Not A Perfect Marriage
CHAPTER 56 Rey's Return

"....this is also your home"

Hearing the request, Jihan looked at Angel. Jihan will obey Angel's will even though she has to separate from Erik. Angel felt that something was hidden from her and it was impossible for these adults to be honest with her.

"Ummm Grandma, we're definitely going there. Where are you guys now?"

"We're in France, are you here? you will be going to college here. Do you want to or don't you want to get married?"

"Eh?"

His Grandmother's words made both of Angel's cheeks bulge. Jihan knows her mother still remembers the events that happened when she asked for permission to marry after graduating from High School and the events that she could not forget.

"H Grandma!"

"Grandma's just kidding, you want to?"

"Why do you live in France?" the question that was thrown from Angel's mouth made the atmosphere change, both Jihan and the person on the screen. Angel knew they didn't want to talk about this.

"Why don't you guys live in Holland, can I see tulips, what's France in?"

"It can be arranged baby, Grandma will make you happy and here you also have a brother, surely they will be happy to meet you"

"Yes but not anytime soon, El wants a healthy grandma first I just went there"

"Loh why? grandma is healthy"

"Come on, Grandma! I want to play with grandma, grandma can't lie to me! grandma looks so pale"

"Yes beautiful, you're more beautiful than your mother"

"Grandmother is wrong, the mother is unmatched if the angry mother can speech 24 hours non-stop"

"What did you say?"

"Aawww"

Jihan immediately reached out to Angel's ears to make people on mobile phones laugh with her release. Hearing the sound of laughter, Jihan took off the jewels in Angel's ear. Jihan was relieved when the woman who gave birth to her laughed happily.

"Sick ma!"

"Angel, it's been well, your grandmother had an appointment to see a doctor" said Ferdy interjected and made Angel disappointed even his wife did not seem to want to end this conversation.

"I still want to talk to my granddaughter"

"Sir, it can be connected again. Grandma should be healthy"

"Yes dear"

After closing the phone. Angel immediately looked at Jihan with a gaze filled with questions.

"Mom, what doesn't El know?"

"You better not know it, it's better for you"

Jihan left Angel. Angel felt like these adults were hiding something she didn't want to know. Angel actually wanted to ask why it was only now that her grandparents contacted her after twenty years ago why her family lived away from them.

"Didn't you get grandfather's blessing?" for some reason strange thoughts appear on his head, the striking difference is very felt Angel especially see Ferdy his grandfather who looks very established and also his grandmother who looks very sad and when she sees Jihan, who looks very sad, he seems to be back alive.

"Els! don't add to the burden of your mind, just think about your own problems"

....

Arfan drives his car at high speed to the food stall Bu Jihan hopes Angel is there.

"El why did you leave without saying goodbye to me! you don't know how much I'm worried about you"

This feeling in his chest was too painful that it could not be expressed in words. Arfan didn't care if Angel refused him but to get away from him it made him tormented. Just seeing Angel's smile makes Arfan happy but now, hearing her voice alone can't.

"Ck! why it's stuck!" Arfan continues to honk his car horn, Arfan does not care about the people around him who may feel disturbed.

.

Arfan directly out of the car to the stall that is still closed or is already closed, even the sign that indicates open or not is no longer there. Arfan peered inside, the thin curtain covering the glass leaving only a slight narrow gap for Arfan to peek in and no one inside. Feeling lost was the hope that Arfan had, his body immediately limp.

Arfan sat in the role of the stall while looking at the screen of his phone attached portrait ayu Angel who was carrying Kevin. This is the only thing that treats a little longing in Arfan's heart.

"Where areyou? I missed you"

Jihan was surprised to see a young man sitting in his warehouse. The man looked down so Jihan couldn't see his face.

"Sorry who are you?"

Hearing that voice, Arfan immediately looked up. Jihan smiled faintly at him, as if Jihan had met this young man.

"Eh? the stall is closed, huh?"

