For 5 days Natasha, Azra and Alfred had been toiling their sweats and energy into making sure the business will make it. And instead of just making it, the Azra Family Co. business were booming, even Natasha herself cannot believed what had happened, everything that they were selling after the very first day, would sell out before the day end. Time and time again, she was shocked at how Azra were able to make his words into a reality. It was easy to say right now, for Natasha that Azra kept his words about everything that he had promised her before.
"Hello, Madam, is the bread still available?". (Bald Scavenger)
"I'm sorry, sir…we ran out just a few minutes ago…". (Natasha)
"Oh… never mind then, I guess I just come tomorrow…hahahaha…". (Bald Scavenger)
Awkwardly the bald scavenger laughs and walked away. This kind of treatment to a woman, of her age, is not normal at all, usually when a man comes and asked for something and denied, the man would always become agitated or violent. But instead, here at Azra Family Co. no one dared to slight her, and it all thanks to Azra actions, he actually knocked a scavenger down, because the scavenger shouted at her and then tried to hit her. At that time, not only Natasha felt like her heart were about to jumps out of her body, but the crowd of customers were also stunned.
The angry customers were banned from buying anything from the stall for an entire week, although the man was about to react to violence his actions were instantly met, with the crowds aiming their guns at him, and at the end the man can do anything other than accept his punishment and walked away. Ever since then, it has become an unspoken rule for the customers to be nice to her, a gesture from Azra that made, Natasha even more in love with him. He stood up for her, not caring what the world would think about him, naturally after the ordeal were over, she asked her if it's okay for him to be seen as weak or soft. To that he simply replied, 'It doesn't matter what the people think, no one can ever treat my wife like that' which made him look more special in Natasha eyes.
"Hmm? .... Alfred, do you mind continuing loading our stuff? …. I got somewhere to be for a moment…". (Natasha)
"[Do go ahead, madam …Don't worry I will make sure everything here will be just fine]". (Alfred)
"Thanks…". (Natasha)
Whilst Natasha and Alfred were packing the stall and all the tools back into the truck bed, Natasha notice someone that she knows slowly walking to the town gate, with excitement bubbling over, Natasha ran towards the person quickly.
"Selene!! …Wait up!!". (Natasha)
"Huh? …. Natasha? …is that you? …oh, dear me, it is you! …". (Selene)
Natasha comes running towards a woman, that she called Selene and gave her a big hug. Showing just how close the 2 are, Selene slightly stunned but realizing that it was Natasha she returned the hug with a smile of her face. Content to see her old friend still alive and well.
"Yes! …it is me, Selene …it has been so long since we met…how are you, Selene?". (Natasha)
"I'm fine, thank you for asking …. how about you, Natasha …. you seem fine? … I have heard of the news about you from Rat Town … I am glad to see you still alive …and surprisingly looking very happy…". (Selene)
Selene is actually one of Natash close friends, and they have been friends from before she was married, both of them became so close, because both of them shared a debt with each other. Selene at one time generously offered Natasha a job as a Scavengers Group porter, that bring Natasha out of financial problems, and Selene were treated and nursed by Natasha, when she was mortally injured during a difficult mission. Since then, the 2 has become very close and always keeps tabs with each other's.
Another part that made the 2 were close to each other's, is because both of them were discarded woman, Selene was labeled as such, is because she was a cripple, she lost her right arm due to a bandit attacks, in those attacks at that time she lost her family, she was just 20 years old at that time and were left with nothing. Thanks to her disability she was discarded, and as her age grows, her dreams of becoming like any other woman slowly dissipates and she had to do something about her situation, to survive. Hence, she goes into debt to purchase a cybernetic arm, with those decisions, she had to work. Born to a scavenger family, she knew how to fight and repairs a lot of things. Since her life altering decision, she joined a scavenger Group called Left Overs or L.O Group, a group of all woman Scavengers.
Selene wasn't unattractive at all, in fact she is a very beautiful woman, she was 180cm tall, black curly shoulder length, long legs, toned abs stomach, and on top of that, she was gifted by an absurdly hourglass shaped body, her J-Cup breast proudly and massively perk defying gravity, and her bottom complete the look as it was spilling from the front. If Azra were here to see her, he would not only be shock due to her sensual body, but also her looks, Selene had a sharp round eye with a silvery blue color, sharp nose, and a plump almost bimbo looking lips, she had an eerily similar looks of a certain female lead of a vampire movie, who wears tights leather outfits, back on earth. Her looks were breathtaking, yet in this world no one would bat an eye at her, all because of her disabilities and due to her being 38 years old.
"Selene …I am happy…very happy…I am with my perfect husband". (Natasha)
"Natasha …. are you…still with him?". (Selene)
Selene knew that Natasha didn't like anyone, speaking ill of her husband, it was the only topic that would made her frown and sulk. Everyone knows that Azra is not a good husband, and all her hard work and suffering were due to him as well. That is why, Selene approaches the question carefully as to not upset her friend.
"I am still together with Azra …like I said before…only death will separate me from him….and you know what…I'm glad I did not betray that word of mine…. Selene…Azra has changed…he has become a good man and a good husband to me…". (Natasha)
Selene is a matured woman, she knows better to just jumps into any opinion, and she also noticed the gleam of happiness in Natasha eyes and voice.
"He's changed? …tell me about him, Natasha". (Selene)
"He loved me truly, Selene… you know, a day before we were kicked out, he is actually badly sick?". (Natasha)
A true friend did not judge their friend without any solid reasons, and Natasha were glad that Serene was as the same as she was before, a kind, mature and a gentle woman. Natasha retold, everything that had happened to her, naturally she also keeps some part of her husband and the family secrets, stays a secret. Still, Selene calmy listened to Natasha tales, how Azra has been kind to her, he provided her a nice and beautiful home, prepared everything for the family. Her days as a wife, to Natasha were fulfilling. Selene knew that Natasha were earnest, she does not just create story or just telling what she hopes her husband will be. Azra had really changed for the better, becoming a loving and perfect husband that even Selene was dreaming about.
"You know a few days back…he even struck a man, to defend me…a customers are hurling insults at me and tried to hit me…Azra stood up and knock him out…he does it for me! …her wife, out in the public...it surely causes a mess that day…". (Natasha)
"Azra struck another man, for you? ...ah...wait…. are you…. the Madam of Azra Family Co.?". (Selene)
"Yes, That's me …". (Natasha)
