Secret Love Nest

Wedding pt2

Me: What is going on?

Xiao is naked aside from a towel wrapped on his hips. Meanwhile, Meng, the groom is sitting on the edge of the bed in his shirt and sleep shorts.

And looking nowhere near ready to get married.

I look at the clock. It's just 10am. The wedding will start at 5pm. He still had enough time to wash himself and dress up in his formal wedding suit.

But I think time is not the problem. The problem is Meng looking pale and muttering utter nonsense while looking scared out of his mind.

Meng: I can't do it. What am I thinking? (Laughing maniacally) Getting married? What the hell am I thinking?! Am I crazy?

Qing: (looking critically at my friend on the bed) He is having a nervous breakdown.

Me: (looking at him in shock) Not helping Qing!

Xiao: (distressed) But Qing ge is right. He has been like that since I went back out to get my toiletries, I was about to take a bath, Dayu! I heard of wedding jitters and cold feet but this is different.

Xiao points at Meng who hugged his knees and started rocking his body on top of the bed. Still with his eyes wide open.

Xiao: What should we do? He can't get married like that?!

Me: (snarling) Of course he can't get married like that! He looks like a crazy person! His fiancee will surely wonder what we did to Meng. Maybe she will also think that we broke her fiance!

Xiao and I groan as we watch Meng continued to have his meltdown.

Me: (helping Meng to sit properly again) Meng! Meng!

Meng: (looking at me with panicked eyes) Dayu! You are here! Let's run! You are the fastest among us. Grab Xiao, he is short. If he stumbled and fall down, let's leave him! We both at least have to survive! They are coming!

Me: (looking angrily at Xiao) Did you two watched zombie movies again?! I told you to stop watching zombie themed movies!

Xiao: (pointing at Meng again) He wanted to watch it! He said he needs it to relax!

Me: Does he looked relaxed to you?! Look at him. He is now having a meltdown and thinking of zombies!

Xiao: Should we slap him? Qing ge has a big hand. Make your boyfriend slap Meng!

Me: No! My boyfriend is not violent! And we don't promote violence here! But we can put that as a last resort. Good suggestion!

Xiao: Thanks!

Me: You're welcome!

Qing: (sighing) What does it say about me that I totally understand this bizarre conversation?

I ignored his sarcastic remark. We have Meng to prioritize.

Me: (capturing Meng's face between my palm) Meng! Listen to me! What is going on, buddy?

Meng: I can't do it Dayu! I can't!

Me: What can't you do?!

Meng: Get married!

Xiao: What?! But it's your wedding day already! You should have said something last night so we can still cancel this thing!

Meng: (nodding) Yes! Let's cancel it!

Me: No! (I glare at Xiao again. Did he really have to say the "c" word?!) No! No one is canceling anything. Meng! Listen to me. You already found a girl stupid enough to say "yes" when you proposed to her. Where can you find another one we can con to marry you?! This girl is gold, Man! Gold!