"It's just about to open, usually it's open but it's late"

"Oh, ummm Ma'am. Angel's home yet?"

"Angel's? you know my daughter?"

"I'm his friend and I can meet him, because his stuff is left in my place"

"He didn't come to the shop, just leave it to me"

"I want to give it back directly to him and there are things I need to talk to him about"

"Yes, if that's what you want. From here you go straight and then turn right, house at the end"

"Thank you"

Arfan rushed to the car. Jihan looked at Arfan's departure with an indecipherable look.

.

Home Angel House

Angel was cutting some roses for decoration in her room. Angel felt something was missing from her and made her uninspired. Angel took a deep breath, he missed Kevin.

Arfan immediately got out of his car when he saw Angel who was picking roses.

"Angels"

Arfan walked over to Angel who was unaware of his arrival.

"Angel" call Arfan. Angel turned to the voice. Angel looks surprised to see the arrival of Arfan at his home and how he can find out his home address.

"Arenfan?"

"Ew"

Arfan immediately pulled Angel into his arms. Angel just kept quiet not returning Arfan's embrace.

"Why did you go without saying goodbye, I was worried" whispered subtly Arfan right in Angel's ear. Arfan misses Angel a lot.

"sorry"

Arfan took off his embrace and pinched both of Angel's cheeks with his anxiety. Arfan's worry is reduced he thinks Rio will take Angel away and hide it because Rio does not want to release Angel.

"You're just worried"

"Mama? he's angry, huh?"

"Why he's angry, you'll go home by yourself. Oh, I brought your clothes"

"I told Papa I wouldn't take him"

"But it's yours, take it easy I've chosen it so you don't need it I don't bring"

"Favor"

Arfan went straight to his car and pulled out a suitcase containing Angel's clothes. Angel smiled looking at Arfan who was very attentive to him.

"Now, take good care of yourself?"

Hearing Arfan's words just now somehow he felt that Arfan would forget him.

"You won't see me again?"

"If you allow it I'll keep seeing you, I'll bring you closer to Kevin.. Uh. I forgot something"

Arfan returns to the car to pick up a small present for Angel. Arfan returned with a pink paper bag.

"Make you"

"This what?"

Angel received Arfan's gift and opened it and it turned out that it contained a cellphone box and a small teddy bear.

"Mobile phones and dolls? Fan, this is not necessary. You've helped me a lot"

"You need this, when you miss Kevin you call me, the phone has my number and Mama's but don't expect on that phone there's a Rio number" arfan said in an unheard tone to make Angel chuckle softly.

"I have to go to the office, I'm saying goodbye"

"Yes"

Arfan turned around to leave Angel but only three steps Arfan turned to look at Angel. It is seen from both eyes of Arfan that Arfan cannot leave Angel.

"El!"

Arfan ran towards Angel directly hugging Angel tightly. Arfan felt very hard parting with Angel, usually when he came home from work Angel was watching TV in the middle room but now, he can not see it anymore.

"Can I kiss your forehead?" arfan asked politely but Angel fell silent.

"Just say goodbye" Arfan continued. Angel knew Arfan's love was huge for her but she didn't want to accept it. Angel does not want Arfan to get into trouble because he also does not want Arfan and Rio to be hostile.

"Yes, I'll let it go"

"Thank you"

Arfan immediately took off his embrace and kissed Angel's forehead for a long time. Arfan closed his eyes.

"You've got better women than me"

Hearing Angel's words made Arfan smile in his heart. Arfan took off his kiss and looked into Angel's eyes.

"I believe that but right now I want to take care of you can you consider me your brother? come on I know you're my brother-in-law but you're too cute to be my sister"

"Yes, sister"

"I have to go to the office in the afternoon, take care of yourself"

"Yes, you also have to take care of your health"

"Okay, pretty"

Angel waved her hand towards Arfan's car, Arfan also waved his hand towards Angel. Arfan's car is now out of sight.

