Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 34

"hahahaha.so..now brother Arfian is trapped between a woman named Hanum and Rihanna?" Rega continued to mock Arfian who a few minutes ago only told about his concern to choose a wife.

"you think it's funny." Dengus Arfians.

Rega stopped his laughter, knowing that Arfian was in the lema at the moment. As a single father of course he wanted a woman who would accept his daughter. If Hanum had been clear like that it would have confused Arfian.

If you continue, Echa will be tormented. But, there is no other choice but Hanum, as Rihanna is clearly Ben's younger sister. The man who has taken everything from the Arfians, has made sure Arfian cannot choose Rihanna.

"sorry." Exciting Rega.

He looked at Arfian with a serious look this time.

"let's just say, brother invite the woman to the house mama.introduce with mamah, later ask for his opinion.how?"

"i'm planning on taking Hanum to my mom's house tomorrow."

"uumm...then?"

"yes.why ask me? I'll ask your opinion, then I tell you everything." Arfian protest is not happy. "ck..just free, ask for an opinion on an inexperienced man." His grunts.

Rega folded both his hands. He does not accept being underestimated like this.

"i'm also the man in charge." His word.

"iya-iya. come on, you go. I have to work." Banish Arfian.

Rega looked at his watch. His eyes widened instantly as soon as he saw the clock hand pointing at the number 11.

"i'll be late for class." Pekik surprised.

Hurry away because today it was his turn to go to college. Arfian shook his head looking at Rega's behavior.The anxiety in his heart was slightly reduced now thanks to Rega being willing to listen to his complaints.

"Rohar..." Suddenly he remembered the woman he was about to hit on the road.

Unknowingly a smile fell on her lips. I don't know why his heart felt so warm remembering that woman. He had seen it but had forgotten where.

"aaiiihh..don't be a brengs*k man, Arfian." He told himself he was so aware of what he had done.

Arfian can't do anything bad. She had promised Hanum, helped the woman to support her life and in return Hanum had to be willing to become a contract wife and take care of Echa. Although Arfian doubts whether Hanum will do it sincerely or just for Leon's son's sake.

Elsewhere, Hanum seems busy preparing everything for the meeting. As a secretary he must do everything well and right. The president of the company where he works is very fond of mistakes, although only a little wrong he can be angry and cut employee salaries arbitrarily.

"Bu Hanum, drink this first." Rachel offered Hanum a hot cup of coffee.

Hanum smiled, picked it up and took a sip.

"you always know what I need."

"uumm..Ma'am, was that the man who delivered that mother Hanum's mother's lover?" Rachel sat in front of Hanum while hugging the empty tray.

Hanum smiled. Rachel was an office girl, but she was her underclassman at school. They are close and coincidentally now found at work. So the attitude of Rahel and Hanum is not like superiors and subordinates. They look like friends.

"do you not remember who he is?" Ask Hanum.

Rachel frowned. Trying to remember but there is absolutely no shadow of who that man is. Slowly in response.

Hanum breathed a rough breath. Perhaps Rachel had forgotten about Arfian because of the long time separating them. Rachel used to meet Arfian when she was in school.

"he's Arfian, my ex-lover, the classmate you often praise for his cleverness."Hanum.

Rachel glared in disbelief. He was surprised of course, Arfian used to have a thin body and a face that was so innocent. A big brother who he likes because he is smart also his achievements in school. Until he and Hanum become rivals until finally they are close friends.

Rachel confesses her defeat when Arfian suddenly declares love for Hanum. He withdraws from his love, relinquishing Arfian with Hanum.

Recalling that, Rachel and Hanum laughed to themselves. How funny they used to be after Arfian.

"but..why did you meet her again? is he married?" Rahel asked curiously.

Because all this time he did not know what the life of Arfian after graduating from school. All he knows is that Hanum broke up with him.

"yes, she has one daughter." Answer Hanum lethargic.

Rachel took a long breath.

"aahh...of course. surely he is married.but, what about Bu Hanum's ex-husband if he knows that Arfian's mother and sister are back close? then Arfian's wife..."

"stop." Hanum looked at Rachel's face in annoyance.

Rachel's always chatty, never changed before. Hanum told him all he wanted, about Arfian who is now a widower and their wedding plans. Only one he didn't say, about his second contract.

"can't because now, Ms. Hanum's boss isn't a big sister." Kill Rachel.

"it's up to you."

"indeed yes. if the soul mate does not run away." Lirih Rachel's.

Hanum. He knew, until now the reason Rachel was not married. This woman is still afraid of being close to a man because of her past trauma.

Only Arfian men have ever liked Rachel. Until that day, Rachel buried everything because of her father's depraved behavior. He didn't trust any man until now.

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

Echa sits in front of the school with Wanda. Waiting for Arfian to pick her up. The beautiful teacher had contacted Arfian 17 minutes ago.

"mom, is Daddy coming?"

"yes, he said he'd be here soon."

Echa swung her legs, her eyes looking out at the street. The highway that was never deserted became a beautiful sight for him. Sometimes smiling when someone accidentally looks at him.

He saw a black car stop not far from him. Slowly he got off the wooden bench.

"Echa..Where are you going, baby?" Miss Wanda soon followed him.

Echa typed the glass of the car, he smiled as the person inside lowered his glass to be clearly seen.

The driver looked unkind, his face pale and sweat splattered on his temples.

"uncle, why?"

"Echa, come.." Wanda pulls Echa away, only to fear something will happen to her protege.

"cha..." Call the man in a weak, barely audible voice.

"uncle knows Echa?" Ask Echa.

Wanda frowning. I immediately asked the man who had almost lost his consciousness.

"You who?"

"his father....."

Bruck...

His consciousness is gone so say if he is Echa's father. As Wanda becomes more confused, she finds out who Echa's father is. This foreign man before him made Wanda think hard.

"Echa know this uncle?"

Echa shook her head. He did not remember meeting this person or knowing him before.

"Mom, let's get this uncle to the hospital."

"but..."

"teacher's mother would say, if there's someone in trouble we should help her."

Wanda was confused. After a long time of thinking he immediately opened the door of his car, pushing the man's body to the side so he could drive. Then opened the back door, after Echa entered and sat inside Wanda immediately entered, sitting on the steering wheel.

Saving someone's life is much more important. Wanda drove her car at a speed heading for the nearest hospital.

Arfian stops his car right in front of Echa's school. His eyes circulate looking for the whereabouts of his daughter, he has been told that Echa is in front of the school. But, Arfian did not find it at all.

Contact her teacher to ask her where they are.

Tut's.. Tut's..Tut's...

The call was cut back. Echa's teacher didn't pick up the phone at all. Arfian became very anxious, getting out of his car. He ran into the school gate. Hope Echa's still in her class.

After a long search for the existence of Echa is not found at all. Arfian was almost desperate and was about to report to the authorities.

Drt...Drt...

Arfian cancels his call when a message comes in. Sighing in relief, it was teacher Echa who sent the message. But after reading the message that said Echa was in the hospital made him immediately rushed there without asking first why he was there.

He thought there was only Echa, afraid that his daughter was why-why.
