Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 69

Hanum waited for Arfian until the man came home from work. All day just sitting in a chair and looking at Echa and Leon playing. While Rachel does some of her chores, cleaning the house and cooking because Arfian is about to arrive.

Seriously chopping meat, Hanum suddenly approached her.

"Rahel, can I help you? I was just quiet."

Rachel thought for a while and then nodded. Hanum quickly took the onions.

"i'll slice it."

"yes, there's the knife take it."

Hanum looks at his watch, knowing that Arfian will be home soon. He hurriedly did everything quickly without any instructions from Rachel. I didn't ask what the woman was going to do.

"why are you peeling the potatoes?" Rachel was surprised to see what Hanum was doing.

There were already 5 potatoes that he peeled, while the onions he did not touch at all.

"i thought you'd cook this too, because it's here." He said pretending to be guilty, "forgive me Rachel."

Rachel took a long breath. Arfian really does not like to see food ingredients that are discarded because they are not used. He had to turn his brain back.

Look at the chopped chicken and take the potatoes quickly. Steaming it for a while and then mixing it with the chopped chicken. Rachel never ran out of ideas about cooking.

Hanum is upset that his plan failed, he intends to make Rachel confused about what the potatoes will be, until when Arfian arrives there is no cooking produced. But apparently the woman was so smart.

About half an hour later, Rachel was sitting in the kitchen with Hanum.

Not so long they heard the voices of Echa and Leon who were shouting because they were happy that Arfian had come home. Hanum immediately pretended to do something.

"hums...Rachel, can I have a drink?" Her request.

"you can take it, right?"

"look.." Hanum immediately held the dishwasher sponge that had been given soap.

Sighing deeply, Hanum really made Rachel careless. This woman seems to be intentional. Angrily he walks to the table and gets Hanum a drink, but Hanum can wash his hands if he wants to drink and not have to ask Rachel.

Hanum immediately washed his hands and immediately picked up the spatula and stood in front of the stove. Coinciding with the Arfian who entered the kitchen.

No longer surprised to see Hanum there, because Leon said he was here with his mother.

"you're home? I cooked this for you." Said Hanum without the slightest embarrassment.

Rachel snorted, it turned out that it was the plan that Hanum had arranged. Looking at Arfian who seemed to not care about what Hanum said.

"Rahel, make me some tea." His request didn't care about Hanum at all.

Hanum clenched his hand, he would not give up so easily. Put everything on the table and immediately call Echa and Leon to come eat. He is like a house owner.

Arfian looked at Hanum not like it. Ever since knowing how cunning the woman made Arfian become difficult to trust him again. Glanced at Rachel who seemed to be as thoughtful as him.

"i know you made it all, right?" Arfian whispered as Rachel sat beside him.

Rachel smiled, it turned out that Hanum's attempt to make Arfian look back at her was not successful at all.

They also ate together. Leon and Echa ask in Arfian's bribe, Hanum who saw it began to feel if Arfian would definitely agree to what he wanted now.

Glanced at Rachel to say what she said last afternoon.

"sister Ar, I want to talk after the meal is over." Rachel.

After eating Rachel and Arfian together went into the room. While Echa and Leon remained in the midfield, back in play.

Hanum really did not like to see Rachel being treated so gently by Arfian.

"i'm sure Rachel won't say it." Hanum followed the two.

Knocking on the door of Arfian's room impatiently. Rachel who was sitting with Arfian stood up.

"i think Hanum wants to talk to Ar directly."

"that woman is too much drama."

"sister Ar, you better meet him first."

"humms.."

Lazily Arfian opened the door, went out to meet Hanum. While Rachel prepares a nightgown for him afterwards she immediately invites Echa and Leon to sleep.

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

Arfian invited Hanum to speak in the living room. Ask what the intention of the woman's arrival.

"i give you money not to be in debt. Because I promised I'd finance Leon." Arfian said after hearing the reason Hanum came to his house.

"but I can't take it for granted." Hanum still insisted on staying in this house, as a maid was no problem.

Arfian let out a heavy sigh. Stand up from his seat.

"i can't accept you working here. Go to sleep and you can come home tomorrow." His word.

Hanum really couldn't hold back his tears. Arfian was completely unable to accept it anymore even though it was just his friend or worker.

Seeing Arfian walk away leaving him just like that made Hanum even more devastated. All the ways he did, but it still didn't work.

In the room, Rachel patted Echa on the back to fall asleep. Leon who was on his right side was silent, the boy did not want Rachel to touch him because his mother said that this woman was evil.

"Leon, don't you want me to hug you?" Rahel asked as soon as Echa was asleep.

Leon just shut up. Doubt to say something. Actually, he really wanted to be treated like Echa, just afraid that what Hanum said was true.

That Rachel's a bad woman who likes to hit kids. Arfian wrestler until the man no longer visits Leon every day.

"it's fine if you don't want to." Wake up but Leon pulls his shirt.

His eyes said clearly that he also wanted to be like Echa.

Rachel smiled, removing Leon's hand from her shirt. Turning to face him then stroking Leon's head gently.

Slowly the boy closed his eyes when he felt comfortable. His fear just disappeared.

After the two fell asleep, Rachel came out. He was also very sleepy. Lazily headed for his room, knowing Hanum must have been there. Sleeping with Hanum might have been normal, but for now Rachel doesn't like it.

Hanum too often treats himself arbitrarily, now Rachel does not want it to happen again. Especially if it is about Arfian, it will definitely not give up again like the old days.

Now Rachel assures him that she must be better than before. Doing everything he never did before, including getting Arfian.

Arfian may have never looked at him but now he has chosen him. Rachel will defend everything. It won't be easily defeated by Hanum.
