SMILE MAUDIVES

After Marcel's death, Maudy ate as much of the typical cuisine of Male Island as she wanted. 'Maldives cuisine is amazing,' he thought.

He hoped that this tongue-in-cheek activity would be able to swallow some of his resentment towards the arrogant man.

"He must think that everything can be measured in money. Don't he? He hasn't changed," Maudy grumbled in annoyance. "Ugh, I just remembered the past. I was stupidly tempted by his good looks this morning. It really was a disguise for a hidden demon. The demon hidden behind that face might one day attack me. Hi...!" Maudy babbled and shuddered to herself.

The woman didn't know what else to do here. Everything he had planned about trips and adventures abroad since he was in school seemed unattractive to do. All ruined by a situation that really made him feel depressed.

After ordering a fresh drink as an excuse to linger, he decided to temporarily enjoy his new activity. Activities do nothing. Well, though he's less sure that doing nothing is worthy of being called an activity.

Amused the woman's heart with her ridiculous thoughts. The woman who was often called Maud raised her hair and tied it high. She wore an unadorned hair tie from her mini bag. He wanted to feel the warm wind blowing through his neck. It will also help her avoid the stray hairs that distract her from the beautiful and exotic as far as the eye can see.

The scenery here is beautiful. From this translucent glass, the endlessly lined luxury resorts, the tempting white sand to walk on, the sparkling and crystal clear blue sea water, and the distinctive feel of a beautiful tropical beach makes him wonder if all this is reality or a dream.

Maudy looked away. Something is disturbing the beautiful scenery. Wherever he looked, there was a couple making out. In fact, only a few act affectionately. Others are just doing their normal activities with their partner.

'Ah, but what's wrong with that? Haven't I become too uncomfortable with other people's activities I don't know?'

After all it is one of the most sought after resorts for honeymoon in the whole world. He was well aware of that. However, Maudy's irritated and envious mind also manipulated her view so that all the couples seemed to be making out and making out and even trying to show it off to Maudy, who was left alone by her husband during their honeymoon in another country.

"Ah, dammit. How annoying!"

Emotionally, he drank another fresh drink in front of him. Since he ate and drank that much, how much did he pay? But, what if Marcel lied?

Maudy shook her head while closing her eyes to calm her heart. He should be able to think straight. In fact, he was determined to act mature and not show his true emotions for the sake of twenty billion.

Let people think she is a matre woman if one day it is exposed. Maud didn't care. The important thing is that her sister's life is safe and she doesn't prostitute herself. He also didn't need to lose his organs. Well, what's missing is probably his freedom. He also had to prepare to live in a charade with his enemy.

"Your glass is empty. Should I refill it or is there anything else you would like, Miss?"

He looked at the male servant in silence.

"Well, this man is also handsome. I expected all men to be handsome at the time. I must be very wrong because I was deceived by his face," Maudy said.

"Sorry?" The maid looked at him with a confused look, but tried to put on a professional smile.

"Well, a smile like this is what I need. I'll use a professional smile like this butler. I'll call it a Maudives smile, a combination of Maudy and Maldives. Hihihi!" Her face looks very happy.

Maudy is taken from his name and Maldives is the name of this island nation. He nodded his head satisfied with the decision.

"Sorry, Miss! I don't understand," said the waiter again politely.

'Of course he doesn't understand! I've been using Indonesian.' Maudy kept thinking.

"Ah, I just said that you are handsome and that smile is very attractive," said Maudy.

The maid's face was a little red, but she was tough enough in her demeanor. Maudy guessed that maybe the waiter had mistakenly suspected that Maudy was trying to seduce him as the opposite sex. Its bad!

"Thanks for the compliment, you. I'm flattered." Apparently, Maudy's words were considered a form of politeness.

"Oh, just a minute!" Maudy showed off her Maudives smile for the first time. "Call me Madam not Miss. I'm a married woman," said Maud.

"Oh, I'm sorry, madam!" The maid bowed her head in apology.

"It's okay. I don't really mind this. Oh, yes. I want to pay for my food," said Maudy. "May I just pay here?" He lowered his voice as he glanced at the cashier.

"Yes, madam! Please wait a moment!"

Maudy calculated the amount of cash in her local currency. If not, is there a currency exchange near here?

"Miss, you don't have to pay anymore. Your boss says he's paid for everything until tomorrow."

Boss? Who's the boss? Maudy thought hard. Does Marcel want to make his own wife look like an affair?

'You bastard!' cursed the woman who had turned three in her heart.

"Ah, everyone? Didn't I order a lot of extra food and drink?" Maudy asked to be sure.

"Eating fullboard. That's the equivalent of eating three meals a day with a buffet system and free drinks all day long. So, no problem. Would you like some more, madam?" asked the waiter in a slightly stiff tone at the "Madam" section.

Maudy's face felt hot. It's like he's stuck within his own limits. If he got married and then went on vacation alone with his boss, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?

Not! Maudy didn't want to lose so soon.

"Hmm... it seems my husband has been taking great care of me. Oh, yes. There must be a mistake here. How can my husband be my boss? Maybe it was a typo. It wasn't "boss". It must have meant "boush". means husband in the regional language of our country," Maudy said with a serious face. But, lie! Maudy said in her heart.

"Ma...forgive us, madam."

"Okay. No problem. I'd like to ask for a recommended place for sightseeing around here. We already have it on our itinerary, but maybe we missed something? What's comfortable to enjoy on foot!"

"Oh, madam, which one do you want? Do you want to see dolphin attractions, museums, shopping centers, fish markets, or..."

"Sorry. I received a call first!"

Maudy pressed one of the buttons on her cellphone to open the incoming call through the WhatsApp account. As it turned out, it was from Lira, a close friend from his office.

The servant excused himself and left Maudy. He also promised to come back again.

"Maudy Angelia! Where have you been these two days? Are you sick?"

"Ouch, lower the voice please, Non. My eardrums might burst."

"Where the hell are you? Yesterday you didn't pick up my phone either," complained Lira angrily. "Are you sick? Or your sister..."

"Yes, Lira. I'm sick."

'I'm hurt and my pocket hurts. Maybe soon I'll also be mentally ill because of my naughty husband,' Maudy complained in her heart.

"Oh my gosh. What are you sick of? We have important and urgent work at the office."

"Just the flu. It's getting better. The doctor said rest for a week, but since I'm much better, I'm going to the office," Maudy said after making a quick decision. "Yes, yes. I want to rest. See you the day after tomorrow, Lira!"

"Okay. Get well soon, huh."

"Thank You." Maudy hangs up the call from Lira.

Maudy smiled bitterly. In fact, when on the plane to this country, Maudy had time to see a picture of Vaadho Island

which has another nickname Sea of ​​Star Island or glowing sea. In the picture, the sea and the beach are so beautiful with sparkling blue light.

"Maybe next time, I'll come with my sister to vacation there," Maudy said to herself. This was the first foreign country he had visited. Didn't expect it to be so short.

With the help of the hotel, Maudy immediately booked a ticket back to Indonesia. He had to go home soon because the journey took quite a long time. In fact, just yesterday, Maudy and Marcel arrived almost midnight.

The route that will be passed by him will have to transit in Colombo Sri Lanka. So, the trip can reach seven hours. This means that if he leaves at three in the afternoon, he will arrive in Indonesia at around ten at night.
