Enmeshed in Love
Chapter 87

All too late, both Arfian and Rachel feel guilty for not being able to fulfill Hanum's last request. Now both are in front of the mound of land that is still red. Rachel's hand rubbed the name on the tombstone with a broken feeling.

"Hanum, I'm sorry." Sluggishly.

Rachel really couldn't accept this fact. How he explained everything to Leon who still did not understand anything.

Will he understand when he is told that his mother is dead and now he will not be together again or will not even know what it means to go far forever.

Arfian stroking Rachel's hair. This is not his fault, but God has arranged everything. Seeing Rachel being so devastated by Hanum's departure made Arfian sad.

"Rahel, let's go back." Bring along.

"sister Ar, what should we say to Leon? we already told him we're gonna get him to meet Hanum. How's this?"

Arfian knew that not only was Rachel saddened by Hanum's departure, but she was even more riled up at the thought of Leon's feelings.

That little boy would not understand. What should they do later, Arfian still did not know.

Leon chewed his cotton candy quickly. I can't wait to see Hanum, her mother. Rega and Sena who guard it during Arfian and Rachel visit Hanum's funeral also feel very confused to do what's more.

There are various ways they do so that Leon no longer asks about Hanum. But, still the boy kept asking where Hanum was and why they kept asking him out like this. He misses his mother, wants to see her and embrace her.

"ombs..Aunty.. my candy runs out. Come on. We'll see your mother." He said with spirit.

Sena swallowed his saliva. How this is, he doesn't know what to say. Rega was so, confused what to do.

"Leon..." Arfian's call made the two sigh in relief.

They hurriedly handed Leon over to Arfian and left immediately. I can't bear to be around this boy.

Rachel immediately hugged Leon's body, crying loudly. Leon blinked his eyes, wiping away Rachel's tears.

"Tante Rahel why? Daddy's mad at Auntie?" Plain asking.

Rachel nodded quickly. Seeing Leon's innocent face made Rachel even more painful. Why would God give such a big test to a child, he thought.

Arfian closed his eyes, he wanted to cry to see Leon. But on his feet, he immediately walked inside.

"Echa, honey.. why?" Arfian was confused to see his daughter crying in Rada's arms.

"Daddy, is it true Leon doesn't have a mother anymore?" Echa's question makes Arfian see Rada.

"humm.mamah explained everything to Echa." Obviously, "but you can't tell Leon everything, he's too small, he won't understand."

Arfian. He immediately holds Echa, taking her out to meet Leon and Rachel.

"mommy-gates.." Echa called Rachel.

"oh.honey."

Leon was getting weird, why are these people crying.

"sister Echa crying..?"

"um..sayang. come with Daddy. let brother Echa and Aunt Rachel be together first." Arfian immediately led Leon inside.

"but..What's up with Auntie and Echa? they sad? a fight?"

Arfian smiled. "no. they haven't seen each other for a long time so cry."

"Leon didn't see you for a long time either. Leon misses mom.." Started whining back.

"dear.mother..." Arfian choked, unable to continue his words. He had to lie or say everything honestly.

"mother what?"

Rada who saw the difficulty Arfian also immediately approached him.

"here dear, grandma will explain." Rada grabbed Leon's tiny hand.

Leon walks in Rada's footsteps, leading him into the room. Arfian looked at him softly.

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

Chris just arrived at the airport. He smiled as soon as he got a message from his man, it was very fast for the man to work. Kris easily got the Arfian home address.

"wait sir..." Someone quickly approached him. "there's bad news." His report.

Kris stopped his steps, facing the man. The man he paid to look for Arfian's whereabouts.

"are you here? fetch me?"

"that's not it. I'm here because there are other interests, but, I saw Mr. Kris."

"aaah.. ls. tell me what bad news?"

"are you serious?"

"yes sir, this is the address where it's staying." Hand over a small piece of paper to Kris.

A slap for the man, hearing the truth about his ex-wife who is now gone. He immediately went to the place on the piece of paper.

"how can.." Mumbled.

His eyes were fixed on the tombstone that was engraved clearly Hanum's name there. Kris sat on the ground, his hands clenched tightly.

It hurt in the chest, why Hanum's departure made him so hurt. Doesn't he hate it, should he be happy right? that way he will easily get Leon without having anyone to stop him.

"why did you just leave without saying anything to me?"

Kris remembers his past with Hanum. He used to know that woman. Awesome and simple too.

But, a year of knowing him made Kris get the reality that made him hate Hanum until now.

The woman said lightly to her friends, deliberately trapping Kris to fuck her. Until finally a fetus grows in his womb.

Kris had to marry her because after all she did not want to ruin her family name. Because of Hanum, he was kicked out of the house. Because of Hanum, his right as heir was stripped away.

Kris clenched his hands tightly until his knuckles turned white.

"i haven't answered everything yet, why did you just leave without saying anything to me." Hisses.

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

"so.mom going far?" Leon still doesn't understand what Rada's saying.

The little boy was upset.

"why did mommy go? is it because it doesn't love Leon?" His cry began to break. "if Leon good mother back, right grandma?"

Rada bit her lips, unable to resist crying.

Grep...

Hugged Leon's tiny body tightly. Kissing his head long enough with his eyes closed. It was difficult to see this innocent boy who did not know anything had to lose his mother at a very small age.

"sister Ar, I can't. It's too cruel for a kid as small as Leon." Isaac Rachel, hugging Arfian's body.

Arfian was silent, he felt the same way. The two still faithfully stood in the doorway looking at Rada and Leon without any intention of going inside.

Echa looked up, watched everything. Her silent parents were also her grandmother who was hugging Leon. The little girl at least understood the current situation.

His little feet stepped inside.

"Leon.." Call slowly.

Leon smiled at Echa.

"sister Echa." But seconds later Leon cries back. "mother Leon is gone." His sister.

Echa grabbed Leon's hand. Grasping tightly. He asks Leon to come down and takes him out of the room. The three adults noticed what Echa was doing, walking behind her.

Right behind the garden of the house, Echa released her hand grip.

"Leon, remember that dragonfly we caught back then?" Ask.

Leon nodded his head.

"well, Leon's mother is like that dragonfly too." His word.

Arfian, Rahel and Rada cast incomprehensible gazes at each other. Why does Echa say that.

"so.Mother Leon is meeting god?" Leon's question made Rachel and the others stunned.

Echa nodded, pointing at a small mound with plastic roses on it.

"yes, like this, Mother Leon is below like this dragonfly."

Leon was speechless. "so..daddy a long break like the dragonfly?"

"later Leon's mother would come every night in a dream. Leon's mother met God to make Leon happy."

Leon nodded, hugging Echa's body. They hugged each other tightly.

Rachel couldn't hold back her crying anymore. Only a child can understand what Leon is feeling. Although Leon actually did not really understand if it meant death, but at least the boy knew that his mother would not come back.

Rada smiled softly at Echa who was stroking Leon's head. The girl was no longer spoiled, she looked so mature at the moment.
