CONFISCATED WIFE
BEDTIME STORY

"Serena," call Marvin slowly.

Then poked Serena's cheek with the tip of her index. This girl, of course, should not sleep in her room. What would happen if Clara and all the workers in this house knew.

"Serena, bangun. Cepat pergi ke kamarmu." Sekarang mengguncang bahu Serena.

"Hm." The girl turned around and grabbed Marvin by the shoulder.

"Se-serena! Hey, release! Get out of my room! Get up!" There is no other way but with firmness. Just like her sister who died, Serena also turned out to be delegated.

"P-Sir Boss?" Justright. Serena's eyes opened. He was shocked at his position hugging Marvin. Immediately break away.

"Why did I hug the Boss?! Don't fuck around, Boss! Boss sir deliberately put my hand on Mr Bo's shoulder?!" Serena blamed Marvin.

"What?! Fucking Cat! I'm not the one doing it! You hug me, Serena! Go quickly!" expel Marvin.

She pulled Serena's hand towards the exit.

"Remember, don't tell anyone that you've been in my room a lot, or you know the consequences" Marvin whispered as Serena passed.

"May I not forget, Boss. If I suddenly forget and tell someone the same story, it's not my fault."

"Don't forget."

Marvin shut the door immediately. Then quickly turn on the laptop and open the application used to delete CCTV data.

Afterwards, he broke down and used his hands as a cushion. Marvin daydreamed looking at the ceiling, as if he was thinking of something.

"Papa respects your decision. But if one day you regret it, don't expect papa to help you. Remember one of the business principles of a mobster that you teach. 'Be careful of opponents and friends. Opponents should not be forgiven, friends should not be given hearts.' You keep that in mind, Marvin."

"How many times have I told Papa that I don't want to be a mobster like Papa! I want to be a business man, Pa! Not criminals!"

Apparently, Marvin was recalling his conversation with the papa a few days ago before he brought Serena to this apartment. Forgiving Wandira the king of gambling was his choice, his papa already knew and handed the decision to Marvin. But Marvin still kept Serena's secret.

"What if you know I'm married under my hands?" muttered.

Marvin sighed and closed his eyes. In fact, he returned insomnia. He turned over repeatedly, hugging the roll, kicking the blanket, face down, and supine.

"Damn! Why can't you sleep, 'clean?!" Want to take sleeping pills can not because the doctor Fathir has given him a schedule.

"Arrrhhh," he lamented.

Then the phone turns on. Marvin took it right away. Turns out it was a message from a contact he named, 'Cat.' It was unknown since when the name was written on his HP.

"Thank you, Boss. Hehe. If the nails are longer, I can't ask the Boss to cut my nails?"

Marvin smiled as he read the message.

"That's the last time! I did it because I remembered my sister, too" he replied.

"I'm guessing, you're not being sincere" Serena replied.

"Why not sleep?" ask Marvin.

"I miss my mom and my sisters."

"Why is it just your mom and your sisters? You don't miss your papa?"

"No!"

Be them with messages.

...***...

Serena is shocked because Marvin suddenly calls her. He just returned his message.

"Why Mr Boss? I'm going to sleep."

"Please tell me something, I can't sleep."

"What's? What's the matter, Mr. Boss can't sleep with my story?"

"I'm insomnia."

"You want insomnia or not is none of my business. Don't disturb my sleep. I'm going to school tomorrow. Why don't you just ask Miss Clara?" reject Serena.

"Hmm, I don't want to bother him. Quick story again. If not --."

"You're threatening me, aren't you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ish, but there's a condition."

"What conditions?"

"I want HP that can VC. I miss my mom and my sisters. I want to see their faces. The cheapest one, Mr. Boss."

"Hmm, I'll consider."

"They."

"alright. Oiya, there are other conditions."

"What else?"

"Tomorrow morning, you must tell someone to wake me up. Afraid of bad luck, Boss."

"Why not set an alarm? HP has an alarm."

"Can't Mr. Boss. I had someone wake me up and shake my body. The alarm won't work."

"Hmm, okay. Quick story."

"Emm, in ancient times, in the country of Antah Denies, there was a beautiful girl named Eren."

"Why is her name always Eren, who yesterday was also Princess Eren, right?"

"Ish, you want me to tell you no 'sih?! Boss, just listen, can't you?"

"Oh, o-okay all right, move on."

Serena then told, the origin story as she pleased. But in the middle of the story, the girl spoke unclearly. Marvin who still listened automatically confusion.

"Hello, Serena? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"People of mangoes, emm ..., round, under the table there is a stone .. emm ... there is a mattress ...." Serena spoke in her eyes closed.

"Serena? You're raving. You sleepy? Hey, why are you so sleepy?"

"The fire country attacked the ant's hole."

"What?"

"Hwcshh ..., hzhzhh...." The sound of Serena's breath.

"Hmm, you cat. Hoamm, I'm also getting sleepy. Thanks for the story, emm ... Princess Eren."

...***...

As per last night's agreement, Marvin kept his word. He told a servant to wake Serena. Thankfully, after being shaken five times by the maid, Serena finally woke up as well.

After the maid who woke up left, Serena rushed to the bathroom. He shook his head so he wouldn't sleep. Continue bathing, getting ready, doing routine activities, and preparing for school needs.

"If you have not been able to adapt to eating with the waiter, you can have breakfast in the school cafeteria. My staff took care of it."

The face of Serena sumringah as she read the message.

"Thank you, Mr. Boss," he replied.

"Don't walk, just take the school bus."

"Every Boss."

Not wanting to be argued by the waiter, at 06:00 local time, Serena left the apartment.

...***...

In the lobby of the apartment, he meets his former kidnapper, Hugo.

"Good morning, Miss," said Hugo.

"You're just me?"

Serena turned her eyes. Because, he had just realized that the man in front of him was the one who saw him kissed by Marvin as well as the person who was in the vidio when Marvin and his father made the wedding vows. One more man only recorded the side of his body. So Serena couldn't remember.

"No breakfast yet, Miss?" Hugo stalked Serena out of the apartment.

"You have breakfast in the school cafeteria" Serena replied. The pace is getting faster.

"I have to make sure that you actually get on the school bus" Hugo explained.

"Oh, I thought I was going to kidnap me again" Serena said.

"Haha." Hugo laughed instead.

"Not funny!" ketus Serena's.

"That's the school bus, miss." Hugo pointed across the street.

"I know." Serena went there. Hugo kept a close eye until Serena got the seat.

...***...

The atmosphere on the bus was so good. Because, some of the students/schoolers, there are classmates with Serena. Those who know that Papa Serena is bankrupt, seen looking at Serena with a cynical and pseudo gaze alias not easily defined. Who does not know, can only stare at the astonishment, because the Miss suddenly boarded the school bus.

"Father just saw you" said the driver. Yes, Serena was deliberately sitting close to Mr. Driver so that she was not easily intimidated by students/students who knew her.

"I've also just seen, Father," Serena replied casually. The driver was smiling by Serena.
