Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 65

Rachel sat quietly beside Arfian. Echa has been dealt with and is now fast asleep. The clock has shown at 8 pm, Rada even came 30 minutes ago.

Arfian stroked Rachel's head leaning on her shoulder.

"so..Is the king a doctor now?" Arfian still can't believe that the doctor who treated Echa was King.

The man looked cold, not friendly at all. As if he was an enemy to be avoided. Indeed, from a long time ago they did not get along.

"uuumm.then, he and I used to play together in his tantic orphanage. There was a child who had skin cancer. Due to the cost constraints and also a donor who was difficult to get, the child was no longer helped. Since then the King promised to become a great doctor. I also promise, if the King becomes a doctor then I'll be his nurse." Rachel's story, without realizing that Arfian is holding back upset.

Hearing their stories once so close made him jealous. He knew it was just the past. Now even Rachel was his.

"if you're a nurse, that means you'll be together." Arfian's words made Rachel laugh softly.

"hahha. brother Ar, jealous?" Guess it.

Arfian cleared his throat slowly. Of course, he is even jealous when Rachel is more concerned with Echa than he is.

"uumm. sister." Rachel stood up straight. "I love you."

"uhhuukk..." Arfian coughed, his face flushed red. "i know." He said, turning his face away.

Only this time could he be ashamed like this. Rachel is good at making her heart beat fast.

The king clenched his hands, and he saw the two through the window. Rahel and Arfian's closeness made him messy.

"humm...sister King, angry because of that?" Screaming Haruka.

The king immediately turned around, misbehaving because the second time he was caught by Haruka was looking at Rachel secretly.

"Haruka..."

"i know, in the heart of the King's brother there is only Rachel's sister."

Haruka refrained from crying. The woman understood his position, although the King always prioritized himself but when the first love was present then he was nothing.

The king could not speak. Haruka already knows everything about her.

Slowly Haruka retreated, then ran away from the King.

The man remained silent unmoved, there was no intention to catch up with Haruka. Back to see Rachel who is now joking with Arfian.

Rachel breathed a rough breath. Upset because Arfian kept teasing her. The man laughed at Rachel who could not say anything more.

"you lost.I'm right? did you dream of me often?"

"sister Ar..."

"or did you even imagine me?"

"sister Ar, it's." Rachel pouting.

"iya-iya, sorry. come here.." Arfian pulls Rachel's hand. Pecking the back of his hand. "let's see Echa."

"humming..."

They went to the room where Echa was taken care of. To replace Rada who had been waiting there since.

The king snorted in annoyance. Rachel's happiness instead of making her happy, her heart was so hot and sore. He could not see Arfian happy while he had to feel bitterness.

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

Haruka ran to the parking lot, got in the car and cried. The king has been ignoring himself lately. Not even that guy tried to chase her.

"hiks.hiks.." Cry broke.

The pain of his heart felt deeper when he saw a photo of himself and the King on display on the dashboard of the car. In the past, the man was very gentle and always tried to give her whatever she wanted.

If, you knew it would be like this. Haruka would never allow the King to return to this city if it would only make her heart hurt.

He should have realized, when the king told him about his best friend. Those eyes were so happy.

The woman who was still in her teens had only one way to make the King back in his position without fear of being abandoned. He had to tell the King's mother everything, that was the only way.

The king looked at the wall clock, it was time he checked the state of Echa. With a heavy heart he left his room.

"excuse me.." The king went inside.

Rachel smiled in greeting him. The king was forced to act ordinary. He immediately checked Echa.

"the conditions are good." The king touched Echa's tiny hand. "you feel well, don't you?" Soft question.

Echa pulled his hand. Putting on a face does not like, even though now the King is the doctor who examined him but the little girl still does not like.

The king smiled awkwardly. Turn towards Arfian and Rachel.

"so..Echa your daughter?" Ask the King to the Arfians.

I asked because it was too busy. Arfian nodded.

"humm..then your wife?"

Rachel felt that if the King's question now would cause trouble, she interrupted the conversation quickly.

"ah.iya, Haruka was here.Where is she now?"

"it's home."

The Rada who was silent stood up. Walk towards the King with his friendly face.

"so.you and Rachel know each other?" Ask. "good, so we can ask your doctor for help to continue.."

"can't." Arfian.

"why? wouldn't it be great if Rachel knew him, we could ask him for help at any time." Rada.

Arfian did not like the proposal given by Rada. Remember once, if Echa ever told him that there was a man who kept stealing glances at Rachel, it must have been the King.

Moreover, Arfian knows very well, if the King used to like Rachel very much and maybe even today the King still harbors that feeling.

The king who felt that the Arfian did not like his presence just smiled in a slant.

"You can ask for my help at any time." Said the King, handing his business card to Rada.

Rada, who did not know anything, received the business card with pleasure. Rachel looked at Arfian's face that turned cold, knowing that her lover must not like the King.

"sister Ar, Echa keeps looking at you." Rachel Whisper.

Arfian looked directly at Echa. Sure enough, the princess was staring at him. Arfian quickly changed his facial expression, smiled gently and approached him.

"honey, you feel better?"

"yes Daddy."

"good." Arfian kissed her forehead. "you see Rachel's sister, until her eyes are swollen from crying over you. you little brat." Pinched the tip of his nose.

Echa moved her hand towards Rachel.

"sister Rachel..."

"yes, dear."

"forgive me Echa?"

"humm.iya.here brother hug."

Rachel hugged Echa's body and Arfian hugged both of them. Rada smiled, feeling very happy to see the three of them. The sadness that she used to feel had been relieved by Rachel's presence.

Meanwhile the king turned his face away. Don't want to see everything. His heart was so hot that even his clenched hands were extremely strong.
