ENTANGLED IN ADULT LOVE
A DIFFICULT DECISION

Ig @khalidiakayum

Long after Lana's cries subsided, Arshlan was still speechless, only her fingers continued to rub Lana's back as hiccupping.

Arshlan had not even had time to invite Lana to talk, but it seemed that Lana's heart was very sensitive.

It turns out that all this time, the girl was silent not because she did not realize it..

Lana was even able to read all the attitudes of Arshlan who tried to distance herself from the beginning. Perhaps only one thing Lana doesn't know is that in fact, Arshlan finds it much harder than she is.

Something that even Arshlan can't explain. That is a blend of anxiety and distrust, which has collaborated uniquely with a sense of longing and want to continue to have.

Really, it was a strange blend of flavors, yet to Arshlan it was terrifying..!

Arshlan had made a difficult decision, when it was hard to give up. Decide everything based on logic, not feelings. With his current age no longer young, Arshlan felt too old if he had to act with the name of feeling.

For Arshlan, the future of Lana is everything, the thing that he needs to prioritize as a form of all the feelings that exist in him.

Lana's future is still long, and Arshlan wants the best. Arshlan had even removed all the thorns from the girl's life first, in order to make Lana live her life well in the future.

Maura.. Siska. then Robi and Marina.

One important thing that Arshlan wants, in the future Lana must learn not to easily trust everyone.

This world is cruel. Sometimes we do not even know that our enemy is actually the closest person.

What Arshlan regretted about all this was only one thing, namely when he had already brought Lana to the wedding altar.

It was the only carelessness that Arshlan regretted, because in the end they had been lulled deep enough..

Hhh...

Clearly, Arshlan's feelings for Lana are a very beautiful, unique feeling, perhaps no longer to come in Arshlan's next life.

While Lana..?

Later Arshlan will continue to believe. That Lana could get the best man.

Which deserves.and can make Lana happy.

XXXXXX

This morning Lana was sitting right in front of Arshlan. His sad face was slightly bowed. Looks pale, maybe because of lack of sleep last night.

"This. Take it."

Arshlan thrust a paperbag onto the table.

Lana who saw that felt no need to ask what it contained.

The logo printed clearly belongs to a well-known brand of communication tools in the paperbag has explained that the contents are a sophisticated mobile phone of the latest output.

"I don't need it." lana teased slowly.

"There's a new cell phone number. Take it, because in the future you will definitely need it." said Arshlan as if he did not care about Lana's rejection.

Lana mute.

Still stuck in his memory how he used to be crazy about the brand of mobile phones on the table today. So crazy Lana was willing to wash Siska clothes for months just to get a used phone Siska after her best friend was presented with the latest type of Om Romi from the same mobile phone brand.

But that was before. Because at this time Lana feels as if there is nothing more she wants on this earth than the love of Mr. Arshlan.

His happiness is only with the man in front of him, but unfortunately the man is not happy with his presence.

"You should continue your studies as well. I've ordered Her to take care of it." Arshlan said again while mentioning the name of one of the top universities today. "Although overseas, but you don't have to worry. I was the biggest donor there, so you.."

"Do I have to be exiled all the way until I have to go out of the country, because you don't want to see my face anymore..?"

Lana could see Arshlan's face adorned with a wry smile, when she heard him insinuate the man.

"When I only think about your comfort, because I think after what happened between us in the last few months, the public will not easily forget you. So it'd be better if you were away for a while. After all, there will be many positive things that you will get, when you study there let alone become an alumni of the university.."

'Whatever you say, sir, I only believe one thing, you just want me to stay away.'

Lana laughed in her heart.

Then with his right hand Arshlan pushed a file map on the table, so it was right in front of Lana.

"Here, I've prepared everything in your name. Savings books, deposits, home and vehicle ownership papers, as well as.."

"Stop."

"Daritadi Tuan has always said what you want for my life in the future. But why did you never once ask me what I wanted..?"

"I've decided the best thing for your future."

"My future is my business.."

"You.."

"Master has always rejected me from the beginning to this second. Then why bother thinking about everything?"

"How dare you refute me.." sissed Arshlan irritated, his eyes began to turn red indicating he was getting annoyed with all Lana's rejection.

"Sir, I don't want any of that."

"A few moments ago you said you would accept all my decisions, then what are you doing right now..? since then you've been protesting all the things I've decided..!"

"It is true, but what I mean is to accept the decision of the Master, who so quickly bored me and wanted to leave me as soon as possible. And all of that has nothing to do with new phones, college fees, savings, houses, cars.."

"Lana, you.."

"I'm not Maura willing to step away for a famous boutique, or another Master's lover who is quite satisfied when you throw money.."

"All right..! then what do you want..?!" asked Arshlan in a furious tone.

"I just want Master..!"

"Well, you're more greedy than Maura or any other woman.." Arshlan clucked cynically.

"Alright, then don't give me anything, just let me go without taking everything.."

"You're crazy, aren't you..?!" Arshlan.

"Master.if I can't have Master's love, then I don't want anything.."

"Then let's just say it's a reward for your hard work serving me in bed all this time.."

A pair of Lana's eyes glazed over Arshlan's harsh words. His pride hurts so much knowing Arshlan wants to pay him as if he was offering services while making the man happy and satisfied.

"Master, don't demean me so much like that. I am not a paid woman, but the lawful wife of the Lord. When I serve you in bed, it means I'm doing my duty as a wife.."

Arshlan threw her face away from Lana's gaze.

"By the way mom and dad are asking too much. If you still want to pay, let's just say all my parents ask for is a wage. That's more than enough."

Arshlan's face had now blushed perfectly. Apparently Lana's words have hurt her patience.

"It seems you really want to make me angry huh.." sissed Arshlan with increasing anger. "Marina and Beno are on one of the streets of Paris after shopping in the best fashion centers. Robi and Mona are in Yongsan Seoul. You want to hear which news first..? single accident a car on the streets of Paris, or two pedestrians foreign nationals become victims of hit-and-run in the Yongsan area of Seoul..?"

Lana shuddered in horror at the insane threat that was unmitigated.

"Lana, I've been human long enough, when everything can go my way. But if today I can't force my will on you, then don't blame me, if I go back to being a life-seeking angel, especially for Robi and Marina. Did you get here you understand..?!"

Clear thread vying to fall under the eyes of Lana.

"Tu.. Mister.why are you threatening me that instant. As bad as my parents are, what right do you have to commit to losing their lives..?"

"Basic fool.." sizzled Arshlan. "I've even shown everyone's ugly face right in front of your eyes, but now you're blaming me."

"That's because I only care about you. I don't want you to look bad.."

Arshlan was seen grinning, while putting a document on the table.

"I will not necessarily be bad even if I destroy the whole world. You understand?!"

"Sir.."

"Enough." Arshlan had raised one hand to dispel Lana's protest. "Sign the letter."

Lana shook her head many times, her pair of eyes returned to the mirror, but without pity, Arshlan instead put a pen on the table, with a cold face.

"Sign the letter, because I can't wait to get away from you.."
