Chapter 19 The Farm Up For Sales

Rosie somehow learned that Teddy was already married to the versatile Susan one of her best friend,that really maddened her.So furious was her that she rushed to the farm that evening.When ever smiling Teddy meet her at the bungalow,hell broke lose her losing her temper and begin yielding at Teddy.Fortunately all the workers had left.

Teddy tried to specify her but to no avail,she never allowed Teddy to speak up it was only her talking all the time.At one stage she threatened to sell the farm.Seeing there was nothing he can do he turned around, started walking calmly away without looking back.Tears filled his eyes and over flowing over his face flooding them and dripping just like fast flowing streams uncontrollable over his face because he was very extremely sad and lost.With bowed head he walked and walked ahead ,straight ahead..

Seeing that Rosie stopped talking and shouted at him to stop, but as if he has turned deaf, walked on and on.Immediately Rosie took the jeep and gave chased.She stopped in front of him but he still wanted to be left alone and walked on.She hastily grabbed hold strongly to his hands pulling him to a stop.She then shoved him heavily onto the jeep and drove ahead with him to a lonely spot by the stream, almost at the end of the farm.

There she stopped and jumped down , pulling Teddy out as well off the jeep.There she held Teddy real tight and kissed him furiously and he responded to her advances.They kissed and kissed until they fell onto the ground among the rocks by the side of the stream.Darkness of the night had set in and no one were around except the sounds of crickets and other insects in the surrounding.

There in that quiet darkness she yanked off Teddy's pants,then she sat on top of him,pressing and pushing hard and then shook violently.Teddy clutching her busts pressing really hard.In pain she tried to push those hands off but in vain,so thrilled was she that she just let go all she had.Yes,they were engaged sexually.It was a very steamy affair with both sweating profusely as they went on and on.

Then the sky turned cloudy but there no wind blowing at that time.In that pitch darkness they had made love after which exhausted the Teddy whispered into Rosie's ear,"I really love you,darling and I cannot let you go.Please do not go away from me,please",kissing her again and again.Rosie replied,"I will not let you go either,only I was angry you married Susan without my knowledge".

"Yes,I maybe married to Susan but my heart still with you,I need you and love you very much,please stay by me,don't go away"."Will you still see me now that you are married to her?",asked Rosie."Surely I will,I can never forget you",said Teddy.
"You want me to remain your mistress all the time?",asked Rosie."No,definitely no",he replied."You want me to be your mistress forever?",asked Rosie."Why not?As long as we are happy why not?.But should you insist I will marry you and love you forever,Rosie",claimed Teddy.

"I think we better not argue any more- let every thing be,we will know as we progress in life. The future will tell whether you truly loved me?"said the elated Rosie."Are you going to sell this farm?',asked Teddy."On no ,why should I? I love this farm and you.In fact I am thinking of buying an Oil Palm plantation along the same road but slightly further down.It is about 500 acres,why don't you take a look at it when free?",asked Rosie.

"I will request the broker to take you there to-day or tomorrow the latest",she asked."Alright I will be ready for him",replied Teddy.They continued kissing and made love until quite late at the spot.By then there was already a strong wind blowing and more dark clouds gathering in the sky.Fearing rain would pour down they left in a haste but it was just in time to be in the jeep that it started pouring heavily.

His Boss Rosie was ten years his senior yet he was madly in loved with her.Rosie was not only fabulously wealthy but has got a kind heart and a very loving soul.She had fallen in love with him the moment he was employed by her.His good looks couple with an ever smiling face and a good sense of humor won over her heart.She could not marry her much earlier because she was married.Now that she was divorced the matter is still opened,but he had also married one of her best friend,Susan,another woman a few years older than him.Fancy he had so much infatuation for older ladies.

Both were slightly wet when they arrived at the bungalow.The rain still continue to pour down heavily with stronger storm.The alert Teddy quickly got towels for gorgeous Rosie and himself for drying up the rain of their bodies.Elegantly Rosie went in and had a bathe.Teddy went on to prepare some hot coffee for both of them.He also heated up food brought in by Rosie.By now he knew Rosie never meant to quarrel with him but only aired some of her anger with him that was all.

Whatever it was they continued to spent the night together.They were still in bed when the workers reported in for work.He got up immediately after giving Rosie a peck on the cheek he left for his bungalow.The cook was already preparing his breakfast.As he was shaving Ah Chan his "kapala" came into his room and hugged him aggressively from behind."Not now",he said," the Boss is here,I got to met her real fast because she is a arranging for me to see an Oil Palm plantation further down the road.It is for sale,maybe we will buy it",he told her.

