Chapter 14 From Farmer To Artist

Teddy had an extremely good morning sleep and when he finally woke up it was almost lunch time.Rosie her lover rushed into the room as soon as she heard him getting up."wah hi! look like you are the Boss and and not me,huh???",asked Rosie jokingly.Seeing no one following as she came in he grabbed her pinning her on the bed and began kissing her again and again.

She obviously pushed him away because he has yet to brush his teeth,"Ug.....You dirty fellow so dirty never brush your teeth yet,how dare you kissed me like that",she said.But who cares Teddy thought kissing her further.She being aroused responded to his advances kissed back heavily.They were at it for sometime before he let her go,to wake up for it was nearly lunch time.

Lunch was served and after that Teddy drove Rosie,her friends and her family around the farm.Finding Ah Chan his "kapala" instructed her to harvest all ripe fruits available for the Boss as she would be leaving the following morning.Ah Chan informed him of a fallen jungle tree along the boundary at the far edge of the jungle.

She boarded the jeep and went along to show Teddy the spot.There were some workers clearing the branches of the jungle tree.Teddy and Rosie went down to inspect that fallen tree."Hmm!!!a huge tree indeed",said Teddy telling the others.After pondering for a while hard examination of the huge tree.He instructed Ah Chan to get the guard to chain saw the tree into logs of 10 feet each a piece and have them transported back to his bungalow.Rosie looked at Teddy with amazement asked,"What are you going to do with them???".

"What do you think I want to do with them?",asked Teddy."How do I know? What is on your mind,anyway?"replied Rosie.Continuing she said,"Hurry up!!!,tell me directly and do not keep me guessing?"."Well,the smaller ones I cut them into stools for us to sit around during barbecue in the open and the bigger ones I would like to do some sculpturing with my extra time",said Teddy.

"What? you sculpturing?Have I heard wrongly.You really are full of surprises,you know.May I know what you intend to carve on?"Ah, that the question - the big question.Why don't you give me some time to think about it",replied Teddy.
"Anyway have you any objection should I put up a shed next to my room at my bungalow?",asked Teddy."Butt..... on second thought can I extend a top floor to my bungalow,then I will have more space and privacy for my hobby".

"Aia... ya!, you are the boss here,small thing like that you don't have to bother me,just do it,and show me what other talents you possess",replied Rosie. That was good for Teddy,for he had in mind what he to do already,now to put what he harbored into reality.An elated Teddy then drove his boss and family to other parts of the farm.

The children apparently were enjoying that trip round the farm and Teddy was kept busy answering every curious questions they asked.Soon they were at the pameloes patch where some workers were wrapping small fruit lets with old newspaper.Teddy stopped to see how they were doing and Rosie,her friends and family followed him.

As Teddy and company went ahead of some workers one of them shouted,Boss,don't go near there,... ....there is a green viper on that tree".Teddy looked carefully and saw the viper he then pointed it to Rosie and family."Wah? it is surely a very long viper about three to four feet long and almost camouflaged by the green color of the plant",said Rosie.

"Get rid of it'",says Rosie."No.no let it be it is not disturbing us or the workers.Besides it is doing no harm.It is trying to catch some insects or frogs for food and it will leave soon",said Teddy."But the workers cannot worked here while it is around?',said Rosie."Oh that is simple as it can easily be frightened or chased away",replied Teddy.

The workers had harvested some ripe pameloes and Teddy immediately requested them to send them to the bungalow later.It was almost time for tea,without hesitation drove back to the bungalow.Before that he took them to the place where chickens were fed.The wild piglets on hearing their arrivals ran away in all directions screaming aloud,much to the amazement of the children and the others,for they have never seen anything like that in the city.

The wild sow was still in tagged in the small cage,she tried to move aggressively around but the small cage restricted its powerful movements.The kids were too scared to go near to her as she appeared ferocious even in cage.The feeding area had also been closed by the "kapala' Ah Chan and in it were many trapped wild fowls.

As they approached the fenced up area Ah Chan came forward and explained to Teddy that she had trapped the wild chickens for the Boss as instructed earlier.On inspecting the wild birds Teddy told her to make a good selection of them and to release what were not acceptable."Slaughter all of them.We will have curry wild chickens tonight and the remaining the Boss will take them home tomorrow morning", said Teddy to Ah Chan."Yes,sir it be done as you said",replied Ah Chan.

"Oh no,no,don't slaughter them,they are so pretty especially the cockerel.Why don't you breed them in cages",said one of Rosie elder child."No,these birds are wild birds and cannot be bred.Keeping them cages is just the same as killing them as they will crushed themselves against the cages, killing themselves",said Teddy."In fact we are also breeding some which we hatched ourselves but they are never caged but allowed to run around free.They return for feeding regularly,that way we were successful to have some which we can claimed as bred by us.On the whole they are still wild birds",said Teddy.

Having explained to the kids they returned to the bungalow for tea.That evening they had wild chicken curry for dinner after which they again went hunting for flying foxes.However that evening it did not rained.Everything went out smoothly as the night before.That night was a full moon lit night so the sky appeared very clear.Flying foxes could be seen clearly consuming those rambutans.

The guard was handy to shoot them,after which Teddy took over the gun to shot while the guard went all out to retrieve the shot flying foxes.Rosie the Boss again had also a hand in the shooting with Teddy guiding her.This night she improve in her handling of the gun and finally shot something.A total of twenty over flying foxes were shot and collected back,but there remained many not accounted for.

