1.) We did have our good and very good moments.

Things warmed up when there was a time the MIL approached the wife to borrow some money, I wrote a check and just gave it to them, told us to pay back when they can. Wasn't big amounts, usually between RM2-5,000 and they would pay it back within a month and with interest that my wife took it upon herself as her pocket money.

Then he started borrowing amounts closer to RM20,000 which I also let him have it and he started introducing me to these bunch of Real Estate Agents that were syndicated speculators. His repayments started being dragged out from within a month to 2-3 months, wasn't an issue as these bunch of contacts and me started playing around with real estate that we could quick or even very quick flips. It didn't bother me then that he took longer to pay back money he had borrowed. Also gave the wife some commission and told her to share it with her mother each time there was a paycheck.

Then he graduated to asking for amounts closer to RM50-100,000 over 4-6 months. He introduced me to 2 politicians then that first I was doing some professional work for them, then we became closer and these 2 persons proved to be an absolute goldmine as I stopped worrying that he borrowed RM70,000 and was struggling to pay it back, I simply told the wife if can collect then the money was her's as it got to the point I preferred the good relations rather than to rock the boat. Again did the same with the commissions and everyone was very happy, all differences were either forgotten or kept at the back burner.

Then came the good times, I told him come join our party as I had managed to mesh up those 2 politicians and the REAs. Unfortunately he preferred to do his own party and kept on trying to be a developer. Those 2 politicians would tell us which pieces of land to buy up and hold, said we could thank him within 2 years. I started becoming a bit tighter with my policy towards lending the inlaws any money as everything I put it into what these 2 politicians were giving out. Things started cooling when I started scrutinizing where my money was going to, also it came to the situation where if I felt the amount being asked for was simply too big I'd ask him to sell me something instead, he had a portfolio of around 25 houses, freehold, double storey terrace as well as a few single storey ones and all of them had 3 things in common, mortgaged or title used to secure an OD facility, bad shape and nice number. I started buying up all his good location, single storey terraces first and then the double storey ones that were located in Cheras or PJ, always the same formula, what he owed on it + RM50-100,000 cash advance, it would always be around 10-25% below market value but he'd take it anyway as he couldn't look pass the immediate cash advance.

By the 4th year things started cooling, I had already owned all the good stuff of him, the remaining stuff were mostly stuff in places like Bangi, Nilai or Kajang or the ever infamous CyberJaya. His problems didn't end and he kept coming and would often bug his daughter to get me to either give him a loan to bankroll his failing projects, buy up one of his less desirable stuff or even worse buy units at his projects. Also by this time the payouts I received from the deals with his contacts were much bigger than before and I went through that phase the more I earned the harder I found it to give even the wife some money that I didn't have to give her. In the early days where the payout was RM10-15,000, I could easily cash out RM4,000, give her a kiss and place it either in her pocket or bra. When my share of the payouts became RM100,000 or more, I found it difficult to give her RM100 and she could forget about me giving her RM1,000 as it would never happen.

It was in the 4th year that things went from lukewarm to outright cold. He knew I had several big payouts and he told the wife I had some big payouts thanks to his contacts. Her parents came to her and told her they were in big financial trouble, basically he was trying to build 2 rows of shops except he did not have any money to do it. Therefore he used his house as collateral to secure an OD to bankroll the project. The house was appraised at RM2,200,000 (whoever that valued it obviously didn't take a look inside) and was offered RM700,000 in an OD facility. He maxed it out straight away and each month would pay RM4,500 in finance charges. He had a very ambitious 9 months target to complete all 26 units and needed to sell 20 of the units within that 9 months and even with the interest he would be able to bank in RM700,000 in profits. Fantastic eh?? Only trouble, 3 weeks into the project his earthworks contractor told him he needed to spend around 20% more to strengthen the slope. His reply?? It would be 5 years or more before someone noticed the problem by then he would have shutdown the company and there would be no one to sue. He pressed on and 7 months later during the rainy season 4 of the shops started sinking and major cracks started appearing. The original earthwork contractor cut him a deal but he decided to go for someone that undercut, did it halfway then told him it could not be done for that price. By then he had no money left and it was further compounded by the slow sales as by then of the 26 units only 3 had a booking.
Wife told me the issue, she insisted I help them, I told her I had no way to help as the amount was simply too big and I did not have that kind of money sitting around to help them. He kept telling her I definitely had that much available and could easily afford to give him the money to save the house and the project. I told her I am not going to throw good money into bad causes and if they wanted me to help then they can try to sell me something as no way I'd give them free money. They asked me to sign up for mortgages to buy up 10 of those shops, I told them to go to hell, told the wife if she kept insisting then we probably should go separate ways (I had already made exit plans then) and finally it got to it, I told them to cut the bullshit as I was getting really tired of all of them by then, I gave them a deal, I would buy up their house for how much they owed + RM150,000 cash advance, then rent it back to them for RM888 each month and sometime in the near future when they wanted to buy it back then I'd sell it back to them for a good price. Was it worth it?? Nah, the house though appraised for RM2,200,000 did not take into account the house was in terrible condition, it was extended and renovated 10+ years previously in a very flamboyant style that was in vogue then but was essentially crumbling with all kinds of troubles which he didn't bother to fix. Leaky main pipes that caused a RM700 per month water bill?? He rather pay the RM700 than to pay RM5,000 to address the issue and it had been leaky for over 4 years. Leaky roof?? Just patch the plaster boards when it had holes will do. Calculated the house needed close to RM800,000 worth of repairs done to it. They paid 2 months rental then moved all their valuable stuff and rented the house to an illegal kindergarten for RM3,500 per month. I was livid as I thought I acted in goodwill and had good intentions they turn around to do something of that sort. Wife and started having some big fights and I left to go stay in Taiwan for a project till she flew over to coax me to come home. When I returned I found out he was boasting to everyone how he had outsmarted me. I felt sick to my stomach over the matter, I banked in enough money into that account where the mortgage payments were being debited from for 2 years and told myself I did not want to hear about that house, see that house and basically blanked it out. 2 years later when we split up I told a real estate agent to take control of it and tell the kindergarten to pay rental to me unless they wanted to move out. This was where all the issues over the past few years that were swept under the carpet came out again. Thankfully last year I demolished that house then built a new house on it then sold it on.

