Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 70

Arfian as usual, if you wake up in the morning immediately ask Rachel to make sweet tea. Sitting in front of the TV while watching the news. This habit has been going on since Rachel lived here. Everything is always prepared by the woman, even work clothes have been prepared. Arfian just put it on without having to bother looking into the closet.

Rachel put tea and bread in front of the Arfians. Sitting beside him while grabbing the remote he was holding.

"keep it. The tea will be cold."

"we're going for a walk today." Arfian said, take the tea and drink it a little.

"yes. wait for Echa to wake up, we have breakfast together." Rachel moved from her seat.

It's a holiday, Rachel doesn't have to rush to prepare breakfast. He walked to the kitchen and picked up some vegetables from the fridge.

Everything feels familiar to him, the location of kitchen furniture has been very memorized. Rachel really enjoyed every job in this house.

Hanum bit his lips, seeing everything clearly. Rachel and Arfian are like a couple of newlyweds. All Rachel did well, Arfian was even very comfortable with what Rachel did to him.

"mother.!"

Hanum's daydreams fell apart as Leon called out to him. Standing in front of her with teary eyes, like she was about to cry.

"what's the matter, honey?" Hanum asked worriedly.

Arfian who heard Hanum's voice immediately looked towards them. Watching Leon who looked down was scared with both hands behind his back.

"you're wetting the bed." Hanum exclaimed as he looked at Leon's wet pants. His voice rose because he was annoyed to see what Leon had done.

Hanum doesn't like it when Leon wakes up like this. He thinks it's very slovenly and that's not a good thing.

Arfian let out a long breath. Not liking to see it, he quickly released Hanum's hand grip from Leon's small hand.

"that's normal for a kid his age." Arfian took Leon away, "what kind of mother are you."

Swallowing his saliva, Hanum forgot that Arfian was near them. All because of Leon, Hanum involuntarily yelled loudly at his son.

Rachel frowned in surprise when she saw Hanum who entered the kitchen with a bad condition. The woman immediately gulped down the water quickly then sat down on the chair.

"what's wrong?" Rahel asked without stopping her activity of slicing vegetables.

"no." Answer Hanum ketus.

Rachel smiled faintly, not caring about him. Keep cooking regardless of Hanum's existence.

"you must feel like you won, right?"

Rachel's hand came to a halt upon hearing the question.

"i know, you must be happy that Arfian prefers you now, but just so you know, he needed a mother for his daughter."

Seeing the silent Rachel Hanum felt increasingly eager to heat up.

"Echa means so much to him, so he doesn't want his daughter to be lonely without a mother, you're just a tool." He continued. "again from the beginning I was the woman who was invited to marry him.you were just an impingement." Hanum wants to provoke Rachel's emotions.

Tak...

Rachel kept her knife very hard. Can't stand what he hears anymore.

"so.you think I'd be sad to hear all that?" Rachel looked at Hanum sharply.

"no Hanum. I'll never be able to step on again like I used to." Added.

The two women looked at each other in anger. Rachel is upset that Hanum just keeps saying things that don't make sense. It was clear that Arfian did not choose him because of his poor attitude.

"i think you better go home." Arfian.

The man stands at the door with Leon in his arms and Echa on the right. The two children had already taken a bath, Arfian who took care of both.

Hanum and Rachel immediately threw away her gaze.

"come home before I'm really mad." Banish Arfian. "Leon let me take you later."

Feeling humiliated, Hanum immediately ran away from the kitchen. Didn't even care about Leon crying out to her.

"daddy will take Leon home after we've planted the animals. How?" Persuaded it.

Leon's crying stopped. The boy agreed.

"is it okay, brother Ar?" Rahel asked worriedly.

"no. continue cooking, the kids must be hungry."

Rachel immediately continued cooking. Leon silently watched Rachel, the boy kept remembering Hanum's words.

"what's up Leon?" Ask Echa.

"bad lahel." Answer Leon plainly.

Arfian and Rachel looked at him puzzled as to why Leon had said so.

"brother Rachel is good." Echa disagrees with Leon. The girl glared sharply.

Leon hugged Arfian's arm in fear.

"the mother said. Leon subtly hates lahel's brother, if lahel's brother has taken Daddy. evil lahel's brother." Said with a lisp.

Arfian and Rachel exhaled. All because Hanum wrongly educated the child. How could that woman instill hatred in her son's heart.

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

Haruka sat down quietly beside the King. Remain silent even though the King asks him to speak. Haruka was still angry at him because the King was always playing with his heart.

"if Raja's sister does love Rachel's sister.we'd better break up. I'll tell my parents my sister's mother too." Haruka finally opened her voice.

The king took a long breath. He knows he is very wrong. Make Haruka like this.

"i'm sorry. I told you, didn't I? I'll forget Rachel and try to love you." The king touched Haruka's hand.

Haruka quickly pulled out her hand.

"i'm not sure about brother's promise right now." He said, "nobody reneged on the promise that used to be."

The king doesn't know what else to convince Haruka. This time he will completely forget Rachel. Seeing Rahel and Arfian at that time made him realize that the man who could make Rachel happy was only Arfian.

Seeing how Rachel's happy face while with Arfian made the King realize something. That smile he could never get.

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

Rachel opened the message she had just received. Smiling faintly at what the King had sent him.

Arfian snorted, peeking a little. Upset when he saw the name of the King on the screen.

"you want to date her?"

"no." Rahel replied while typing a reply message.

"we're going to zoo animals. are you going to cancel it?" Ketus Arfian. "the kids must be disappointed."

Rachel smiled hearing that. A jealous tone that was adorable to him. Arfian always could not resist the annoyance of every message or something related to the King.

"children or brother Ar?" Tempta Rahel while poking her arm.

Arfian screeched with a nervous face.

"no. for what, you think I'm a kid."

Rachel sniffed her shoulders. Waving a hand at Echa and Leon to get closer.

"here, we're leaving now." His word.

Arfian followed the three with a bright smile. His feelings are very good today. Didn't think that just going to the zoo just made him excited. Though his intention wanted to make Echa happy but in fact he was even so happy. It was clearly visible on his face.