Thereafter they returned to the bungalow and supper was served,all well prepared by the cook.Teddy sent the cook home at the village after supper.AS he was about to retire in his bungalow,he saw someone in his room,slowly he crept to it.At the half ajar door she saw to his surprised Rosie lying on his bed.The elated Teddy slowly went in and laid beside her.That night they had another beautiful night together.

Early next morning everyone woke up early and the Boss was preparing to return to town.Fruits collected were packed by the workers into the Boss's car.Teddy also packed the slaughtered wild chickens and thighs of the wild boar which was stored in an ice box into Rosie's car. What a load,the car was fully loaded.Finding it impossible to load further Teddy suggested he send them to her in his jeep.Rosie agreed and now that she has acquired a small fortune she promised him a brand new and bigger four wheel drive.

Breakfast was served and soon they were on their way.In private Teddy had earlier given Rosie a loving goodbye kiss.Rosie was in a hurry as she had an appointment in town sometime later,so got to rush off.With the Boss gone Teddy went about his normal line of duty,he also set all those logs taken back to his bungalow by the side of his room.A shed was later was erected where he will do some sculpturing after work.When all were running in order he was surprised by a visitor.

A real surprise indeed.His Boss's husband paid him a surprise visit.Along with him came his second wife or mistress whoever she maybe.The man greeted Teddy requesting him to harvest some fruits for him."No need to harvest anymore,as we have plenty left behind by Rosie",said Teddy.

"Okay, have them loaded into my car",said the Boss."Are we not going to stay here for a day or two?",asked his mistress."No"replied the Boss.
'Why?why can't we stay here?",she asked in disgust.
"Because the farm belongs to my wife,and she specifically instructed that I can never bring you here.That why?",said the boss.
"But you brought the farm with your money?",asked the mistress further.
"So what,I gave this away to her to induce her to agree for my taking you,understand,stupid dear", said the angry Boss.
"I don't care I want to stay here",she insisted."I am leaving this minute and you are coming with me immediately",said the Boss and they left in haste.

As soon as they left Teddy received a phone call from Rosie,"Hello are they still there ?",she asked."No,no they have left,in fact they just see the place and left",replied Teddy."next time they are there - chased them out",shouted an angry Rosie."But\..but he is your husband",said Teddy."I don't care just do as I say", she replied and slammed down the phone.Later in the day Teddy send her the load of fruits he had earlier promised to send.

A bit later she called back to apologize to Teddy for slamming the phone."I didn't mean to slam the phone on you,dear",she said.'
"Anyway, I hope to come again next week and you just wait for me,okay?",she said."Yes darling,I will",replied Teddy.

That day he had lunch at his bungalow.The cook came to him and requested half a day off and he agreed as she had worked extremely hard while the Boss was there.But before she left she had prepared the dinner for him,only thing was that he had to heat it up later before dinner.

Ah Chan his "kapala" came in after a bath and intending to go home after seeing Teddy who had requested her presence every day after work.Teddy gave her a list of job for the following morning.He also requested her to get construction contractor as he wanted to extend a second floor at his bungalow.

"What you want to construct a second floor? But what for?",she asked."well",he replied."I want to have a bit of privacy when I do sculpturing during my spare time especially in the evening"."What???I didn't know you are an artist?,so talented?",said Ah Chan.
"Just to do something I have always had in mind,that all",said Teddy.

"What are you going to sculpture?",asked Ah Chan as if disbelieving him.
"Oh,you my dear for example",grabbing her and without any hesitation carried her into his room.Heaven knows what happened after that.Ah Chan cried out lovingly ,"No,no......................................" and fell silence thereafter.
When it was all over Ah Chan left for home.It was very thoughtful of Ah Chan as he put the dinner the cook had prepared into the oven to heat them up before leaving.
"How thoughtful",imagined Teddy,but then what are lovers for beside making love.

While he was eating his dinner his phone suddenly rang.He took his sweet and lazily walked towards the phone."Hello",he called out."Hello,I am Susan",the caller replied.
Oh? yes",asked Teddy."I am on my way to your place,in fact I am arriving at your gate,is it okay with you?",she asked.An amazed Teddy stunned by the surprise said,"Huh?hu...........it is okay.I am alone anyway,please come".

No sooner had he put down the phone Susan was already at his front door step and she honed twice before alighting.Teddy came out immediately to greet her with a big loving hug and kisses.For Teddy - what a hectic day.Three women in day.
Susan brought along quite a lot of good food.But when she saw Teddy's dinner she joined him for the dinner."Your dinner is very nice,curry wild chicken ,steamed fish and fried "kangkong" with "sambai balachan".In fact she ate two plates full of rice.

"We will leave the food I brought for supper,okay?",she asked."Anything you say,my dear",said Teddy.It was surely going to be another long evening for them.Instead of going hunting which he allowed the Asli guard to do it on his own,while he went to bed with Susan talking - talking???.

"What you going to carve?",she asked in astonishment."Oh yes, I want carved you will you be my model when I am ready".
"No,no I won't stripped for you to sculpture,no never",said Susan.
"Oh.no,then I looked for someone else?",said Teddy."No,you can't", holding him tightly as they kissed away lovingly.

Then without warning he stripped Susan naked,lying beside her he was looking deeply at her shapely and gorgeous body."Yes you make a fantastic model",he said."For one you are beautiful,yeah an exotic beauty,well built and has height.Most of all your boobs are massive,I have to use both hands to clutch them fully".Having said that he kissed her and with any hesitation they were fully engaged in making love.
