Natasha right now, emotionally are in distressed rather than worrying about the future or about the conditioned of her husband at the moment, she is more conflicted about her close friend, Selene. Before the fight happened, she was glad to see Selene, comes running to her side, worried about her safety. But when the conflict arises, Selene chooses to stand to the side and become a bystander rather than stand on her side, joining together hand in hand to face the incoming trouble.
Natasha was even more hurt, when Selene, openly questioned Azra decisions and reasoning to stand his ground. Natasha was over the moon seeing the man that he loved, stood to defend her and proved his words and promise is not a lie, an Undesired woman, discarded by the entire world, who should be cast aside and disregards normally in this world, and her husband defy the world customs and normalcy for her. He had done what is considered a shameful act, in front of so many people openly, and he was proud to do that, and there is not a single person dared to mock him for what he had done.
Yet, after all that amazing and proud display, Selene, her good friend, comes and questioned what had happened so casually. What made, Natasha even more embarrassed before her husband, was that, she had chosen and selected Selene, to become her sister's wife, a new member of the family, a second wife to her husband. She framed Selene as a good person and one that must be in the family and yet, at a very crucial time, Selene had shaken that belief, and Natasha were even more hurt, that she had to and need to understand and nodded her head at the realistic action that Selene had to take.
"Selene… now you see for yourselves, what kind of a man and a husband Azra was, right? …this is our family… this is how we live in this crazy world… nothing matters to us, but each other's… I know how hard for you and Scarlett was having these whole time… living alone, surviving alone, always bowing to the others…. Ridiculed and set aside the whole time…". (Natasha)
"…. I …". (Selene)
Azra actions, as a man and a Husband to Natasha, do shocked Selene immensely. He had seen what he could do and at what length he would go, to defend Natasha, not just protected her physically from any harm, but also defended her honor. An action that certainly bewildering, defending a discarded woman, so openly like that. It is not without any questions that within that moment, not just Selene, but all woman that were watching, felt an enormous pull towards Azra manly actions, the fact that he stood up for her, already enough to make any woman fall for his charm.
"Natasha… can… that even happen to me? …after what had happened? ....". (Selene)
"Why can't it be?". (Natasha)
Bitter, nervous and worried, is what burdening Selene right now, and it affected her a lot. There is no denying that her current life, is miserable, torturous even. Seeing Natasha being so happy, with a husband that would do so much for her, made her glad for Natasha but at the same time also jealous at her as well. She knew that Natasha was frustrated at the moment, but Selene also couldn't gather the courage.
"Today…. Is my first time talking to him…. And…you know how it went…right?... I backed away from you two….and just watched on the side…". (Selene)
"…. I know… your first meeting with him, certainly a bad one… but for Azra and me, although it was a bit hurtful… we understand and accepted your call… And Azra, is definitely not a petty person… he approves your decisions and understands It clearly…". (Natasha)
Selene can only bitterly smile; Natasha is still clearly not giving up on making her marrying Azra. And for Selene, seeing Azra personally and up close today, certainly wavered her heart a lot.
"…If I were to be the second wife, you know that… I too wanted to be loved and cared by him, the same way as you did by him…right?". (Selene)
"I know…". (Natasha)
Selene was gauging, Natasha reactions with her seemingly obvious probing.
"I also wanted to be hold and served his needs, as well as he satisfies my needs as well… you know that right?". (Selene)
"I know that too…I get all of that…what is going to change when you become his second wife… and I am willing to share… who do you think is the one that insisting on making you, his second wife?". (Natasha)
"Wait…. You insisted on this?". (Selene)
"Yes… I did, Azra is…. well… unique… he is kind, resourceful, loving and just a very good husband and a man… but, he too got his weakness as well… the way he looked at this world…. is rather careless and sloppy…". (Natasha)
Natasha seemed worried as she spoke out about Azra weak sides, naturally that man positive side were plenty, but his weakness seems rather peculiar.
"Careless and Sloppy.... Hmm… that is definitely not a good one...". (Selene)
"Yeah… he knows when to be violent and careful… but, at the same time, he still wants to have some faith in the people kindness, way too much… the way he does things… sometimes it was beyond me…". (Natasha)
Selene can see that, the Azra Family Co. business is definitely odd, they just simply sold a lot of high-quality merchandise, cheaply. And then the Barter Trade, it was just a simple charity work, that a lot of people already started to get used to and already wanted to exploit it. That is not the way to conduct a business in this world, doing such business style, will certainly attract many dangers, a lot of people would covet what Azra Family Co. have and they will do it in the worse way imaginable.
"…I see… that is quite hard to see and support from the side... as he is constantly put himself in a rather dangerous spot…". (Selene)
"But… at the same time, that part of him… also make Azra who he is… a kind man and a very good husband… he had a vision for our family… and I know that what he was doing right now… Is a foundation to that far vision of his… and as his wife… I do not want to stop him or be in his way at all…". (Natasha)
"…. As a wife, it is our role to support him all the way… helping him achieved what he wants… as it was ultimately for our family as well…and… at this very moment… you alone are not enough to fulfill that role…. right?". (Selene)
"Yes…". (Natasha)
Both of them, stared at the sun that were about to sink on the horizon. Selene knew that Natasha come to her, not without any reason, she is offering to be her sister's wife, in order to help her and the family grow safely and become stronger. Selene experience is what the Azra Family needed, and Natasha made it very clear, that she need help to make sure that her family remained as it is, safe and sound. And in return for her compromise, Natasha were offering Selene a good husband, a lover that would love her and made her a happy woman forever, and also a strong bonded family. Selene is sick and tired of her current life, being disregarded all the time and being seen and labeled as nothing but leeches to community, despite she is strong enough to fight for herself. As a woman, she wanted to be loved and to love someone, be needed badly by someone, be a part of a loving family. Live and laugh together, it was the first time in her life, that she was offered this opportunity and despite what had happened today, here it was, the chance is still presented to her.
"…Natasha…what about Scarlett?". (Selene)
