The love of my Wife

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

My girl is an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian. She is very religious and very old fashioned. She is a hard copy of her mother with her love for long dresses and old fashion. Her mom looked like she was in her late 50s and looked like a very sophisticated lady. She was stern when she needed to be and very warm with her smiles. Her sister on the other side looked very fashionable with her long john jeans, tops and high heels. Her sister didn't look a day close to 40. One of her worries she claimed was her sister, nagging her about her sense of style. which I honestly didn't mind.

Today we had planned to go out, meet her friends and go site seeing with them. I was very excited to see the country she had grown up in. I knew it was still a developing country and had prepared myself up for the worst and best-case scenarios. She had went to church 4:30 in the morning with her mom and came around 9 A.M. church is open every day here with the whole mass prayers. The mass is a 2 to 4 hours depending on the length of prayers you are attending
and also if that day is a holiday.
I didn't even see her leave but her brothers were there to keep me company. After she came home she gave me a smile and quickly went to change for our outing.

The best thing about Ethiopia is that we didn't have to have inside dates. I could go out with her and not have to worry about the paparazzi so I was very happy.

One of her friends came to pick us up and we quickly left. When we met up with her other friends they spoke constant English so I could join in the conversation.

" You look like an ugly duckling, shortie " one of the guys claimed.

" Stop it before I kick your ass, Ezana " said his girlfriend. she had 1 girlfriend while the other 6 were guys and her girlfriend was dating one of her other friends.

" Yea Ezana you don't have to point out the obvious. " joked another.

" You little ass imma kill you " She shouted and chased after him. I laughed they seemed like little kids when they were out. Not the obedient well-mannered people I saw yesterday.

" Where is my baby tho?" she suddenly asked. I was alarmed baby what baby.

" One of our friend is like 2 years younger than us so we call him a baby. Hope you understand" her friend chirped.

" He's probably late again. I'll call him" one of them said.

" Ezra you literally live like 2 minutes away couldn't you come with him!"

" Hey! If I had you wouldn't see me here I would probably still be waking him up."

" Kaesaeki" she suddenly exclaimed. And we all laughed.

I was surprised they knew some Korean words and they even used them to tease one another.

Suddenly I heard a noise " Chagi!Chagiya." He was waving his hands like crazy.

" My baby!" My girl exclaimed " daniyeee, how are you? Why didn't you come out yesterday? I had presents."

He whispered in her ears and giggled like crazy. I automatically followed after her then wrapped her close against me. I guess my protective mode was on.

"You must be Soohun, nice to meet you."

"Soohyun actually, nice to meet you as well"

" Can't we just call you soo. Your name is hard" he grimaced. Then said something in Amharic that earned him a punch from my girl.

" Ow! Your fist are always first to attack" He whined.

"Sure " I said. Which he took his tongue out to tease her.

Her friends had already known she was dating me and we had skyped with them a few times so I was familiar with them. She had also told me these guys were the ones to visit her family. Which had me worried because they really looked the goofy types. I can see why she adores them.

My girl got scholarship to a prestigious school in Korea for her MSc. She had graduated this summer and also landed a job back home in Korea. This had separated her with her friends and family, but they didn't look a day apart. They were all so familiar with each other they didn't talk much with her. Instead I was the subject of their conversation.

" Don't know what you like about her dude, she literally a dude in a dress " one of them teased me. " Have you checked? " he continued. For which he got hit in the head from one of the guys.

" Nope haven't gone that far yet, but I'm certain I don't have to check " I answered jokingly.

" Of course, She is all about after marriage. "

" Shut up you fool, and zip your pants not everyone wants to know what you did last night " she said. Which he sheepishly smiled and zipped up. Earing a laugh from everyone around. We started moving to our next location after a few coffees, teas and teases. For which she had tea with lots of sugar.

I had had my hands around her for which she made me let go and whispered " PDA". I was confused I could see couples here also had their hands around each other. Her girlfriend, Senait was dating one of the guys and they had their arms around each other. So I was confused by what she meant but still shrugged and let go because my girl is one of a kind or at least that's what I told myself.

Later that day we visited the cinema, it was a premier of a new movie. She put her hands against mine and rested her head against my shoulders. That's the most closure I had since we came here so I basked in her scent while I still could.
