Not A Perfect Marriage
Chapter 54 Forget Rio, marry me!

Amanda looked flat at Arfan who was now looking at the row of teeth. Arfan asked himself to choose a ring to propose to Angel because Arfan was afraid that later the ring he chose was too simple and eventually he would be scolded by Amanda.

"Well, if that's what you want, but then you can't tell Angel?"

"If there is no mother"

"As you go, let's go. Angel's sleeping again"

"Yes"

...

Hospital

Riko has submitted all hair samples to her friends who work as doctors here. Riko asked that as soon as possible get the results, the sooner knowing this truth would be better.

"You take it easy I'll try, uh but not too long ago I saw Arfan here, it looks like he's accompanying someone, is anyone sick?"

"What's? maybe it's his friend"

"Oh, maybe the results will come out within three days"

"Three days? that's a long time"

"Don't be in a hurry, this is all a process. You don't want any mistakes, do you?"

"Yes, I beg you. I want the real result"

"All right, I'll try"

"Thank you, I'm saying goodbye"

After leaving the hospital, Riko rushed to the jewelry store because Amanda and Arfan had been waiting for a long time.

Jewelry shop.

It's been two hours Amanda and Arfan picky jewelry in this store and fortunately Amanda has subscribed here even Amanda is good friends with the owner of this store so there is no problem even though it linger down here.

Arfan made dizzy with a row of ring models that look very good all, fortunately he asked Amanda to choose the ring.

Amanda was looking at a ring that seemed to match Angel's. Somehow Arfan felt restless leaving Angel at home with Sena and Rio. Arfan's mind drifted off somewhere, he imagined a bad thing that Rio and Sena might do. Arfan is afraid Rio and Sena will take Angel away because Angel could be a problem for them.

"Have you got the ring?" riko's sudden voice made Arfan surprised and then stared back at Riko.

"This father is like a ghost!" denggus Arfan's. Riko does not care about Arfan's complaint, he instead looks fascinated with a different diamond necklace behind the owner of this diamond shop.

"That's the latest model?"said Riko while pointing at the necklace attached to the statue. The woman who owns this store immediately took the item that Riko meant.

"It seems to suit you"

"We're here to buy a ring for Angel, not for me" Amanda said.

"All right now"

While his parents are still arguing, Arfan is even more worried about Angel. His feelings became unsettled and restless as well.

"Ma, Mum. Arfan's going home"

"Eh? it hasn't been chosen yet?"

"Name on yeah, Arfan's coming home now"

"Ta.. well that kid!"

Before Amanda finished her speech, Arfan just left.

"Here you go, she's worried about El"

"Hemm" Amanda just cleared her throat and then again chose a ring for Angel.

...

Homehouse

Angel looked at Kevin who was asleep with a strange look. Angel wanted to take Kevin away from home and be happy with him but the more Angel thought the more he felt that Kevin would be happy in this house without him. Angel looked around, this room he would miss as well as the hospitality of its residents, Angel strengthened his heart to leave this house. He doesn't want to be more tormented being in this house and also he can't continue like this, he's Kevin's mother but he can't acknowledge Kevin as his son.

"Why is this hard? El, don't expect more! Kevin's gonna be fine here"

Angel kissed Kevin's forehead long enough, a kiss of farewell that he did not want to do but this he was forced to do before the feeling of regret deepened and difficult to return to life without his baby.

"Darling, mama's gone, you take care of yourself? you must stay healthy. Sorry mama had to go, you better be without Mama"

Angel wiped her tears and walked towards the door. Angel is nothing because she doesn't want these memories to follow her on anyway she came to this house carrying nothing and now she's not carrying anything either.

When Angel wanted to open the door, it was opened by someone now looking at her anxiously.

"You ain't nothing, are you?" ask her with a worried tone. Angel shook his head slowly making the person in front of him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank God, I'm buying food for you, you're eating yah?" bargain with a subtle tone and with a smile of sincerity that he showed.

"Arfan" called Angel once directly hugged Arfan tightly. Angel sobbed silently in Arfan's chest. In front of Arfan Angel could not hide his wounds anymore, he felt Arfan the most comfortable place to express the wounds he felt.

"Els? you why?" Arfan returned Angel's embrace equally tightly. Arfan felt his chest tight at seeing this kind of Angel.

"Hey, don't be whiny! it's not you, you're strong!" arfan encouraged Angel.

Arfan took off Angel's embrace and wiped away the tears that soaked both of Angel's cheeks.

"Your tears are too precious to fill your husband! forget her, marry me"

"What?" Angel looked at Arfan's eyes with a look of disbelief. Arfan said that when he knew that he was his brother's second wife.

