At 9:30 a. m., the groom rang the doorbell.
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo look at each other and give a dirty smile.
“It must be the groom coming, let’s block the door.”
Estrella Berrocal, fearing they were making too much noise, warned, “Let them in if you are serious.”
Ciri Garzón laughed sideways: “Estrella, you haven’t even left the house yet and you’re already elbowing your way in. If you let the boyfriend come in too easily and marry you, he won’t know how to take care of you properly.
Lupita Vasconcellos agrees that a fuss is still a fuss, “Ciri is right”.
Ciri Garzón went to the foyer with Dulcina Calvo, stood behind the door with her arms intertwined and said, “It’s the big day, the tenth wedding, does the groom have to give us a red package?”
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo have done their homework to be bridesmaids and have learned a lot of tricks to torment the groomsmen.
Adán Rouco said from outside: “Open the door, you are going to get your red packets”.
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo opened the door, but the two stopped it. The groomsmen, who were almost always distant gentlemen from the groom to the best man, naturally did not force entry, not to mention the bridesmaids stopped the door game, which was naturally played with them according to etiquette and rules.
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo raised their hands: “President Rouco, bring the red envelope”.
Santino Yepes took out twenty red envelopes and handed out ten to each one, smiling, “Miss Perla, Miss Dulcina, that’s a lot of red envelopes, ten to each one, ten to everyone, that’s enough red envelopes, right?”
Ciri Garzón grunted slightly and weighed the thickness and weight of the ten red envelopes. “President Rouco is so rich that this thickness is nothing, but I’m on good terms with Dulcina, so I won’t embarrass you.”
Matthew Galvez smiled as he pulled them aside and tried to be inconspicuous, “Those two beauties are beautiful and kind, so we can go in and get the bride!”.
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo stopped her with open arms at the same time.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey! It’s not enough, you guys don’t want to get muddy!”
Matthew Galvez and Esteban Zaragosa, the godfather, had to help Adán Rouco. Dr. Esteban, you have to seduce your Dulcina Calvo to let us in!”
Esteban Zaragosa was about to say something when Dulcina Calvo said with a firm little face: “Don’t you dare! I’m not his girlfriend today! I’m Estrella’s maid of honor! No way you’re coming in through the back door!”.
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo high-fived and Ciri Garzón joked: “Dulcina, good job!
“That must.”
Adán Rouco, with the red rose in his arms, asked: “And what does it take for them to let us in?
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo looked at each other with starry eyes, ready to get closer.
“The bride has devised a puzzle to interrogate them all.”
Matthew Galvez let out a scornful laugh, “It’s not that simple, we are three very intelligent and educated people here, we are not afraid of your childishness. Come on.”
Dulcina Calvo asks, “Who gives answers but does not speak?”
Matthew Galvez froze: “What, you’ve got a problem with the title, don’t you, dummy?”
Ciri Garzón had a stopwatch in her hand and unhurriedly reminded them: “One minute to countdown, if there is no response in one minute, the barrier will not be broken”.
Matthew Galvez pulled out his phone and tried to search the Internet, but Ciri Garzon caught him: “Googling answers is cheating! It doesn’t count.”
“Hey!!! I mean, are you guys being reasonable? Can’t you even look up answers on the internet?”
Adam Rouco hooked his thin lips and calmly communicated the correct answer, “A calculator. ”
Dulcina Calvo’s eyes widened in disbelief, “President Rouco, you are turning your head too fast!”
Ciri Garzón simply does not believe that a man as decent as Adán Rouco seems to be can play such childish games of wit on a regular basis.
Ciri Garzón shouted in the bedroom: “Estrella! Have you told your husband in advance? That’s cheating! No, no, no! This time it doesn’t count”.
Matthew Galvez said at the top of his lungs, “Hey! You’re being unreasonable, woman! When are you going to let us in when you say we’re cheating because we gave the right answer?”
Esteban Zaragosa suggested, “Why don’t you come up with another theme, one that you can come up with that the bride can’t know about beforehand to tell the groom?”
Ciri Garzón raised an eyebrow, “Well, listen then. I won’t make it hard for you this time, I’ll test you on a logical thinking question, something you’re good at.”
“There are three mysterious rooms, the first in which a fire may break out and end your life, the second in which a shapeless killer is hiding, and the third in which you are hungry lions for a year, so which room should you choose to save your life?”
Estrella Berrocal, sitting on the bed in her bedroom, had barely reacted when she heard Adán Rouco outside reply: “The lion. Because the lion has been starving for a year and is half dead, so why are you afraid?
Matthew Galvez immediately said, “Now we’re not cheating! They should let us in now.”
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo were no longer difficult: “Okay, come in”.
The groom and groomsmen exhaled softly and walked briskly into the bedroom.
Upon entering the bedroom, Adán Rouco saw the little woman sitting on the big red party bed in a white wedding dress.
Adán Rouco is slightly stunned –
The woman in front of him has white skin and red lips, her features are delicate and clean, and her eyebrows and eyes have a soft, light smile.
He had known many lovely women, but the woman before him was the most beautiful he had ever met in his life, and she was also his only wife.
Mateo Gálvez pushed Adán Rouco from behind: “What are you doing? Hurry up and take the bride home”.
Adán Rouco, holding a red rose in his hand, approached Estrella Berrocal and knelt down, looking at each other with deep love.
“Mrs. Estrella, I’m coming to get you, will you come home with me?”
Under the ambiguous gaze of a room full of people, Estrella Berrocal blushed and smiled with her small hands covering her mouth.
She was very tempted to say yes, but …
Estrella Berrocal lifted her feet and looked at him in anguish: “But I can’t walk with my feet handcuffed”.
Adán Rouco: …
It was her first marriage and she didn’t expect to have so many jokes to make.
Matthew Galvez was also speechless: “You don’t have the kindness to cuff the bride’s feet! You wouldn’t want the groom to take the bride home, would you?”.
Lupita Vasconcellos laughs: “More twists to make the groom appreciate his bride more!”.
Esteban Zaragosa asked Dulcina Calvo, who was standing next to him, “Where are the keys?”.
Dulcina Calvo said at once, “Surely the key can’t be given to you so easily.”
“That’s right, the groom now goes down the block with his horn in his hand and in half an hour, collect ten signatures of people who wish you marriage and you will get the key to unlock the handcuffs on the bride’s feet.”
Estrella Berrocal, hearing this, thought it was a bit difficult. Adán Rouco was always arrogant and noble, so he would be embarrassed to come down with a loudspeaker and shout.
Estrella Berrocal reached out her hand and tugged on Ciri Garzón’s sleeve: “Ciri, forget it, give him the keys”.
Ciri Garzón looked at Estrella Berrocal blankly, “You can’t be so protective of him when you’re not even married yet!”.
Estrella Berrocal looked fondly at Adán Rouco, who was left alone.
Dulcina Calvo held up a horn and handed it to Adán Rouco: “President Rouco, here!
