My Mysterious Husband

Kevin looked after her as she left. She looked so thin and fragile and he felt very worried about her. But there was nothing he
could do except praying for her and Kerry.
It was another day. Venus and Henry went to a fishing village. It was pretty far so when they arrived, it was already noon. The
village is very small, and when they got near to the village, they could hear loud music and firecrackers. There was obviously a
celebration activity going on.
They went to a small restaurant for lunch. A little girl said to the owner of the restaurant: “Sister Xiaomei’s wedding ceremony
has begun! I want to see it!” And the owner responded: “Sure. But come back when it is over. It’s lunch time.”
Obviously, the music and firecrackers they heard were from the wedding.
The owner of the restaurant is a middle-aged man. He served the meals to Venus and Henry. Venus picked up a pair of
chopsticks and asked: “Sir, can I ask you something?”
The man answered: “Sure. What is it?”
“We are looking for a young man. He went missing some time earlier. He is tall and handsome, and he has blue eyes, which is
his most striking feature.”
The man rubbed his jaw and thought very hard. He then said: “No. I didn’t see such a man.”
“Did anyone in your village save a man when he went to sea?” Venus said. She had asked this question for many times. She
never got a satisfying answer but she never gave up her hope.
The man frowned. “No. Never heard of it.”
Venus felt saddened. Her eyes dimmed.
The man suddenly said: “Did you just say something about his eyes? What’s the color of his eyes?”
“Blue.” Venus answered. Hope flared up inside her.
“Xiaomei is getting married today. She is a girl in our village. And I heard her husband has blue eyes.”
Venus was so shocked when she heard what he said.

Henry was so excited. He stood up and said: “Sir, are you sure about this? Does that man have blue eyes?”
The man was slightly frightened. He moved a step backward and said: “I’m sure. I saw that man yesterday. He is good-looking
and he has blue eyes.......Wait a second! Where are you going! You haven’t paid yet!”
Venus and Henry had already left the restaurant.
They didn’t need to ask anyone where the wedding was, because the music was very loud and they could hear it from a far
distance.
Venus was running so fast, as if Kerry would disappear if she was late. Her heartbeat quickened. She followed the music and
arrived at a place where there were lots of people. Everyone was looking ahead, where the wedding ceremony was happening.
“Let’s welcome the bride and the bridegroom to get onto the stage......” An emcee said though the microphone.
Venus didn’t stop. She squeezed her way through the crowd. She didn’t know how many feet did she accidentally trod on. She
only knew that many people were getting very angry with her. Finally, she came to the front of the crowd, and she could see the
couple on the stage. Henry soon also managed to squeeze his way through the crowd and came to Venus.
The bride was dressed in a traditional wedding dress and the bridegroom was dressed in a suit. The bridegroom had his back to
Venus, but Venus is too familiar with Kerry and she recognized him immediately. The bridegroom is none other than Kerry. Venus
had dreamed about finding Kerry for so many times, and at that moment, he was right in front of her.
“He is not dead! He is not dead! He is right there!” Venus thought to herself. Now she felt it was rather silly of her to worry about
Kerry. After all, Kerry is not an average man. How can he possibly die. Happy tears rolled down her cheeks. She had never felt
this happy before. Everyone there was looking at the new couple, so no one noticed a woman was crying so hard.
Henry also froze when he saw the bridegroom.
“Now, I want the new couple to face each other......”
The bridegroom and the bride turned to each other. And Venus burst into laughter when she saw Kerry’ s profile.
“Damn you! I thought you were dead! Turns out, you find yourself another woman!” Venus thought to herself. And she dried her
tears with her sleeves.
When the couple were about to make vows, Venus shouted: “Hold on a second!”

Her voice was so piercing and now she was the focus of the crowd. Everyone looked at her, and the bridegroom was also staring
at her. She looked into his eyes, and she found the way he was looking at her was so strange, as if he was looking at a total
stranger.
She walked up to the stage and shouted at him: “What the hell are you doing!” Her eyes brimmed with tears.
The bridegroom froze for a second. He then said: “I’m getting married. Obviously.”
Venus’s anger flared up in an instant. “What the hell! You are married! You have a son! Are you out of your freaking mind?”
The crowd lapsed into silence. Only the cheery music wafted through the air.
The bride pushed Venus aside and shouted at her: “Who the hell are you? Are you crazy!!”
That was the first time Venus looked at the bride. She looked beautiful, but she was wearing too much makeup.
“I am his wife!” Venus said confidently. She stood in front of the bridegroom as if she was trying to protect him.
What she said provoked an uproar.
“You are crazy! Ayong, come here!” The bride said to the bridegroom.
“Ayong? Is that his new name? What a silly name!” Venus thought to herself.
What surprised Venus the most was that Kerry really listened to the bride and walked towards her. He even looked at Venus
suspiciously.
The emcee asked Venus: “Miss, I think you are mistaken. This is not your husband.”
“I am not mistaken. I know what my husband looks like!” Venus said. She then looked at Kerry and said: “Kerry! What’s the
matter with you? You don’t even remember your name?”
The bride then said angrily: “He is not Kerry! His name is Ayong!”
“Shut up!” Venus said. And at that very moment, someone turned the music off. Maybe they wanted to hear this quarrel more
clearly.
The bride also lapsed into silence.

Venus then looked into Kerry’s eyes and said: “So your name is Ayong! Right? Let me ask you this: how old are you? Where do
you live? Do you have a family? Where is your ID card?”
The bridegroom’s mind went blank. He couldn’t answer any of these questions.
The bride said: “Why should he tell you his personal information!”
“He doesn’t want to tell me? Or he doesn’t know the answers at all!” Venus said. She had a sense of foreboding that Kerry was
not in his right mind. Because the way Kerry looked at her was so strange.
She remembered that she once pretended to lose her memories. And now, Kerry really lost his memories. She was sure the
bridegroom is Kerry because even though he was acting like a silly man, his quality remained the same.
The bride was angry. She said: “Who the hell are you! Why are you trying to ruin my marriage!”
“I don’t want to ruin your marriage. If you can answer my questions, I will leave this place right now. Another thing that is puzzling
me is why are you holding this wedding ceremony at this place? Aren’t you supposed to hold it at bridegroom’s home?” Venus
said.
The bride blushed. She said: “I got to know him from work! He is an orphan and he lives in S city. And I don’t think the location of
the wedding ceremony really matters.”
“He lives in S city? What a coincidence. I have many friends there. But can you give me a more specific location?” Venus said.