"I really want to marry you, this is sincere from my heart there is no doubt in it"

"Fan, I'm your sister's wife"

"Stop dreaming, El! he doesn't want you anymore, he just wants Kevin that's nothing more! please marry me, I will remove all the wounds he has given you"

Arfan grabbed Angel's two hands, held tightly to Angel's hand. Arfan wants Angel to accept him as her husband, she does not care about the current status of Angel because Arfan wants Angel to get what he did not get when married to Rio. Angel turned her eyes away from looking at Arfan's face.

Angel's feelings are now mixed. He is confused to feel happy or sad, Arfan is a loving figure who is also responsible must be lucky to have a husband like him but this is not true, Arfan deserves a girl who deserves to be with him open a woman who has had a child that is not clear to the extent.

"Els? if you marry me, you can be with Kevin"

"Kevin?"

"Dear, you won't be separated from Kevin. You want to marry me?"

"Arab"

Angel looked at Arfan's eyes. This guy in front of him is really nice and he's too good for himself. Angel feels Arfan deserves a better wife than he does.

"You want to, right?"

"Fan, you deserve a better wife than me. I don't deserve you"

Angel subtly refuses Arfan's proposal. Arfan knows this is going to happen, Angel is a loving person and he is not the slightest bit selfish, he always thinks of others because of that Arfan wants to marry Angel. Arfan believes his heart is not wrong people, all he wants is in Angel, in the eyes of Arfan, all he wants is in the self, Angel is an angel who comes down from heaven with millions of good things in every breath.

"El, you're the one I've been looking for all this time, trust me, I don't care about your status. I promise I'll be better than Rio, I'll make you happy"

Arfan continues to convince Angel that he is really sincere and this is not because of pity or penance that Rio has done, this is purely Arfan's desire.

Angel saw sincerity in Arfan's eyes. Angel knows how Arfan took care of her all this time, the attention that Arfan gave made Angel feel safe and comfortable. Every sadness he felt was able to be eliminated by Arfan, everything. Angel really wants to say "Yes" but he does not want to be selfish and hurt Arfan especially in this heart still tucked love for Rio.

"I believe that, but?"

"But what? you still hope? open your eyes, Rio only loves Sena and will forever be so"

"Yes, I still hope. I love him more than I do"

The words that came out of Angel's mouth made Arfan smile thinly. In front of this wife who is loyal to her husband but her husband seems not to care even say hello to her never. If Angel married him, he would feel the luckiest in the world, having a loyal, kind wife, loving and also full of magic that can make these lips smile but unfortunately this angel has become his sister's wife who seems to waste this heavenly angel.

"When does your heart hurt every day? you don't mind your chest tightening all the time? until when do you wait? until your tears are dry? Rio can only injure you without even understanding the injuries you have suffered"

"I'm used to it maybe my heart is petrified, I don't feel anything anymore. I'm sad because Rio didn't notice Kevin that's all"

Arfan let out a long sigh, Angel still appreciates this pseudo-marriage and Arfan also does not want to force Angel, he does not want Angel so hate and stay away from it maybe Amanda who can melt Angel's heart.

"Yes, if that's what you want, I don't want to force you, especially if you already know me and this is sincere from my heart. You know I was in love with you when we met in the office lobby back then"

"Sorry, Fan. I hurt your heart"

Arfan smiled widely and ruffled Angel's bangs with anxiety. Angel was astonished by Arfan's attitude when he had rejected his proposal.

"Often times, I've been heartbroken knowing you're pregnant. Well I guess I can start approaching you. Let me take care of him"

"Thank you"

"Father" cast Arfan out while pushing Angel's back slowly. Arfan did not feel disappointed or otherwise because he was really sincere to Angel.

After Angel left Arfan immediately approached Kevin who was asleep, because he felt Kevin would not wake up so Arfan chose to sleep next to Kevin.

....

Angel was silent at the dinner table, her mind drifting over Arfan's words just now. Angel did not want to hurt Arfan but he also had to look further, there must be a problem later on after he received Arfan's application. Angel remembered Rey who was far away in Bai and Rio who seemed to ignore her without any clear certainty. Rio said that if he divorced Angel but when Angel with Arfan was even said to be cheating, Angel is now going awry.

Angel heard the footsteps approaching her, she immediately looked at the voice. Angel immediately turned her eyes when she saw Sena who approached her. Of jealousy? maybe now that Angel feels when she does not have time alone with Rio even to just ask her whereabouts while Sena, she is new with Rio.

Angel immediately got up from her seat when Sena was already very close to her. As if Angel did not see Sena, Angel stepped away but Sena called her name.