2.) It did surprise us that she decided to take care of the old man especially in view of the events. She also changed her stance on a lot of issues, from him being the bad guy he became the good guy. Now the wife is the bad one in her books.

I was walking back to my car after a meeting.

I passed by one Perodua Kenari which W was getting out of and heard my name. I turned around to look and in my mind I said shit this can't turn out well and then I quickly turn on the video recorder as I was expecting she would get aggressive

Me : In a hurry, you have a good evening.

I kept walking.

W chases up to me.

W : In a hurry or avoiding me?

Me : Both.

W : I been trying to call you since Chinese New Year.

Me : I have nothing to say to you.

W : STOP IT!! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!!

She catches up to me and grabs my arm.

W : STOP WALKING AWAY FROM ME!! I TALKING TO YOU!!

I shake her off and brush off where she touched.

Me : Keep your filthy Chinese hands to yourself.

W : Why no take my calls or reply my WhatsApp? (I had blocked her on WhatsApp)

Me : I have no reason to do so. Good day.

H catches up.

W : This is *** **** from church.

H : Hello, I am *** ****, you can call me ****

I give him a Donald Trump type handshake which surprised him : Yeah hi.

W : He is ****** & ****** dad.

Me : You need not give out that information.

W : You embarrassed of your children and me?

Me : It is an embarrassment I took so long to discover what an embarrassment you are.

H : Hey she good person.

Me : That's your opinion and I suggest you keep it to yourself.

H : She only want talk.

Me : I have lawyers to deal with rubbish persons.

W : We do need to talk.

Me : Good bye Ms **** (Her family name)

W : Why must call me like that?

H : I think better leave him alone.

W : I must talk to him now and I know he purposely not taking my calls.

Me : You are right there is something we do need to discuss.

W : Ok.

Me : When are you compensating me for the damage on the Renault?

W looking stunned and paled out : What you mean?

Me : What part of it is unclear to you?

H : Small damage only right? Easy settle one....

Me : You can have a look yourself, it is the yellow Renault parked by that pillar. (I point to the pillar)

H goes to see.

W : You no have any proof I did it.

She starts telling me legal terminologies and standards of proof as well as reminding me she read law to a British standard.

Me : No worries. I will just forward all the proof to the I/O and insurance company. They will know how to deal with the loyar buruk you are.

W : YOU DON'T LIE TO ME. I know all your tricks.

Me : I am not and if you know my tricks you should know how to keep away from me.

H comes by : Scratches only, I can help settle.

Me : Sure thing, let me show you the quotation.

I show him the quotation from the 4S on my phone.

H : Oh no, how could it cost so much? RM7,000 is too much.

Me : Doesn't seem much to me. Oh well! I'll let the insurance company handle it.

H : I got friend with workshop, RM1,000 everything settle.

Me : I rather go to court.

H : Our church many good lawyers. Hard for you win.

Me : Who are they?

H starts telling me the names of 3 lawyers.

Me : Yeah we go way back.

H : No way you will win.

Me : Right, are you familiar with retainer fees? If you aren't you should ask if I pay them a retainer fee.

H to W : You no need pay.

H : He go court he lose.

Me : I can afford to lose, no worries. Here let me show you something since you said I will lose.

They both come by, I point to W : Not you, you keep 2 arm lengths away from me.

She continues coming forward.

Me : What part of 2 arms length do you not understand.

H : I see then tell you.

H comes by, I play a footage of W using a screw driver to scratch the car, stabbing the rear spoiler and then forcing the folded mirror to open and close several times.
Then I show him a 2nd footage.

H : Aiyoh somemore so clear.

H : Eh that one don't look like CCTV footage.

Me : Nope, someone videoed it using a phone and dashcam. Smart ass here was unaware someone was watching her that nite.

W : SHOW IT TO ME!!

Me : Fuck off, you can see it when it is played in court.

W : You were never this way, why you want me to go to jail?? I am ****** & ******'s mummy.

Me : It is where people like you belong.

