"Turning Dumb for You"

Baldur and Albrecht dealt with the soldiers and guerrillas in their meeting in preparation for the attack and rescue operation.

Meanwhile, when George was alone in the kitchen, he tried to assess his feelings and came out positive and inspired. He thought of being confused but its actually overwhelmed and overloaded with excitements.

" Confusion has led me to ignore my overwhelming happiness, being there, with her - is already a way up of what I dreamt of a happy marriage. I should be contented and casual with my emotions. In fact, after I moved here last night, she impressively came out this morning to check me, provided for today's getup with a sweet note. I should value her attempts to make me cheerful as I could inspiringly appreciate differently - on our own way. Nevertheless, it seems I'm always electrified. So - this is love. Its my first time to please a woman like the way I treat her, being careful of my actions and I always want to be on her way, not to hurt her and enigmatically charmed by her smiles. I'm already 26 but feels this weird way, haha!" George smiled while looking at the furnace.

" Baldur, did you see what I see, he smiled again - but alone." Albrecht whispered.

" Just don't interpret that badly, he maybe had recalled their wonderful moments. You comment critically when you and Madelleine are, ha!" Baldur proceeded to the lieutenant's side.

" Hi George, we're back." Baldur greeted.

" Hey Baldur, how is it going?"

" Everything is set. As a matter of fact, those who were assigned to the digging are now actually preparing the farm tools, there's around five of them."

" That's inspiring. I ought to spare a hand for your mission, but given that you wanted me to relax for now. I'll grab it. Thank you brother."George tapped his shoulder and picked out what Albrecht had prepared on the table.

" Albrecht, can you tell me the name of this viand?" George asked.

" Ginataan" It has squash fruit with squash leaves with string beans, mixed with lemon grass and ginger. We usually cooked this before when I was a kid." Albrecht smiled.

" Wow! its truly delicious! Can I bring some to Magee, she dearly loved veggies." He looked to Albrecht.

" Oh dear, sure! take it. But wait, I'll reboil it again and we'll add up fresh sayote leaves. The more she would love it." Albrecht placed the viand inside the pot while George quickly harvested some sayote leaves. Then at the moment when Albrecht was busy waiting for it to be fully boiled, he hurriedly proceeded to get a daisy flower, watered the angel fruits and returned to the kitchen.

" George, its all set. You may take this now and please, send our regards to her."

" Many thanks, Albrecht." Then he smirked and left.

He reached the granite house in the afternoon and transfered the viand into the granite bowl. After which, he proceeded to the secret rooms and found her sleeping.

" My hearbeats..." He thought.

But he was sort of diverting his thoughts so he gently spoke.

" Mag, wake up...there's a vegetable viand mixed with sayote leaves, you'll love this."

"Mag? Magee?" He almost shouted while his face filled with worries.

Magee then hurriedly sat down and was shocked.

" George?" She asked.

" Oh my...thank God!" Then he shook his head.

" I was very tired, I religiously tidy the room number seven. I'm preparing it as I'm almost ready for mothering after seeing all of the baby's needs." She smiled when George immediately gazed at her and spoke.

" Did I hear it right?" George said.

" Yes. Three days from now. I still have to fix everything and - prepare myself." She sheepishly whispered while looking at the ceiling.

And he fulfillingly smiled as he blushed and asked.

" Why ... you need to prepare yourself when all you have to do is to rely on me." He then gently pressed her hands.

She then courageously looked into his eyes.

" I have to finally submit myself to you and its something - precious, that I must soulfully attend to." She bowed down her head as he lavishly smiled, watching her on side view. In a second, he had absorbed thoroughly her words, so constantly.

" What a conversation is this between wife and a husband, haha! She's so cute and I even would like to stretch a little of her cheeks." He thought.

" What is that look for? Are you mad that it would be in three days? I still have to put a scented candle from our supplies - when you join me here. Morning of the same day, you have to personally pick the best flowers you want to place in our vase inside this room. No one shall visit us. Is that clear?" She smiled at him while his psychological absorption to the topic seemed so delayed.

" Ha? Yes, sure, copy, whatelse?" He blankly answered and seemed heard the trumpets from heaven and was caressingly overwhelmed by his sweats.

He remained seated and sensed as she stood up and ready to walk off.

" I have to continue cleaning and its good I have completely rested." She said.

" No, I will, I'll do the cleaning." George smilingly insisted.

Since he volunteered so he did it and he just continued her relaxation while he finally picked out the point of the matter.

" Great heavens! I'm turning dumb for you. I can't believe this! Was there any entry in the journal that says Amanda wasn't really my wife and she was convinced? The court jury and her meticulous investigation has just ended, haha! Or was it because of the medical vial or baby milk too and the nestling preparation are all set. That's why she's considering it as a celebration and just like a birthday gift, there's a couple of props around - a gift. It seems he's preparing for a sacred birthday!" He smiled, teary eyed and couldn't almost contain his overflowing joy.

It was enough to feel that gigantic prowess of a man that he is. Such joy of being valued as a husband was indeed a great honor and he felt so dignified.

With that heartfelt inspiration, he never knew he had a sound household cleanup and he just had a break during dinner time where they both shared the food.

" Were you forced or pressured to decide or what."

" No. I decided it for both of us and is long overdue. Hope you understand me and won't consider it as a grudge."

" Of course, I won't. I love you that much and besides, there's nothing wrong with the process, its maybe too unique but I learned a lot.
