The Destiny of a Wife

26. Birthdays and Mysterious Gifts

Serina waved her hand as the car in her parents' vehicle drove away from her yard. Finally now he could breathe quietly as they left on their own.

There is a sense of discomfort when an old man who has never been warm to her suddenly comes and acts as if he is very affectionate towards her. instead of her he hates his parents, he is not, for all the behavior of not wearing his father and mother Serina never harbored any hatred towards them.

The mother-of-one returned home, after her parents had Naura to interrogate.

Talking about the interrogation, he asked his father about his house, ranging from a cheap house to all the furniture in it that still looks new when he first bought this house.

It was unexpected that his Father and Mother did not know about the Purchase of his House now.

Then who?

Serina had a thought about who lightened her load, a name that was in her head.

Arga.....

Serina shook her head trying to remove Arga's name from her current mind - there was no way the man could have been!.

As Serina locked the door of the House, faintly in her ears heard Naura's laughing voice from the direction of Arina's room and her footsteps led her to her daughter's room.

"Why can you be this blanket dear" Naura kissed the entire surface of Arina's face, not realizing that Serina was behind her earlier.

"Look at this puffed cheek! soon it will explode" she said, Baby Arina who saw her aunt laughing also laughed as if she understood what Naura said.

Seeing the happiness that emanated from the two important people in her life Serina felt warm covering her heart. The girl was the daughter of her nanny once one of the people who loved her as much as her own child, after her mother now her daughter who became an important part of her life.

Naura is a young girl who always supports her from behind, helping and taking care of her like the girl's own family. There was a sense of concern when she found out that Naura was the daughter of her Nanny first, it meant that Naura had lived for years without her parents.

Serina's daydream was split when Arina whined when she saw him, Naura who knew it also turned her head back was surprised when she saw Serina standing behind her.

"Mr?"

Naura put Arina inside her Baby Box then approached Serina while looking down.

Don't know what Serina has to do if she has to scold this girl for being her old man's spy?, or has to hug the girl for having to lose her mother when she was very young?.

Grep's!

Serina is still Serina who will never forget the smallest possible good just because of the evil that others have done to her.

Naura hugged Serina tightly, the girl crying profusely in Serina's arms.

"I'm sorry Ma'am" Isak

"You're not wrong" Reply Serina calmed Naura down.

.

Months have passed now that Serina and the employees at her tavern are celebrating Arina's first birthday. The petite girl who became the main lead today was looking very pretty with a pink dress attached to her puffer body.

The invited guests, who were Serina's employees and neighbors, gave the little girl lots of gifts and congratulations.

"Grow into a strong girl like your mother" her neighbor Maya's mother who often helps her congratulate Arina, the middle-aged woman also gives Arina a gift box.

"Thank you Auntie" Serina said, while Arina seemed to really like the gift of the woman.

"Please enjoy Aunt's dishes"

Ms. Maya chuckled, "All right, actually Auntie wanted to bring Malvin here earlier, but the boy refused and chose to sleep until night" she said" there is a tone as Maya when talking about her Son who until now is still single.

Serina could only laugh awkwardly, This one neighbor did often talk about her son while with her, and she knew very well the direction of this conversation.

"If Malvin could have a wife like you Serina" Right, Maya's mother often betrothed him to her son, even the other neighbors also followed because Maya's mother often talked to other neighbors. fortunately, his house was far from other neighbors.

'Know not' Serina said in her heart

"I'm not that good bi" Sanggah Serina, because it's true if he is as good as it is not possible that his marriage can be destroyed as it is now.

Ms. Maya flicked her hands in the air, "At least you're better than my son" she replied Flattering Serina.

Hearing that Serina who was carrying Arina could only grimace when Bu Maya instead vilified her own son.

"Sorry Auntie, it looks like Arina is hungry"

"Go, don't starve my granddaughter"

After saying goodbye to the others Serina asks Naura to handle the show as she goes to feed Arina.

Putting the little baby on the bed then Serina started making her porridge, after Serina was ready to feed Arina painstakingly, the little girl occasionally muttered funny that made her unable to stop laughing.

Clamps!

Naura went into Arina's room with a large gift box in her hand, almost not even being able to bear the weight of the load.

"What are you carrying?"

Naura put the box down

"There's a delivery for Arina Mbak" he said and walked over to Arina.

Serina frowned her astonished, who sent the gift? father and mother could not have sent it because they were both out of town and they had also sent gifts two days before the event. Then who sent them?.

"Mom!"

Naura's shout resuscitated Serina, "Yes?"

Again the Mama daydreamed, "Mad better open the card, let me feed this puffy Baby" he said while pinching Arina's cheek until flushed.

Serina nods at Arina's mother and begins to untie her tightly binding Arina's gift.

The first time the gift box was opened was a letter wrapped in a gold envelope, when Serina read the inscription on the envelope, just three words 'Happy Birthday Arina'.

Leaving her letter and Serina turned to the contents in the box, first there was a medium-sized but large white teddy bear for Arina to hold, then five stacks of fairy tale books, and then, a set of Navy colored dresses are visible, last eyes Serina rounded when looking at jewelry ranging from earrings, necklaces, and also a bracelet stored neatly in a velvet box in it.

"Geez!" Pekek Naura was surprised to see all the jewelry.

"Who sent all this?" Restless Serina, how could she accept all this when it was not clear who the sender was.

"So the one who delivered only Mbak's courier" Serina said.

Serina put all the stuff back in her box, when she was about to put the white teddy bear back suddenly Arina whined while pointing at the doll.

"It's not a pity that you can buy another one later" declined Serina.

Not that he understood the tiny baby was whining even harder.

"Just give me Mbak" Usul Naura anyway it's just a puppet he thought.

Serina let out a long sigh it was impossible to resist the request from her cute little daughter.

"It's just this doll"

Arina laughed happily even the little girl hugged her doll happily. Serina and Naura who saw that were also happy with their baby padlocks.

"I've sent you a gift, sir" The man in the courier uniform called the master who gave him the assignment.

"Hn"

Tut's...

The man who sent Arina a mysterious gift shuts down her phone after receiving a message.

A slanted smile fell on her thin lips, "Happy Birthday" he muttered, among the darkness.
