Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 42

Arfian smiles forced as the uninvited guest holds Echa and gives her a plethora of gifts, from food to some medium-sized and large dolls. Echa looked happy so Arfian could not bear to ask the girl to refuse her gift.

"Rihanna, you bought her a lot of stuff. I know you must have a point behind it all." Arfian said quickly as Echa entered the house.

Rihanna smiled, it turned out that her intentions had been easily known by this man. It seems like it will be difficult to get it, he is too careful and has a high suspicion.

"you're not wrong, Mr. Arfian." Rihanna.

Thinking if he should be frank rather than having to pretend expensive selling. Girls like him do not like long-winded things especially about feelings.

"what do you want?"

"i like you." Loud and confidently said those words.

Arfian was surprised, but soon regained his composure. Rachel used to be like this. The girl declares her love in public and ends in rejection because the Arfian prefers Hanum.

"astage..." Mumbled slowly. Arfian uttered that sentence not because of Rihanna but because of her sudden recall of Rachel.

Rihanna flinched in wonder.

"why are you silent? I said I like you." Rihanna's Repeat.

Arfian let out a long breath. His eyes looked at Rihanna sharply.

"you're a girl. It's not worth you.."

"what's wrong if a girl says she likes a guy?" Sela Rihanna fast.

That metropolis girl doesn't want to just give up. He will try to convince Arfian that he is worthy and worthy. Even Rihanna assures herself that she should love Echa too. He will accept Echa and will not make the little boy have to grow up without a mother.

Arfian immediately silenced, maybe for the past it is taboo if a girl says love first. But now that it was more advanced, even a girl would be more aggressive than a man.

"i'm going home, but I hope Mr. Arfian considers what I'm saying." He said then left.

That woman has no shame. He made it clear that he was expecting Arfian.

"Daddy.." Call Echa to disperse Arfian daydreams.

"uh.sad."

"where's the aunt? there's no."

"the tower is home. Umm.ayo dear."

Rihanna smiled broadly as she recalled how shocked Arfian's face was as she expressed her feelings. It was certain that the man would one day melt into her.

"good, I'll keep seeing him and make him mine."

He drove his car fast. On the way to her house, Rihanna decided to stop for a while at a cafe. He wanted to buy something for his mother.

"one latte and two chocolate cakes huh." The message is "just wrap it up."

"well, you can wait a minute."

Rihanna walked towards the empty seat that was in the second row from the front. He fiddled with his phone until he did not know if there was a child standing in front of him.

Brug..

The boy fell because he was hit by it. Rihanna quickly turned off her phone, put it in her bag.

"are you okay?" He panicked, because the boy was going to cry.

"hey. what the fuck are you." Suddenly someone pushed her until Rihanna almost fell.

"Leon, honey are you okay?" The woman who had just pushed Rihanna directly hugged the child.

Rihanna rolled her eyes panted. After all, she was not intentional about what the woman was angry with.

"you dare hurt my son."

"Mother Hanum, it's over. It looks like this was unintentional."

Rihanna clucked in annoyance. He brushed off Hanum's hand which pointed at his face.

"what did you say.."

"Mom Hanum already.m sorry ya." The other woman pulled Hanum and Leon so there was no commotion.

"sucks.the crazy woman." Hisses.

Hanum released Rachel's hand which held her arm. He doesn't like anyone hurting Leon, whether intentionally or unintentionally. For him it remains the same.

Rachel breathed out. Didn't think that Hanum would be angry just because of such an accident. He saw for himself that the woman had accidentally hit Leon.

The three women will never know what will happen in the future. The accidental meeting will be the beginning of their journey to get the same man.

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

Rena packed her things. Staying in Liliana's house made her feel bad. He does not want to continue to trouble others. Especially when she finds out that Liliana has made Ben almost like a person who lost his mind.

The man would shout loudly every day calling his name and sometimes get angry until all the items in his room were destroyed.

"look at the condition of this house like a broken ship." Said Liliana while showing the condition of her home.

Rena sighed, not knowing what to do. Ben was like that because Liliana often gave drugs without her knowledge. Apparently the woman was not kidding, she really wanted to repay Ben's actions to her.

"ana, I can't see it that way." Said Rena. "I'll go back there, you go."

Liliana looked at the screen of her phone, not understanding the way Rena's mind was at the moment. Why she chose to go back to Ben.

"i'll turn off the call." Rena pressed the red button on her screen.

Can't keep making video calls because he has to get to Ben as soon as possible.

Liliana glanced at the unconscious Ben beside her. He was grieving softly, not content to take revenge against him.

"if there's no law, I'll take you out." Snarled.

Ben squirmed his body, holding his stomach which felt sore and turbulent. It feels very anxious to remove the contents because it is very nauseous.

With great difficulty got up and staggered towards the bathroom. It seemed that he was unaware that in the room there was Liliana who was watching him with a look of dislike.

Rena deliberately rented a car to be able to quickly arrive. But as soon as he arrived in front of Ben's house his heart suddenly hesitated. He wasn't sure to go inside.

"do I see him tomorrow." Mumbled.

After a long time of thinking he finally turned back his goal. Maybe he should prepare to meet Ben, maybe, it could be that the man will hit him if he meets later given that Ben believes that Rena has tried to eliminate him by mixing sleeping pills in the coffee he drank.

Unknowingly Rena has now been in front of the door of the house meaning. He raised his hand, knocking on the front door slowly.

Maybe meeting Echa will make her heart better.

Geck..Geck...

The last four knocks of the door opened, showing the Arfian figure he longed for so much. Rena is indeed selfish, on the other hand she worries about Ben but also still misses Arfian.

"Arphians..."

The man didn't say anything, immediately closed the front door quickly. Not allowing Rena to enter.

"talk." His word.

Rena felt disappointed because Arfian preferred to talk outside, not allowing her to go inside.

"Ar, I want to see Echa."

"can't."

"but why? I'm his mother, miss Echa can't I?"

Arfian silent. He's just afraid of anything happening to Echa. Because the doctor has advised not to make him think hard. If he meets Rena, he is afraid that Echa will be confused and even make him stressed. Because all this time the girl did not remember Rena was her mother.

Echa thought her mother was gone even though Arfian didn't say that.