W starts crying : I am sorry I did it, I should not have done it but I really could not control myself that nite.

Me : That's too bad, its about time you and your parents learn to deal with the consequences of your own actions, I'm done giving you chances and bailing you lot.

H : Everything can be discussed and settled right? No need till court.

Me : Changing your tone? Thought you said I'd lose.

H : Sorry sorry I did not know.

W : Please I no money to pay, I still no job. You want see your own children's mummy in jail?

H : Yeah I sure hope you become cellmates with Rosmah.

Then I receive a phone call from a certain Swedish woman. We speak in Swedish for around 5 minutes while she stares at me.

W : You were speaking to that bitch ********* (her archrival & nemesis but my good friend) ?

Me : Takes one to know one.

W : MUST BE HER!!

Me : Good day Ms ****.

W : How many times you been seeing that bitch?

Me : More than you'd have liked and one thing for sure each time was a moment to be proud off unlike the embarrassment it is to encounter you here.

W starts flushing red, I knew I had to get away.

I took a few steps back and start heading for my car.

W : YOU STAND THERE I NOT FINISH TALKING TO YOU!!

I keep walking, H tries to tell W not to go after me. She tells him to go away. 

W got to the Renault first as there were several big SUVs and a Hilux that made it difficult to walk between cars and she stood by the driver door.

Me : Move away.

W leans against the car door : NO.

Me : Get lost, I am in a hurry.

W : Which White bitch you in a hurry to meet?

Me : Fuck off!!

W : Why you standing so far away? Come closer to me. (I was standing by the mirror of a Hilux parked behind my car)

Me : Get your dirty Chinese ass away from my car and get lost. Nothing disgusts me more than seeing your face.

W : Why you feel so entitled, you were never this way when you were with me, you must be with many Whites who feel entitled to everything that's why you became this way.

Me : I'm entitled to a life free of your shit, now get lost you are pissing me off.

H comes by and tries to lead her away by her arm : Leave him alone, you can't force him talk with you.

W frees her arm and pushes him away : Go away.

He tries again she gives him a back kick at the shin and pushes him away : LEAVE ME ALONE I WILL TALK TO HIM!!!! 

H goes around the car to be in front of her.

W : You want talk to me or you want wait here?

H : Please don't be this way, let's go eat and it is a long way to get to ****** house for bible study.

W : I will stand here till he talks.

Me to H : Move your bitch away.

H : You so smart, you do yourself.

Me : You call yourself a man you can't even move your own bitch away?

He gives me a blank stare while nursing his shin.

Me : Are you wanting to have a talk with me about money?

W : I need to talk about everything.

I take out RM300 from my pocket. I beckon him to come by.

Me to H : Here you give this to your bitch and tell her to go away.

W : Have some respect for ****** & ******, I am their mummy, STOP CALLING ME A BITCH I AM NOT ONE AND I HATE BEING CALLED ONE.

H gives her the RM300.

Me : You've got your money now bugger off away from my door.

W : I never say I leave after getting money but thanks for the money. I do need it very badly. Come with me for a drink then we can sit and slowly talk.

Me to H : I don't have time for this. Move her away.

W : Why you scared to push me away? Come hug and carry me away.

Me : Fuck off.

W : Come, I long time never get cuddled and hugged by you, faster come hug me tight tight first.

Me : I am going to the gents, by the time I get back you better be gone.

W : I wait here.

I hear H coaxing W to go.

I head to the gents to take a leak.

H comes along as I finish.

Me : Is she in the ladies?

H : Still same spot.

Me : Oh well, she can just wait there then.

H : You just talk to her, she get what she want she will leave you alone.

Me : I take orders from nobody.

I give a call to the lady I had a meeting with earlier, asked her if she was still at the mall, she told me she was at the same cafe we met earlier. I quickly run in to see her, asked her to exchange car keys with me and that I'd explain later. We tell each other where our cars were parked.

I head out and noticed H was doing voice messages and then following me. I head towards the carpark.

He caught up to me.

H : You talking to her?

Me : Nope. I have a date.

H : She is still there.

Me : So??

H : You won't be able to go.

Me : That's what you think, you don't know me and you shouldn't underestimate or presume anything about me.

H : You won't get pass her, she willing to go hungry to wait.

Me : You can't even control your own bitch and you're telling me?? The Chinese have a saying and no doubt being a chinaman you should be familiar with it but I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice.

H : What you doing to her?

Me : Nothing.

I start walking.

H : Your car that way.

I keep walking.

H : Hey you going wrong way.

He keeps repeating it a few times while following me.

Me : I suggest you stop following me before I call security.

H : I trying to help.

Me : Didn't I tell you I was heading out for a date?

I unlock and get into the BMW X5 I was standing next to, start it up.

He looked stunned and in a daze. 

I pull forward, put down the window.

Me : I have forgotten more than you'll ever know, just remember when you have money you have power and when you have power you also have freedom. Now if you don't mind stepping aside its time to power my way out to be free of that shit bitch of yours.

Me : How's your leg?

H : What you think?

Me : Bet you think such a leftover is an excellent catch.

H : I praying she will change.

Me : Good luck.

H : I no believe luck.

Me : Well good luck anyway as you will be needing it and good bye.

