Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 71

Echa and Leon run around as soon as they reach the zoo. They are very happy to see all kinds of animals. Echa ran to where the monkey was. Leading Leon carefully, Arfian and Rachel just walked along following the two.

"Daddy, monkey.." Echa is happy.

"iya Daddy's a monkey." Leon was no less happy. This was the first time he had seen such a cute animal.

Arfian frowned, why was the impression like he was mocking himself. Rachel held back her laughter, then squatted between Echa and Leon.

"that's right, Daddy's got a monkey." His words justify the sentence spoken by Echa, especially Leon.

"don't be so bad." Arfian cried to Rachel.

"hahhaa.what? I just confirmed the words."

Arfian rolled his eyes. Apparently visiting a place like this makes his pleasure fade. Just looking at the animals, Arfian was bored.

Had thought that the streets this time would be romantic, walking side by side with Rachel and then the two children walked in front of them. In fact, what he imagined was far from expectations. There was Rachel busy taking care of the two boys, running around here and there forgetting her whereabouts.

"cckk. It looks like next time I have to leave Echa." Hisses.

Breathing tired, following those who are so active really drains his energy.

"Rahel, I'll just wait here." He said while sitting on a wooden chair under a large tree near the giraffe cage.

"alright." Rahel replied, "let's see the elephant now." Shouted Rachel spirit.

Arfian shook his head. Rachel was never tired, she was always excited.

They went around long enough. Until Echa and Leon feel hungry too thirsty. Fortunately, Arfian had bought snacks and bottled drinks while on the road.

A short rest seemed to be enough for the two boys. Rachel smiled faintly opening the message on her phone.

"who?" Arfian asked, unwrapping a packet of potato chips, and gave it to Echa and Leon.

"King." Reply Rachel.

Arfian's face instantly turned sour. Rachel is still in contact with the handsome man, according to Arfian.

"he's at the entrance." Rachel's words make Arfian tickle.

"what? what's for?" Ask Arfian.

Looks like his holiday will feel worse with the presence of the doctor.

The king handed over two passes to the guard. Attracting Haruka who felt lazy to enter because she did not like animals so much. Let alone a large-sized animal, so frightening to him.

He was forced to come here because the King forced him. The man said that if he was going to show her anything, that she and Rachel were nothing. And the king no longer wanted to defend his love. The man will change Rachel's name to Haruka in his heart.

"why should I come here too?" Haruka held tightly to the King's arm.

The sounds of various animals intertwining made him feel afraid.

"because Rachel is here." The king stroked Haruka's hand. "don't be afraid, hold it. I won't let go." He stuck his right hand at Haruka.

Slowly Haruka held onto it, they walked with fingers clinging to each other.

Not long after they finally met. Arfian snorted at the King who was smiling kindly at Rachel.

"have you turned into a veterinarian." Her lips.

"sir Ar." Tegur Rachel's. "Haruka, you look uncomfortable."

"humm.I don't like animals." Answer slowly.

Rachel smile. "Echa and Leon really like it."

"yes, I love monkeys." Answer both compact.

Haruka looks at Arfian and then Rachel.

"they're just like us." King's Whisper.

"so.sister King.."

"you're the only woman in my heart now."

Haruka blushed. This woman is very young, not very experienced. The king was the first man close to him. The first love is also the first one in his heart.

Arfian only realized that from the hands of the King and Haruka holding each other. Glancing at the seemingly ordinary Rachel, the woman was still busy with Echa and Leon.

"you..." Arfian looked at the King. "a pair of lovers?"

Arfian was so relieved to hear that. Just think no-no. Unknowingly he smiled so widely.

"why? you look happy?" Ask King.

"hhhhh.no." Arfian hurriedly changed his facial expression. "Rahel, take the kids.we'd better get some food."

"let's have kids. You're hungry, aren't you?" Rachel led them both.

Haruka was very happy to finally be able to quickly get out. They decided to find a restaurant.

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

Rena pondered, looking at her reflection in the mirror wearing a wedding dress. It's her wedding day with Ben. But no family was present.

Her parents or Ben aren't around. Rena really wants to cry, on a happy day even so sad.

Rihanna has been abroad for a long time. The woman left knowing that Arfian already had someone of her choosing. To eliminate his disappointment he chose to go far.

"honey." Ben hugged Rena from behind.

"we're finally getting married. But.why does it feel so sad." Lirih Rena's.

"do you want to meet Echa?" Ask Ben.

Rena took a deep breath. Of course he wants to meet his daughter. But, not sure Arfian would allow it. Echa doesn't remember it anymore.

Ben was very understanding of Rena's feelings. Hugging him even tighter gave him strength.

"cry." His whisper.

Rena was crying hard. His heart is so sick. Everything was like a nightmare to him.

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

Echa touched his chest. Pulling Rachel's hand fast.

"Sister." Call her.

"what's the matter, honey?"

"why does Echa's chest taste weird." The little girl suddenly cried.

Arfian came straight to him.

"what's the matter, honey?" Ask worried.

"Daddy. Echa feels weird." His issue.

The king put down his spoon. Then immediately move from his seat.

"breathe deeply and then exhale slowly." He asked for space for Rachel.

Echa looked at the King doubtfully. Looking at Arfian, as the man nodded his head Echa immediately did as the King commanded. Do it over and over again until they feel better.

Arfian and Rachel are really worried right now. Meanwhile Leon is put on the bench by Haruka. They're at the restaurant right now.

"what's better now?" Ask the King gently.

Echa nodded slowly.

The king stroked his head, smiling gently at Echa. The little girl just kept quiet.

"thank you very much." Arfian immediately carried Echa.

"hum.your daughter just feels uneasy. You better take him around first." King's Advice.

"alright." Rachel stroked Echa's back. "honey, where are you going now?"

Echa shook her head. The king took a long breath. Problems like this are common to children his age. His emotions were still unstable and he could not understand his feelings.

"then what if we play kiddy.there's a slide." Fresh King.

Echa hugged Arfian's neck tightly. "yes." Answer slowly.

Leon was silent from earlier because he was busy eating in a bribe by Haruka. The boy was very happy because he rarely ate such good food.
