ENTANGLED IN ADULT LOVE
PRELIMINARY EXAM

The car carrying Lana has moved slowly leaving Arshlan and Her still standing upright next to Arshlan's car.

"Sir, are you sure you're going to do all this..?" her voice sounded from the left side of Arshlan.

Arshlan was throwing her breath rough. "Her.." called out to him in a cold voice.

"Yes, Sir?"

"Since when have you been so presumptuous as to dare to doubt the decision I have made?"

Hearing that Her was stunned. "Sorry, sir, I didn't mean to.."

Her speechless. He realized that this was indeed the first time he had been disrespectful by questioning what Mr. Arshlan had decided. But Her conscience couldn't help but question him.

Honestly, Her is indeed being doubted, you could even say not at all agree with Mr. Arshlan's decision.

Her could not imagine what Madam Lana would face after this, whether the snot girl could pass the initial exam impeccably.

While from the side of Mr. Arshlan, Her does not understand anymore.

Why does Mr. Arshlan refuse to be happy and choose to give up on what will happen, without intending to use all the power he has.. then it was certain that the man could get rid of anything that tried to block his way..

"Lana..!!"

"Mother..?"

Lana's body was immediately transfixed when she realized the presence of the middle-aged woman but still looked beautiful it had greeted her who had just come down from the car door opened by Assistant Jo.

"Lana, son.."

Lana's body was frozen, by the sudden embrace that enveloped her body.

It feels like a long time ago, Lana even forgot when was the last time Mom hugged her like this.

"Mom-Mom..Why did you get to be here..?" lana's voice slightly gasped, as soon as the woman's embrace unraveled.

"That's been three days in a row I come here every day, hoping to see you.."

Lana was a little stunned to hear that.

"Mother, let's just talk inside." concluded Lana while staring at Assistant Jo who is still standing behind her body. "Assistant Jo, I'll talk to Mom in the living room.."

Assistant Jo looks nodding. "Please Mistress.." said the man while looking down on his head.

She is Marina, the same age as Mr. Arshlan. But unlike the unpretentious Lana, her appearance looks like a socialite woman.

Lana had embraced the woman named Marina gently, taking her into her husband's magnificent palace.

In an instant, all the scenery that presented all that grandeur had made Marina's pair of eyes barely come out from her shell..

His mouth was open because he was shocked..

Lana was still staring at Marina in disbelief.

To be honest if what Marina said was true, then Lana was really happy to hear it. But Lana could not believe what she had heard, after a long time she had never met her mother and father.

"Lana, I know you can't believe it, but I mean it, I'm not with Beno anymore."

Lana breathed for a moment.

"Lana, please Mother. Right now I really don't have a penny.." Marina looks very moody and stuck.

"How come, Mom..? wasn't Mom's career very good in that famous lawyer's office..? I still work there, don't you..?"

"Mommy is still working, but the last two months the boss refused to pay his salary on the grounds of so many installment loans. Lana believe me, this time I'm not lying.." Marina's gaze looks very clear, making Lana feel even more pity.

Lana returned to her heavy breathing. Lana was even confused on how she could help Mom.

Indeed, in plain sight Lana is the wife of a wealthy Mr. Arshlan. The house is like a palace, with a spacious courtyard and a super large garage inside neatly lined with dozens of cars.

Her husband even has a lot of company, an island, a luxury yacht, a private helicopter, whatever the world has that Mr. Arshlan does not have, but still Lana is just a dock in the eyes of the man, who will not have everything, Lana is not even allowed to hold a mobile phone, or just watch cartoons on television.

"Lana, you're the only one who can help Mom. Beno has deceived Mom by taking over all the assets that Mom has and your dad can't help because just like Mom's misfortune, it looks like Mona has also bankrupted your father. Your father was in a lot of debt, but he was ashamed to complain to you and ask for help.."

Hearing all that without realizing Lana's tears dripped in the corner of her lake.

However, Lana's whole life even forgot when she was treated properly by Father and Mother, but all that could not blind her eyes that the one who was crying tears in front of her was her mother, and the man she says is in a state of bankruptcy due to the deceit of a snake woman named Mona is her father.

"Mom, I'd love to be of use to you but I don't know how I can ease all the problems..?"

"You have a rich husband, son. Things like this are nothing to Mr. Arshlan, your husband." whispered Marina with persuasive intonation.

"But, Mom.."

"Ask your husband's generosity to help your father and mother, son.." Marina had expressed her wish unabashedly. "Mom needs money and a place to live for a while, while your father needs capital to restore his business that went out of business.."

"Mom listen to me first." concluded Lana while squeezing the fretful hand of Marina who was in his grasp. "Mother, frankly I'm embarrassed to ask Mr. Arshlan for money. Moreover, Mother and Father had previously asked for money as approval when signing all the marriage emergencies the other day. I'm ashamed, ma'am, I don't want to beg you like that either.." Lana shook her head many times.

Really, Lana can't if she has to raise her hand for money. What will Mr. Arshlan's judgment be on him later..?

Marina accepts Lana's refusal.

Lana's right. Robi and himself at that time had asked for fifty million rupiah as a condition that they sign a letter of approval as parents.

Unfortunately the two of them never expected that Lana would be married by a great Mr. Arshlan, not a young man who came with a mediocre appearance the other day, which they consider to be the man who wants to marry Lana.

If you know Lana will be married by a Mr. Arshlan is certainly not only fifty million rupiah money they ask, but fifty billion rupiah..!

"I'm sorry Mom and Dad, Lana. At that time we signed a letter of approval because our hearts were angry. We are disappointed that you chose to rebel, leave the house, cut off communication, and after that a young man we did not know suddenly came with a proposal." Marina added with a sad look.

Marina looked at Lana again with a deep look.

"Lana do you know..? it is true that Mr. Arshlan married you with the written consent of Mom and Dad. But we both didn't think you'd marry an old man.."

"Mother.."

"Lana, you're so young, son, it's no wonder you're so easy.."

"No Mother. Don't say that." concluded Lana immediately.

Marina wanted to interrupt but urgently, as soon as she watched Lana's head that had shaken her head many times resolutely.

"Mr Arshlan never forced me to marry her, but me. I'm the one who's constantly chasing after Mr. Arshlan's love.."