"I don't need this, if I keep in touch with them when I'm going to get on with my life. Sorry, Fan but this is better for me"

.

For three days Angel had not seen or heard the news Kevin made him sad but he still survived and was still alive. Angel assures herself that Kevin is okay and safe with Amanda.

Angel and Jihan have just finished shopping and somehow Jihan feels that there is something her daughter is hiding. Angel was silent and not as usual, did he not like being invited to the market?.

"Dear you are sick?"

"That's why Mom"

"You should just go home, I can take care of this myself"

"But?"

"Darling, I don't want you to get sick"

Jihan grabbed all the plastic bags in Angel's hand. Angel just nodded loading Jihan smiled thinly and walked towards the stall. Angel frowned as the black car stopped in front of her.

Angel was surprised to see Riko get out of the car with a sad face?. Riko smiled and was relieved to meet Angel.

"Papa?"

"El, I want to talk to you, come with me"

Angel follows Riko to the park not far from the stall. Angel felt something strange about Riko, from earlier she was holding a paper.

Riko stopped walking and turned towards Angel. Angel looked at the eyes of sadness in Riko's eyes. Riko himself does not know where to start, this reality makes him tortured and does not know what to do clearly he has to give justice and also the rights of Angel as his son-in-law.

"Pa, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry" the sentence just slid from Riko's mouth making Angel feel confused.

"Pa?"

"What's the fuck you talking about? El doesn't understand" said Angel lying. Angel does not want to deal with Rio anymore, now Angel just wants to be happy with both parents especially now Angel now has two grandparents who love him.

"Kevin your son?"

Angel was surprised to hear it. Riko knows about this.

20 Minutes earlier

Office/working space Riko

Riko let out a long sigh, herself waiting for her theme to call. He wanted to quickly find out the results of the DNA test that made him not calm.

"It's torturing me"

Not long after the theme finally called, Riko immediately picked up a phone call. Riko rushed out of the office to the hospital.

Hospital

Riko asked the test results. Previously Riko also handed over a sample of Rio's hair to confirm the truth again.

"How did it work?"

"You read it yourself"

Riko opened this white envelope. The look on Riko's face changed, her eyes heating up as she read the results. The results of this test showed that Kevin was the real son of Angel and Rio.

"It's not wrong, is it?"

"No, I'm watching myself. What exactly happened so?"

"Can you keep this a secret?"

"certainly"

"Thank you"

end flash.

Seeing Angel who was silent like this answered Riko's question. From Angel's eyes was clearly a deep longing.

"He's your son, why are you hiding him? Rio and Sena are threatening you?"

"Pa"

"Tell me everything, Papa will support you. Papa apologizes for Rio's actions to you"

Angel is increasingly silent, not knowing what Riko will think about her who sold herself and her son just for money. Riko knew everything but wanted to hear it from Angel's mouth.

"El, don't you want to stay with your son and acknowledge him as your son? he's your flesh blood, nine months you've been with him on what now you don't miss him?"

Riko's words just now pierced her deeply. Angel wants to take Kevin with her, watch him grow, hear the call from her tiny mouth and be the place to express her grievances. Angel tried not to cry but her maternal instinct was so strong that she sobbed.

"Don't cry, the one who should be crying is Rio not you! he was so stupid to take you off" said Riko as she wiped Angel's tears. Since knowing Angel, Riko has considered Angel his daughter because from the first he wanted to have a daughter and also Angel can make the atmosphere of the house so more alive essence Angel is very valuable in the Riko family.

"You want to tell me everything, so Papa can help you"

Angel nodded. They sit on park benches. Angel began to tell the beginning of this secret story. Riko is increasingly amazed by Angel, a brave and full of affection and willing to sacrifice for his parents.

Riko clenched both of her hands. When hearing Sena made Angel miscarry and Rio's attitude is a prin plan. Riko did not expect Rio to hide all this and was disappointed Rio could not educate his wife even though this was for the sake of making Amanda happy but the way they used it was wrong. Angel tells the truth to Riko well although incomplete but this is nothing to be exaggerated.

