CHAPTER 13. CAUTIONARY VAREN

“Of course! It's late afternoon and I think maybe you're lost. That's why I want to find you.” replied Varen calmly. He had also just arrived home before his wife.

Reina walked past Varen, her lips smiling at her husband's answer. “The distance from the front of the house is quite far. That's why I just got to.”

Reina kept her luggage on the table and sat on the sofa.

“You walk? Why not take a taxi?” ask Varen with your jaw hardened. ‘The distance from the intersection to this house is quite far. Is he tired of walking? Ah, I have to do something to help her.’ whispered Varen's heart.

Reina smiled faintly and said, “My mother is here again. I had to print a job application and go to some places. So the money runs out for the fare and print the letter.” explained Reina showed a piece of green money on Varen.

The look of Varen's eyes dimmed, his face immediately turned sad.  Reina pulled her husband's hand to sit next to her. “You just calm down. I got a job in a good position. I will work as a secretary at Kenz Corp. I will earn a lot of money enough to meet our needs.” Reina said in a carefree tone.

Not feel happy. Varen lowered his head and looked at his wife's feet. His mind drifted far away thinking of something. Reina frowned in surprise looking at her husband's demeanor who looked sad. “Why? You're not happy I got a job?”

Varen shifted the table and sat down parallel to Reina's feet. He grabbed his wife's leg. “I'm glad you got a job but tomorrow-tomorrow you come home in a taxi. The distance from the front is far. Look at! Your legs until they blister. How can you walk every day with legs like this?”

Reina was stunned as she did not expect that Varen would notice her leg injury. Reina immediately pulled her leg out of embarrassment at Varen touching her feet that might smell or not.

“Don't worry, it's just a small wound. Later smeared drug also cured itself.”

Varen sighed then rose to his feet taking the ointment from the medicine box. Then he sat back on the floor, “Whatever minor injuries still hurt and had to be treated. Otherwise the wound could be infected and blister.”

Varen applied the ointment to the surface of his wife's wound. She even blew it away so much that it made Reina feel touched by the little attention Varen gave her.

His embarrassment disappeared and he didn't care if Varen would smell his feet. Reina just focused on paying attention to the handsome face of her husband.’Why is he so similar to Mr Verdi?’ whispered heart.

“You applied for one company only today?” varen asked Reina from her daydream.

“No! I went to several companies but none of them accepted me. I was even expelled for asking for donations, probably because of my appearance. My clothes are also dull so they think so.” replied Reina while laughing amusedly.

“There is indeed a beggar or ask for donations as beautiful as me? Their time can not distinguish people want to apply for the same job asking for donations! But that's how it is. Usually people only judge from appearance only! Though I was already smiling sweetly.” said Reina added while laughing again.

Varen did not show any expression. His face still looks flat. “Then how did you get to Kenz Corp? It's a big company and its location is far in the city center.”

Reina knitted her brows recalling the incident she had experienced today.

“Actually I was hesitant to propose there. A small company just rejected me let alone a big company like that. But there's a nice guy who helps me, his name is Felix!”

Varen looked up as he raised one of his eyebrows and asked, “A man helps you just like that and you take it? Aren't you scared?”

“I also don't know why that guy helped me. But I won't get close to him. I just want to work there and make money for us.” said Reuna trying to convince her husband.

“Do not trust too much in people you just know. You should be more careful. Don't get to know strangers and talk to them. Remember Reina, there are so many scams today. You have to be careful next time.” said Varen.

Reina immediately nodded, “OK I understand. Uh! But there was someone who looked like you. Only different eye and hair colors. Face and others are very similar.” said

Reina while remembering the face of the man she met earlier. After noticing her husband's face, she admits that Varen looks a lot like Verdi.

Varen just silently rubbed the ointment into the wound on Reina's leg. “Do you like it?”

“You mean?” Reina frowned.

“The man you said looked like me. You seem to like it?” varen said without diverting his attention from his wife's feet.

“Only! Judging from any side, you are still more handsome than that man.” Reina.

“I'm handsome? Really?” Varen looked up again.

“Yes you tam---” Reina immediately smothers her own mouth. His face felt hot as he realized the words that had just come out of his lips. ‘Ouch! How embarrassing!’ his inner.

“Not to be ashamed! It never hurts to praise your husband. You are also beautiful especially if your cheeks blush red so!” varen said, smiling.

Reina was indeed beautiful, even more beautiful than Elora. Reina always looks innocent without makeup alone already looks very beautiful, in contrast to Elora who always polishes her face with makeup.

The blush! Reina's face grew hotter, she cleared her throat trying to neutralize her feelings. His heart pounded as Varen praised him.

“How about you. Have you got a job?” tanya Reina switched the conversation.

Varen shook his head and sat down beside Reina. “Too hard for me to split my time.” he explained.

Reina scrunched her forehead, not understanding the meaning of her husband's words. What does Varen have to divide his time with? With who? Isn't he a bully? Every day it was unclear what he was doing other than waiting for Reina? So what does it mean to say that?

“You've eaten?” ask Varen.

“Not yet. You?” ask Reina bali.

“I haven't eaten either.” replied Varen.

“Thank God! I bought rice padang.” Reina immediately grabbed the plastic package from the top of the desk. “Come to eat! This rice field is delicious loh.” take Reina while guiding her husband's hand.

Towards the night Reina unpacked her suitcase. She wanted to prepare the clothes she would wear for her first day of work, Reina stared sadly at all her faded clothes.

“Tomorrow I have to wear which shirt?” regretted not having brought Elora's old clothes with her when she left her parents' house.
