Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 75

All the family members looked happy, especially Echa. From waking up, he immediately struggled spoiled on Rachel. Rada has explained everything, if Rachel is his new mommy. Of course Echa was happy to hear it, he did not stop calling Rachel as mommy.

"mommy, here." Invite him while pulling Rachel to sit next to him.

"mommy, try." Pouring a bowl of cereal that Sena made for him.

"honey, this is for you. Eat." Rachel scoops him and feeds him to Echa.

Arfian smiled at Echa who was so happy. He looked at his phone screen. Suck a little breath and then immediately go back to the room. Last night they arrived home so late, because Echa who kept whining wanted to go home so they did not stay at Rada's house.

Rachel who felt that Arfian was leaving immediately turned to look at him. He remembered not having prepared clothes for him.

"Darling, mommy get Daddy's work clothes ready first."

"yes mommy."

Arfian sat on the bed restlessly. Scratch his fingers and look back at his phone. The message on it made him unable to calm down. He knew her and could not ignore her. He added that Leon must be scared at this time because he was in the hospital with someone else.

"sister Ar, what's wrong?" Rachel rubbed Arfian's shoulders gently, picked up her phone and saw the message.

"so.. Hanum's in the hospital?"

"humm..would we go there? you know I hate him so much." Arfian rubbed his face rough.

Rachel smile.

"we went there together." Rachel's decision makes Arfian inevitably have to come along.

They also immediately prepared. In the hospital, Leon was in the lap of a man who looked very much like him, his face was the same.

The man stood up, greeting Arfian and Rachel.

"Hanum, ask me to send you a message. Are you Arfian?" His word.

"yes. what happened?"

"that afternoon I was going to take Leon. because I felt that I had abandoned my own son for too long, not thinking that I would find Hanum unconscious. Leon was crying loudly beside her."

Rachel held her breath, and so did Arfian. They just found out that Leon's father is alive and looks amazing. His posture was even extremely high beyond that of an Arfian. Only in terms of face, Rachel admitted that Arfian was more handsome.

"i brought her here, she just realized and immediately asked me to call you. You were her ex-boyfriend first, I know that." Continue the man.

Arfian was silent. Seeing Leon who seemed comfortable sleeping in this man's arms. They are indeed father and son, their faces are so similar that they look like a photocopied picture.

"just meet him once, maybe he wants to say something." Her request.

Rachel knew that Leon's father was alive, but didn't know that this man was so dazzlingly big. He was very calm as well as completely invisible like br*ngsek's man. During this time Hanum often recounts if her ex-husband is an irresponsible man is also very rude.

Why is it inversely proportional like this. Hanum who always looks cruel compared to this man.

"Rahel, why shut up. Let's go see Hanum." Arfian didn't want to see him alone.

They entered the room where Hanum was taken care of. The woman smiled faintly at the two. There was absolutely no anger or hatred from the look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the man who was talking to Arfian and Rachel immediately left by taking Leon with her.

"forgive me Hanum. My son will take me." Mumbled.

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

Echa frowned because she was not invited by her parents. It was placed on Rega.

"uncle, I want escrim."

"hey, this is already the 4th. lest, we buy grilled sausages."

Echa sulks, preparing to cry. That's the only powerful way that will usually make Rega succumb to obey everything.

"okay.we're there for a minute.there's a big balloon." Rega pointed at the balloonist who was across the street.

Echa of course immediately tempted especially when looking at the balloon shaped head of the banded cat. Rega immediately carried Echa and crossed the road.

Select the balloon you want Echa. As she was about to cross back Echa asked Rega to stop, the little girl waved her hand at Leon.

Apparently Leon was around where they were playing at the moment.

"uncle, that's brother." Appoint Leon.

The man fell silent, took a deep breath and forced Leon into the car. Even though Leon was fighting, he didn't care. Keep driving past Echa and Rega who are confused.

"why is Leon with a foreign uncle?" Ask Echa.

"how do you know, maybe it's his new dad, and his mommy's not Echa, maybe Leon's mom is looking for a new dad for him." Said Rega just guessing.

"like Daddy made sister Rachel mommy Echa, so?"

"yes, that's it. Let's just go home."

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

"forgive me Arfian." Hanum apologized sincerely. "Rahel, you're the best friend I've had all along."

Rachel shook her head quickly, touching Hanum's cold hand.

"Hanum, what are you really sick with?"

Hanum smiled, until whenever he would not tell anyone about his illness. Enough of him knew and felt how tormented he was.

"i'm just exhausted." He replied in a weak voice. "where is Leon?"

"she's out with your ex-husband." Reply Rachel.

Hanum immediately sat down quickly, holding onto Rachel's strong hand.

"no, don't let him be with Leon. Arfian help me, he'll take Leon away.please, don't let Leon be taken by him." Please Hanum with tears.

Arfian had no idea what was really going on, but seeing this kind of Hanum he was sure that the man must have said something to Hanum before.

He rushed out to see if the man was still there.

"sister, where did the man here go?" Ask a nurse who had been back and forth in Hanum's room.

"sorry sir, I didn't see him go anywhere."

Arfian immediately ran out to look, maybe he was in the cafeteria or some other place. Whirling around looking for the whereabouts of Leon and his father makes Arfian tired and eventually gives up.

Back to Hanum's room with a sluggish look.

"forgive me Hanum." Sluggishly.

Hearing that Hanum immediately cried, Rachel immediately hugged to calm down.

"he must have taken her away by now." His issue.

"actually where is he going? you know your ex-husband's house, don't you?" Ask Arfian.

Hanum shook his head slowly.

"he's been living in Korea all this time. It was said that Leon would be taken with him because his wife could not give him offspring." Hanum.

Arfian clenched his hands, however much he loved Leon. Thinking of him like a son to her, hearing him being utilized like this made her angry.

Why in the time of need was the man just looking for Leon. Arfian was really upset, if he knew it was going to happen like this then he would take Leon with him.

Rachel continued to hug Hanum's body.

"Hanum, calm down. Maybe they're still in town today."

"no Rachel, she has a private plane.it's impossible to stay here for long."

Just by hearing that Arfian and Rachel understood, it seemed like the man was not an indiscriminate person.

Hanum wiped the tears. He smiled sincerely at the ring on Rachel's ring finger.

"have you decided to get married?"

"hum.maybe next month." Arfian replied a little sniffly, afraid that Hanum would try to thwart him.

Hanum stroked Rachel's hand.

"i'm happy, congratulations Rachel." His words made Rachel frown. "don't look at me like that, I realize you're doing too much wrong. You're happy, I hope you can attend it if God allows."

Arfian smiled, this is what he wanted. Hanum understood and accepted as he wished. Without having to say hurtful words. This way there will be no more words to hurt each other.

Hanum took a deep breath.

"Arfian, if you can please tell Leon I love him." Hanum said then coughed so badly.

Rachel immediately shouted in panic calling the doctor. Hanum was still smiling despite the pain. His eyes slowly closed and his consciousness was gone.

Arfian hugged the crying Rachel. Must feel sad, they have been friends for a long time also live together. Rachel, of course, loved Hanum as much as her brother.

"how's doctor?"

"humm.. his condition is critical. the cancer in his womb is late stage."

Rachel started crying, never knowing that Hanum had been suffering all this time. This disease is very dangerous for a woman. Arfian was surprised, never expecting Hanum to hide everything so tightly.

Behind her selfish and rude attitude, this woman apparently had another side in her.
