Chapter 17 The Breakups

Days of bounty good days soon over,followup with lean years,what a sorrowful and cruel thing especially to young lovers.Things suddenly turned sour for these set of people but it was happening almost all at the same period.Lovers do quarrel and easily made up but for them it was breaking up for good with no strings attached with hard feelings all round.

The first to break up was the second daughter Yeng Yeng when she was going to form four,her courtship with her boy friend suddenly took an abrupt ending.She claimed to her friends that she chucked him out but on the other hand many knew that she was discarded and dumped for good by her boy friend.

They were so closely attached when they were in good terms.Kissing every moment they were together,at their school gate in his car,under the Bayan tree near the "makmak"restaurant and in front of their house,to name a few.They were never worried of on lookers watching them.Their love was quite a show piece.

Soon the young man left to work in another town some distance away only then their love turned soured.So they say away from sight away from heart thus ended their affair.Initially there were frequent love phone and SMS messages but later there were slowed down to none.Many believe that she was unfaithful towards him,going out with various of his friends while he was away.Apparently that led to a series of quarrels.

At first he would be back every week ends and then dwindled down to none.His friends were of the opinion that he found some one new, more attractive than this girl friend.
So he dumped her after three long years of courtship.As such he jilted her citing many differences.Her flirtatious behaviors with various people did her no justice.

For her after being jilted and in face saving told her friends many tales,that that her ex-boy friend was useless lover with dirty smelling mouth,talked big with empty head.She too cited many differences beyond descriptions.That was why she dumped him for other better young men.Deep down her heart she knew that boy friend had left her because he had found someone new with more brains and more attractive than her.

There were elements of truth that she flirts quite a lot in the absssssssssssssence of his boy friend.She was never choosy and often went out with any body she fancy as long as they can buy her at least a "teh tarik".Of course taking to Kentucky Fried Chicken would be most welcome by her..

She is a habitual flirt without the slightest doubt like her mother.Time was never a factor to reckon with they can be available at all hours even in the wee,wee hours.Don't believe just call them to find out.As far as I know even strangers or people new to them were never let down.


Her elder sister Cha Cha love affair similarly took a drastic change almost at the same time for she noticed another young man eying her.That young man appeared better looking and held a more secure job in a factory.He was living near to her lover and he was noted to be watching her every move whenever she was there.

In order to be acquainted she had to act fast and she did, for she slowly dislodged her old lover, in wanting to break up with him.But poor man was persistent never willing to yield that easily.Poor man pleaded with her but ti no avail as she was adamant in breaking off.In the final stray she begged her one late morning after a series of pleadings but she was relentless to continue their relationship.Thus it finally broke up for them.

The poor man left and stayed away in the cold,cold wilderness never to be heard again.Three years of serious courtship thus ended just because she fancy someone else,so who jilted who?.Without a doubt she jilted him,poor man bound to die for a stupid bitch.He should be glad she dumped him.

Following a new courtship began.They would meet late late in the nights at the "makmak:restaurant till the break of dawn.From then it was either their homes or the restaurants.One morning her leaving the house was discovered by her paternal grand mother who got her father after her.

Her father the Shorty dragged her home from the restaurant with crying like a baby awakening the entire neighborhood with the new boy friend blinkering stupidly.
Once at home she jumped at the grand mother yelling the top of her voice scolding her.Thereafter ran out of their house again further crying aloud to the restaurant where the boy friend was.What a shameful act?.

The poor grandmother was badly shaken by her yelling took some over dozed of blood pressure tablets, landed in the hospital but she recovered after medications.But when she returned home she was boycotted by the other siblings as well as Cha Cha, All of them totally ignored her and left alone by herself most of the time.Feeling lonesome,in the ultimate end she was forced to leave their home to other residence.

The father was working out station most of the time in his home town at first working partly for hos brothers.Later he brought a pickup of his own and began transporting saw dusts for chicken farms.He would returned weekly to his home but the relationship with his wife was slowly becoming stale.

There were rumours that he was looking for a wife in his home town and there were many suitors.He was on the believe that his wife was unfaithful to him since what happened at the Karaoke.Why not his wife loved him no more finding him ineffective and never pleasant.She wanted someone more caring for her.

There reached a stage where they quarreled bitterly and both sighted divorce.Rumours had it that they were actually divorce but factually no truth whatsoever for there was none.So they do not talked but still came back to live under one roof.

He began spending more days away from home.Staying away led him to gamble in his tiny town where he lost heavy and owned many people money.His transportation as sufficient cover his gambling debts so he demanded the wife to sell their house but she refused.This led to further quarrel.There fore their relationship deteriorated further with no compromise in sight.

Not only that the wife also demanded maintainence fees from him for his children and herself but he could hardly satisfy her.That was why he stayed away from home most of the time.
