Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 53

Throughout his marriage to Rena, this kitchen was never touched. The woman always bought fast food because she was not very good at cooking. But, the morning aroma of cooking smelled from the kitchen.

Arfian immediately got up and hurried out of the room without washing his face first. I wonder who is using the kitchen.

Rachel is seriously cutting vegetables. On the stove there is even a vegetable soup that is soon cooked.

Arfian closed his eyes, the smell of vegetables that were being cooked really made him hungry. He smiled faintly, seeing Rachel preparing breakfast made him fantasize.

If they were a couple, it would be better.

"iishsh. early in the morning was thinking strangely." Arfian shook his head.

Feeling that his mind is unnatural. Rachel who heard Arfian muttering immediately turned around.

"sister Ar, humm.I've been cooking.let's have breakfast."

"yes, I'll take a shower for a while."

Rachel smiled looking at Arfian who hurriedly entered her room. The woman opened her apron after she finished putting it all on the table. He immediately went to Echa's room.

"honey, let's get up." Rachel flicked the pink Hello Kitty blanket.

Echa squirmed and opened her eyes.

"sister..."

"umm.. let's get up. wash your face and brush your teeth."

Rachel lifted the little body into the bathroom. The treatment is very gentle. Echa becomes happy because Rachel looks more like a mother than a nanny.

It's Rachel's first day working as Echa's nanny, but they seem to have known her for a long time in the way the two interact.

Arfian had finished cleaning his body. Because it's a holiday so he's just wearing casual clothes.

"it's only 7 o'clock. It looks like Echa hasn't woken up yet." Arfian came out and walked to his daughter's room.

Usually all Arfians do it themselves. Bathing Echa, making breakfast that is just bread. Especially after divorce with Rena, he played the role of mother and father.

Screaming as he saw the pink painted door open slightly.

"cha.." Call her.

Arfian felt strange, because the round-shaped bed was empty. He went inside. I heard water from the bathroom.

"already, now Echa wipe first his hands to dry." Rachel's voice came from the bathroom.

Smiling when you know, if Rachel has taken care of everything very quickly. Arfian sat on Echa's bed, waiting for the two.

Chequek..

Rachel who was holding Echa looked surprised as she opened the door.

"sister Ar, why are you here?" Ask while lowering Echa.

"i think my daughter's still sleeping." Arfian kisses Echa on the cheek. "you did everything well, Rachel." The compliment.

"umm.this has become my duty.didn't I get paid to take care of this beautiful princess." Rachel pinched the squash of Echa's cheek.

It feels very warm. Arfian at first glance felt like a happy family. If only his marriage had not failed and he had the right woman, surely moments like this would have happened every day.

"Echa laper." Whine while holding the stomach.

"ah.iya dear. come on.we eat." Arfian raised Echa's body and sat her body on her shoulders.

The little girl looked happy. Laughs cheerfully with the Arfian treatment. Rachel laughs, and she finds out that Arfian is so tender and warm to her son.

He becomes curious about what Hanum said when he quarreled with Arfian at his house.

Is Echa really not her daughter? but why does Arfian love him so much, it's not even noticeable that he's a father. His affection was so sincere towards Echa. But, Rachel did not have that much courage to ask Arfian.

Afraid the man would get angry and consider himself the same as Hanum.

"loh, come on. You also have breakfast with us." Arfian stopped his steps, looking back.

Because I feel like Rachel didn't go with them. Rachel nodded and followed Arfian.

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

Prangs...

Prangs...

Hanum threw the plate back on the floor. He was angry and upset because Arfian was difficult to contact. From last night his phone was off.

"why? why would Rachel you choose." He screamed while crying.

He did not accept it because Arfian preferred Rachel. Hanum had always been superior to her, but now Rachel easily shifted her position.

"s*alan, a selfless woman. br*ngsek." Its meaning.

Didn't realize Leon saw everything. Hanum is so upset that he doesn't remember Leon being home today. His son did not stay at the orphanage.

"mother..." Isaac Leon was terrified. He walked quietly past Hanum who was shouting and broke some of the items that were there.

The little boy opened the door slowly.

"Leon wants Cali Daddy." His issue.

Without Hanum knowing Leon has left the house. The 3-year-old boy next month was walking on the sidewalk crying.

He wants to meet Arfian. Because he thinks only Arfian can help him and make his mother not angry anymore.

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

"Rahel, you're very good at cooking." Praise Arfian.

This time I ate full in the morning. Rahel's rib soup is so good that it can't stop eating. And so is Echa.

"normal brother Ar. umm.I use the ingredients in the refrigerator. everything is up, what will lunch eat?"

Arfian smile. Those ingredients were leftover vegetable stock last month. It seems like it's time to fill the fridge again and buy some kitchen spices that are starting to run out.

"we're just shopping." Arfian.

"funny, Echa come with ya dad."

"yes, dear."

Rachel was happy, but living with Arfian was not as bad as she had imagined. He had thought, it would be very awkward and probably would not be able to eat quietly because of embarrassment. But in fact, it all just flows.

Echa even liked her presence. The girl took him around the house, telling him the location of the rooms in this house.

Rachel thought, why is Hanum so stupid. If only she had not thought badly and was cunning towards Echa, she would have been the one in this house with the status of being an Arfian wife.

"Rahel, what's wrong?" Arfian frowned looking at Rachel who was suddenly silent.

"uh.no." Rachel got up right away. "i'll wash the dishes.You guys wait outside."

"alright, come.honey." Arfian took Echa away.

"front tightness dad, we play ball."

"okay."

Both are running outside. Echa picks up the ball that is near the entrance fence. He fell silent as he looked at the woman he remembered having met him several times.

"Aunty..." Echa was about to open the iron gate but Arfian immediately approached and held Echa's hand.

"Echa, meet Rachel's sister. ask her for citrus." Arfian's word deliberately makes Echa go away.

The woman looked at Arfian not like it. He just wanted to come to see you, not to get into trouble. Why should I be treated like a criminal. He was not even allowed in, Arfian came out and closed the gate.

He did not let her in for fear that something unwanted would happen especially if he saw Rachel later.

To avoid an Arfian quarrel must make this woman leave as soon as possible.

"do I look like a thief who's going to rob your house? why are you so disrespectful?" Her speech.

"you're worse than that. Your existence always makes trouble." Reply Arfian.

The two stared at each other. Arfian is very tough when it comes to protecting his daughter. Won't let anyone get close to him.
