Chapter 11 Holiday First

Alas,after six long years the whole family finally landed on Malaysian soils.There was a small host of relatives welcoming them back.But first they have to check out and were held back for several hours because they carried quite a lot of materials that required to be taxed

Due the fact that he likes to argue the Customs quationed him the more .The Shorty tried to show off his newly acquired American language speaking in slang.The Malay Custom officers getting agitated asked him,"What the faking hell you talking about?"."you stupid,Hell you do not understand me",in a funny slang.Because of this they checked him properly and that was why the delay.

His wife getting angry shouted at him," you think you very smart,talking o much unnecessary,you dump ass".Many items brought back were rendered useless attracting unnecessaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary extra taxes.

They came back to occupy a terrace house which was rented by the sister-in-law.They took their own time to settle down."First,I think we should take a holiday for at least three months before considering a job".His wife agreed with that idea.

Initially they took a trip back to his home town to meet his relations.They got to show their two lovely daughter to them.It was a happy reunion where they threw out a huge dinner for them.Invited were a host of relatives.Ten tables full of them.Well it was quite a lavish dinner which was paid in full by the relatives.

At the dinner the Shorty told all of his marvelous adventures working as a driver in the States.He boasted about his exploits there and most of all how much he made there."There",he claimed,"all the roads were paved with gold and I easily made five hundred ringgit a day just driving".

The Americans Black or White all scared of Chinese kungku and I usually shout at them to do work.Wah!!!, their trucks so long and large.On day one trip will make you a rich man.I don't have load the trucks have plenty of fork lift to do the job".Well,It was boasting all the way.

"When we leave,the Americans begged us to go back there again,you know.They all very lazy not like us".Of course he did not mentioned that he was already banned from returning t the U.S.

Everyone had expected him to bring them a gift at least,but there were none.He said,"Where can??????,Everything very expensive.actually not that he could not effort but he was damn stingy.The relatives after staging such a lavish dinner for him and his family got nothing i return.

"If we know like that we do not give him such a large dinner give him tea will do.
At least should he had no present for any of us ,should have buy us in return another dinner",said an elder brother."Aaaiya !! as if you do not know how stingy your brother is:,said his wife."Ya..lah shit chicken dung got and nothing else,this brother",said another.

The elder sister took him and family to her farm in the Cameron Highlands where they gathered a large variety of green vegetables,loaded on to their car full without any payments or thank you.But that that was common knowledge they know something he never know.What was more,they even have to served him and family lunch.

Fortunately all the vegetables and chicken slaughtered were from the farm.
"no pace in the car,other wise we packed in some chicken and ducks from the farm",he said."Take whatever you want", his brother said.True enough they took all they could carry back to Kuala Lumpur,only to return the following week end to collect more of the chickens and ducks.

First few weeks were spent wondering around the city he never intended to secure a job locally.Well.it seems the payments were too low for his liking,as he still think of the higher wages he got while in the States.He was still thinking of ways how to return to the States to work although he was already banned from returning.

He never got over boasting about the good time and better wages in the States.Alas,those were good times in the past never to return but he still dreamed on.That reason good enough not to get employed locally.He dreamed on for the manay months to come................doing nothing.

His wife also dreamed of returning to his lover in the States.Initially she had planned to stay back for at least six months then return to the States with her second daughter and most of without the Shorty.In shiort she wanted to leave him but he was reluctant to let her off with a divorce.

She like him rest withourt a job for nearly six months then she decided to temporary secure a job but most were low paying.The only employer wiling to pay her a better salary was her brother-in-law who would welcome him with opened arms.And why not,she was his lover and he was longing for her.However she held back.

Soon it was passed a year without a job and they had spent part of his savings.Money was fast depleting from the savings he had.Of course hers were intact.Before the Shorty could make any bright suggestion she went to work for her brother-in-law who willingly took her in.With her working the Shorty was beginning to feel frustrated without a good paying job in sight.

Her lover flirted with her in the office and their courtship renewed behind her sister,what a great combination.Other suitor also flocked in to be near her.well,only those with money to spent could date her and took her to lavish restaurants for food and romance thereafter.One bachelor driver suited in as he had a lot of money to spare being a bachelor.

There was also another handsome salesman who also took an interest in her.Every time he was in town he would invite her out for lunch.He was madly in love with her and had taken her on trips to Port Dickson during the week ends without the Shorty's knowledge.

With so many lovers at hand her lover in the States was far within her mind.Well there were some good thoughts but that could wait for the time being.When she finally had her mind on him,she found herself pregnant.There were so many suitors to choose from but actually who was the man who made her so???.

Well,your guess is as good as mind,for she herself was doubtful who caused her to be pregnant.Certainly with this ,she could never go back to the States to met her lover there,Doubtful about the father,no worry there was the Shorty to bear the whole responsibility.Yes,the Shorty was very happy about it thinking it was his baby.

When the baby was finally born both hated her very existence.Why??.For her she now who fathered her child and it was the lorry driver a useless bachelor who got a big mouth,she never loved him.A god for nothing boaster and she never like to be a part of his.She had expected it to be her brother-in-law but he was not.

For the Shorty the minute she was born her features were never replica of his,he suspected something a missed. Thee about so many stories rumoured around the work place which he never like to hear regarding his wife and the child.Like it or not this born into the family and he has to support that fact but he never like the poor child.

In the years to come the poor child grew in the midst with parental likings.The father would not carrty her or treat her properly.As she grew bigger she was mistreated by him,often badly caned by him.Her pocket money was nothing more than a few cents nothing more while all the others were paid in ringgit nothing less than five.

The mother would not looked her straight in the eyes.She actually grew up without their love.Mostly was up to the baby sitter to take care of her.Whether she has eaten or not no one cared.,except maybe the grandmother who had similar face feature as her.

Thus she grew up to be one clumsy girl walking roughly like a bull and shouting like a jackass in short she was as naughty as her elder siblings but nopt sexually spoiled like them..