I put up the window and drive by to the Renault, true enough she was still standing by the drivers door.

I sound the horn, put the window down and say to her : I'll be on my way now Ms ****.

She starts crying and told me not to go and as I put up the window she shouting some obscenities and told me to get out of the car to talk to her. I floor that X5 to get out of there.

AGf and me was taking a walk while holding hands at Publika. I told her I miss my life in Texas, told her of the good times I had in Texas making steaks and cruising in my former Buick. She told me I have something better than a Buick and suggested a surf n' turf date. I told her to get a cart so we could get stuff for our date as well as party tomorrow with her parents.

We get the vegetables and fruits, then salmon, prawns and squid.

Then while nearing the butcher section W, S and D followed by H appeared.

Me : Oh shit!! I miss Texas because there wasn't any shitty people about.

AGf : That came from nowhere. What's wrong hunny?

Me : Oh boy!! Brace for trouble peach, the brats and ex just showed up.

She looks around and I switch on the video recorder expecting W to make trouble.

S : Mummy look that's daddy.

D & S runs and pulls W along while screaming Daddy daddy daddy.

D : HI daddy. You long time never come home.

S : Daddy, long time no see.

W stares at AGf as does H.

Me : I'd appreciate some privacy, thank you.

D : Daddy why you holding hands with her?

Me : Why not? Oh yeah, this is ****** my daughter.

AGf : Hi ******, I am *****

D & AGf shake hands.

S : I am ******. You so tall like daddy.

AGF & S shake hands too.

Me : Ermm and this is **** (W's family name)

W glares at AGf, taken by surprise and starts flushing in anger.

Me : Well you lot best be on your way as I have a long day ahead.

W snaps : Yeah right.

H stares at AGf's 36DD boobs : Yes sir, we will be off, we have potluck bbq and prayer meeting tonite, want join us and let us pray for you.

Me : Nah I prefer spending my time squeezing what you were staring at just moments ago.

H : Uh oh....

Me : Thanks anyway but ain't interested in that type of shit these days plus being among a rubbish person doesn't rank too high on my priority list.

AGf : *******!!!!  (My name sternly)

D : Daddy, why don't you hold mummy's hand instead of *****'s?

H tries to hold W's hand but W brushes his hand away.

Me : I best get on with it.

H : Yes we stay out of your way sir.

H asks W if she could help choose some fruits. D and W head away. I sigh in relieve.

H tries to order the marinated chicken wings but starts getting ticked off because the butcher comes to serve AGf and me first.

I order thick cut ribeye steaks and beef joints for our party the next day.

AGf : Splurging there hunny.

Me : Thick cut steaks for a special date. We gonna do it Texas style peach. Can't be feeding you chicken now could I?

I give her a kiss.

AGf : I'll be your cowgirl tonite.

I draw AGf closer by her waist and she rests her head on my shoulder : You can ride me all nite long cowgirl, I'll be the horse tonite.

S worms his way infront of AGf and gets between AGf and me : Daddy why you want to be horse?

Me to S : What are you doing here?

D comes running back asking S why he didn't follow.

S : Daddy you buying steaks for us also?

Me : Go back to your mother immediately.

S : Mummy gone that side, I be with you okay?

I look to see she was choosing some soon to expire fruits.

D to AGf : You should not be doing this to our daddy.

AGf : Another woman would be here if it wasn't me. 

D : Yes, that other woman would be my mummy. 

AGf : You will have to take it up with him young lady.

H : Hey ******, come be with me.

D : I don't want. My daddy is here.

W comes by with some fruits.

Me : I hope you aren't feeding that shit to our children.

W glares at me.

D : Daddy, we need you at home, why don't you come home and be with mummy?

Me : I have a new home and you know I don't care for downgrades in life.

AGf : ******* (my name) That's not nice.

S : We need you at home, why you left us?

Me : Ask your mother. I ain't got time now.

D : You always told us to hear both sides of the story.

I show D my pack of steaks.

Me : My steaks are waiting. I will see you another time.

I hold AGf's hand and tug her along. I notice H staring and oogling at AGf.

While pointing at AGf I tell H : Quit staring at her chinaman your bitch is back there. Make sure you keep your bitch on leash yeah?  

He looks at me and opens his mouth.

AGf pulls me along : I am looking forward to a good nite tonite.

Me : I feel the same way cowgirl.

D runs in front of our cart.

I turn around and tell W : You should know how to take our children elsewhere? Can't you see I'm busy?

W : YOU NOT BUSY!! YOU HAVING GOOD TIME AND FEELING ENTITLED AS USUAL!!!!.

Me : What if I am? You have a problem?

AGf : Hunny, let's not spoil the evening shall we?

W : Why?? We are now an embarrassment and inconvenience to you is it?

D : You don't love us any longer? Why you don't care mummy and us are starving all the time? (She starts crying)

People were starting to look and some talk among themselves.

Me : There is a time and place for such conversations, that time is not now and place not here. Stop making an embarrassment of yourselves.

Me to D : Go back to your damn mother.

AGf : Hunny, there's no need to be so harsh, she is just a child and its probably just a lil too much for her right now.

