Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 68

Rachel couldn't sleep because of the incident last afternoon, the shadow when Arfian kissed her really made the woman could not forget. Her first kiss was given to the man she loved. Smiling faintly while touching her lips, it still felt until now.

So was Arfian, even though this was not his first time. But still, I can't forget it. Rahel's blushing face continued to flash in his mind. The woman had already turned the situation around now, the pain that Arfian felt was no longer a trace of her.

Arfian no longer remembers his dark past. There was only happiness in his heart.

Geck...Geck...

Rachel got up from her sleep, immediately opened the door. Rada stands with Echa in her sling.

"Rahel, Echa wants to sleep with you."

"come here." Rachel took over Echa.

"then Grandma will stay?"

"yes grandma."

"smart kid." Rada peeps Echa's forehead. "Rahel, tomorrow morning you'll be home."

"loh, why? you can stay longer, right?"

Rada shook his head. "no, now there's you taking care of Arfian and Echa."

"humm..iya.what are Rega and Sena as well?"

"yes. Rachel, try to call mamah not mother.however you are Arfian's future wife." Rada's voice embarrassed Rachel.

The woman nodded slowly. Rada smiled in satisfaction, then closed the door. Rachel carried the exhausted Echa, hugging the little girl tightly.

"good night baby, lovely bobo." Rahel's whisper, kiss Echa's cheek.

Echa no longer answered because she was asleep.

Rada was still standing in front of Rachel's room. Trying to look back on Echa's current state, open the door slowly for fear of intrusion.

Her heart warmed to see how Rachel who was embracing Echa and her grandson who was sleeping so peacefully.

"mom.." Sena approached Rada.

He was going to go into the kitchen to get milk, because Rega asked for it. Even though he was grumbling this afternoon because he was told to continue but still Sena did it until nightfall.

"see Sena, that woman is the angel that God gave to Echa."

Sena looked inside. Smiling faintly, agreeing with what Rada said.

"mom..." Sena stroked Rada's arm when she realized that her future-in-law's face was so sad.

Rada took a long breath.

"if my daughter hadn't done such a bad thing.."

"come on, you don't keep remembering that."

Sena knows that Rada still can't forget her daughter's figure. A mother's heart will be hurt when her child does something wrong. Rada always tries to do what is best for Arfian and Echa to make up for Rena's mistakes.

Sena closed the door to Rachel's room slowly, inviting Rada to go back into her room. Until he forgot his intention to take milk.

Rega looked back, snorting annoyed that Sena had not returned. He wakes up from his seat, trying to find Sena.

It clicked slowly as it saw Sena who was walking towards the room with Rada. Rega approached him immediately.

"why are you even here? I'll ask you to take milk."

Rada glanced sharply, took the glass in Sena's hand and gave it to Rega.

"make it yourself." He said. "ayo..Sena, stay asleep."

Rega exhaled a rough breath seeing Sena being dragged inside. He had to make it himself.

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

Hanum picks up his cell phone, photographing Leon lying on the bed. His son came back with a fever from playing outside all day. Maybe he had to do something in order to be reunited with Arfian.

"mother..."

"yes, dear."

Leon's whimper from last night did want to meet with Arfian. His son must have missed him so much.

"but baby..."

"not so." Leon shook his head quickly. He remembered Hanum's words at the parlour back then.

Don't ever miss that guy, you have to hate him. Afraid that her mother would get angry if she kept asking to meet with Arfian.

"mother said Leon subtly hates Daddy." Slowly flowed.

Hanum. It was true, he had asked Leon to dislike the man. Hanum just wants revenge on them, by doctrining Leon from childhood. Maybe when he grows up Leon will repay all his heartache.

But the woman thought back. If it was like that then there would be no one to finance his son, Arfian had already sent a lot of money yesterday to his ATM for Leon.

If Leon rejects everything Arfian gives, his life will be more difficult. Therefore, Hanum again planned to approach Arfian.

Get rid of Rachel quickly and attract the attention of everyone in the house. Especially Echa and Rada. Those are the only two people he has to control.

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

Rachel waved her hand, the house was quiet again because everything had gone home. Only he and Echa stay home because Arfian has left for work.

Echa squinted her eyes when she saw someone she knew standing outside the fence.

"brother Rachel wait."

Rachel stopped her steps to get inside.

"what's wrong?"

"that's...Leon.that's Leon brother." He was excited to see Leon.

Long time no see made him miss that little boy. Rachel approached him immediately. A little unhappy because Hanum was there.

"Rohar..." Hanum held Rachel's hand.

Rachel squeaked in surprise.

"forgive me. I've been wrong with you all this time." His issue.

Rachel felt bad because they were outside. Quickly bring Hanum and Leon in.

The woman cried and apologized to him. Rachel felt that if Hanum was planning something, it was impossible for the woman to apologize in advance. Very well-known for his attitude.

"honey, take Leon to the room? just play inside." Rachel asks Echa to bring Leon.

Those kids can't see things they shouldn't know. Rachel didn't want Leon to see her mother kneeling and crying like this.

After the two children left Rachel immediately asked Hanum to sit on the chair.

"what's wrong with you?" Rachel asked looking suspiciously.

Hanum wiped the tears.

"Rahel, I know it's been outrageous of you. Arfian loves you, I let him go now."

Rachel kept quiet, not understanding what Hanum said. Suddenly it was so understanding. Feeling increasingly suspicious that something is wrong with all of this.

"i'm only asking you one thing. Let me work here, I can cook, wash and do other things too." His love while continuing to cry.

"is the money that brother Ar gave you yesterday not enough?" Rachel asked Hanum to swallow her saliva.

Apparently Rachel knew about the money that Arfian transferred yesterday. What this woman is so precious now that even that little thing Arfian told her.

"that's not it. I just feel bad. Leon was not Arfian's son. We're just strangers, if Arfian keeps giving me money. I feel ashamed." Reason made sense, Rachel could not say anymore.

"i'll tell brother Ar later." Finally, Rachel had to try not to be suspicious.

Hanum may have realized by now. Understanding what happened, love does not have to be forced. Because the heart determines it.

Hanum smiled faintly. The plan seems to be working.
