ENTANGLED IN ADULT LOVE
BETWEEN LONGING

Secretly Marina glanced at Lana who was sitting at her bedside. The girl was sitting quietly two fingers busy knitting twine turns.

If you look at the movements, it seems like Lana has just learned this. It was evident from how often he stared at a book called 'Knitting Guide For Beginners'.

Just two days living in this magnificent house, there are many things that make Marina stunned.

Since when did Lana, her rebellious daughter was interested in knitting activities like today..?

Hasn't the girl been just a hobby of wandering around not knowing the jungle with her best friend named Siska, a wild girl who has been a mecca of Lana for so long..?

And if Lana is at home, don't Lana just like to shut herself in the room while tuning house music..?

For her entire life, Marina had never seen Lana do anything useful, let alone knit a thread like this..!

Lana's nature had changed by a hundred and eighty degrees in a short period of time.

"Last noon your father met Mom in the office."

Marina decides to open her voice to break the silence, when she realizes that Lana is not talking, she is busy with her activities.

"Your father wants to see you, but he seems very embarrassed."

This time Lana looks up her face. His two hands were still holding the needle and the wool thread he put on his lap.

"Why should you feel ashamed..? You can come at any time if you want to see me."

"I told you, but maybe your father needs time to set his heart to see you with confidence. Lana, your father is so ashamed that he didn't come to be your guardian at your wedding.."

"Mom, tell Dad, I've completely forgotten all that.."

Marina nodded. "Have Mom said. And so is the five billion dollar bill. I told your father everything."

"I hope you're happy to hear that. Sorry ma'am, I can only help with such a path. Mr. Arshlan wants the money given two weeks later.."

"It's okay, Lana. There's no need to force Mr. Arshlan too hard. As long as your husband is willing to give you the money, Father and Mother will be patient in waiting. After all, only waiting two weeks right.." Marina's face looks radiant when imagining being able to get half of the money given by Lana to vacation with Beno abroad.

Well.. Beno, the man in droves who is secretly still Marina's lover, has called Paris the main goal of the initial mission in order to spend the money that Mr. Arshlan will give.

While Mona, Robi's lover, her ex-husband, has successfully seduced Robi into visiting Korea, dreaming of visiting Bighit Entertainment to meet BTS members who are the girl's idols.

"Oh yeah Lana, why hasn't Mr. Arshlan come home yet..?" marina asked again when she noticed the clockwork of the wall that had been showing almost nine o'clock in the evening.

What the man said this morning turned out to be true, because Mr. Arshlan really did not come home at lunch, also missed dinner time, he said, so Marina just had dinner with Lana alone.

"Yet, Mom.." Lana seems to put all the knitting equipment into a medium-sized rattan basket, which becomes a container of her knitting equipment.

"Does Mr. Arshlan always come home late at night..?" asked Marina again with great curiosity.

"It's late at night, and sometimes it doesn't come home at all." answered Lana honestly still busy arranging the contents in the rattan container one by one.

"You.. You're not curious about everything your husband does out there..?"

"I'm honestly curious. But it might still be better if I don't know anything.."

"Lana.. you're this.. Do you really like Mr. Arshlan..?"

Lana smiled brightly. "Not only do I love you, but I really love you.."

"Then the eyes of your heart are closed in love..! you don't even mind living like a prisoner. Are you sure Mr. Arshlan loves you as much as you love?"

The last sentence Marina was able to stop for a moment the motion of Lana who had risen with a rattan basket in hand.

Lana had been staring fixedly at Marina, with a gaze that was hard to decipher what was entrenched in her depths.

"Maybe not. or. not yet.."

Marina was stunned, not expecting that Lana's answer was like that. Very honest.

Though Marina had thought Lana would answer her arrogantly to show off that she was the lucky girl that Mr. Arshlan had chosen to be his rightful wife, among the women vying for the position.

"Lana, I'm sorry that you were so presumptuous. But I have to remind you of one thing, that you better get ready from now on.."

"Lana, once again sorry.. I do not know, the motive behind Mr. Arshlan so desperate to marry you. Not that I underestimated you, Lana, but in reality there are so many women out there chasing after Mr. Arshlan's love, and there are so many women who have also been with Mr. Arshlan. Then why did he have to choose you..? there must be something to challenge him..!"

'Could it be because I kept chasing after him, but never wanted to give me something I considered most valuable..?'

Lana was heartbroken, but her mouth was always locked.

"There must be a reason for Mr. Arshlan to choose you, Lana. That's why please listen to my advice. Before Mr. Arshlan gets really tired of you, ask for something useful for your future. Don't do anything stupid, just sit still, and keep waiting for him while knitting..!" sindir Marina, blatantly glanced at the rattan basket that was in Lana's grasp.

"Mother, it's late, I'd better get back in the room. You also have to rest because tomorrow morning you also have to work, right..?" lana concluded while enduring the pain in her heart because of the series of Marina sentences that seemed to stab her heart. "Good night, Mother.."

Lirih Lana lowered her head, she rushed aside and stepped out of the guest room Marina occupied, choosing to walk up the stairs to go to the second floor with a giant step.

Lana only smiled at a glance as she watched Assistant Jo's figure standing not far from there, facing fully towards the door of Marina's room where Lana came out from.

XXXXXX

'Which woman does not want to be loved wholeheartedly, by the one she loves..?'

Lana is like that too.

At first he was so optimistic and his determination flared up, that he could get Mr. Arshlan's heart easily, provided he had genuine love, endless patience, and could please the man.

But the more days Lana's confidence seems to wear out, even though Lana continues to try to get a place in the heart of Mr. Arshlan, in fact the man is only good when they are together and making out.

The rest.. Mr. Arshlan seemed uninterested in anything about him, let alone missed him..!

'Is it because I really am not equal to Mister..?'

'Am I really useless as his wife and can make Mr. Arshlan proud..?'

'I've even given myself the whole thing, but it doesn't seem like it's worth it..'

'Is it because I'm less patient..'

'But after going through all this, is there any guarantee that I will not be removed one day..?'

Lana continues to monologue in her heart.

After putting a wicker basket filled with knitting equipment on the table, Lana sat down, on a soft sofa that was in a room that was very spacious thick dark nuances.

Almost all the furniture and room decor is in mysterious black, which combines with a little white or gray which both are not even dominant.

The atmosphere of the room seemed to reflect the dark side of a real Mr. Arshlan.

"Master, I miss you.." Lirih Lana was full of longing, while rubbing a crystal in the corner of her eye.

Lana bent down to reach for a simple pattern of scarves that began to form at the ends.

Appreciable.

Because in a day Lana has managed to make the first step on her knitting, even though just last afternoon Jo Assistant brought all the knitting equipment he asked for, to fill the free time that is often wasted.

"I cannot be weak and I will endure all this pain. In order that someday if Master does not want me anymore as Mother said, I must also be willing if you will ask me to leave.."

Lana had pledged her resolve, with the fingers back dancing with needles and threads. His facial expression looks sad.

While the night is getting late..

And silence continued to embrace Lana's silent heart..

Among yearnings..

There is also uncertainty about tomorrow..