S looking disappointed and sad : Daddy you not buying us steaks? Please daddy buy some for us.

AGf : Oh hunny, why don't you pick up some steaks for them, let me go get some for them alright?

Me : They have a mother that should be buying them steaks.

Me to S : Go back to your mother.

S as he goes back to his mother : Mummy always says she has no money. It is so unfair.

I pull AGf : Come along peach let's get out of here.

D : Daddy, I am very hungry, I have not eaten since lunch.

I push the cart to a side and turn around.

S : Daddy, I am hungry also, I been hungry all the time since you left home. (He starts holding my leg to cry)

AGf tries to console him and that he will get some food soon. S starts hugging her.

W in Mandarin to S : You don't go near her, COME HERE IMMEDIATELY!! 

I point to W : What's this shit I hear that my children are hungry? There are 30 different eateries here you could not get them something?

W : You think everyone rich like you?

Me : Keep your bullshit to yourself as I've heard enough of your bloody bullshit to last a lifetime.

AGf : *******!! There's no need to be so hateful.

S : Daddy!! Could we eat, am so hungry. 

Me : You are pissing me off and I suggest you get your act together immediately.

W : You not happy you buy them dinner why talk so much. (she starts some racists swearing in Hakka)

D : Daddy!! Please could we eat now. I am so hungry. (Still crying)

Me : You 2 go get a seat and order yourself some dinner.

H comes by with his chicken wings.

H : Hi excuse me but no time for them eat first. Meeting starting soon there got food to eat.

Me : My children will not go hungry and let me be very clear with you on this, you mess around with her I don't give a toss, you don't ever let me find out you been messing with my children. I hope I made myself very clear to you on this.

H : Sorry sorry sorry. I swear I never messed with them.

Me : Shut the fuck up and get off my face.

AGf : Hunny that wasn't necessary.

Me : See the shit I have to put up with, this is why I hate coming back to this fucked up place, only shit awaits me every time and every time I have to solve such shit.

AGf : Cool it hunny.

Me : I'll be fixing ****** & ****** dinner. Could you please be a sweetheart and pick up the remainder of our groceries.

AGf : Sure thing hunny. I'll be on my way.

Me : Thanks peach.

I gave her a kiss and she went off with the cart.

D waves and calls : Daddy!! We got table.

I go to where they were seated. W & H follow.

Me : Have you ordered your dinner?

D : Daddy you eating with us? 

S : Daddy, I can order anything?

Me : Go ahead ******, I am buying your dinner.

D : Can I order for mummy too?

Me : No you may not and hurry up as I need to pay and get out of here, I'm quite pissed off as it is.

W to D in Mandarin : ******, quickly order your dinner, don't upset daddy or he won't buy food for you.

They start to order while I take a phone call.

AGf comes by I go to meet her and we discuss a few issues.

H & W gets into their own conversation.

The food comes and I go to the table. W was telling them to pack their dinner as it was late.

Me : You leave them alone while they eat their dinner. I do not want to hear my children being hungry again, is that clear to you?

D & S start eating.

Me : Slowly eat. Enjoy your dinner. I will be off, will come by to pay the bill when you are done.

D : Daddy this is so tasty.

Me : It is only tasty because you are hungry. It is just some very ordinary pasta and soup otherwise.

S : Daddy, this roast is so good, I ordered it with extra meat and potatoes. See they gave so much meat.

Me : I hope you can finish it.

H : Hi we late must go.

Me : I suggest you make a move then. They will finish their dinner before they leave this mall.

W : He is leading the prayer and we came in his car.

Me : What the fuck did I tell you about our children riding in other peoples cars? I paid a good part for your car for a reason.

Me to S : Were you in your booster seat on the way here?

W stares at him.

Me : ****** (S's name) I asked you a very simple question, yes or no.

S keeps quiet while looking at W who was staring hard at him.

Me : Hmmmm.... I wonder who would be the first to tell me the truth.

I look at W : I need not hope on you.

I beckon the waiter to come by, told him to take those 2 plates and throw it away then bring me the bill. They both hug their plates close to them.

Me : Answer me or your dinner is going straight to the bin. You 2 don't mess with me and you should know better than to test my patience.

AGF : *******!! KNOCK IT OFF!! YOU KNOCK IT OFF RIGHT NOW!!! You don't be doing that to them!

She comes by and tells the waiter to go away.

AGf to me : You don't ever be messing around with their food. That's not cool.

AGf starts telling them to eat and not to worry their meal won't be taken from them.

D : Daddy, we were not in a seat.

Me : Why not?

S : Uncle H said we no need to wear seatbelt.

Me to H : What the fuck, thought you just said you were not messing with my children, what the fuck did you just do? You think this is a bloody joke?

AGf : Easy there hunny!! Such things happen, cool down hunny, it can be sorted out.

Me to W : You've gone mad? What kind of mother are you these days? First I find you let them go hungry for a church event, now I find you allowed them to ride in a shitbox without seatbelts? You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. Why are they even in a shitbox to start with?

W : I no longer have a car.

Me : What happened to the Mazda?

W looks down : Crashed.

I shake my head.

W : I wasn't the one that crashed it.

