Seizing Your Love

42. Melani's Question

"none. I just want to help him, I have no intention of interfering in his affairs." replied Arleta. Restandi is still not satisfied with that answer.

"Arleta she once ruined your relationship with Kevin. But you're still worried about him." Restandi was confused.

"That's how it used to be, I don't feel vengeful about him. Kevin, too, who is wrong should not be tempted. I also feel sympathy, because he and his sister must not have an easy relationship" said Arleta. From here Restandi realized that Arleta already knew the relationship between Armando and Melani, out of nowhere.

"You want to tell Armando about this?" Restandi asked. Arleta shook her head.

"no need. It's none of my business." replied Arleta briefly. Restandi so understand, Arleta just help because it is needed no matter who the person.

"Not like this anymore, baby. Don't involve yourself with dangerous things." Restandi said while hugging Arleta. He was regretting why Arleta had to see that.

"Yes I promise." said Arleta to calm Restandi down. She was also scared in fact, her heart only calmed down after Restandi hugged her.

"Why don't you call me?" tanya Restandi, still hugging Arleta.

"I don't think because I'm worried and confused." Arleta was honest with her answer.

"Now you call Revita, you know you're okay." Restandi took off her embrace. Arleta realized that Restandi was right. As Arleta contacted Revita, Restandi poured warm tea for his wife.

"Other times if her husband goes with her non, don't stay at home." Restandi said as he offered his wife some tea. Restandi's words to Arleta became a rebuke. The husband at his wife's house went to the mall with his friend.

Melani is now learning to hide her feelings. Although he was disappointed in Armando but never seen him. Armando was too busy with his affairs. She was already determined to keep Melani, her engagement to Trisia was just a charade. Armando and Trisia will perform together if needed. Until the time is right, Armando will break off his engagement to Trisia. But Armando's silence makes Melani misunderstand, Melani feels Armando has no choice and must obey Mauren. That means his relationship with Armando has no future. Mauren doesn't like him anyway. What's more if Mauren knew the breakup of Arleta and Kevin, Melani could not imagine Mauren's response. Melani remembers Lordy's words if Avery was looking for her. Melani is desperate to meet Avery, but she can't possibly say that to Armando. Because he kept his identity a secret. After thinking for a long time, Melani finally chose Arleta to contact her. She had no other friends and her heart feeling told Arleta the most appropriate. Melani also visited the Arleta clinic on the grounds that she would do facial treatment on Dita. Melani does not want to be accompanied when she meets Arleta in her study.

"I'm sorry if I bother you" Melani said with a regretful face.

"No, but I'm surprised by your fatality." Arleta was surprised, they weren't good friends.

"Arleta I know you may not like me, but what you did yesterday makes me understand you're a good man." Melani said sincerely.

"I hurt you once, I don't know if Kevin had a girlfriend when I knew him. I like him, even though I don't love him. I teased him because my life was free and I was alone. By the time I found out Kevin had a girlfriend I didn't part with him because I saw Kevin wasn't serious about you. He always avoids you and has no intention of going home. So I'm judging Kevin doesn't love you. But it turns out I was wrong. Kevin loves you very much. That's what I saw when I came here to get back to him. Turns out he was expecting you even though you were engaged. Sorry Arleta I was wrong. Right now I'm in love with Armando and I love him. But your mama has rejected me." Melani said sadly. Arleta can see who Melani really is.

"Listen Melani, I never hated you. There's a pain in knowing Kevin is with you. For some time I felt sick remembering that, but I never hated you. I just can't see you guys. But it's over. I'm fine now. I know your relationship with my sister. But I just found out that mom rejected you." Arleta was sympathetic to Melani. He knows what Mauren is like.

"Yes Mauren came to see me at the hospital. I also knew Armando was engaged to Trisia, which further narrowed my expectations." Melani felt defeated.

"But you're still together, that means my brother's serious about you." Arleta knows how Armando is.

"But I don't deserve him. I see Trisia loves her she deserves more for Armando" Melani said sincerely. Then Arleta could do nothing. The one who has to convince Melani is Armando. But the stubborn man Armando is nothing like Restandi, who can convince him even without love. Armando was too cold and busy with his own thoughts.

"So now what do you want." asked Arleta.

"I heard from Lordy yesterday that my brother Avery was looking for me. I want to meet him. But I don't want Armando to know, he'll ask about Lordy." Melani reasoned to Arleta.

"Your brother's looking for you?" Is it possible that he contacted Armando, Arleta thought. During this time Armando protects Melani and hides the girl in her apartment. Armando is possessive abis.

"You want me to find out?" ask Arleta.

"If you want to help me, I'm very grateful" Melani said hoping. Arleta thought for a moment.

"Well shall I do what I can "answer Arleta. Melani. He had no one to help him. After Melani Arleta thought about what she should do. Then who can help him. Arleta thinks if she's looking for Melani, where are you looking? Must be in Armando's office. Then why Avery can't meet Melani, maybe Armando doesn't want Melani to meet Avery. Her brother's possessive attitude made Arleta so that she could draw conclusions . Arleta decides to meet Arsen. Maybe Arsen knows about this. Arleta makes an appointment for lunch with Arsen.

"Siang mbak Arleta sorry to have to wait for me." said Arsen to Arleta who had been waiting for him at the restaurant.

"Yes it's okay. We'll order some food first." Arleta knew Arsen must be busy, so she didn't want to make the man's lunch time wasted. After ordering their food, they started talking.

"Arsen, I want to ask you something. Is anyone looking for Melani?" ask Arleta frankly.
