Chapter 4 The Trip To The States

With the ending of all those ceremonies the newly married couple went up to the hill of Cameron Highlands for a honey moon.There was no luxurious hotel to encounter with but instead they spent their honey moon at her brother's farm house.

The farm house located at a vegetable farm.An extremely seine environment surronded by huge vegetable plots on all sides.They had the farm's dog for company.The brother at times stayed overnight there but most of the time he resided in the small town a little down the road.He and wife plus some workers will normally go there to harvest vegetables for the market early in the morning,

It was an extremely quite place for Shorty and his new wife,besides there was no expensive hotel bills to pay.Food and vegetables were a plenty and very fresh,Chickens and ducks were also available on the spot,most important those were free..It was certainly a good change for city dwellers but for how long?That the ultimate question.

For the first three days there were no problems as they enjoyed the fresh air and the rising sun but as days drifted by days became a longer and monotonous. for his new wife.She began to feel bored.Bored because they have to eat all greens most of the time
also the Shorty refused to eat in restaurant but only at "makmak' stalls where food is cheap.

Seeing his wife sad Shorty suggested they take trip to Penang and maybe also to Langkawi."can,it is alright but no eating at "makmak"stalls,then I go with you"."like that, got to spent a lot of money -no money lah",he replied."Then forget it",she replied.
"like that,huh?,then I think we go",wanting to make his wife happy.

So in a borrowed car they took the trip to Penang.In Penang he wanted to lodge at those cheap,cheap hotels in town but his wife refused to come down from the car."we are on honey moon and you want to stay in these cheap hotels,better drive me home",she retorted.

"Okay,lah! we go for a hotel by the sea side"and so they stayed at a sea side hotel and it cost him more than two hundred ringgit per night.Poor Shorty Chong had never spent so much for room before,this really gave him a big head ache.

Before long the date due for flying to the U>S>arrived and both boarded the plane for it.No,they never took the Malaysian Airways but the Qantas.They had anticipated a long flight so our dear friend Shorty brought along many beards and cakes."Aaya! all these can be brought in the plane?why you buy so much",he wife asked.

"In the plane very expensive,I was told.Can save better save,you know?',he replied.Seeing he so pumpkin his wife shut her gap and allowed it be.
After a distance flying his wife felt neasauting and vomited slightly.When he asked her why?.She said it was flying sickness.Should be okay should she rest a little.

Was she having flying sickness????.No,never,she was vomiting because she suspected herself to be pregnant.Cannot be I only slept with for about a month ago only.Baby could not be his.Yes,with her that pregnancy belonged to either her Boss or that no good dirty mouth Tan.

Whatever it was,she has to concealed it from Shorty Chong and pretending that to be flying sickness was the best option out.Maybe she though only after another half month I will notify him until then forget it.

Twelve hours passed and they were only half way there only,that was in Paris and the stopover was for two hours and his wife anxious to have a look at Paris but he ignored her plea such a stingy man.He refused because going a short round will be too costly,so they remained at the air port breathing the Paris air from there.

While she was alone sitting there waiting and he being away shortly a gentleman approached her,"Hi! sweetie,Chinese Baby,how about me taking you for a walk?",he asked.She smile back broadly at him.That man walked towards her and leaned forward to hold her hands.Shorty returned suddenly,asking what the man wanted?.

That man then retreated and walked away."All this white man very "ham sup"",he said as he walked towards her."No lah,you mistaken,he was asking where we are going,that was all.where got "ham sup".""You are worst off than him:.,she replied.

In the plane another incident happened while she was going to the wash room a dark complexion man rubbed her backside as she passed her seat.Amazed she placed her eyes on him."I am a sorry",said the man,"but you backside is so beautiful and big",he continued.She loved that for she replied,"Do it again,it was an accident".

Along the way she went to the wash room again with Shorty fast asleep.AS she came out of the room that dark complexion handsome held her tightly and kissed her passionately.They kissed for some lovely moments and then he let her off to return to her seat.

Poor thing that romance was short lived as that man had to leave at the next stop
for he had to board another plane on transit back to Timbakto.Before he left he left a love note for her with his next address requesting her to reply him in due course.Now did she response to his plea.Yes,she did.

The next stop was Hawaii,how wonderful.Alas they have arrived at a paradise.She was too eager to have a look at it.