Me : How many times have they been going out in a shitbox? Don't lie to me ****, you don't want to find out how pissed I am right now.

W : Today first time.

Me : Yah I believe you. How many times?

W : I telling the truth. You ask them.

Me : Whatever it is their journey here will be the last, I do not want to hear or know of them being in a shitbox again. Is that fucking clear to you?

H : She is telling the truth.

Me : Shut up no one asked you.

W asks H to leave without her and she would join later on. H insists on staying on.

AGf : *******!! Cool it hunny, it probably was just an oversight...

Me to W : How much money have I been sending you every month?

W starts tearing.

AGf gives W a pack of tissues.

AGf : Hunny shall we make a move?

Me : In a bit peach. Seems this is a bigger shit than I thought it was. Let me wait till they finish their dinner, who knows what will happen to their dinner otherwise.

W : I WON'T EAT THEIR DINNER OKAY!!!!

Me to W : Go on, check your bank account, how much have I been sending you every month?

H : Clearly not enough lah, you think your money very big is it?

Me : Definitely bigger than your dick.

AGf : ******* that was uncalled for, stop being so mean.

I noticed something unusual in the cart.

Me to AGf : What's the thing with the blue cap?

She goes to the cart and lifts it up : This?

Me : That is Chinese shit, put that shit back.

AGf : Its Skipys it is American.

Me : No no, that shit is made in China and full of palm oil. Read the label.

AGf : Jeez!! You are in a bratty mood.

Me : Get rid of it, nothing Chinese is ever good and this woman here proves it all.

AGf : Cut that racism out and lose the attitude before I send you back to Texas.

Me : Get on with it. Get a JIF, that's the only American peanut butter about these days.

She heads off.

I call after her to give her my credit card and car key : Could you please help me settle up and load it in the car. I'll be along as soon as I am done fixin them.

D to AGf : Could you stay with us while we eat, I scared daddy will throw our dinner.

AGf : Y'all don't be worrying about that, he won't be doing that again and y'all have to trust me on that.

AGf to me : Don't be mean to them alright.

Me : Sure thing peach.

AGf : Later gator.

She gives me a kiss and she heads off.

S : Daddy, why you call her peach?

Me : She is a good and sweet Georgian woman.

D : Daddy you no longer driving the Renault? I saw you gave the peach a different key.

Me : I still have it, I also have another car that I ordered the day I decided to get rid of a certain shit person. 

S : Mummy better and sweeter. 

Me : Shut up and eat your roast. You better be done by the time I come back to settle the bill.

I head to the wine section. W follows as does H.

W catches up : Peach peach peach, so fast given that White bitch your credit card to use.

I turn around to look at her : The difference between her and you is she isn't a scoundrel and traitor.

H : Your sweet peach just told you not to be mean.

Me : Your bitch told you to fuck off and you're still about.

W : ya ya, one day she will ask you for money and you won't be calling her a sweet peach any longer. Will she be sour or smelly peach after that?

Me : Oh dear **** but you will be very disappointed soon.

H : Must be terrible for you, all the power your money can buy but you cannot undo your children have a Chinese mummy.

W : The real traitor and bitch here is you. How many you been sleeping with since you left me? I know you sleep with ** **** (her cousin), is that why you let her father buy the house? You really are the bitch. I last time ask you for small favor and the amount is so small for you but you pack bag and leave, like that not traitor?

Me : Both of you can shut up and get lost.

w : Why truth hurting you is it?

Me : Traitor or not I go to bed knowing I have done all I can to make sure my children are fed, disappointing I discovered their mother is a scoundrel instead. Tell me, what have you been doing with all the money I send you every month? Supporting him or supporting your parents?

W : None of your business.

Me : Yeah best you keep your mouth shut as each time it opens only Chinese shit falls out of it.

W starts more racist swearing.

I turn to head back to where the children were eating dinner. They were almost finished.

Me : How's dinner?

D : Very good, I finally get to eat enough to feel full.

Me : I was just wondering why you seemed to have gone thin. You not been eating enough lately?

W stares at D.

S : Daddy!! The roast is so tasty, it has been a long time since we ate something this good. Everyday we only eat chicken, eggs and pork, sometimes smelly sardine only.

Me : Tell me, what have you been eating for dinner lately that an inferior roasts is so tasty to you.

S : Mum cook.

Me : What about lunch then?

D : Also mum cook for us.

Me : What did she make for your lunch earlier?

S : Fried meehoon.

Me : I vaguely remember she made a very good fried meehoon and you should not be hungry if that was the case?

D : It is not the same one, this one only has soy sauce, taugeh and 1 egg 2 of us must share.

Me : What else do you get to eat for lunch?

D : If it is not fried meehoon then it is fried rice. Empty one with just beans and egg. Sometimes just plain rice with long bean omelette.

Me : Yuck!! That does not sound right, some strange diet there, what happened to the fish and meat you were supposed to be eating?

S : Mummy says only dinner we have meat as no money.

Me : Interesting!! How about breakfast then?

D : Just bread and sugar.

Me : What the hell?? Bread and sugar??? No cereal or fruit? You kidding me??

S : Yes daddy, bread, planta and sugar, also got no taste milo.

