Not Wanting (So) the Second
Episode 31: Serpent Woman

tok.tokm...

Yasmine knocks on the door of Nisha's room which is not closed perfectly. The woman who was drying her hair using a hairdryer turned her head, she threw a sweet smile and then turned off the hairdryer button.

"Come in.., what's the matter..?" nisha said as she turned the dressing chair towards the door.

"Can..?" yasmine asked disinclined, she circulated her surrounding gaze. There was no Agam there, so Yasmine could get rid of the sense of reluctance.

"What's up..?" nisha asked again, hoping that Yasmine would not come to talk about something unexpected.

"taraa....! it's your baby..." Yasmine gives a photo sheet of Ultrasound to Nisha. Nisha's big smile bloomed cheerfully when she received the photo.

"wahhh, she's still so tiny. How's things going? The doctor said you and the baby were healthy, right?"

Yasmine gave a nod, "we're both healthy, it's just that I can't keep up with my craving for spicy food."

"True, spicy food is not good for you. You just say what you want to eat, I'll buy it for you..." Nisha continued to comb her hair, spraying vitamins.

The smell of the vitamin is very fresh and fragrant, making Yasmine close her eyes to enjoy the aroma. "mmm.."

"Had you? You want to try that too?" haggard Nisha with pleasure.

"Here I put it on, sit down..." Nisha makes Yasmine sit on the makeup chair. Then he started combing and spraying the vitamin on Yasmine's head. Nisha looked very attentive to the girl. For one thousand he could find a very good girl like Yasmine.

While her hair was arranged by Nisha, Yasmine observed the ranks of skincare, bodycare, haircare and many other beauty tools neatly arranged on the dresser. In the past, Yamsine had fantasized about having a dressing table that was neatly arranged like Nisha's.

"How much money do you spend on this each month? Do you wear all of this regularly?" point Yasmine at those beauty tools.

"Not too much, because some are not worn every day. And yes, I wear it regularly. Why..? You want one too?" replied Nisha, not forgetting to include with a sweet smile.

"No. I'm just amazed. You deserve to be this beautiful. Your skin is even as soft as snail meat." praise Yasmine while looking at the details of Nisha's hand skin.

"It's a hassle to wear everything. But I have to do it. At least I can give beauty to Agam, because I can't give her offspring."

Yasmine thinned her lips hearing that answer. Suddenly the atmosphere became awkward. He felt guilty for making Nisha say that.

"It's over.. How do you like it?" nisha said as she looked at Yasmine through the reflection of the mirror.

"wahh, this is great. My hair is so soft." Yasmine stroked her hair as if it had run out in a salon. The vitamins of the rich are beyond doubt.

"hahaha, can I buy it for you? After work I'll drop by my subscription store."

"Don't bother, if you give me this one it's okay either." point Yasmine at the vitamin bottle that's half that.

"That's mine, I don't like sharing mine with others. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow." replied Nisha sounding a little flat.

Yasmine's facial sharpness became pias and stiff, because she felt that Nisha's speech just now contained a deeper meaning.

"All the face moisturizers? Or lotion? I'll get you a special pregnant mom if you want."

"Don't bother, ma'am heheh.." Yasmine forced an awkward smile on Nisha. He doesn't want to assume, but he feels that Nisha isn't doing well.

After she finished talking, Yasmine said goodbye to her room. He was shocked when he opened the door, passing by Agam who was about to enter. The man looked at him with flaming eyes like a bull ready to gore at anyone.

Yasmine glanced thinly with her eyebrows bent "floor..! his eyes were like a tiger losing a fight." his mind as he stepped away.

"Mas, where have you been? I think there's an impromptu task." welcome Nisha with a face full of longing.

"From Mama's house." replied Agam coldly, his face implied with anger being held back. Again Ambar talked about Yasmine, until his head felt like breaking.

Nisha sat next to her husband, on the bed. Then he grabbed a golden-brown envelope on the nightstand. "This is an invitation from Professor Hadi, Mas. His son is married."

