Divorced for Poor

Chapter 43. Like A Queen

After breakfast, Siti's mother told Lilis and Nathan to go to Bu RT's house because there was a thanksgiving event. He was asked to help make Javanese cuisine, because later there will be some guests who like Javanese cuisine.

Lilis cleans up food containers and washes dirty dishes. Afterwards, Lilis joins Nathan and Naina who are playing dolls. A beautiful doll given by Nathan before marriage first, now become Naina's favorite doll.

Lilis sat down next to her husband, while Naina put her doll sister near Nathan to sleep.

"Mother, Naina wants a sister who can cry and laugh," said Naina looking rather irritated.

"Yes, I'll buy you one who can cry. There are, of course, a lot in the toy store" Lilis said with a smile.

"It's not a toy" Naina said.

"Not a toy, so what?" tanya Lilis was curious.

"My wife, Dedek may be what Naina means" Nathan replied with a laugh.

"Yes dad. Grub baby."

"Oh, baby grandpa? And then baby. Mom and dad just learned to make baby grandpa. Naina just wait, later if Naina has entered school, her baby grandpa may have just been born," Nathan said while holding back a laugh.

"Certainly mother?" ask Naina.

"Yes, Naina. Now, Naina continues to play with her doll, father and mother accompany her here," said Lilis softly.

Naina is back playing with her favorite doll. While Nathan pulls Lilis to get closer to him.

"Look, Naina wants to have a cutie. We have to try harder, so we can realize Naina's wish" Nathan said, teasing Lilis.

"Have... Mas, too, right?" god Lilis Back.

"Didn't you want to either?" nathan replied while kissing Lilis' cheek.

Lilis face turned red in embarrassment. Nathan can indeed make Lilis' life feel meaningful as a wife. It was so different when he was with Desta. Desta cares more about his phone than he does. While together, Nathan almost never held a cell phone. She would prefer to tease Lilis and Naina.

"Mas, the vegetable supply is up. Later, I'm going to go to the market for a bit" Lilis said, asking Nathan for permission.

"Let me drive you. When?"

"Later, a little shit."

Nathan stood up and stepped towards the room. Not long after, he had already returned with something in his hand. He sat back next to Lilis.

"Here, my hard-earned money all along. Now, everything I have is yours, including my money since I was young. But you don't have to worry, I'll never ask you about your money. Your hard-earned money will still be yours" Nathan said seriously.

Lilis stared at a card she had seen before she married Nathan. The card was now given to him without him having to ask for it like a beggar. Lilis eyes glazed over, for the first time, Lilis received money from the husband's hard work.

"What's up, baby? Take it, use it for our daily needs. You can also use it to buy your personal needs. The point is, this money is yours."

Lilis received a card from her husband with her sweetest smile accompanied by a deep sense of wonder.

"Thank you, Mom."

Nathan hugged his wife's body lovingly. Nathan doesn't realize Lilis is remembering her past. It was bitter for Lilis. It turns out that Desta was different from Nathan in any way. But in Lilis' heart, will it all last a long time, or just a moment? However, Lilis will enjoy what she has right now.

After a bit of daylight, Lilis and Nathan went to the market that Lilis used to go to. Nathan holds Naina who is smiling as it is good to go out with Nathan. After the market, they go to the nearest supermarket to just look around. If they like something, they will buy it.

They also went to the playground that was in the Supermarket. Naina enjoys playing a few games while being accompanied by Nathan's father. The sound of their laughter rang out without any burden.

Without them realizing it, what they have done since entering the Supermarket has become the center of someone's attention. Even that person, feeling very sick of seeing Nathan's attention on Lilis and her child.

That person turned out to be Desta. He and Thunder went to shop for their daily necessities. As Desta watched, Nathan was with Lilis and his daughter, Desta trying to follow them out of curiosity.

During her marriage to Lilis, Desta never once took Lilis to the supermarket. Never go to the supermarket, never go to the store. Let alone to buy Lilis clothes, for daily eating purposes only, Desta is very calculating and stingy.

Desta felt hurt for Nathan. This was all because Nathan had so much money that he could pamper Lilis. With so much effort Desta approached Lilis back, it had been in vain.

In his heart, Desta promised to make Nathan have nothing. Desta wanted to see, would Nathan still be able to pamper Lilis like now when she didn't have the money she used to?

***

Lilis was shocked when she was at the cashier. So many things he bought. He looked at Nathan who was smiling and nodding gesturing to just pay up, as is. Lilis followed Nathan's cue.

So many groceries made Lilis curious. Whatever is in it. Arriving home, Lilis immediately opened one of them. It turned out to be a dress that Lilis liked very much. But it's not like he didn't buy it.

Lilis was stunned remembering something. Mas Nathan's. Lilis rushed to see Nathan to ask about it.

Nathan, tired of holding Naina, settles down on the sofa in the living room. Lilis approached him with a question mark. He sat on the edge of the sofa where Nathan lay.

"What's up, baby. Do you want to know about some groceries today?" nathan asked while lying down.

"Yes, Mom."

"I noticed, you liked it a lot. But you deliberately do not want to buy it because it is expensive. Don't you? You are now Nathan Sugara's wife, so whatever you like, don't look at the price. Buy everything you want."

"Thank you, Mom. However, Lilis did not want to waste too much money on things that can still be held, things that are not too important," said Lilis.

"All right, sweetheart. I appreciate your principles. I'm sorry, next time I won't do it again" Nathan said rather sadly.

"Mas, I didn't mean to make you feel guilty. I'm really happy because you've given me a surprise. Just don't be frequent. Finding money is not easy. It's better to buy the things we really need" Lilis said, holding Nathan's hand.

Nathan smiled, then kissed his wife's hand.

"If you're happy, try it tonight. I want to see my wife wearing the clothes I bought."

"Yes, Lilis will definitely wear it. Now rest in the room. Mas Nathan must be very tired, finished carrying Naina earlier. I'll have a massage later," said Lilis with a smile.

"I don't just need a massage, I need your warmth, too" Nathan said.

"It's still noon, Mas. The words have been slurred," said Lilis with a smile.

"Say, if you want more, you don't have to hesitate. How do you even answer that, PHP in me," said Nathan sulked.

"Yes, Mas. Maafin Lilies. Then, let's take a shower first, let's get it clean."

"Can. We shower together."

After saying so, Nathan immediately lifted up Lilis' body and brought her to the bathroom to bathe together. Lilis simply enjoyed the times she had never felt before with gratitude. Now she really has a husband who can make her think differently about marriage.

The marriage that made her queen in the house and in the heart of her husband.