Me : I don't believe it. This can't possibly be true.

D : Daddy!! Is it true mummy says you no longer care for us that's why we can't eat like last time? (she starts to cry)

Me : I'm pretty sure you know the answer to that question. Tell me, who else eats with you?

S : Everyone.

Me : Who is everyone? The whole block? Whole house? Whole town? Who??

D tells it is them, their mummy, grandparents and aunt until the aunt ran away from home.

Me : Your aunt did not run away from home, she moved out because I gave her a job and a place to stay. I heard she left because of poor treatment at home.

S : Daddy!! Why you gave (their aunt) a job but don't give mummy a job.

W : Because he is traitor.

Me : I promise I will answer that question the next time I see you. Tell me, does everyone eat the same thing as you do and is there enough food for everyone?

D : Same but always not enough meat or vege because (their grandfather) eats everything first.

S : Daddy!! Sometimes I eat rice and gravy only, then I go Aunty **** (Our Filipina maid) room to eat Maggi.

Me : Holy shit!! You what?? Rice and gravy?? Maggi??? You aren't even supposed to be sniffing that shit. I can't hear this anymore.

Me to W : You fucking stupid scoundrel. How dare you steal off your children to support your parents. LOOK AT THEM!!! You think it is funny to abuse them?

H : Hey you watch your mouth, this not your house.

Me : What if I don't? What you gonna do tough guy?

W to H : You better go first or you cause more problems for me. 

H : I better stay or he bully you.

W : Just go first. You don't be here.

D : Daddy!! Don't scold mummy, she did not purposely.

Me to W : What fucking excuse you giving me now? Why did I fucking know this was exactly what you were doing. 

W : You don't talk fuck with me, that day I ask you for hug also you no give. (She starts to cry)

Me : Shut up!! What kind of disgusting mother are you? How dare you abuse and neglect them!! Goddamn you do make me want to throw you in the slammer.

W : I been trying to call you but you ignore me.

Me : What is it you wanted to tell me? That you've gone mad? You are a bloody disgrace.

H to W : You just ignore him and we can go.

H to me : You stop bullying her, don't think you got money we afraid of you.

W to H : Go for the meeting, you leave me I know what to do.

H : I wait for you.

Me : What's the condition of the home now?? Has it gone to shits as well?

H : It is none of your business how her home is.

Me : The condo better be spotless when I get there which will be very soon.

H : You are not allowed to go to her home.

Me : Who are you to stop me?

Me : Do you know who owns the condo she lives in?

I walk close to H.

Me : How are you going to stop me? You should know by now you are very low down the food chain and I don't even eat people like you for breakfast.

H : WHAT?? YOU WANT TO GO OUTSIDE TO FIGHT??

W pulls me back I tell her to go away. She moves to my front and uses her entire body to push me back. She then tells H she had just saved him and to leave before he ends up in hospital.

Me : You're too small a fry for me to bother.

H : I not afraid of you.

Me : Good. Just remember this isn't your turf.

H : You big gangster? Taiko is it?

Me : If it will make you happy to deal with one I can call several of them to come by. You want to deal with 3-Line or 21? They can be here in under 5 minutes if you would like me to call them over.

W tells him to go as he does not know what I'm capable of doing to him.

I take out my phone.

H : Why you taking out your phone, who you want to call?

Me : Thought you said you were not afraid, I just told you I don't deal with small frys like you and I just remembered the I/O messaged me earlier to ask me whether I wanted to proceed with the case. I guess I should give him a call.

W to H : You satisfied now? See the trouble you just got me into. I told you to leave you just leave don't stay around and irritate me.

Me to H : I hope you don't live too far from Sg Buloh as you'll be visiting your bitch there very soon.

W : You stop referring me as his bitch, I am not his and I am not a bitch. Have some respect for ****** & ****** I am their mummy.

Me : You don't deserve to be their mother, the only thing you deserve is jail time with the key thrown away.

W : You stop being that way in front of them, you making them scared, see they both crying.

I start dialing for AGf.

H : Eh who you calling? I sorry okay. Sorry sorry sorry.

Me : I suggest you move along pal, my children will not be riding in your shitbox and you will be waiting here for a while.

AGf answers her phone. I tell her to come by to get a drink.

I take out RM500 from my wallet and give it to D : I have no other choice at this time but to trust you on this. Don't drop this money, use this money to buy food for your brother and you.

Me to W : **** don't you dare steal their money and you don't fuck with me again. You know I don't take it too well when people fuck with me. Get their food and groceries sorted out immediately and for them only. Get it now and get lost. 

H : We got plans and now late.

Me : Does it appear to you that I give a shit?

W : I do it tomorrow okay? We came in his car.

Me : Stop the fucking excuses. GO NOW!! GO.

W starts crying.

Me : I've given ****** RM500, use RM450 for their groceries and the rest for a blue taxi home. You don't know how much your bloody fucking excuses has been pissing me off. You don't ever try fucking with me again, if I wanted I can throw your fucked up father in jail to join you as well, I have a thick file on him too.

W : Fuck and fuck, that's all you and your people know.

