Emily, The Mute Girl
Rabbit Meat

Emily moved her hand to ask something. However, the farmer scratched his non-itchy head and looked at Jeremy.

"I'm sorry. I don't understand what your wife is saying." she said.

Jeremy looks at Emily's desperate face and chooses to translate for her.

"My wife asks, where is the bathroom? Ian wants to change clothes" Jeremy said.

"Are you not husband and wife? Why would you want to find somewhere else to change clothes?" ask the farmer.

"Ah, are you newlyweds? So still shy to see each other?" ask again. Then the farmer realized something.

"Hahahaha, my goodness, forgive me for being this disrespectful. I'm leaving now." he continued, then immediately walked out and closed the door.

Emily scrunched her forehead. Wait up! Did the farmer misunderstand? It was not the farmer's existence that made him feel ashamed. But Emily can't change clothes in front of Jeremy even though they are married.

Emily looked at Jeremy who was also looking at her.

"What?" ask Jeremy relax.

Emily looked at him in disbelief.

'You still ask? Until when are you gonna keep looking at me?' ask Emily.

Jeremy smiled at me.

"The old farmer said the truth. What's wrong with changing clothes in front of your own husband?" tanyakanya.

Is this guy crazy? thought Emily.

'I'll use both my fingers to pierce your eyes if you dare to see me change my clothes' Emily's gesture was upset, instantly making Jeremy stiff.

Finished saying, Emily immediately went out and looked for a bathroom to change her clothes. Then he went to find the farmer who was cooking something to entertain them.

"Ah, are you here?" the farmer asked when he realized Emily was next to him and noticed her appearance.

"Bahh.. I didn't expect that the shirt would suit you." he said happily.

Emily clenched her hands together to convey that she was grateful and fortunately this time the farmer understood.

"Don't hesitate. We have not had guests for a long time. I feel good to see you guys. Rest, I'll cook something for you" he said.

Emily then waved her hand again while pointing at herself.

"What's? What do you mean you want you to cook?" ask the farmer to make sure.

Emily nodded quickly.

"Oh, no, no." the old man shook his head in a gloating manner.

"You are our guests. How could I let you cook?"

Emily shook her head and tried to tell her that she had no problem with it. There was nothing he could do in the room. He and Jeremy both feel uncomfortable in one room. So it was better that he help the farmer man prepare food.

After trying hard, Emily finally managed to make the farmer let her cook.

There is only rabbit meat and vegetables to stir-fry. Emily had little doubt whether Jeremy could eat a simple meal like this. But under these conditions, the man should not be picky about food.

Emily who heard the compliment just smiled and tried to convey that he wanted to meet his wife. Because ever since they came, the place was very quiet. The farmer's wife's voice was not heard.

"I'm sorry. My wife's condition hasn't gone up much lately. I'm afraid he's exhausted if he has to go out to meet you guys. So, I told him to just rest in the room. Maybe if tomorrow his health is a little better, you can see him" said the farmer slowly.

"Hey.. You left your husband too long. Come on, take this food to him." continued the farmer. Emily nodded then took half her cooking.

Meanwhile, Jeremy is bored in the room alone. She wondered why Emily took so long to change clothes. From inside the room, he heard the farmer laughing.

'Did he laugh with Emily?' thought. Just as Jeremy wanted to get out to check on her, Emily had already appeared from behind the door with a tray filled with food.

Jeremy notices Emily in plain clothes belonging to the farmer's wife. Usually Emily always wears branded clothes and let her hair down, thus making her look mature. This time she appeared in simple clothes with her hair tied up to resemble a ponytail, making Emily look very fresh like a teenager who just graduated from school.

"Did you help the old man cook?" jeremy asked as he looked at the food on the tray.

Emily nodded. Jeremy didn't think his guess was right.

"Are you cooking all this?" ask again.

Emily placed the food she was carrying on the table beside Jeremy then looked at him.

'Why? Aren't you going to eat because I cooked it? Just chill. I didn't put poison in it.' Emily gestured.

He then scoops his food for himself.

"I'm just asking, why are you so cynical of me?" ask Jeremy who then did the same as Emily.

The taste of the food was not bad, just that the rabbit meat tasted less seasoning for Jeremy. Emily looked at Jeremy who was enjoying his meal quietly.

He actually did not mean to be cynical, but from the beginning their relationship was not good.

"Why look at me?" jeremy asked when she realized Emily wasn't continuing to eat. Emily waved her hand.

'It's okay. I just didn't expect that you could eat food like this.'

"This food is not poisonous, so why can't I eat? Do you think I'm the one who chooses the most about food?" ask Jeremy. Emily kept quiet and continued eating.

******

After eating, Emily decides to help the farmer wash the dishes. Upon returning to the room, the two of them were just quiet with each other.

After all, the two of them were not really close. They are close only in public. So when the two are like this, they don't know what to talk about.

Emily then decided to go to bed first. In the room there was only one bed. And knowing that they were husband and wife, the farmer only prepared one large blanket.

Seeing Emily hesitant to go to sleep, Jeremy understands her condition.

"I'll sleep on the floor" Jeremy said.

Emily was a little surprised, she did not expect that Jeremy would give up. Apparently behind his cold nature, this man also has a gentleman side.

Emily sighed then shook her head.

'It's okay. We can share a bed. The weather here is very cold. You'll get sick if you sleep on the floor. I am too.' his signal.