"Angel" said Sena as if underestimating. Sena and Angel turned their backs on each other. Sena herself waited long enough for the two like this, a good chance to make Angel feel dumped by Rio.

"What?" angel said without looking at Sena. Sena clucked a few times, he immediately turned his body, walking in front of Angel.

Angel stared fiercely at Sena. Angel recalls the time Sena killed her future son. Sena looked pityfully at Angel, according to Sena, Angel was a very innocent woman even Sena labeled Angel as a stupid woman who would be deceived by men.

"Why are you still here? the deal's done, you better get out of here"

"I'm not leaving this house, I want to be with my son!"

"Your son? don't dream! Kevin my son even you have no right to touch him"

"Ck! kevin is my son and will forever be my son!" angel answered firmly. Sena seemed to ignore Angel's words just now.

"Whatever you want, I don't care. If you want to be Kevin's nanny please but Kevin will not call you "Mama" and do not dream of being a mistress here, you should be aware of yourself and get out of here!!"

"So scared of you? you feel unable to make Rio happy"

"What do you mean!"

"Rio's unlucky to marry someone like you who's just selfish"

Angel chuckles slowly, even though she only briefly lives life with Rio but she already understands what Rio wants but Sena? he seemed to not understand Rio despite being together for quite a long time.

"You are indeed beautiful but have you ever thought about Rio's feelings? you should realize, you've hurt Rio's feelings enough"

"God!"

Sena pushed Angel roughly until Angel took a few steps back. Sena's face looks red, she doesn't like Angel's words just now.

"Listen this is fine! you're just a woman hired to get a child and you're not needed anymore, even Rio's throwing you out so GET OUT OF HERE!" said Sena with great emphasis. Angel was still staring at Sena with reddened eyes.

A house this big and have a lot of ART but no one crosses this area, as if this is all set so that no one sees the quarrel of his wife and honeymoon.

Whether until when this secret is hidden there is already a child born from this relationship.

"Don't dream of being with Rio because I'll never let that happen! if you still have self-esteem you must have left here but it looks like you are now playing with Arfan. Ck! you're so despicable"

PLAQUES

A hard slap landed on Sena's cheek. Angel slapped Sena hard and even Sena looked surprised by this slap.

"Have you spoken?"

Sena stared intently at Angel while holding the cheek that Angel slapped just now. Sena hates Angel.

"Say you're afraid of losing Rio anyway I gave him a descendant while you? what did you give him?"

Angel was not afraid of this person in front of him. Sena used to threaten him but now she doesn't, Angel now has something to defend that's Kevin.

"So your words are jal*ng! you don't dream too high, Rio will never turn his back on me!"

"It's up to you to tell me what but you can't hide the truth"

Angel immediately stepped away leaving Sena burning with emotion. Sena clenched her hands together, she swore she would avenge all this.

"Look at jal*ng, I will definitely get you out of this house! keep that"

...

Angel's Room

Angel smiled faintly as she looked at Arfan who was asleep next to Kevin who was already awake. This tiny baby was playing, his eyes looking at the bright light and looking for the origin of the smooth snoring sound from Arfan.

"Darling, you're awake. Don't be noisy, huh? om Arfan is sleeping"

Angel lifts Kevin's tiny body, takes him to the side yard to play after it's taken a shower.

.

The afternoon sunlight made an impression in the eyes of anyone who saw it. The color that starts to fade seems to calm the mind. The sun that shone all day now began to dim its light in exchange for the moon that illuminated the silent night. Although no one noticed it, the sun still shone with its light and ended its work with its beautiful rays.

Angel from earlier looked at Kevin who started to make a clear voice. Angel's tears just flowed.

"Darling, you're a mama's boy and forever a mama's boy. Mama won't part with you"

"But you have to part with Kevin" the cold voice made Angel wipe her tears violently then. Angel memorized that voice, it was Rio.

Angel looked towards Rio with a casual look. Angel is fed up with Rio's face that has no guilt or anything, Rio's facial expression looks ordinary.

"Why did you slap Sena? why are you angry? you're supposed to get out of here, it's over and Kevin's Sena's not you"

"You threw me away?"

"I'm not throwing you away, I'm divorcing you this deal is over. You're free to go, I don't want you babysitting Kevin"

"Why? I'm his mother I'm entitled to babysit"

"Understand! the longer you stay close to Kevin the more you can't get away from Kevin. It's over, the deal's over with Kevin's birth"

"I meant nothing to you all this time? am I just a toy to fill your empty day without Sena?"

"If that's what makes you understand, yes I consider you just a toy and now I'm tired of you"

Rio quickly snatched Kevin from Angel's hand and left without caring about Angel's feelings.

"Now that my hope is dashed, what exactly have I been hoping for all this time? I tortured myself"

...

