Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 41

Leon confusedly looked at the two adults before him. He could not understand why Arfian and Hanum were shouting at each other like that. They both looked at each other sharply and spoke harshly, unaware that the two were no longer in the room.

"you're selfish Hanum. If you want your son to live well then you should also think about my daughter's future." Arfian Shouts. He had never spoken this loud before, even when angry at Rena he used to still be calm.

But this time Arfian could not hold back his emotions, he was very angry with Hanum for hurting Echa.

For him Echa was everything, Hanum shouldn't have behaved like that.

"but Arfian, you also don't just think about your feelings. I don't like Echa because there's a reason. because of my past with you." Hanum did not lose shouting.

Sretti..

Leon pulls Arfian material pants. The little boy looked up at Arfian.

"Daddy..." Leon's call that sounded so scared made Arfian come to a realization.

He immediately squatted in high alignment with her. Patting Leon's head slowly, he glanced at Hanum a glance before speaking.

"honey, I'm sorry Daddy scared you." Hugged Leon's body quickly.

Hanum felt guilty, already making his son like this. Crouch down and hug Leon from behind until Arfian quickly releases his embrace. He looked at Hanum, not liking her.

"i'll go home." He said while standing.

"Daddy, the zoo.." Leon Seru.

Arfian smile.

"then yes, Daddy has to deliver Brother Echa." Lying Arfian.

Leon nodded in understanding, Although he is only two years old, he is an understanding child. Hanum was about to speak but Arfian raised his hand, hinting that Hanum would say nothing more.

"i'm still going to pay for your son even if we don't get married." Arfian said that out of feeling sorry for Leon.

Hanum cried in silence. He never expected it to be like this. In his little heart, he still holds love for Arfian. It's just that one that makes itself so selfish, is because of the existence of Echa.

Hanum is not a kind and sincere woman. He was just an ordinary human who still had many flaws.

Arfian has decided to go back home. He left without saying goodbye to Hanum, waving his hand at Leon.

Echa smiled when she saw Arfian coming back, he got straight out of the car.

"dad, where's Leon?" Ask.

"he's inside. Let's go home, baby."

"kok home? Leon..."

"Leon's asleep so we'll just go home?"

Echa doesn't talk much anymore. Go straight back into his car. Arfian let out a long sigh, not expecting that Hanum the once loving ex-boyfriend is now turning into a heartless woman. Even with a child, he behaves like that.

Hanum wiped the tears. He can't look sad in front of Leon.

"honey, we'll go for a walk together, okay?" Invite Hanum, do not want Leon disappointed because their streets failed.

Leon nodded in spirit. Soon Hanum contacted Rachel. It seemed like he needed himself to contain all his sadness. He never thought that Rachel used to love Arfian so much.

"Rahel, you have time, right?"

".................."

"i want to take you out with Leon."

".................."

"uumm.in a regular cafe yeah. I wait."

The phone was disconnected. Hanum immediately went into the room to tidy up his makeup. Leon followed behind him.

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

Not yet finished guessing who the person who was visiting his house, Arfian was shocked by a woman sitting on the porch of his house.

He held Echa because the girl was asleep. Directly walking and reprimanding the person who was sitting while fiddling with his phone, so as not to realize the presence of Arfian.

"what are you doing here?" Ask Arfian without saying anything.

The man looked up and smiled widely. It immediately stood up and greeted the familiar-assed Arfian.

"aah.hai, you're home."

"let's just say what's your purpose here?" Tanya Arfian was unhappy.

"i..." The guy looks nervous. "just want to see you. what's echa sleeping?" Ask while stroking the soft Echa hair.

Arfian looked at the person before him with dislike. Not because that person had done anything wrong, but Arfian had already established his heart not to get in touch with someone who had a relationship with Ben. Arfian hates it, Ben is the hell he avoids the most. Those around him should avoid it.

Getting such a look did not make that person waver. Keep trying to get Arfian's attention.

"uumm. I actually miss him." He said slowly.

Arfian's forehead shriveled in an incomprehensible manner with His intentions that the person said.

"i mean, I miss Echa." Clearly quickly.

Arfian snorted, unsure if his words were a sincerity coming out from his heart.

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

Hanum stirred his latte with absolutely no appetite to drink or touch other foods. He only fed Leon once in a while and then let out a long, heavy sigh.

Rachel watched carefully. He also took his breath.

"so..sister Arfian cancelled the wedding?"

"hum..was I wrong with Rachel? I just can't accept Echa because she's the daughter of someone I hate."

Rachel did know what happened to Hanum in the past and present. Because Hanum often told her everything.

"i think Ms. Hanum is guilty." Rachel's words made Hanum see her quickly.

"yes, Bu Hanum shouldn't have behaved like that. Although Echa is the daughter of the woman who has made Bu Hanum suffer but the little boy is not wrong. Her mother's fault shouldn't be on her." Further.

Hanum. Rachel may be younger than him, but this woman always has an answer that every time she's in trouble. Honesty and also his mature attitude makes Hanum always believe that Rachel is the right person to be used as a place to confide.

"but it feels heavy." Lirih Hanum's.

Rachel touched Hanum's hand on the table. He smiled softly.

"convince your heart, tell yourself that Echa is not an obstacle for you to get happiness. She's just a little girl who doesn't understand anything."

"you're right Rachel. but..." Hanum stroked Leon's head. "i always felt pain every time I saw the child, his face was too similar to her. I wanted Arfian but not with his daughter."

Rachel felt that Hanum could not be allowed to leave. It is too selfish if the woman only wants Arfian but does not accept Echa as a princess at all.

"don't be selfish. Hanum's mother wants someone for Leon and Arfian's brother must be so, too, wanting someone to take care of Echa. You need each other for the sake of children, so don't be selfish."

Rachel said that with great emphasis. His heart was turbulent because after all Arfian was still a man who meant anything to him, only he was aware of his position.

Only being able to harbor everything and encourage Hanum like this.

Hanum. It's a real dilemma. What Rachel said was true, she admitted it. But, still for Hanum it all felt impossible. Even he never thought about whether Rachel still likes Arfian or not. He only thinks about his own feelings and Leon.

His unconscious selfishness had become a habit for Hanum. He is always selfish without caring about people around. It was actually like that before.

Saying frankly to Rachel. Asking the girl to back off to get her love Arfian.

Even so, Rachel did not feel hurt or hate at all. He still accepted Hanum as his friend even now that Hanum was the boss in the office he still airily accepted the woman.
