My Mysterious Husband

The woman was shocked by Venus’ beauty. She had never seen anyone who is even more beautiful than her.

“You are absolutely stunning!” The woman exclaimed. “I should have asked for more money.”

Venus couldn’t see. She could only sit there quietly and let them put powder on her face. She wouldn’t like her makeup if she could see.

The man walked into the room and said: “Is the bride ready? The car is......”

He stopped talking when he saw how beautiful Venus is. He only stared at her pretty face unblinkingly.

The woman slapped on the back of his head and said: “When will the lesson be learned? Where is the groom’s car?”

The man recovered himself and said, while staring at Venus: “The car will soon be here.”

“Sure. Sure.”

Gawa jumped off the car. He was also dressed in traditional wedding dress and he couldn’t wait to see his wife. But the woman stopped him and said: “Where is the money?”

Gawa knew nothing about the money. He ignored her and rushed into the room.

The woman then asked Gawa’s cousin: “Where is the money?”

The woman took the money and smiled. “That’s not necessary. I trust you.” She said. “Now you can take her away.”

Gawa’s mother walked into the room and found Gawa was so nice to Venus. She felt relieved. But then, she heard Gawa saying: “Hey, do you want to go to bed? Let’s go to bed! I will hold you

Gawa’s mother grabbed his arm and said: “What do you mean you are going to bed. It’s noon! Go out and meet our relatives!”
