Evil Hubby 02

An innocent woman who covers an evil heart with love

Second evil

Mom, Dad, I'm coming back

Okay, son, be careful and come back, may God bless you

Okay, Mom, be ready by three o'clock, okay?

Are you coming for half a day?

Yes, Dad. Then we can go to my grandparents' house by night.

Then I went. I'll be late for the office.

I'm going to go without a hitch, okay?

When did this boy go so fast, Dad?...

Sher came out of the house, bowing to Mom and Dad.

Even if someone was at home, he always rode his lovely bike... No matter what anyone did, it was something that no one could stop...

Hey baby, am I late?

The bike that sped off stopped near Tehana who was standing on the side of the road...

Oh no, Sher, I'm late.

Cool Tehana... Why don't you get on quickly or you'll be late for the office.

Sher got on the bike, but he was still angry that he was late. When he saw her angry face in the side mirror, he drove the bike at a fast pace for a while and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Tehana, who was far away from Sher's work, immediately hugged the boy.

Hey, what are you doing, you idiot?

My sweetie is angry, that's why you hugged her and made her your friend...

I'm still angry, I'm going to go.

What should I do to make her my friend?

Mmmmm, then take me shopping in the evening.

Oh, baby, I can't do it today, darling, today my mother and I are going to the village.

When are you coming?

Sunday.

Come on, baby, do you have to wait until next week to go shopping?

Don't worry, baby, I'll pay you, you go shopping with a friend tomorrow... Let's go another day.

Okay, Sher, baby.

The face that had been sullen until now brightened up because of Sher's promise.

Tehana... Tehana is a girl who tries to pretend to have grown up in an urban environment. But she was born and raised in a remote, helpless village.

When she grows up, she leaves the village where she grew up and the parents who raised her and comes to Colombo. She uses what she has learned and finds a job, but she is not satisfied and falls under the spell of rich men. Even Sher is one of her victims. Her sharpest weapon is her beautiful face that captivates the eyes of those who see her. How will the fate of the money-hungry Tehana be resolved...

.................................................................

I went to the office and finished the day's work as quickly as possible, and I came home to see my aunt and grandfather.

Mom, I have come, are you ready? I will also come quickly and wash myself.

Before lunch, I washed myself and put on a dress and got into the car.

Get in the car, get in the car, get in the car...

Why is my son screaming like a little kid...

Oh, Dad..

Okay, okay, you'll scream until you're done... How many more days will he keep screaming like that, madam?

That's our husband.

What's that story?

It's not important, let's go...

No one even starts the car and drives a little distance...

But Mom always makes a joke like that.

Do you know what it's like?

What's that?

Today, one of them hasn't even eaten lunch?

Oh, Mom, shut up...

Who is it, madam? Isn't that our son?

Is he crazy, sir? Is our son doing that?

Mom and dad tell me all sorts of things to make me angry. Anyway, what they say is true. They've always cooked a lot of my favorite dishes when I've been here. Specially cashew nuts.

Finally, after about five hours of walking, we arrived there. Even when we arrived, my uncle and grandfather were waiting outside for us. Our mother is their only child. So, for them, our arrival was like a royal wedding.

My white son is now very big... Why does he rarely come to see my uncle anymore?

Oh, you're not lying, we came last year too

He gave me two punches, isn't it a while ago?

Mom, okay, so... What does this old lady have to eat? She's so hungry

Here, mom, my son didn't even eat lunch today.

Is it true, white son?

Hehehe, yes, so

Then let's go eat and wash our faces... I made a paste of kohlrabi leaves and made a thick paste of black rice.

Oh, did grandma really make that?

No, no, I know my boy won't eat that.

So tell me what you made.

She made a potato bun, fried a tank fish, made a gotukola sambol, and fried papadum. Oh, so you made your favorite cashew fish.

Oh, my white grandma loves it... I'm going to eat, all four of you come.

I'll come with a new evil...