"..... i agreed to be Kevin's milk mom because I was afraid Kevin was sick again, after he was born Kevin was already fighting for life and I didn't want him back to feel sick. Papa must now consider me a lowly man, I sold myself and my son"

Riko wiped away her tears.not a single bit of negative thoughts in her head about Angel was just a sense of awe and I don't know this can not be expressed in words.

"No, I'm amazed at you. I must be so grateful to have a daughter like you. Yes come home, I make sure you get your rights as Rio's wife"

"No Pa, I don't want to"

"Loh Why?" Riko was surprised to hear that. Angel didn't want to go back to the house even if she wanted to. What good is she going back to that house when her own husband does not want her presence.

"Rio doesn't want me anymore"

"El, you don't have to be afraid of Papa. Papa make sure you get all the rights that are yours"

"Pa, I've been married to Rio for over a year and it doesn't make the slightest impression on Rio's life and I don't want to make Mama sad either. Let everything be like this, I'm sincere and this happens because of my decision"

Riko is curious what Angel's heart is made of, in this condition she still thinks of the happiness of others.

"El, mama better know all this"

"But what about my family? they would be angry with me, I lied to them and I got married without their blessing. Let all this remain a secret" Angel pleaded. Riko who does not have the heart to see Angel like this just obey Angel's will but he will still try to make Angel return to his house.

"As for you, Papa doesn't want to force you. You have sacrificed a lot for my family"

"Thank you, Pa"

"It's not you who is grateful but Papa who is very grateful to you. You may ask Papa anything, do not take this to make up for your pain even all the treasures I have will not be enough to repay all the happiness you gave to my family. if you need anything don't hesitate to ask me"

"El, just want you to love Kevin that's all. I'll be calm when Kevin's happy"

"Definitely honey, you just said that you wanted to meet Kevin. Papa's gonna take Kevin to see you"

"Thank you Pa!"

Angel hugged Riko tightly. Riko is now very angry with Rio and Sena but he can not vent it because he is afraid that both Sena and Rio will hurt Angel.

"You mean a lot to my family, El. Hopefully you will live a happier life, Papa is really very embarrassed to have children and daughters-in-law like them. If you were my real daughter, I'd be so happy"

...

Bu Jihan Warung.

Angel did not come home, he chose to help Jihan. Angel still remembered Riko's words earlier and he also did not believe Riko could do this all just to make sure the parents of her grandson's birth even Riko did not care about the image and bad image that would be got because of this problem.

"Mom, El is hungry" said Angel directly without seeing who the person who was with Jihan.

"Repid"

Angel immediately raised his head. His eyes were round to see who was smiling at him. Jihan smiled looking at the surprised face of Angel who saw Rey. Rey himself did not tell you first, Rey wants to give a surprise to his future wife.

"You?" angel pointed at Rey's face. Rey snorted angrily and then bit slowly on Angel's index finger who was pointing at her face.

"Thou yah, nyebelin" upset Angel with her disheveled face. Rey chuckles softly and ruffles the top of Angel's head with her message.

"Ehemm" Deheman from Jihan made his two instantly stare at Jihan.

"What's? he said hungry, take it yourself"

Jihan chooses to go to the kitchen, she doesn't want to bother Angel and Reyhan. After Jihan's departure this atmosphere felt very awkward.

Cup

"Eh?" Angel was surprised when Rey quickly kissed her lips. Angel felt her cheeks heat up.

"Why is it a statue like that? I'm hungry too"

"Yes, what side dish do you want to eat?"

"As far as you're pretty"

"okay"

.

Rey continued to look at Angel's face making Angel feel uncomfortable to look at like this.

"Don't look at me, let's eat"

"Babylon"

"Yes"

"Eh? you're gonna bribe me?"

