The Wedding Mission

The Wedding Mission
18. Becoming a Foreigner Again.



The atmosphere in the small house still looks lonely, although time has shown at half-eight in the morning.


Instead of getting ready to go to the store, Maxim was found sitting at the end of the bed, shuffling his hair in frustration.


They really did it last night. However, not in that case, Maxim looks chaotic. Except for one fact that Gwen is a perrawwan.


He did not expect at all, that Gwen, an abusive girl who is known to like to spend her parents' money by frolicking at the club instead, was still able to maintain her dignity and dignity.


Faded was all Maxim's assessment of the girl all along. He is the real brenggseek. Moreover, when remembering that last night, Maxim tried to blame Gwen for regrets later on.


Now, what did he have to say to Gwen?


Maxim gasped, as his bed began to move. Gwen, who was sleeping under a thick blanket, slowly opened her eyes.


The first thing that Gwen felt when she wanted to get out of bed, was the excruciating pain.


The girl opened the blanket. His face immediately turned white, when he found his body pollos without a thread. He could even see traces of his girlishness on the bed sheet.


Gwen stared at Maxim's horror. He's trying to remember last night.


Yes, although his memory is faint, but Gwen knows very well, that she was the one who started it first. He's the one who fished Maxim.


"Gwen, I ...."


"Please, don't say anything!" exclaim Gwen. The look on his face looks very flat, although Maxim knows there is a lot of sadness and disappointment there.


Slowly, Gwen got up from the bed and limped towards the wardrobe. After picking up the origin of her suit, the girl leaves Maxim alone to the bathroom.


At that moment, Maxim could clearly hear Gwen's wailing.


"Sayal!"


...**********...


Since the incident, Gwen and Maxim's relationship has become increasingly distant. Both of them now really look like strangers who live in the house. However, if examined deeper, Maxim is the one who looks more injured. Gwen tried to act ordinary.


Maxim does continue to do his cooking duties at home. However, he never wanted to eat with Gwen. The man also changed his home clock to more nights. In fact, it was not uncommon for him to arrive home after Gwen fell asleep.


As of this morning, Gwen again found the guest table had been lined with some ripe food, along with a white envelope tucked in one of the dishes.


Frowning, Gwen picked up and opened the envelope.


The girl was surprised, when she found a sheet of money and a note that read 'shopping money, arrange as you like' there.


Instead of being happy, Gwen cried even sobbing. Because, for some time back, Maxim always gave him money every three days. Shopping for all kinds of stocks they do together.


Now, Gwen believes the man is completely avoiding her.


Gwen is hurt. He understood his mistake that had provoked Maxim first, but, wasn't he also harmed?


...**********...


"Back again tonight, Max?"


Maxim, who was daydreaming in front of the store, was suddenly surprised by Mr. Donald. The middle-aged man then sat down next to Maxim, giving him a cup of instant noodles that had already been brewed.


"Eat. I see, you haven't eaten since," said Mr. Donald.


Mr. Donald laughed a little. "Eat."


Maxim awkwardly received the cup's instant noodles, then sipped it slowly. "Thank you, this is delicious," the man praised.


"Of course .. corporate recipe." Mr. Donald laughed again.


While accompanying Maxim to eat, the man began to speak for himself. "I've been married to Emily for 32 years. At first, we were betrothed when Emily was just 16. Getting married to a little girl was initially very troublesome. I must not only play her husband, but her brother and her father."


Maxim quietly listened to MR. Donald.


"Sometimes fights are inevitable. Emily always started it, because she never loved me."


Hearing this, Maxim stopped his meal. "You married without love?" tanyanya.


"Him only. I have long liked that girl. Come to think of it, judging from our considerable age difference, it made me look like a brash adult man who was after a little girl. Haha." Laughter Mr. Donald sounded.


"Then, how can you finally conquer the heart of Mrs. Emily's? Apparently, he's easily ruined because you're a good guy,"


Mr. Donald laughed again. This time it sounded louder. "I was only able to conquer it after three years of marriage. During that time, we lived like two strangers in the house, even though from the outside it looked very romantic and inseparable. I never even dared to touch her."


"That long?" maxim asked with a surprised face.


Mr. Donald nodded. "However, the name of a grown man will definitely not be able to hold back for long."


Maxim no longer cares about the condition of his stomach that is still hungry. He immediately left the instant noodles at the table, and focused on listening to Mr.'s story. Donald.


"Then, how's the end?" ask Maxim.


Got Maxim's overreaction, made Mr. Donald shifted his eyes. "I don't think you're very interested in my story, Max."


Max jerks. As if he was caught red-handed, he tried to stand up. "Ahh, sorry, I'm just curious about your life story, because k—"


"It looks the same as your married life, doesn't it?"


Maxim was surprised. He cannot refute Mr. Donald is on target.


"Why can you say that?" ask Maxim.


"Because, only people who have experienced it, can see it, Max. From the beginning I could even guess that your marriage was not based on love." Reply Mr. Donald.


Maxim's speechless. He couldn't get a word out.


"Calm down, you need to tell me anything, because it's my business, Max." Mr. Donald then patted Maxim's shoulder. "My message is just one. That is, act like a man, and never avoid!"


After saying so, Mr. Donald stood up. "Alright, it's getting late, Max. So you better shut down your shop immediately."


Maxim nodded. "Again, thanks for the instant noodles, Mr. Donald," Maxim said.


"Yes, you're welcome." When Mr. Donald had already walked a few steps, suddenly he stopped the scarcity.


"I'm glad to see you now, Max. Your face has shown a lot of expression. Now, the look on your face is even more predictable."


Maxim just smiled thinly. In his heart, he kept the man's advice tight.
