I Love You, Bule 2
Ara & Al Chapter 8

In the living room, Tuba can see what Arabella did to Ekrem. Burcu and Erce also see Arabella welcoming Ekrem's arrival.

“Attention seeker basis. I know he just wants to look good in front of Grandpa,” Erce said withstanding his frustration when he saw Ekrem replying to Arabella's welcome.

“We must not act rashly. I know he's not that weak, seeing how he replied to me earlier.” Tuba did look at him but he held his anger in his heart.

What he said was right. He knew that it was not easy to get Arabella out of her family. Arabella was not even daunted when she answered all of her words earlier.

“So what should we do, Mother? I really don't like to see her smiling face like that.” Just like her son, Burcu is also upset with Arabella's behavior in the house.

“We must devise a plan so that he can be detached from our family.” Spotlight Tuba's eyes implied hatred for Arabella.

They saw Arabella and Ekrem walking towards their place. Burcu immediately put on a relaxed face but still glanced sharply at Arabella.

“Do not seek such attention. I know you just want to look good in front of Grandpa,”, Burcu quipped Arabella.

Arabella just smiled obliquely hearing the innuendo to her. “I just did what was right to be my duty as a daughter-in-law in this house. Didn't you remind me of my duties as a daughter-in-law in this house?”

Tuba and Burcu fell silent at the words Arabella returned to throw insinuations at them. Erce also clenched tightly as her mother's words were countered by Arabella.

Ekrem restrained his satisfied smile when he saw the look on Tuba and Burcu's face that began to darken. He saw Arabella replying to the insinuations calmly, even Arabella replied to him with harsher insinuations. For a long time, finally there are those who dare to oppose the words Tuba and Burcu, even more so can make Tuba and Burcu silent like that.

Ekrem who felt the atmosphere was getting worse and then cleared his throat loudly. “Grandfather feels tired so you better not make a fuss here.”

Arabella smiled warmly at Ekrem. “Then more breed Grandpa breaks in room huh. I'll make ginger wedang for Grandpa.”

“Good. Later deliver to Grandpa's room only yes.” Ekrem set foot leaving Arabella together when her stepfamily was.

He could now feel at ease leaving Arabella with them as he knew Arabella was capable of opposing the three well without any help from her.

“Don't be nice like that. I know you're just acting like a good daughter-in-law even if you're a sneaky person.”

Erce threw his frustration at Arabella. The envy of seeing Ekrem who seemed to defend Arabella made her even more angry with Arabella.

Arabella grinned at Erce. “You know? A sly person means he is able to think cleverly compared to ordinary people. That's why I thank you for praising me as an astute person.”

Erce widened her eyes hearing the words Arabella. “You!” it leads to Arabella.

“Am I wrong?” tanya Arabella put on her innocent face.

Tuba heaved a heavy sigh at the behavior of his grandson who was unable to fight Arabella. “Already, Erce. Don't make a fuss again. You don't want Grandpa to hear that, do you? So you better sit quietly here.”

Erce clenched her hands tightly until the tissue book turned white. He could not resist Tuba's words so he chose to sit on the sofa again but still glanced cynically at Arabella.

“If you guys don't need to be with me anymore, then I'll leave.” Arabella smiled at them and walked away from the living room and headed towards the kitchen.

“Look at that behavior. He even dared to oppose us in front of Grandpa! I know he purposely did that to humiliate us in front of Grandpa! You sly woman!” Burcu takes out his curse on Arabella.

“Tenace, Burcu. We do not need to rush like this. we better see until when he will be able to oppose us later.” Tuba took the cup containing the tea and sipped it slowly.

Arabella was brewing the ginger wedang she made for Ekrem. Making ginger does not take long for Arabella.

When she was finished, Arabella set foot into Ekrem's room.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Arabella knocks on the door before opening the door to Ekrem's room.

“Grandfather, I brought ginger wedang to Grandpa.” Arabella stepped into Ekrem's room and walked towards Ekrem, who was sitting on his couch.

Ekrem welcomed Arabella's arrival with a faint smile. “Sit here,” he said allowing Arabella to sit next to him.

Arabella obeyed the words of Ekrem and sat beside Ekrem. He placed the cup of ginger wedang he had made on the table. “Try, Cake. I hope it suits Grandpa's taste.”

Ekrem looked at the cup of water that Arabella referred to as the ginger wedang with a doubtful look. He lifted the cup and inhaled its aroma for a moment.

‘Not bad,’ inner.

Slowly Ekrem sipped the ginger wedang until a warm sensation flowed through his throat. Unexpectedly, Ekrem liked the ginger wedang made by Arabella on him.

“How, Cake? Does Grandpa like it?” tanya Arabella saw Ekrem who had drunk a little ginger wedang made it.

Ekrem smiled and nodded his head. “It's delicious. Grandpa liked. Thank you, Ara.”

Arabella smiled with relief at Ekrem's reply. “Thank God Grandpa liked it. It's one of the drinks I'll make if I feel tired. That's why I made this Grandpa.”

Ekrem nodded his head. “You are very expert at making a lot of things huh. No wonder Al fell in love with you.”

A thin red hue was seen on Arabella's face when she heard Ekrem's words. “I'm more grateful to be able to like men like Al.”

Ekrem could see the sincerity in Arabella's speech, knowing that Arabella really liked her grandson.

Arabella got up from her seat and smiled at Ekrem. “Then I go out first, Kek.”

“Good. You rest.”

Arabella nodded her head and walked out of Ekrem's room. He intends to go inside his room before he hears Al's name which seems to be being talked about by Tuba, Burcu, and Erce in the living room.

Arabella stepped closer to the living room but tried to hide to hear what they were talking about more clearly.

“I prefer Sezen over that woman.” Erce's voice was heard.

“Sezen? You mean the woman who was in Al's past?” burcu asked Erce.

The deg!

Arabella widened her eyes in disbelief at what she heard. “Sezen?”
