ENTANGLED IN ADULT LOVE
11. TRACES OF THE PAST

"The view is fantastic, and also romantic".

A gentle whisper of Arshlan accompanied by a warm breath of the man touched Lana's nape.

Lana nodded. Arshlan was right, because of the view of the gondola that drove through the narrow canals, with brick-red roofed houses lined up next to them and unique local restaurants they have always encountered in the last three days is truly an incredible sight.

Arshlan gifts in the form of a honeymoon in Venice with love was almost over without feeling, but Lana believes that someday she will always miss all the typical atmosphere in the place she stands today, all of which have been so intense in the last three days.

After working hard to persuade Arshlan to stop the morning activity so hot, this afternoon, for the last time Lana and Arshlan back down the beauty with the fingers are linked, crossing various forms of bridges that connect canal by canal, entering pretty little alleys, stopping at cafes selling snacks and ice cream, entering the souvenir shop that sells masks that are often used when the carnival of venice, continue to walk until they arrive at the courtyard of Piazza San Marco, the capital of the city, a large field surrounded by souvenir shops and glass crafts.

Arshlan smiled happily as she watched Lana's cheerful laughter as her pair of eyes caught a flock of birds perched in the courtyard of Piazza San Marco, especially when there is a man who looks reached into his pants pocket and took out a handful of grains to give to the birds as food.

"Are you not willing to feed the birds either...?"

And Arshlan didn't insist on seeing the girl's head shake. Arshlan's wide footsteps remained loyal swinging, continuing to follow wherever a pair of legs Lana who stepped even rarely ran around cheerfully.

Arshlan smiled inwardly as she realized something.

That at a time like this Arshlan felt like there was no difference he was looking after Luiz and Leo.

In reality Lana is very young, often childish, but because of all that Arshlan loves the woman who has given herself the meaning of love in life, as well as the handsome twin sons as the fruit of proof of their love both.

"I love him very much and will hold his hand until the end of my life..."

Unknowingly Arshlan had muttered softly, regretting the pledge wholeheartedly, accompanied by a gaze that never separated from the figure of Lana.

Arshlan's pair of legs continued to follow the girl's carefree footsteps with her long steps before finally...

"Arsh...? is that you...?"

Arshlan was stunned to hear the dubious call coming from behind her back. That voice sounded so familiar to him.

"You?"

When Arshlan turned around, she was completely shocked to realize who the woman who was standing right in front of her was.

With his tall body and facial lines that do not change much after about four years never again meet.

That woman is Maura.

I don't know what address made Arshlan so happen to meet the woman on her last day in Venice.

"God... Arsh, that's right. You're Arshlan, and I can barely recognize you...!"

Arshlan immediately retreated backwards swiftly while Maura was about to scatter his familiar clumsiness.

"Maura. sorry.." Arshlan's hand was raised as a blatant form of her refusal that she did not want to be touched.

Maura's body peeked to find the reality, as if it had just realized the reality that had slapped him again

His heart was even pinched, given that since four years ago, even at the last chance he had to part with the man, Arshlan still firmly rejected himself.

Maura gave a small laugh, trying to throw away her vision that was about to fog.

Pijar longing is clearly visible in Maura's lake, and Maura does not even try to hide all her feelings before Arshlan.

"How are you doing...?" arshlan said trying to mince words, to remove the sense of reluctance that was struggling on the side of his heart.

"As you can see, at least I'm still breathing..."

Arshlan tried to chuckle in order to compensate for Maura's gloomy face. "You're too dramatizing. Hasn't your boutique developed rapidly over the past four years...?"

"You're following his progress as well...? I guess after giving it to me, you don't care at all..."

Arshlan. He knows that Maura is shedding his disappointment, because in fact, four years ago after the boutique in Milan officially changed hands on behalf of Maura, he said, Arshlan had made Maura very difficult even though it was only to contact her via phone.

Well, Arshlan has shut down all access for Maura, Siska, Marina, Robi, as well as anyone who has a past trace with her and Lana's life.

Especially after the accident that made Lana had been in a coma for several months, Arshlan really has put a trace of their past both far beyond the wheels of her small family life.

Love and happiness with Lana and the twins Luiz and Leo, are the priorities of Arshlan's life greeting. For Arshlan, nothing is more important than that.

"Oh yeah, Arsh.. Then what are you doing here...?"

Hearing Maura's question made Arshlan jump, only to realize that he had forgotten someone very important even if only for a moment.

Arshlan's head reflexes had looked back and forth but the figure she was looking for was not visible as far as her eyes could see.

"What's up, Arsh...? are you with someone...?" maura asked as she watched Arshlan's bewildered face

"Lana...?! Lanaaaa...?!"

Arshlan had been shouting out calling Lana's name over and over again, this time she didn't even care anymore about the presence of Maura who was becoming baffled, looking at Arshlan who was running around here and there shouting Lana's name many times with a deathly pale face.

"Arsh.. calm down, Lana must be around..."

"Lanaaaa...?!"

Arshlan seemed to not heed Maura at all, as well as the response of the people around them who were astonished by her panic.

Arshlan's heart was filled with regret when she realized that since she had spoken to Maura, she had now lost track of her own little wife.

Seeing Arshlan's increasing panic made Maura desperate to hold Arshlan's arm. "Arsh... wait! calm yourself..."

"Shut up, Maura...!!" hardik Arshlan was loud, making Maura jerk, not expecting Arshlan to shout at him violently in public.

"It's all because of you...!!" point at the man with a furious face.

"Arsh.." Maura's pair of eyes looked increasingly soaked.

"Listen well Maura, if anything happens to Lana, I swear I won't forgive you...!!"
