Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 73

Arfian tries to find time to propose to Rachel. He wanted to marry her soon because he knew Rachel was no longer young. Women her age should have children. But, Rachel is still a girl to this day.

Rada gave her an idea. Rega also Sena helped prepare everything. The three of them asked Arfian to leave everything to Rada. Because Rada is the oldest person in the house. Must know which is best for Rahel and Arfian.

"you just work, let us take care of everything." Rada.

"but, will Rachel agree?"

"you're this, it's obvious he loves you isn't it? why are you so scared."

Arfian sighed.

"fine, find a nice ring."

"yes. now Rachel is dropping off Echa at school, right?"

"yes, 10 o'clock they're home."

Rada watch the clock. In half an hour Rachel and Echa will be home, if decorating the house and looking for a ring today is impossible. Rada looked at Rega who had just been quiet.

"tumben you didn't express your opinion?" Cetus Rada's.

"hehe.I was just thinking.what if we decorate the garden in the house mamah only. humm.begini..." Rega told me his brilliant idea.

Arfian smiled with satisfaction, strongly agreeing with Rega's plan which he thought was very good. He soon got up from his seat.

"alright, then I'll go back to the office.all I leave to you."

"yes, you take it easy." Rega gave his thumbs up.

Arfian returned to his workplace. Hoping that if her plan would work out perfectly, Rachel would receive this surprise.

Rada immediately asked Sena and Rega to buy some flowers, balloons and other decorations. While he went to the gold shop to find a ring.

Everything was sudden, but Rada was already an expert at this. Do not underestimate his age is not young anymore, he still has a high spirit can also be relied on in this case.

"let's go up." Rega thrusts a helmet at Sena.

"no. I'm taking a taxi. You're taking a motorcycle with no rules, like having nine lives." Sena refused Rega's invitation.

Already caught in the bonceng by that handsome man. Rega pulled his hand, forcing Sena to keep going up.

"i promise I'll take her slowly."

"can't believe."

"humm.oke.you just take a taxi." Rega began to get upset.

This was the flaw in him, Rega was very much different from Arfian who always gently treated a woman. But Sena still liked the man. For him Rega was everything although it often made him upset and angry.

Ckkii...

Rega braked his motor. Take a deep breath. Looking back, Sena was still standing there waiting for the taxi that was on her message.

"the stubborn woman." Hiss Rega.

Turning back the bike and stopping right in front of Sena.

"want what else?" Ask Sena.

Rega breathed a rough breath. This time he had to give up, parked his bike in front of the house and stood next to Sena.

"we'll just take a cab." His word.

Sena smiled. Rega was not as selfish as he thought. Childish-faced man seems to know how to win the heart of a woman.

"if this is going to be good." Sena.

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

Rachel felt a little uncomfortable because right now Rena and Ben were sitting in front of her. They met him intentionally. As soon as Echa entered the class they immediately approached Rachel and invited her to talk.

"so.you guys..." Rachel couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Rena told me everything. About who he is and Ben, and who Echa's parents really are. Rachel was very surprised to hear that.

"yes, Arfian loved her so much that he knew that Echa was not his daughter. But, please, let us meet Echa. Just once, you can persuade him right?" Ask Rena very much.

Rachel doesn't know what to do. Arfian once asked him not to do anything beyond his command when it came to Echa. Even Arfian said keep Echa away from strangers because the little girl is always uncomfortable.

But, if Rena and Ben are her parents that means they are not strangers. His mind continued to argue, Rachel felt doubtful.

"but.." Rachel was confused.

"you must understand, I'm his mother. You know, a mother's heart misses her daughter?"

"i know. It's just, hearing from your stories like Echa wasn't close to you, and you said Arfian forbade you from meeting him because it asked me for help...."

"Hide everything from Arfian." Ben says.

Rachel is getting riled up. What should he do now. Either agree to his request or ignore it.

"class is over soon, right? let us meet for a moment." Pinta Rena's.

Rachel felt increasingly angry. Does he have to approve. What if Arfian finds out.

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

Rada has decided to buy a blue-eyed ring. Very simple but looks luxurious. Sure enough if the choice will be liked by Rachel.

"this one is all."

The shopkeeper wrapped it up. The price is not kidding, but because Arfian who has given his ATM card so Rada should not be afraid not to be able to pay.

The old woman came home soon. Who knows, Rega and Sena have returned from their shopping.

The clock shows at 12. They immediately prepare everything, Rega decorates the garden and Sena cooks for dinner. They will create a surprise that Rachel will never forget.

Arfian has been contacted, he will be home soon to prepare everything. I hope the plan will be very good.

Meanwhile, Rachel was worried about her decision. Seeing Echa holding her arm so tightly was like a fear towards Rena and Ben.

The little girl held back her tears. But, Rena still insisted on wanting to hug him.

"i don't think you can force it." Rachel doesn't feel good forcing Echa like this.

Rena remained steadfast. Even pulling Echa's hand closer. Ben was just silent, because he thought what Rena did was not a mistake. It's her right because she's her mother.

Echa also succeeded in hugging. At first it broke down and cried, but slowly it began to take hold. Rena's hug somehow felt very comfortable. Even Echa subconsciously returned her embrace.

Ben and Rachel stand watching how the mother and son embrace each other.

"thank you so much Rachel." Rena is very happy because she can finally embrace Echa. "you're a very good girl. Take care of my daughter, I believe you can definitely do it."

Rachel nodded. The first time she met Rena was in the hospital, she was so angry when Arfian told her she was Echa's mother-to-be. It was unexpected that the current person standing before him was the same person as back then.

Now Rena was so gentle there was also no anger in her gaze. It just looks like such a big sadness. Rachel feels that if Rena is a good mother, it's just that it might be the circumstances that make her that way.

In the distance, Arfian clutched tightly onto the steering wheel of the car. Unexpectedly he will see everything, when going to Rada's house on the road a little jammed. Arfian chose to stop for a while, buying some fruit not expecting to see Rachel as well as the two people he had not met for a long time was talking in front of a cafe.

Increasingly surprised to see Echa in Rena's embrace. Arfian immediately drove his car quickly away from the place. Pretending to see nothing. He wanted to know what Rachel would say later, would she say everything or even lie.
