WIFE SERIES: THE BATTERED WIFE (ENGLISH VERSION)
Chapter 13: WITH A STRANGER IN A BED

"What's the matter?"

From staring outside, I looked up to see Lele. We are here at her friend's restaurant. I think we've been here for almost an hour, but I haven't even reduced the food on my plate.

"Nothing ..." I don't want if I will tell Lele the truth because it might reach Tranz's daddy. As much as possible, I want Tranz and I to fix any trouble between us.

It was our decision to get married, so it was only common that when there was a problem between the two of us, we were the only ones to fix it.

What if his decision to divorce you is fixed, Mina? Can you do anything else?

Even if I try to forget the conversation I heard between Lily and my husband, and I still can't help myself to felt betrayed.

I let out a long sigh. It's tiring to meet other people's expectations, especially when the one who wants to impress is a simple person like me. I'm not that beautiful, especially when compared to Lily, because even though Lily only worked at the club, she is still beautiful and sexy. So it was effortless for her to seduce a man, even with a wife just like Tranz.

"Don't you like the taste of food here?" Lele asked again. I could see the concern on her face as she looked at me.

"Ah. I'm still full, eh. I'm sorry, "I reasoned. All I want now is to go home and rest. Even though I haven't done anything yet, my body is exhausted.

"Crazy." She laughed. "Why are you sorry? Okay, what do you want to do? So, maybe let's go shopping?'

"It's even better."

We stood up together and left the restaurant. Everyone is distracted by us, especially Lele is with me. She's an eyecatcher because she's an artist.

We were about to enter the boutique where I could buy baby items when I spotted a familiar face.

"Lily?" I uttered. What the fuck are you doing here?

The woman was wearing a crop top so I could see her body exposed. She was wearing short shorts so that I could see her crotch. Her waist-length hair is now blonde, so she looks like a foreigner. Behind the woman followed the young men who were obviously tempted by the woman's charm.

This moment seemed coincidental because just in front of me was the glass wall of this boutique. I stared at my reflection, and I couldn't help but grin bitterly. Even though my stomach isn't big yet, I'm already wearing a maternity dress that reaches up to my legs. My hair is ponytailed, and some strands are loosened up, so my hair is a bit messy. And since I recently just regained sleep, the black under my eyes was still noticeable. I even look like 40 years old in how I look today. "Mina, are you okay?" Lele even tapped me on the shoulder, so I turned to her. I nodded.

I was about to enter the boutique when in the west wing of this mall, I saw Tranz walking!

What the fuck! What the fuck are you doing here, Tranz ?!

"Let's go." Lele pulled me into the boutique so I could do nothing but drift with her.

I want to confront Tranz, but when I think about it, I already felt weak. Not even to step my feet towards him, I could not do.

"Wait here, Mina. I have to take this call ... "Lily raised her hand holding a cell phone, so I nodded.

I closed my eyes tightly and held the wall of this boutique because I felt dizzy. My sight is spinning, and I am nauseous.

"Are you okay, Miss?" There was a hand held me in my arm. I know it's a guy even if I don't look at him because of his voice. I want to remove his hand, but this is not the right time for me to pretend to be Maria Clara because I am sure I will fall when he leaves me.

"H-help me, please ..." I begged while my eyes still close.

I felt his hand on my side, while one of his close supporting my hand.

"Take it easy, Miss..."

I didn't correct the way he called me because of how bad I felt. As he commanded, I walked slowly until he supported me to sit down.

I also kept my eyes closed for about a few minutes until I felt comfortable. I opened my eyes, and the face of the man who had helped me was exposed to my sight.

"Have some water, Miss..." He handed me bottled water. I looked at him because I was reluctant to accept the water he was offering. "Don't worry. That water is safe. It's still sealed so I'm sure I haven't reduced it yet. "I don't know if he's joking or what.

Where is Lele?

Reluctantly, I reached for the water and drank it. I drank almost half as well. And before I knew it, my surroundings were dark.

"Ouch..." I shook my head when I woke up. My head hurts, and it feels like it's breaking. "Where is Lele?" I no longer know what happened to me. "What time is it?" At this point, I roamed my eyes all over where I was and almost screamed when I saw the man hugging my waist!