"That is nice,more work for you and better pay,eh?",asked Ah Chan."Yeah,maybe maybe",he replied.Then she left for the farm.Following he had his breakfast.On finishing told the cook to go to the bungalow to prepare the Boss's breakfast.
"What to prepare for her?",asked the cook."Wild chicken porridge will be fine", said Teddy."Give her a glass of fresh milk and Orange juice as well".

Further Teddy went into the farm to access if any damages to the farm because of the storm.Not much of damages accept a fallen tree from the adjacent jungle reserve.The Guards caught three pythons.The lost was two chickens swallowed by a huge python which as also captured together with two smaller ones.Teddy had a good look at the big python, it was big and he took measurement of it.It was about fifteen feet long.The buyer was called to collect them immediately.

With that done Teddy went on to the bungalow but Rosie was still in bed sleeping soundly.Her breakfast was ready on the dinning table.Seeing it very nice and tasty he asked the cook to serve him a bowl."Very nice how nice in a cool cool morning",he said as he ate the porridge.

On completing he went into Rosie's room to wake her but she was already awoken and just stretching herself in the bed elegantly puffing a cigarette.When Teddy lay out on her, she blew smoke into his face.The sudden gust of smoke made him cough slightly."Aiya don't do that",squeezed in kissing her lips.She responded and they were locked to each other for some time.

Pushing him away she woke up to clean herself.While she bathe Teddy laid on in her bed continue smoking her cigarette enjoying it until she came out with only towel strap over her.Teddy without hesitation pulled her down and threw away her towel to further kiss her all over,just like a pair of young lovers.

They had breakfast, with her in a hurry to go back home and also office.Before she went she called the broker who was waiting for her call.So arrangement was made for Teddy to see that Oil Palm Plantation later that day."Call me immediately as soon as you have seen the Oil Palm Plantation,okay?".she said.

An hour or so later a cocky broke came in luxurious automobile.Sporting a pair of dark glasses he came down from his car to meet Teddy."Are we going in your car?",he asked."No,no,better in yours,mine cannot go into that plantation.Rosie told me you have a new jeep,I think it be better to go in yours",he replied.

So they drove some twenty miles before arriving at that plantation.As they went round the plantation some harvesters were seen harvesting some young palms.As they went further there was some older palms where harvesting ought to be with poles.Those palms were slightly more than twenty feet high.They meet the harvesting contractor of that plantation.

Teddy asked the contractor many questions regarding the harvesting cost,the number of tonnages he got every month or so and also the number of workers he has.The broker did not stop him from asking any questions.In any case he had a list of the accounts for him to review.Teddy flipped over those pages to confirm his findings.
Whatever he saw he did not review them to the broker even when he asked for his comment.

On the whole the plantation was undulating, well maintained and the field condition was exceptionally clean which was anticipated as the plantation was to be sold.Their manuring program seem okay as per list in program.The fruiting on the palms seem alright and the pruning of fronds was up to date.The broker was very impatient trying to give a better picture of the plantation but Teddy just listen to him quietly without talking back.

Teddy did not give the broker a positive result of his views as he left him.Well his duties was to report to his Boss Rosie only so will report to her only.It was already afternoon when he called Rosie to give a vivid description of the plantation.She was very pleased with the report and gave Teddy a positive answer that she was firm in purchasing that property.More details were to follow later on.

"I miss you,baby",said Teddy at the end of the report,"when can I see you again?".he asked."I will see you next at this week end.My friends would also be there.Hopefully by then we have finalized all details and purchased that plantation",she said in reply.Then she hang up.

His "kapala" overheard the conversation asked him,"Who are you going to put in charge of that plantation?"."No one,if I want some body can you go there?",she replied."Can,no problem",she said."No,no women very difficult because all the harvesters were foreigner males therefore not practical for you"."I will put up an advertisement for the employment of one male conductor",said Teddy.

"I think I can recommend my brother to you.He is young,hardworking and trustworthy I assure you",said Ah Chan."Never mind,I put up an advertisement and you asked your brother to submit his application as well.You see not that I do not trust you I have to show Rosie too,it is very much up to her.Anyway I will help to speak a few good words to convince her for you".said Teddy."Then,it will be fine, thank you",said Ah Chan."See what are friends for?",said Teddy charmingly,grabbing hold of her, planting a loving kiss on her inviting lips.

"Not now,the cook and other workers are still around",said Ah Chan pushing him away.She rushed out as he patted her back heavily.With that done he rushed over to his own orchard where Susan had already waiting at the bungalow and was preparing tea for him.
At his own office he was briefed about the orchard by Ah Fong ,and he took a quick round of the orchard with her instructing her what to do along the way.She had a rough time writing what was required of her to do,but she managed to follow,good for her.

