by him. Hanum fell silent, shocked at what Arfian was doing.

The man was so angry that he kept on offending Echa.

Hanum let out a long sigh, there was absolutely no intention to hold Arfian to stay. Instead, he felt relieved because the two men finally came home without having to bother expelling him.

Arfian sat Echa in the steering wheel seat, peeked at her forehead and closed the door. He ran around to get in. His heart felt sorry for Echa, this little boy had to feel the hatred of someone. It's not fair to him.

Arfian knew very well that Hanum hated Rena and herself, but it was not appropriate for the adult woman to bestow her hatred on Echa who knew nothing.

"Daddy, why does Leon's mom hate Echa?" Tanya Echa broke her daydream.

Arfian stroking Echa's hair dear.

"who said Leon's mom doesn't hate Echa."

"Daddy lied, Leon's mother glared at Echa. Echa holding Leon's toy is always forbidden." His sister.

Arfian smiled wryly, although Echa was still a child but he already understood which person was good to him and which one was not. Regretting his actions because without thinking long has made a decision like this.

Arfian should have thought first, what woman he cooperated with would love Echa or not. He only thought about how to make Rada no longer match him and Sena.

"mr..." Arfian muttered softly, not knowing what to answer.

A child's feelings are more sensitive than an adult's. He can't deny that Echa must have realized that Hanum doesn't like him.

Liliana prepares breakfast for Ben, she glances at Rena who is brewing coffee. The two women look at each other and code each other as soon as they hear Ben's voice from the living room.

The man seemed to have just woken up and immediately looked for Rena's whereabouts.

"i'm in the kitchen." Rena cried, putting her coffee glass on the table.

Liliana opened the white paper that contained the exact powder of refined sugar. Smiling faintly at Rena then immediately asked her to call Ben.

"i'll do the dishes, you serve Ben."

"uumm...are you sure? I'm scared."

"ck.do it."

"but..."

"he's your daughter's father, right? a father like Ben doesn't deserve to live."

Rena hesitated a little, she walked towards the living room. Afraid that what he does will get him in big trouble. Even though Liliana said everything would be fine, she still felt unsure.

"Ben.." Call slowly.

Ben smiled, walking towards Rena.

"anywhere, massage me for a moment." Ben sat down in the chair and lifted his leg up on the table.

Pulling Rena's arm to sit next to her. Rena's hand slowly lifted, twitching Ben's shoulder.

"i made coffee."

"vat..." Ben closed his eyes when in the sense of massage Rena so comfortable.

"let me take..humm..."

"don't, keep the massage." Ben restrains Rena's hand so as not to stop her activities. "ana, bring her coffee." Shouted Ben later.

"it's honey..." Liliana sat on Ben's lap, making the man instantly open his eyes.

"that's enough." Ben asked Rena to stop massaging.

Rena looked at the two people who were making out in front of her eyes. His heart was no longer as jealous as before, but now he felt that Ben was so brengs*k in his eyes.

"Ben, don't you miss Echa?" Rena fishing rod, just want to know if the man loves his daughter or not.

Ben saw Rena, he did not answer. Sip the coffee a little.

"what's missing him for." Said Ben making Rena clench her hand.

Liliana sighed.

"you don't love him?" Ask Liliana.

Ben laughed softly. He stroked Liliana's cheek.

"honey, I don't miss him. I just don't feel ready yet."

Ben's answer is always that. He is not ready to be a father. What a weight it admits is its own flesh and blood.

"already, I need to get ready soon." Ben stood up, leaving the two women behind.

He should go to the office immediately. Rena and Liliana just silently watched how Ben's path was slightly staggering. The medicine seems to have started to react.

"look at it, slowly he will receive his reward." Desis Liliana.

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

Echa kissing Arfian cheek. The little girl was excited because starting this morning she had already returned to school.

"Bu Wanda, I'm heading for Echa." The Arfian to the Echa teacher.

The female teacher wearing the hijab nodded. He leads Echa, takes her inside.

Arfian has left Echa to his teacher, he will work during Echa school. Give her mobile number so that when Echa comes home from school later her teacher can contact her.

Before arriving at the office, Arfian accidentally picks up Hanum. The woman seemed to need a ride because in the morning she had called asking Arfian to take her to the office where she worked.

Actually the distance of Echa school and Hanum house is quite far, Arfian takes an hour to get there. In addition, it must deliver it to the office, if calculated in its entirety then Arfian takes 2-3 hours to return to his office.

"come inside." Arfian opened the front door, he saw Hanum already standing by the roadside in front of his house.

"you're late, it's 8 o'clock." Said Hanum while going inside.

Arfian took a deep breath, he had already tried as quickly as possible to arrive here. Hanum did not appreciate his efforts at all.

"Hanum, I know you don't like Echa."

"you know clearly, don't."

"so, I guess, the contract between us isn't going on. I don't want Echa to get hurt because of your attitude."

Hanum was grimacing slowly. He did not accept, Hanum had planned to quit his job in order to take care of Leon. If the marriage contract is canceled then all will come back in vain. Leon has to stay in the orphanage again. Hanum doesn't want that.

"after you gave me hope now you destroyed everything.You were exactly with you 6 years ago."

Arfian frowned, he didn't mean that. Glanced at Hanum without paying attention to the streets.

"excuse me Hanum, but...."

"watch...Arphians.." Pekik Hanum's.

The surprised Arfian immediately stepped on the brakes. Exhaling a sigh of relief as soon as he saw the person who was about to crash into him was fine.

I rushed out to apologize. Hanum came out. The victim stood up while holding his chest.

"are you okay.?" Ask Arfian.

That person opened his eyes, looking at Arfian with a face of fear. His body trembled in surprise.

"i..."

"Rohar..." Hanum narrowed his eyes, making sure that the woman who was about to be hit was Rachel.

"Mom Hanum."

They seem to be one place of work. Rachel is an office girl in Hanum's office.

Arfian looked at the woman. Somehow seeing the look in his eyes made Arfian speechless. He felt something strange about him, especially in his chest. His heart beat faster, as if hypnotized by the look in the eyes of the woman named Rachel.
