To Marry A Wife - All in A Day's Work (Part 2)

Chapter 8 : The Tower

We took careful steps up the winding stairs. Booby traps could be anywhere. Not to mention land mines. Smiles on Thiaw Seng's face showed that the last thing he expected was more resistance. Boy was he so wrong. Out of thin air, the ever annoying Ji Muis puffed out from no where, again.

"MUAH HA HA HA", we heard those evil, yet familiar laughter again.

"Wei, no money no talk ah", the Ji Muis called out, forming a human shield in front of the bride's door, skillfully sticking out a hand for the loot.



"Already gave a lot ahhhhhhh!!!!", Thiaw Seng cried in such sorrow, the sun would have cried along.

"Not enough ah! not enough ah! not sincere one!!", the Ji Muis did not budge, as if the groom had gold bars tucked in his suit.

Imagine a scene at the pasar. Auntie and seller Ah Soh fighting over the price,

"Rm5 so expensive ah??"

"Very cheap liao lorrr....."

"Rm 4 la..."

"No no cannot!!"

"Can la can la!!"

The groom eventually gave in. He pulled out a BIG packet from a secret pocket. Goldren glare filled the room, so bright we had to close our eyes lest losing our sights.

The Ji Muis went bling bling, nodded non-stop with big smiles on their faces, "Ok la... open door lorrrr"



What more to say? The groom stormed in and kissed the bride. Primary objective accomplished.

Chapter 9 : Securing The Perimeter

The ceremony took place up in the tower. We retreated back down to the porch to secure the perimeter. Suddenly, like magic, food appeared out of nowhere. Boy weren't we happy.



Happy faces



Food!



More food!

Air Force One roared while we enjoyed the feast, looking out for bayangs of the enemy.



Just as we started to get comfy digging in, we saw the couple being walked out into Air Force One, royal style. Air Force One took off, hovering one big round in the Taman, leaving a permanent trail of carbon footprint.



The entourage enjoyed themselves, knowing more was to come, when they venture into the unknown, making the long journey to Bentong.