His adorable wife Susan had tea ready for him.She had come in with her babies.Accompanying the twins was the maid.He gave Susan a good kiss on her desirable lips then enjoyed his tea.Susan proved to be very caring wife serving him with lovely food which he liked."I heard Rosie buying a new property,is that correct?,darling?",she asked.He nodded as he sipped his tea."Like that you got more work,eh?",she inquired.

"Not really dear,I am allowed to recruit a conductor to assist me,actually not much work extra as all the palms were matured.Only require a good conductor to supervise the harvesting.Harvesting will be on contract,so we need not have any control over the workers".

"What are you sculpturing nowadays?",Susan asked.
"No one in particular - maybe I do you again",said Teddy moving over to the twins and playing with them."Do I look that fit for that?"asked Susan.Seeing her gracious and adorable smile took hold of her hands and led her into the bedroom. It was lovely to engage themselves sexually again.However she left without staying back for dinner.

She did not stay longer because she was frighten of the mosquitoes which will attack her twins so she was forced to leave.Teddy sent her half the distance as usual.He returned to the farm to continue his other business.The guards went hunting around the farm but he did not joined them as he still had many uncompleted sculpturing to do.

Actually in secret he was sculpturing his gorgeous "kapala Ah Fong" and he was doing it only from his imaginations.There were also the partly completed wood work of a few others.He worked hard that night when he had the inspirations to perform and in fact he worked until he felt asleep on his work,only to be awaken by the sound of workers coming in to work.The cook had though he was in his bedroom.but when Ah Chan went in, his bedroom was untouched.

So slowly she crept up to the studio but by then he had awoken and covering his work.She forcibly pulled away the cloth and her astonishment asked him."Who is this?""No one just doing something from my imaginations",he replied."But it is an excellent piece",she said."Nay,not completed yet",he replied."look like someone I know?",she quipped in."Then good,who is she,tell me.With her in front of me I can do a better sculpture of her",he asked."No,lah,I actually do not know"but in her mind she had focused someone.

That week he had a longer week because of the purchase of the Oil Palm Plantation ,the deal was easily closed and they were supposed to take over almost immediately.
Then coming to the employment of a conductor to take charged of that plantation,Teddy had wanted to advertise for it,but Rosie the Boss said," Why bother,just look for someone we know,interview him then should he be alright,give him the job,that's all,why so troublesome?",said Rosie,"Better to employ a devil we know than some strangers".

"Yeah? Come to think of it I have someone in mind,i arrange him to meet you immediately",so said Teddy.So he called Ah Chan to bring in her brother.Apparently her brother had experienced as a "kapala" somewhere else and he reported in quite fast.

Rosie had a word with him and then asked Teddy to decide.It was simple as he was Ah Chan's brother and so he employed on a three months probationary period.A salary was fixed for him with the Boss approval.His name was Ah Keong about forty-five years old.He was employed with immediate effect.

His duties was to supervise the harvesting and the recording of the crop harvested everyday.He was to see that all FFB harvested be collected by the transport contractor to be sent almost immediately to the Oil Mill.He must report to Teddy his manager almost daily of its progress.The main entrance gate to the plantation must be locked by him daily.It was easy as the harvesting contractor will supply all the harvesters.

The Boss was pleased with the arrangements and she willed it that she visit that plantation every two weeks at least once.The rest she depended on her lover,Teddy.Teddy was getting better remunerations and other allowances.Rosie surely know how to keep her lover happy.

Rosie by now a very re-known wealthy and famous woman.Her wealth surpassed her husband's whom by now was sadly divorced from her.Though single again she had allowed every thing to cool down further although Teddy was ever ready to take her.In any case she was kept busy with her good businesses, further increasing of her wealth.In fact later she brought another bigger Oil Palm plantation almost 5000 acres.So vast was her fortune that she was one of the most powerful woman around.
A woman Teddy cannot neglect or resist,anyway who wouldn't?.

She was extremely happy with her relationship with Teddy with whom she also bore him a pair of children that was after her divorced.Apparently she struck it richer,and her fortune multiplied many folds after giving birth to her first Teddy's child a boy.That was why she loved the child dearly.The second child was also a boy.Both sons bored his sir-name.
Only very much later that he married Rosie with the approval of Susan of course.
Susan and Rosie remained very good friends even as first and second wife but they never lived together,only hard on poor Teddy the roving cowboy.
