I'M Behind You, Arshal

Chapter 53

The accident happened so quickly, even the car worn by them had overturned. Adara who was then thrown out and rolled around fell towards the swamp that was nearby. Adara's head hit hard on the rock. Adara grimaced with the pain that gnawed at her body, she could hear faintly the sound of a huge explosion, her gaze began to blur and soon her consciousness disappeared.

Deg.

Adara jerked up opening her eyes wide. He held his head wrapped in bandages. Adara glanced around the room which was almost similar to the first time she woke up from the hospital. Then his eyes unintentionally looked at a man who was grasping his hands while falling asleep in a sitting position.

Adara tears welled up in her eyes looking at the man who was none other than her husband Arshal.

"i remember it." she softly returned the man's hand so as to make her hand piqued and opened her eyes.

"Air?! you're sober??" Arshal pressed the button to call the doctor. Shortly after, the nurse came with the doctor into Adara's room.

"thank God you're okay" Deon said after checking Adara's condition.

"i remember the doc." said Adara suddenly making everyone look at her.

"do you remember what Ra?"

"i remember where I was when I had the accident" Adara said seriously to make Arshal stunned.

Arshal immediately approached his wife and cupped Adara in the face. "are you serious?"

Adara nodded, "the accident happened so suddenly, I didn't know if the accident was intentional or not. But I heard the sound of an explosion."

"yes, it was your car explosion at the time. And Raily's victim, your personal assistant. You remember everything?" ask Deon quietly.

"i'm su—akkh." his head felt dizzy again. Arshal immediately approached Adara and sent the woman down. "you don't need to force to remember everything Ra, you better rest first." said Arshal immediately called Adara.

Deon immediately pulled Arshal's hand out of the room. "what?"

"you've been wrestling where woi is? how did you get battered in the face?" deon asked astonished to find his best friend disheveled.

"that man kidnapped my wife, and the culprit behind Adara's accident."

"have you caught him?" ask Deon again.

Arshal nodded slowly, then typed something on his phone. "huft, there's no one right around me."

Deon said, "what do you mean?" tanyanya.

"my secretary stabbed me in the back" he said softly.

"wow I expected that."

Arshal looked at Deon, "what's wrong with you?"

"no why-why, I was a bit strange to see the behavior of your secretary. Moreover, that time I accidentally saw him together with a woman."

"woman?"

"yes, I saw them at the restaurant that day, they were both talking like that."

Arshal took his phone out of his pants pocket, then showed it to Deon. "is she the woman?" ask Arshal. Deon was surprised then nodded quickly.

"haah yaa nih the man, eh wait...why can you have a picture of him?" tanya Deon looked at Arshal suspiciously.

Arshal stared horror at him, "ish, don't look at me like that jerk. She's Leta, Adara's stepbrother."

"stepbrother? since when did Adara have a half-sister?"

"that's none of your business, that's it. I have to go back to Adara's room."

"ish that kid sucks." Deon's lips sauntered away leaving the couple inside.

***

Adara stared at the window, she began to remember her past before the accident happened. His heart felt troubled and riled up. His fingers continued to knock on the blanket he was using.

"what are you thinking? don't you have to rest?" asked Arshal to walk over to his wife. Adara turned towards Arshal while showing a faint smile on her face.

"they are fine, they are now with Raid." replied Arshal as he poured water into his glass.

"thank God" said Adara. At least the person he loves is now safe from the man's entrapment.

"Adara." call Arshal while holding Adara's hand slowly and then stroke the delicate hand. Arshal stared at Adara.

"tell me, do you remember anything about us?" tanyanya slow. Adara was stunned and nodded slowly in response to Arshal's question.

"i remember Shal, you are my husband" said Adara meekly made Arshal immediately hold him tightly. "finally you come back dear." he cried not forgetting to kiss all parts of Adara's face happily.

"i'm sorry." - Adara suddenly made Arshal outline his embrace and look into his wife's eyes. "why are you sorry?"

"because I'm being too selfish."

"it's not your fault baby, it's all my fault. I wasn't strict with myself to introduce me to my parents. I'm the one who's sorry." Arshal regretted. He remembered why he was driving at such a high speed and left Adara with a feeling of anger.

Just because he has not yet introduced Adara to his family makes their new household as long as corn on the verge of cracking. And because of that, the accident happened to Adara.

"no, I was wrong Arshal. I was too pressing you at that time. If only I had been more patient and inedible to the neighbor's words, none of this would have happened to our family."

"already, forget what has passed. What matters is that we all finally get back together. You know, ever since that incident, I've been feeling empty and I feel like ending my own life. But, I remember we had Raid, she still needs affection."

Adara's tears dripped, "although it was true that I was gone, you didn't do that reckless thing Arshal once in a while." He sank his head into her husband's chest.

Arshal stroked his wife's head gently, and she wiped her rough tears which almost came out without her permission. Once again, she was grateful to be given the opportunity to gather with her little family.

Arshal cupped Adara's face, seeing the face clingy that made him continue to depend on the woman. A smile kept on his head. The woman he used to consider an unlucky bearer for getting him stuck in a sudden marriage, now he is even grateful for that fate.

"i love you dear."

"i love you too Arshal." Arshal immediately took Adara's lips in.

"chuck, this cold guy doesn't know where!" shouting someone made the two couples jump in shock and away. Arshal stared intently at the man who was standing leaning against the doorstep looking at him cynically.

"i'm here to see brother-in-law, and it turns out you're kissing" he said casually and then walked up to Adara.

"she's beautiful." he praised Adara making a blush of embarrassment, while Arshal immediately blocked Adara so that the man in front of her could not see his wife's face.

"ish, possessive basics, I just want to see it." cried Almero smiled cynically.

"hey kid's in a coma, just go home and rest there. Than you're paralyzed here again."

Almero chuckled softly, "cih, I am strong Shal, do you know I can still be healthy spiritual body until now, even though I have been injected with deadly liquid by the witch." said the man

"grandmother magic?"

"who else would it be if not Le—" Arshal instantly shut the man's mouth with his hand. Even immediately he pulled the rude man out of Adara's room.

Almero continued to rebel to be released, he looked intently at his uncle's cousin. "ish, I just got out of Arshal hospital, you have the heart." his grunts wagged his clothes that were tangled due to the actions of his cousin.

"don't tell Adara about it." said Arshal to do point.

"why? why can't you tell her?" tanya Almero.

"the color I don't want him to feel guilty. Adara even though her stepbrother hated her but the woman loved her brother very much." said Arshal slowly. He knew that if his wife had such a noble heart, there was not the slightest bit of grudge on his half-brother that almost caused him harm.

Almero laughed crisply, "stepbrother?" the thrill of smiling slanted, making Arshal look at him in wonder.

"iyaa, why? you don't believe it?"

Almero nodded, "yes I can't believe Leta's half-brother Adara. Do you know the surprising fact of it all?" the thrill makes the man who has one child more curious.

"Leta and Adara are siblings."

Deg.

"What??"