"You asked for it"

Rey seemed happy, she missed Angel so much. There is no day without thinking about Angel, his future wife whom he loves so much.

"You're more beautiful, what have you been doing all this time that you haven't contacted me? is your phone missing again?"

Angel looked at the row of teeth made Rey sigh. Angel feels bad lying to Rey but she is not ready to tell Rey the truth.

"We've bought a cell phone for you"

"No need I have it"

"Yes, let's play. I want to spend time with you too, I miss you so much. Do you still love me or do you have anything else?"

"You said what the hell Rey, don't joke let's eat again"

"I beg you, ja..."

Rey was unable to continue her words as this gentle touch on her lips froze her.

"Lip gloss you taste strawberries well?" ask Rey with her. Angel snorted in annoyance, Rey always pissed him off.

"Nyebelinny"

"Let's be important I'm handsome"

"Whatever, you just came and everything's fine"

"Yes, you don't have to worry. Mama same Papaku is also going to Jakarta, there are things to take care of here"

"What?"

"Business, and there's something else but I won't tell you"

Rey smiled mysteriously. Angel can only puff both of her cheeks. Rey and her family have prepared a surprise for Angel and this will change her life and Angel's.

...

Parkland

Planted with this beautiful flower Rey and Angel walk hand in hand down the path. This park was as quiet as if it belonged to the two of them. The breeze adds a romantic and meaningful impression.

Rey smiled happily to finally meet Angel. Angel feels her life is getting complicated after Rey's presence. Rey's hand tightly gripped Angel's hand, this beautiful longing makes her more active work for her future with Angel as well as for the children later.

"Your hands are cold, are you sick?" asked Rey anxiously. Angel smiled faintly and shook her head slowly.

"You don't like me here?"

Rey stopped her steps making Angel also stop stepping. Angel looked into Rey's eyes, for some reason Ange felt sad when he looked into those eyes but Angel did not want this sadness to make Rey uncomfortable.

"What are you talking about, Rey, don't bother"

"Honestly I'm afraid of losing you, I love you so much that I miss you"

Rey grabs Angel's hands, putting Angel's palms on both cheeks. Rey stared into Angel's eyes. Eyes that always attract his attention.

"Now we're together, right? so we spend time together, don't scare me. I want my old Reyhan, Rey who is full of pranks and naivety not Rey who mellows like this"

Rey smiled faintly, he immediately pulled Angel into his arms. Angel returned Rey's embrace. Angel can feel the sadness that Rey feels, Angel feel confused why Rey like this. It bothers him a lot, Angel wants Rey who he knows.

"What exactly are you? answer honestly"

"I'm afraid of losing you, you're my life. I want to spend time with you, I want you to be the mother of my children no matter what"

From every word Rey seemed to know what had happened to her but if it was true from where Rey knew all this.

"Rey?"

"I once dreamed of losing you, in that dream I saw you with another man, he took you from me"

Angel was relieved that it was because of the dream that Rey just experienced. Angel feels to not hide this any longer especially this is not about him alone, this also concerns the future of Rey even though Rey will stay away from him later.

"It's just a dream, it's just a sleeping flower... You cry?"

Angel can hear Rey's stuffing. Rey is afraid of losing Angel. Rey has loved Angel for a long time even when she first met Angel her heart was instantly stolen by Angel. All his ignorant and nosy attitude was only aimed at making Angel annoyed at him and getting closer to Angel. Angel took off Rey's embrace and Rey was really crying.

"How can you cry?" Angel gently wiped Rey's tears. Rey just wants Angel to be his wife forever.

"Now who's whiny?" continued Angel again but Rey did not care, she continued to look at the face of Ayu Angel. With a prickly Angel pulled Rey's cheek and made Rey wake up from her daydream.

"Well boy likes to be dumb again Ntar if you get stuck who will help you? you know for yourself I'm afraid of such a thing"

"Yes I know but you still want to be my wife, right?"

"......"
