The Destiny of a Wife

12. Suspicious

"Where have you been?"

Serina smeared chocolate jam on the bread she was about to eat this was the third bread that had entered her stomach, biting a mouthful before she answered a question from her sister-in-law.

Venya plans to take some drinking water to the kitchen when she sees her cousin's sister's wife casually eating bread in the middle of the night, at first he thought it was a waiter but as he walked closer it turned out to be Serina.

"A little while" Serina filled the empty glass with water and gulped it down to the toilet.

His stomach was already full it was time for him to answer the question from his sister-in-law who seemed very curious about his whereabouts.

"After lunch my father and mother asked me to talk so we went to a more private place, after that I felt exhausted so when visiting the garden next to the house I accidentally fell asleep in the long chair" he said half lying, it is true that he spoke with his father and mother and then because he felt like crying he went to the side garden of the house not to sleep but to cry loudly until he forgot the time.

Venya looked at Serina suspiciously, not because of the answer from Arga's wife but when she saw the change and attitude of Serina that made her suspicious.

While being the object of suspicious gaze from Venya trying to avoid the sharp gaze of the older cousin Arga. does not believe his words?.

Serina avoided Venya's sharp gaze by drinking back the water in her glass earlier.

"You pregnant?"

"Ohuk!"

Seeing her brother-in-law choking of course made Venya panic gently he patted Serina's back with his hand, when it felt like he had subsided he distanced his hand.

"Be careful! why is it so surprised like that? I'm just asking"

Serina cleared her nerves.

"Why can you think like that?"

"Why can't it? you are married and have a husband, of course you can get pregnant"

Also true! Serina grimaced in embarrassment feeling stupid with that ridiculous question.

"Eat in the middle of the night, and your body is also a little contained from the last time I saw" he said honestly.

"That's it, it's common! and indeed I've been eating a lot lately plus at home there's no work so the fat in my body is gathering like now!!" reply Serina quickly.

Venya just shook the head of the woman with one child took water in the teapot and then poured it into a glass that he brought as his original purpose to the kitchen.

"Luck it off, I'm just saying it's good if you're pregnant"

Nah!

Serina was eager to shout loudly in front of Venya if it would not be okay if she was pregnant in her current marriage condition.

"According to a sister like that?" lirih Serina

Seeing the sad look on his sister-in-law's face made Venya feel sad, he knew very well what happened with his sister's marriage, must have been a lot of fear that he felt when conditions like this.

"Serina, sooner or later you'll get pregnant and the child you'll bear is Arga's, no matter if the man is married again"

It is true that Serina also does not deny all that but still her decision will not change.

The atmosphere of the Wahyutama residence is very crowded this morning the big family is gathering in the family room, they are all joking and discussing many things together. in addition to the arrival of the little Vania who came along with Kevin's parents wife from Venya, making the atmosphere more cheerful.

"Geez grandpa's granddaughter is getting bigger now!" Satya carried the three-year-old Vania happily.

Even for the sake of welcoming the arrival of the youngest member Wahyutama the head of the family is willing to take a special leave to welcome his grandson.

"Arga congratulations on your second marriage and congratulations on your wife's pregnancy" Kevin's father Adriano congratulates Jessie and Arga, the middle-aged man also brought a gift to Arga.

Unlike her husband who was mediocre towards the second marriage of her besiks Puspa did not feel that way, although only a few times met she was already very fond of Serina like her own daughter, which mother would see her daughter in a duakan? there ain't!.

When the family was busy chatting Serina came with snacks and juices for all of them.

"Please drink it" he said gently.

Puspa who saw Serina came immediately welcomed the beautiful woman into his warm embrace.

"Darling aunt misses you!" said puspa on the sidelines of a close embrace of both.

"Auntie, Serina also misses you" Reply Serina with a hug no less tightly.

"Over time you don't see you get prettier" he said

"Thank you, auntie also looks younger now"

Puspa pulled Serina to sit next to him right in front of Arga who was still attached to Jessie.

"How are you, son?" this time it was Adriano who greeted Serina.

"Okay uncle, what about uncle?"

"Uncle

"Already! later on, talk! now let the mother talk to her daughter!" Puspa interjected, Serina can only smile clumsily.

Everyone is back, Satya and Wanda are busy playing with Vania, while Arga and Jessie? do not be asked whether intentionally or not the two people look very sticky, even though Serina is in front of them.

Back to Puspa and Serina.

Serina looked very happy talking to Puspa no matter how chatty the middle-aged woman was Serina happily answered all her questions, she said, in the midst of the pleasure suddenly the little Vania walked slowly closer to Serina, round eyes full of little girl's longing attracted Serina's attention.

"Eh? what's up, honey?" Serina held Vania up on her lap, as she was very familiar with Serina, Vania was very spoiled for Serina, everyone who saw it was astonished that Vania did not usually behave like that to strangers.

Amidst the noise due to Vania's unusual attitude, suddenly Puspa's voice made Serina stiffen.

"Are you pregnant, son?"

The deg!

Serina who was holding Vania straight straight up her body, the little one who was comfortable in her lap also surprised by the reflexes that Serina did.

"justified? I also had time to suspect it last night" Venya who had not voiced out to chimed in on her mother-in-law.

Everyone stared curiously at Serina, Arga and Jessie who had been busy together since then now looked at him with different views.

Jessie, was the one who was most unhappy if the question from the puspa turned out to be true her gaze pierced full of hate on Serina.

"No! I am not pregnant! w-why do you think like that?" Serina replied quickly withstanding the nervous race that had suddenly attacked her.

Everyone seemed to sigh disappointed as well as Puspa who heard that, but he was very sure if Serina was currently pregnant.

"Usually small children will behave familiar if close to pregnant women, your body shape also looks more filled with aura coming out of you is also very bright, son, so aunt thinks you are pregnant" Puspa's words were similar to what Venya said last night to her.

Satya and Wanda are also aware of her first daughter-in-law's change but they behave normally, while Arga? don't ask again. Busy with Jessie these few months made him unaware of the changes his wife was experiencing.

"You look pale, are you okay Serina?" Adriano realized that Serina looked unwell today.

Serina shook her head "No uncle, I'm just sleep deprived"

"Where did you sleep last night?" Venya asks Serina, when she clearly knows where her sister-in-law slept last night.