Me : Why have you become this way? I always took you for someone that cared deeply for our children, how on earth could you pull a 180 in such a short time?

W : Your fault.

Me : You don't start with me, it is not my fault you lost your job. It isn't my fault you lost your car and don't ever say it is my fault your damn parents fucked you over. Nope it isn't my fault if I choose not to be fucked over by you.

W : Fuck and fuck, that's all you know.

Me : You don't get smart with me, I have half the mind to throw you in jail and by golly you ought to know it won't take much for that balance to tip.

W starts tearing : If buy just for them I eat what?

Me : You go figure your own shit out, ****** & ****** will always be my children and it will always be my responsibility to ensure they are fed. You on the other hand are a nobody to me, quit asking me to feed you. Will you be asking me to fuck you as well?

W : If I ask now you will do is it?

Me : Forget it.

W : Why? You were the one that suggested. Come go home with me I long time never fuck.

W to H : You go.

H starts going red faced.

W : How?? You coming home with me?

Me : Dream on.

W : Why must dream? I asking you now, you tell that damn White bitch to go home on her own, then we buy groceries then we can fuck all nite long like you want to fuck that peach.

Me : Shut up.

H : You start fire and now cannot put out is it?

W : Just now talk fuck fuck fuck and fuck, now I say come home with me to fuck, you dare or not? DARE OR NOT... (she starts to cry)

W to H : You go now, I don't want to go out today.

H : You don't need to listen to him.

W : You don't be around me, I am very irritated now and I am in enough trouble as it is. I will call you later.

H stomps off empty handed.

D : Daddy!! Please don't be that way, she is our mummy.

S : Daddy, please feed mummy, she is hungry and needs food.

D : Could I order mummy some food?

Me : I suppose.

W cries as D says to her : Mummy I order for you okay.

W : Okay.

D quickly calls the waiter to order for her mum and a dessert for herself.

S goes to hug his mum : Daddy stop scolding mummy.

W's food shows up and she immediately starts eating.

AGf shows up.

AGf : Howdy hunny!! Been mean to her haven't ya?

Me : Nah just upset at myself for trusting the wrong person. 

D : But mummy said you no longer care for us that's why you stopped sending money to feed us.

S : Daddy is it true you no longer care or love us? Is it because you found ***** that's why you no longer want us?

AGf : Your daddy has never stopped thinking about you two. You will never know how much he misses you.

Me to S : Do you believe what your mother told you?

S : But mummy said you stopped giving her any money that's why she can't buy us food.

Me to W : Classy! Very classy of you to slander me that way. Why don't you tell them how much I sent you every month and what you been doing with that money.

W cries : Sorry but I don't know how else to do it.

AGf : Quit stabbing her at her wounds hunny, she needs your help not your hatred at this time.

W : Ya, want to talk to you also so difficult. You not being Donald Trump you same like Xi Jinping. 

Me : You shut up now. How dare you compare me to Winnie The Pooh.

W starts laughing : I know truth hurting you. Oh and this is very good and tasty, thank you for buying it for me. Where is it hurting you to see our children being nice to me and using your money to feed me?

AGf : Hunny!! Did you hear me?

Me : Yes dear peach, I heard you loud and clear cowgirl. She doesn't deserve anything from me. I can't believe the shit she said about me.

AGf : HUNNY!! Drop it okay, she probably didn't mean it.

Me to W : Tell me!! What other shit you told our children about me? Quickly tell it to me before I ask them to spill the beans then I'll make it the truth for you.

D : Daddy!! Please let mummy eat first, she very poor thing and she has even less than us to eat.

S : Daddy!! Please don't scold mummy, I will tell you what she said about you to us and to (their grandmother)

Me : You can tell it to me another time. I don't have time right now.

W : Why? Scared your sweet peach hears the truth about you?

Me : Shut up and eat your dinner. You still have groceries to buy and no one is interested in your lies.

I call for the bill and settle up.

Me to W : I don't want to hear them being hungry again, get their groceries and go home,  I will tell **** (our maid) what to do with the groceries and she will prepare their lunch and dinner from now on.

W : How dare you trust a maid more than you trust me.

Me : Shut up ****, you only proven yourself that you can't be trusted. I don't give a damn that your parents will starve to death or you have nothing to eat, the groceries are for them alone only.

W : But I am their mummy and you are also supposed to look after my welfare so I can take care of them.

AGf : Knock it off hunny, she does have a point ya know.

Me : Things will be the way I want it to be till you can prove to me you are still their mother.

D : Daddy you come back be with us better.

Me : I know what I'm doing, next time you are hungry let Aunty **** know as I pay her a good salary she won't let you go hungry.

S : When food finish then how? Daddy please I scared hungry again.

Me : You don't worry about that, I will make arrangements for you to get restocked with plenty of food including all your favorite foods.

D : But how?

Me : I will be giving money directly to Aunty **** to buy it for you and she will be preparing lunch and dinner for both of you, don't forget to smile for the camera as she will be sending me pictures as well as videos.

D : What if it does not work?

Me : It will work, stop worrying okay. I will head off now.

D : Daddy please don't leave us. (She starts crying. )

S : Daddy, please come home. (He starts crying.)

AGf and Me leave.
