ENTANGLED IN ADULT LOVE
16. SOFTEN HEARTS
This afternoon Arshlan was deliberately home quickly, because his work is currently no deadline, because if you have a little free time, Arshlan always chose to spend time with his small family.
As is the case today, where he and Lana sit back on the side porch, enjoying a cup of coffee and a light snack, while watching Luiz and Leo play ball with a few bodyguards.
"I haven't seen Marina in almost a week. Is there something I missed ...?"
Lana smiles at Arshlan's question that suddenly ripples between the activities of those who witness Luiz and Leo's cuteness.
It didn't feel like four months had passed since Arshlan allowed Marina to re-enter their lives, and from then on Marina had been visiting Lana and the twins regularly.
Almost every day Marina always came to Arshlan's house just to meet Lana and the twins, not infrequently Marina also brought souvenirs such as fruits, toys and chocolates, as a hand to Luiz and Leo.
Apparently after returning, Marina chose to do business in the fashion world by distributing branded bags that are foreign products, and, what he got from some acquaintances when he became an impromptu sultan through a suitcase of Arshlan amounted to one billion rupiah four years ago.
Lately Marina is also often preoccupied by the association of socialite women who have mostly become customers. But even so, he always took the time to meet Lana, Luiz and Leo.
So far the woman's attitude is monitored normally in the eyes of Arshlan, so secretly make Arshlan a little wonder because it has not found suspicious movements from Marina.
Has Marina really changed?
Could be.
But, of course Arshlan couldn't trust Marina as easily as turning the hand.
"Tumben once you cared about Mom?" lana replied with the same smile, even though Lana saw Arshlan mengengos hear his words.
"I was watching Marina, not because I cared. But because I'm wary of his every move.
"Lately the attitude of mothers is very different ..."
"really?" arshlan's sentence still sounded far from friendly. "Lana, do you know? I don't want to be cheated on by your mother anymore."
Hearing Arshlan's extremely pessimistic sentence, Lana instead shook her head many times. "God, baby .. Why do you always suspect mom? Don't you see how mom has changed so far?"
Arshlan looked at Lana with a cold gaze, but Lana ignored him.
"Darling, even the three months you've given us about our secret deal are over. Four months have passed .. shouldn't you have given up ...?"
Arshlan laughs at Lana's words.
Lana was right. Four months is the period of time that has become his agreement with Lana.
Arshlan was too convinced that the theatrical mask on Marina's face would be removed in less than three months, but in reality, Marina did not act as Arshlan had predicted. Even the woman looks more and more show a good attitude from day to day.
But then again, Lana may be lulled by Marina's kindness but not by Arshlan.
As usual though it looks active and often makes mischief but Leo's attitude looks more wellcome with the presence of Marina. Leo always seemed excited to find all the gifts brought by Marina, in contrast to Luiz who remained cold as usual.
Luiz always showed an attitude that could not accept Marina's presence to be closer to her, as hard as Marina tried.
"Maybe because now you're asking about mom, then you're in luck."
"What do you mean?" both of Arshlan's eyebrows are real when he realizes Lana's strange speech accompanied by a smile that seems mysterious, but mixed with nosy expressions.
"The last few days I couldn't come here because I was out of town."
"Why did Marina go out of town ...?"
"Still in the framework of the business of buying and selling bags that seem to have good prospects. There's a friend of the famous boutique owner's mother over there, and she wants you to be the supplier of branded bags in her boutique."
Then Lana smiled as she looked at Arshlan.
"Mother just came back this afternoon, and the plan this afternoon is mom's coming. Maybe in a minute ..."
"Cihh, so that's what you mean by my luck will come ...?" Arshlan had glared in annoyance, making Lana unable to hold back her laughter that had broken just by finding the cobbled face.
"Honey, you have to keep your promise." said Lana then still with a laugh left at the corner of the lips.
"What did I promise?"
"Four months ago you said that if in the space of three months the mother proved to have changed, then you also have to change your attitude and try to accept the presence of mother little by little ..."
"I don't remember ever promising that." Arshlan said indifferently, pretending to forget.
"True men, never break a promise."
"Hhhh ...! What am I lacking so that I cannot be a real man in your eyes ...?!"
Lana is seen shifting her seat to be docked with Arshlan's body that smells oceanic. Hugged Arshlan's arm, then landed a few irregular kisses along the stocky arm, before whispering softly...
"No. Nothing is lacking, my dear. That's why I really believe, you want to soften your heart .. for mom ..."
