The Destiny of a Wife

17. Bonding

Today is the first day Serina lives her life alone, not as a wife or a daughter-in-law and daughter of a rich family, but just as an ordinary person who is living her life in peace.

Waking up early this morning Serina planned to go to her shop early.

When she was a wife she had a bit of trouble adjusting the time between taking care of the household and doing business, but now that everything has changed, Serina can manage her shop without thinking about homework.

"Welcome!" Greet a short-haired young girl under the ear cheerfully, as Serina walked into the spacious tavern.

"Serin sir?!" Naura was shocked when she saw the arrival of the owner of the tavern where she worked.

Serina smiled

"How are you? Sorry not to tell you first" Serina said unwell when she saw the shock of her work.

Naura shook quickly

"No Ma'am! This is Serina's mbak shop, it's up to Mbak to come at any time" replied Naura, feeling if the boss is too friendly.

"Alright, we'd better get inside" Serina asked.

The store was indeed not too crowded when Serina came, probably because it was still too early in the morning. The visitors usually come at lunch time or afternoon to fill the stomach.

Serina and Naura sat at one of the empty tables, before Naura went to the kitchen to make drinks and bring snacks for Serina.

"Thank you" Serina said after Naura brought her some food and drinks.

Naura nodded

"Oiya, tumben Mbak here? Is your homework all done?" It was not Naura's intention to forbid Serina to come, only as long as she knew Serina she knew if her boss was reluctant to leave the house.

Not because Serina was lazy, but more to worry when she left the house her husband would come home and not see himself at home, so Naura was a bit surprised earlier.

Serina did not immediately reply, indeed Naura did not know if Arga married again, all this time Serina only reasoned if she had to take care of the house when Naura asked her presence in the tavern.

"Naura..." Call Serina in doubt

"Yes Ma'am?"

"Actually Mbak just got divorced" Serina replied honestly.

Naura was speechless to hear Serina's words, Naura could not believe that the household that Naura had thought was so powerful, could collapse.

Who is a foolish man capable of abandoning a kind woman like Serina?.

"So from now on Ma'am will help you in the tavern" he continued, Serina felt uncomfortable as Naura stared at her pity.

"Bak's okay, right?"

Serina smiled wistfully, after Venya now there was Naura who was also worried about her.

"of course! Now there is no more work that makes Mbak can not go to the tavern" Serina replied with a fluffy smile, looking free without burden.

But Naura knows one thing

All this time Serina's marriage with her husband was not as happy as she thought.

Arga let out a long breath

Again he and Jessie had a fight.

I don't know what the problem is there must be things that make the two of them clash their mouths when they meet.

As now as she was about to leave for work, Arga did not know what the problem was - he just said that if Jessie was not good at cooking, suddenly the pregnant woman was angry and locked the door from the outside.

What's wrong with being honest?

Back when he was with Serina, his ex-wife was never angry or against his words, she always wanted him to be honest about anything.

But, because of the one honesty he revealed to Serina, the woman abandoned her.

Unknowingly his footsteps led to the guest room which was close to the kitchen.

The room is not so big furniture that is not so neatly arranged, even the fragrance that has accompanied him is still left in there.

His body slowly lay tiredly on the bed belonging to his ex-wife first, although not as soft as his king-size mattress but this bed felt very comfortable for him.

Whether consciously or not slowly his eyes began to close enjoying all the scents left there while closing his eyes.

"Serina..." Arga muttered before falling asleep soundly.

.

Towards noon is the right time to look for stomach filler food, in droves people looking for a place to enjoy a break while talking waiting for work.

As of now Serina and Naura are very busy preparing every order from the customers who take turns to enter the store.

One person came out and another person would go in to fill an empty bench, like a lucky store very crowded today.

Serina and Naura were almost overwhelmed by the visitors who came more than usual, but they were happy.

At 17:00 finally the empty shop jumped, the visitors had gone out of Serina's shop.

"Well! It looks like Mbak brought good luck" Naura said as she cleaned the tables that were stained.

Serina who was also mopping the floor just laughed hearing that.

"It feels good to be able to serve customers" Serina smiled faintly.

"real Mbak! Ak- Ma'am?!"

Naura screamed in panic as Serina ran hastily towards the kitchen.

"Geek!"

His stomach feels uncomfortable now, actually he has been holding back nausea since earlier but thankfully the nausea came back when the store was quiet.

Naura who saw Serina spit out her entrails immediately stomped on the woman's nape.

"Sir, we'd better go to the doctor"

Serina felt relieved after successfully removing the nausea she had felt from earlier.

"No need, it is common for pregnant women to experience something like this"

"H-pregnant?" Naura asked in disbelief.

Feeling wrong Serina immediately looked at Naura quickly.

"I-it"

Seeing her boss panic Naura felt guilty.

"Mbak has a husband, so it's natural that Mbak is pregnant" explained Naura so Serina feels comfortable.

Naura leads Serina to sit on the chair and the young girl passes by to get her some warm water.

"Easy?"

Serina nodded

"If I knew Mbak was pregnant I wouldn't let Mbak work too hard" Naura felt guilty when she found out what Serina was going through.

After the divorce with her husband, Serina must definitely take care of her baby alone.

Suddenly, Naura gets annoyed with her boss' ex-husband.

Serina gave a small smile looking at Naura's regretful face.

"It's almost night, it's not good for a girl to go night-night"

Naura Yang heard it snorting.

"I should say it like that, it is not good for pregnant women to walk alone at night" he replied.

Indeed, the house Serina lived in not far from this shop only walked a few minutes they would arrive at Serina's house.
