I'm Young Wife
S2_74. Nara's Business
After asking Alex for permission and sending Serena to Mak Marni, Nara immediately rushed to find Vera. The news has only been spread for a few days. And most likely Vera is still in her house. So Nara's headed there right away.
It had been almost half an hour Nara stood in front of the majestic gate of the city mayor's residence C. If it was in ordinary circumstances, the two guards standing guard in front would not have taken long to allow Nara to enter.
But under the current circumstances, everything is clearly different.
Once again Nara tried to get information from the two guards.
“Come Mr. Rudi. Cook you don't believe me?”
“Not so non. But I have to do my job. This is my job.”
“Well if I can't get in. But please tell me, is Vera okay? I'm very worried about him.”
Mr. Rudi turned to his comrade who was standing not far from them. Through the look of their eyes, they had discussions in their own way. Shortly after, fellow sir Rudi nodded.
“This non.” Mr. Rudi waved his hand. Ask Nara to come closer.
“This is actually a non secret. But since non Nara is her friend non Vera, non may know.” Nara nodded her thighs. That means he also has to keep the mayor's residence secret.
“Actually non Vera has not been at home since Mr. Siddar was brought with the KPK. Non Vera go because of anger.” Obviously Mr. Rudi with a soft voice.
“Then where is Vera?” Nara asked in shock.
“We don't know either. Madam and Ferdi are also looking for her. But non Vera not found.” Nara quiet. He thought where would Vera possibly go at such a time?
After getting nothing but news of Vera's disappearance, Nara decides to return home. It's not good to leave Serena for a long time. There is still no bright spot about Vera's existence.
The news he had just got was also conveyed to Syila and Gita. Hoping for the two to help him think about where Vera is right now.
“I'd love to go home. But if I'm desperate to go home, I will no longer be able to return.” Syila said in despair. His parents initially banned him from studying abroad. But Syila insisted. And finally his parents can only support and give him a little pressure.
“I understand. The important thing is please help me think about where Vera is going? If we're here by then maybe Vera's going to be where we are. But back then we weren't on his side.”
“I feel like a bad friend.” Gita.
“Ah! We have to think like Vera.” Syila got the idea.
“You mean?” ask Nara and Gita.
“Vera is a girl who loves shopping, walking, and hanging out. And the most likely place is mall.” Gita gave her assumption.
“But all that takes money. As for what I know all the assets of the mayor's residence are being frozen. Doesn't that mean Vera's account is also included. Without any money, how could he do all that?” Gita's opinion was immediately broken by Nara's words.
“Yah. Also where is it possible someone will be at the mall every time?”
“At least if know Vera will often be in the mall, we will have many chances to find her.” Gita is back.
“Hei hey! It's like you're gonna fly right here and come looking. Right now there is only me. There are dozens of malls here. And we don't know where Vera's gonna turn up. Do you think I can split my body and spread it all over the city huh?” Nara raised her tone. The idea that the Gita put forward was like easy to do. But if only Nara moved it would be very difficult.
“You contact me when you have found a solution. My in-laws are sick. I have to see it first.” Nara said before breaking her connection all of a sudden. Making the two friends who wanted to make fun of him was forced to swallow their words with a cocky feeling.

Serena was talking to Mak Jum when Nara entered her room. From outside the room there was a small laugh from inside. Nara smiled happily. She was happy to hear Serena laughing.
“Wah looks like you guys are having enough fun. Can Nara join?” Nara walked in with a smile on her lips. Serena smiled to see her daughter-in-law enter her room. Alex ignored it. But at least his daughter-in-law is kind and considerate of him. He should be grateful.
Mak Jum who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed immediately stood up when he saw Nara enter. But Nara immediately stopped him.
“No need to move Mak Jum.” Nara. He pulled a chair to get closer to Serena.
“Mama is feeling better? Is there anything less comfortable?” Nara stroked the back of Serena's hand.
Serena smiled. That little attention warmed him up. “Mama is fine. Just stay weak. Don't worry.” Serena cupped Nara's hand which was still on the back of her hand.
“Nara is relieved to hear it. Oh yeah, you guys seemed to have a nice conversation. What are you talking about?”
“Oh we were talking about Alex when he was a kid. Try you see this.” Serena grabbed the photo album that was on the nightstand. Then give it to Nara. Letting her daughter-in-law open a memory sheet containing memories of the past.
“This is Alex ma?” nara asked when she found a picture of a baby that looks funny even though she is crying.
“Hem. Mama thought you'd never see a baby as handsome and as adorable as Alex as a child.” Serena was busy showing some photos in the album.
Unfortunately, some of the photos there are gone. The missing photo is a photo of Serena inside. Just a picture of Alex and Yoga, Papa Alex. The perpetrator of the photo's disappearance was Alex himself. He asked Mak Marni to burn all the photos of Serena in the Juantama mansion after Yoga's death.
Previously, Yoga always cared for and cherished every memory of Serena. Until he died, Yoga still loved Serena even though she had been betrayed. That's what makes Alex hate so much that his name is love. According to him, love makes a person unreasonable and stupid.
Nara also realized the awkwardness. Some empty places. He can also guess which photo has been removed. So he did not want to ask what would make Serena sad.
“Look. Alex is handsome like his papa.” Serena points to a photo of Yoga sitting with Alex. Alex was seven years old. At a young age, Alex looks very handsome. And seeing Alex at this moment would definitely think that Alex is the reincarnation of Yoga. They both look the same.
“Yah. They both look.”
Serena wiped the photo. His eyes glared far into the past. A time when her little family lived peacefully even though Serena had no love for Yoga.
