The Devil's Touch
#200
Maxime walks with Jack to go to the man's house. Very simple wooden house.
Maxime sat down at the bottom because there were no chairs in the room. Jack was preparing a squeeze orange and gave it to Maxime.
"No ice?" maxime asked as he held the glass.
"Did you realize there was no fridge here" said Jack and sat down next to Maxime.
Maxime just sighed and drank the drink. Then he wailed when he realized from earlier he did not see Milan.
"You looking for Milan?"
"Hm."
"She must be in the rice field with Aron."
"Is Milan pregnant?" ask Jack.
"Yes ..."
"Good."
"Do you know I'm married to Milan?"
"Of course, Peter told me that day, that day he came here and told me everything. Including Arsen and Miwa's relationship, Tessa and Daniel."
"Why did he come here?" ask Maxime.
"He ran away from you for failing to look after Milan until your wife and sister were kidnapped" Jack said, chuckling softly.
"Currently, it's only fitting that he disappeared after Milan was kidnapped!"
Then they heard the voices of Milan and Aron who were chatting in the front seat. Maxime and Jack immediately came out and Maxime widened his eyes when he saw Milan's feet full of mud and his face also looks dirty.
"Dear you ..."
Milan scowling. "Hehe, I fell in the rice field earlier."
"Jeez Aron, when are you like this!! I love playing mud in the fields."
Jack held Aron.
"Sorry Brother, Milan wanted to see the buffalo."
Maxime turned to Milan and the girl nodded her head.
"Oh, let's clean it up first."
"Milan can take a shower after Aron" said Jack and then took Aron to the bathroom behind his house.
"Let's just go home, you take a bath at the mansion later."
Maxime took Milan's hand but Milan immediately threw him.
"I want to take a shower here, my body smells like I'm not comfortable in the car later."
"Honey, here the water is a little."
"Aron said if you want to take a shower, you have to draw water first. If it's a little water, we can go to the river."
"Are you going to take a bath in the river?"
"Want you, when I was a kid, I used to bathe in the river."
Maxime sighed. "Oh, we go home."
"I don't want to .. want to be here." Milan whining. "I'd like to stay here, too.this night alone .. may I?"
"Huh?" staying over?"
"No, no! you're gonna get cold."
"I want to ..."
"No dear!"
"Your son will." Milan stroked his stomach.
Maxime's gaze immediately softened to see Milan stroking his stomach like that.
"Darling ..."
"It looks like he's tired of living in the city" Milan cut.
Maxime could only sigh while stroking Milan's head. How else, his wife still asked to stay in this village.

Later that night, Milan's body was covered in a thick blanket. Milan hugged her own body in a blanket, Sherly was making ginger tea for Milan and Maxime.
"I told you, it's so cold in here." Maxime confirmed the blanket on Milan's body.
"It's not cold, it's cold."
"If it's cold why are you shivering like this hm."
"Here, drink first." Sherly lays two glasses of ginger tea for Milan and Maxime.
"Where's Aron?" ask Milan.
"In the room, he was doing his schoolwork" Sherly said.
"Is there a school?"
Sherly shakes. "Nothing, Milan. But there's a place for kids to learn, my own sister's teacher."
"Oh yeah? if he's done elementary school, where will he go?"
Sherly turned to look at Maxime.
"The other children can go to the city to get their education with your husband's permission" Jack said, sitting down with them.
"Don't look at me like that baby, I'm not as bad as you think, I don't punish the little ones. It's those who don't want to get out of here ..."
"Yes, Milan. A lot of kids would rather live here than be moved to the city" Sherly said.
"Her way, here the air is very cool, there is no pollution at all. They also prefer to play in the fields rather than play hp."
That night Maxime and Milan just slept in the living room with a small mat as a base. There are two restrooms in the house, one Jack and Sherly's room and one Aron's room.
Jack has told Maxime to sleep in his room, he and Sherly can sleep one room with Aron. But Milan refused, he chose to sleep as usual.
Maxime approached Milan, hugging his wife's body in a thick blanket. Every now and then Maxime chuckles, his wife looks like a roll. Then he kissed Milan.
"Look at you, I'm so hungry baby .. but I'm afraid Aron suddenly came out of the room ..."
"Don't fuck around!! I'm pregnant!!" milan without opening his eyes.
"You haven't slept?"
"I'm sleeping don't bother me!!"
"Damn it!!!" Maxime chuckles. "Basic sucks!" He pinched Milan's cheek and hugged his wife tightly.
