Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 57

Rachel laughed blandly as the woman the King introduced offended her a little. The woman of Japanese descent seemed to feel jealous of him, clearly visible from the way he spoke and looked at her.

This was the first time the two met but it seemed like they had no match at all. Rachel felt that the woman named Haruka was very afraid if the King turned away from her. Just look, from earlier his hand wrapped around the King's arm.

"why did you come alone? don't you have a boyfriend?" That was the question Haruka asked as soon as Rachel sat in her chair.

Not asking for news or introducing himself. The king smiled at Rachel, hoping that her lover's question would not offend her.

"i..." Rachel was sure if she said she was still alone then the woman would definitely be more wary of her, it made Rachel uncomfortable.

"Haruka, don't ask such irreverent questions.he's Rachel, my best friend from high school." Sela Raja, try to distract Haruka.

"not someone who's ever filled your heart, right?" Inquiringly.

"aa..aaahh..Why are you asking like that?" The king did know that Haruka was so possessive towards him but this time his attitude had gone too far.

"calm down, I'm just his best friend.don't be afraid of my presence. The king loves you, doesn't he? so you should have believed him. Not even acting like I'm afraid of losing like that." Said Rachel, looking at Haruka sharply.

He doesn't like this woman at all. The impression is so ugly and according to him it is very inappropriate with the King. The man was kind-hearted and gentle, while Haruka seemed to be so arrogant and haughty.

"you dare teach me?" Haruka squeaks. "King, I don't like this girl. Why are you friends with him."

"Haruka, don't be like this. Rachel's a good girl, maybe she's a little spicy when she talks, but trust me. Rachel's good if we're good."

Haruka poked her lips. Looking at Rachel who is now eating her order date cake. He did not mean to make Rachel angry, only fearing that Rachel could take the King from him.

Because as he knew all along, usually the lover's relationship will be lost by a friendship. Especially if your friend is a woman.

"Haruka, I can't take the King." Rachel said that with her genuine smile.

Haruka turned her face embarrassed. I think too much to make it like this. Slowly he looked at Rachel's face.

"i'm Haruka Nakiyah, my parents are Japanese but live in Indonesia. I'm sorry if I've been disrespectful." He said in a soft voice.

The king stroked the woman's hair gently. Feeling that Haruka and Rachel could become good friends later. Haruka is childish because she is only 18 years old. While he is very well established and fit to get married.

Relationships of different ages are common now. The king even planned to propose to him when Haruka was 20 years old.

"Rahel Sharenya. Nice to meet you. How old are you? I feel like you're younger than me?" Rachel squinted her eyes.

"18 years." It was not Haruka who answered but the King.

The man smiled broadly as he saw Rachel's eyes round, perhaps in surprise.

"you're a great king, get a sweet girl like her." Praise Rachel.

Haruka who had put on a jutek face now smiled shyly. He tightened his arms in the King's arms.

The king sighed, his heart could not lie even though his lips were smiling. He still loves Rachel but didn't expect much of it. He knew Rachel would never accept him.

After all, there was a woman he had to take care of his heart. Haruka, an 18-year-old girl who is now her lover.

They met 2 years ago, when the King was visiting his brother's grave. Haruka's parents are his uncle's business partners, who somehow at first, these two different age people become very close and eventually become lovers.

Brakkk..

Rena was surprised, her eyes just kept twitching. His face was so pale that he saw the enraged Ben. Swallowing his saliva nervously as Ben again lifted the wooden chair before him.

Brakkk...

Throwing back on the floor like that. Liliana, who was there, got up from her seat. Slightly retreated in fear of being exposed to the man's impingement.

"you dare betray me?" Angry Ben angry.

He was upset because Rena still dared to meet Arfian. To lie as if Arfian was the one who contacted him first, but in reality Rena herself was the one who had earlier chased the man back.

"you made me like this yourself." Said Rena ventured. "Until now you haven't married me, just promised and promised what you said."

Rena looks so wanted Arfian back even this woman is always silent expressionless when invited to contact with him. It hurt her heart and made her hesitate to tie Rena into hers.

"because you doubt me now, I don't want to marry a woman who doesn't love me sincerely." Hisses.

Liliana wanted to laugh at hearing that. He looked at the two people in front of him with a small glance. He also got bored with this game. Ben's been looking pretty bad lately, anyway. Maybe he should also ask to separate, while the marriage has not been carried out.

Ben was so selfish, wanting to marry two women at once. Didn't think he was being played by one of them.

"you say it like it pisses me off. If you really don't want to marry me then let me go. I'll go back to Arfian. Echa needs me."

Plaque..

Ben loudly slapped him.

"are you challenging me?"

"you're too much Ben."

"i don't like it when you say another man's name in front of me."

"and do you think I like it when there's another woman in your heart?"

The two quarrels made Liliana even more careless. They're a grown man and woman but why is it so childish.

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

Arfian looked at the wall clock, it was 8pm but Rachel had not returned. He could not sleep, his heart was not calm.

Rada shook his head looking at the behavior of Arfian who was pacing back and forth earlier.

"Ar, what's wrong with you? I'm not focusing on watching tv."

Arfian immediately sat down beside Rada. Wanting to open the door of his mouth to speak, but the sound of the door being opened made him instantly clench his mouth back.

"loh.ada rada's mother." Rachel surprised. Directly shaking hands with him.

"sir, not sleeping? it's usually in the room at this hour." Rachel's apology makes Arfian flounder.

"i..." Arfian tries to find an excuse. "accompanies a mamah watch." Her speech.

"watch what? you were pacing back and forth because you were worried that Rachel hadn't come home." Said Rada intentionally. Smiling ignorantly towards the fluttering Arfian.

"hhhh.that's.don't listen to mama." Arfian went straight to his room.

Brakes..

Close the door hard. Rachel closed her eyes.

"what's wrong with him?" Ask plain Rachel.

"just embarrassed."

"shy?" Rachel frowned.

Rada smiled faintly and then patted Rachel on the shoulder.

"sleep, and remember one thing if you want to make a man chase after us then do as I say. Act like it's hard to get."

Rachel frowned not understanding why Rada said that to her.

While in the room, Arfian looked agitated.

"hiyaoh..Is Rachel among that ugly guy? ckk. no-no. Why do you think that's Arfian." Arfian speaks for himself like a fool.
