Sub-romance part II
I missed out an important point in the previous post: Yee and my father have a mutual understanding that their relationship, though a long one, is no-string-attached. It would make it easier for you to understand why Yee was so calm.OK, so Hung couldn't wait any longer and decided to launch another attack a couple of days later. She called my father and claimed (with a trembling voice this time)to have received some annonymous calls from a woman who threatened to murder her if she kept contacting her(the caller's) husband.
And Hung strongly suggested to my father that it was Yee who'd threatened her. My father asked her to ignore the calls or, if she really felt intimidated, call the police. Of course she wouldn't follow his advice to call the police. So her last resort was to keep calling my father several times a day to tell how she had been threatened and analysed how great a danger she was in.
My father grew tired of her lies, so to shut her mouth up he said, "It sounds quite impossible that Yee would do such things, and I'm not her husband. My wife is dead. Anyway, I will call Yee in a minute and ask her not to disturb you any more." Instead of making any phone call to Yee, my father was rolling on the floor laughing.
2 days later, Hung, as expected, phoned again. This time she was calling standing at our building gate and asked my father to see her downstairs. Tears rolling down her cheeks the moment she saw my father. She muttered in despair "I can't stay at my home anymore, that woman said she would send someone to slit my throat because you've scolded her and told her not to disturb me. She's very angry and going to avenge. Can I stay with you for the time being until I feel safe again?" She asked sobbing and shaking her head in disbelief.
Noticing a rucksack at her feet, my father immediately became sober and decided to make things clear (because that woman knows our address) "Look, Hung, I think you've got the wrong person. It was not Yee because I haven't scolded her for you, I haven't even talked about you in front of her. How could she blame you for my scolding her? When I said the other day that I will call and ask Yee not to disturb you, it was a lie."
What would you do if you were caught lying (especially such stupid lies) in a situation like this? Well, Hung chose to howl like a bear (an embarrassed one) first and then yelled "YOU P.K. la!!" at my father, and then quickly jumped into a taxi and fled.