Arfan woke up from his sleep. He was immediately shocked when he saw Kevin who was not next to him anymore.

"Same El times huh?"

Arfan got out of bed, with half-open eyes looking for Kevin and Angel. While looking for Angel, Arfan saw Kevin who was with Rio and Sena. Arfan's mind was immediately fixed on Angel, for some reason his heart was getting restless.

Arfan headed for the side yard because Angel used to be there. Arriving there, both eyes Arfan saw Angel who was daydreaming, Arfan immediately approached Angel.

"Els? you're nothing, are you?"

"I just wanted to be a good wife to my husband but it seemed like it was all for nothing and now I'm losing my son. It's also my fault or my destiny, I don't know if my life is clearly ruined" Angel said without looking at Arfan. Angel immediately got up from his seat stepping away from Arfan. Angel just passed by with a blank look.

Arfan clenched his hands together, only this time he saw Angel like this, as if something was missing from him.

"What are you doing, brother?"

...

Arfan approached Rio who was making coffee in the kitchen. Rio just turned his head around Arfan's collar at a glance. Arfan felt sick of seeing Rio's attitude like this.

"When do you want it to be like this? how long are you gonna hurt Angel?"

"I told you, I don't care about him" Rio said without looking at Arfan, he was busy looking for something in the glass cabinet.

"But Angel cares about you"

"Wantas? I have to believe it? isn't she gonna marry you?"

"I lied, I just proposed to her today and she said she's still your wife"

Rio was silent for a moment but for a second he opened the closet door again, I don't know what Rio was looking for now.

"You don't care, brother? he waits patiently for certainty from you, he is faithful to you. I am astonished at you, brother. Angel is perfect! what is less than him?"

Rio turned his body. Rio was staring flatly at Arfan. In Rio's eyes, Arfan was just a kid yesterday afternoon who didn't know anything.

"Yes, just marry her" told Rio indifferently.

"She who doesn't want to, she still considers you her husband. Angel loves you sincerely but this is your reply?"

"I don't care! if you want to marry her, marry her! I don't care!" rio said with great emphasis. Arfan smiled cynically, this person in front of him already had no heart.

"Then bring Angel back to her parents, they don't know that you married her at least you brought her home safely"

"I told you I don't care!"

"Sister, you ruined Angel's life! you fooled Angel with your money, have you no shame! you and Sena get what you want but Angel? what did he get out of all this?"

"Himwa. He swapped his future for his father's life, he's willing to do this deal and without any coercion from me"

"It was because of the circumstances that forced him"

"Then what's the difference with me? you think I'm gonna do this?"

"Sena forced you or just your excuse? from whatever side you benefit"

"You're talking about it, if only Mama hadn't kept cornered Sena this wouldn't have happened"

"Ck! now that you blame Mama, you should be aware that you can be firm with your wife this will not happen, after all since when a Mario resigned with the circumstances"

"You know I'm not going to let go of things and you should also know I'm doing this for a reason"

"The reason or only the interests of you and Sena alone, all this time that benefited you. The money you spend is not worth what Angel has felt all along! all this time Angel can still smile but now, she seems lifeless after you snatch her son"

The expression on Rio's face did not change in the slightest, the look on his eyes also seemed ordinary. Rio doesn't care about Angel. Arfan is getting embarrassed to have a big brother like Rio.

"Yes I know that but have you ever thought a little about our family? what did they think after knowing that the eldest son of this family had a mistress, did you ever think about Mama's feelings? he'll be very sad"

Rio said honestly. This is all he did just for the good of his family especially Rio did not want Amanda to feel sad about this problem.

"What about Angel? what if his family finds out?"

"That's her business, I'm already dizzy with my own problems. If you feel capable please help him" said Rio immediately passed away leaving Arfan.

"Sister?"

Arfan thought Rio would care a little about Angel who is loyal to him but he was wrong, Rio did not care even Rio dumped Angel just like that.

"You'll surely regret that you've wasted a wife like Angel"

....

Angel's Room

Angel pensive drifting in her daydreams. The tightness in this chest was already very ordinary he felt. All this time he hoped for a little affection from Rio especially he still remembered the words of Rio that would give certainty to him.

"I can't face this all alone. Who should I lay my head on? I complained to whom even God himself left me. God, why is my life like this? until when is this pain of mine, is there not even the slightest happiness for me even if it is only for a moment?"

The sound of the door being opened by someone and it was Sena who entered Angel's room. Sena clucked a few times but Angel did not care about Sena.

"Look at you now, you little boy. I told you, don't dream too high pain will fall"

"Go away" cast Angel in a weak tone.

"Why angry? you'd better leave before your life leaves your body"