Professor Hadi is Nisha's senior at Harapan Hospital. He learned a lot from Professor Hadi. Their relationship was also quite close as a fellow fighter.

"When..?" I opened the envelope. He also knew Professor Hadi, though not as close as Nisha.

"No. By the way, you are very fragrant... Where are you going..?" whispered Agam while laying his head on his wife's shoulders. The confusion in her brain instantly disappeared because she heard Nisha's soft voice, and looked at her beauty.

"You seduce you.. heheheh.." Nisha gently rubbed Agam's left thigh.

...~~...

The next day.....

At a luxury hotel, a wedding party is in progress. The guests from the top dominated the party.

Agam and Nisha enter the arena in dusty dresses combined with dark ash Agam suits. The couple joined hands through the table of the guests, towards the table that Professor Hadi had provided in the front row.

"Hai Nisha, welcome.." welcome Professor Hadi.

"Good night sir, how are you.." replied Agam shook the professor's hand.

After a short conversation, professor Hadi said goodbye to greet his other colleagues.

Agam and Nisha chose to sit while enjoying the banquet. The atmosphere still seemed calm because the bride had not yet entered the wedding altar. Classical music and songs accompany the invited guests.

"Pa, brother is ready." call the youngest son Pak Hadi, who is none other than Rika. He told his father to accompany his brother to the altar.

Somehow, his eyes were fixed on Agam. The handsome man who amazed him in a split second stole his attention again this time.

"Why is Yasmine's husband here? Does Yasmine know my sister? Or does that guy know one of my family?" he monologued, while watching Agam and his wife who were chatting with romantic gaze.

"Wait.who is that woman?" Rika sharpened her gaze when she saw the figure of the woman who was with Agam, it was not Yasmine.

"Is she his sister? No. they look so friendly. Or is he the man's mistress..? No.., who brings a mistress to an official event like this? Don't-don't......"

Not wanting to roll the curiosity deeper, Rika also intends to go to Agam to make sure.

"hi..., you know my family, huh..?" sapa Rika makes small talk. His gaze to Agam could not be lied to, he was very captivated by the man. Especially when I see Agam smiling. Yesterday Agam's face was very sniffy just made it melt.

Agam and Nisha looked at the astonished woman. Both cause fine wrinkles on the forehead.

"I was yesterday at the clinic." Rika said again.

"Excuse me, you're Professor Hadi's daughter, right? You guys know each other?" Nisha just remembered, when he was married, Professor Hadi came with his wife and child. Because it was a long time ago, so Nisha pangling with the face of Rika who is now an adult.

"You know me..?" Rika turned to look at Nisha.

"mm, I'm your Papa's co-worker. You used to come to my wedding. This is my husband. You must have forgotten hahah..."

"What...??" Rika broadened. It's not surprising that he and Nisha have met. Rather surprised because Nisha claimed to be Agam's wife. Then Yasmine.....???

Noticing Rika's strange gurgle, Agam's face turned grim. Looks like Rika is very curious about other people's business. Yesterday alone he humiliated Yasmine all-out.

"So..., you're his wife...?" Rika still can't believe it.

"hmm, why..? Why do you look so surprised?" sahut Nisha was astonished.

"No.it's okay. Please enjoy the meal, excuse me..." Rika moved on from there.

"What is Yasmine's second wife? Or are they cheating? Yasmine is really suspicious. So she's married to someone's husband, that's why she didn't spread the invitation? Or was he made a mistress, without getting married? yahoo.. Yasmine was truly a lowly girl." she muttered rubbing Yasmine all by herself.

"Know him?" ask Nisha to her husband.

I just shrugged both shoulders in response. He didn't like to see the snake woman around him. Hopefully the woman doesn't spread what she sees. It could destroy the reputation of both of their extended families, if the public knew they were buying a woman's womb to serve as a surrogate mother.
