Chapter Three (Page Two)

“And Hailey is ok with that?” Fatima asked

“Why do you think, I say she is in denial? If I don’t know about, she and Sam’s past, I would have guessed, they are most likely to be one of those gold digger couple.” Chan said

“But they are not.” Fatima said

“I never say anything in definite, not unless I can be 100% sure. But no, I think gold digger couple is very unlikely.” Chan said

“I can’t believe she would put up with that shit. I won’t.” Fatima said

“I think she is in denial. I told her since ages ago, if she goes through with this shit, she would be fucked downgraded from girl friend to mistress. But she is like, ‘No it isn’t, I am here first.’ I asked you to talk to her, but you never did, you’re a shrink, man.” Chan said

“I tried. But it is extremely hard to get her to talk about that sort of stuff, if she is not willing to talk to you about it.” Fatima said

“Well, she told me about it.” Chan said

“That is because she feels comfortable with you and trust you.” Fatima said

“Sometime that is not enough. I notice that Hailey is always wears pink, never anything else. I read from somewhere, the two main types of girls that wear so much pink, are the ones who hate men and the ones who are far too romanticize about love. If that is the case, I think she is somebody that is far too romanticized about love and if that is the case, I bet that is why she is still in a relationship with Sam. Based on what I know, Sam seems to be pretty good at sweeping a girl off her feet.” Chan said.

“It could be possible. The Australia Bureau Statistic did a research into this. The research suggests that there is a good chance over 40% of women in this country been in some form of physical or emotional abusive relationship. Some psychologist a few years ago, suggest what might cause such high rate, might be because, chasing after unrealistic fairytale romance or some firm believe that having a doggy man in their life, is better than having no man.” Fatima said

“Sound kind of like my mum, she believes the concept of finding a girl and settles down, is sooooooooo important.” Chan said

“Is that why you ended up with Emma?” Fatima asked

“Nan man, I don’t give a crap about my mum’s none sense conservative crap, about the important of find a girl and settle down and I won’t let her none sense nagging get to me either, but I am not going to rebel against it either. Whenever she talks about this none sense, I just let her words, go in from my left ear and go out from the right ear. I just go with the flow and this is just where the flow has taken me. You should understand, there is not a formula in life, especially when it comes to conservative value, you are a shrink. Getting married is good for some people, bad for others, depends on who they get married to for other people, for some other people it depends on the circumstances, etc. You are a shrink, you out of all people should understand.” Chan said

“I do, so what about Emma, good choice for you?” Fatima asked

“Bloody hell man, stop trying to shrink me. You are always trying to shrink me.” Chan said

“I am not trying to shrink you. I am asking you as a friend.” Fatima said

“Yeah right, well, I am glad I didn’t ask Hailey out. Can you imagine what will happen if I did?” Chan said

“You’ll be heartbroken now.” Fatima replied

“Worse, I’ll have a wife who screws around with some jerk name Sam, who treats her like crap, behind my back. That is ten times worse than having your heart broken.” Chan said

Fatima and Chan walked into the MacDonald restaurant and looked at the Menu.

“What are you getting?” Chan asked

“I probably get a salad. You?” Fatima said

“Big Mac” Chan replied

“You still don’t trust Hailey, do you?” Fatima asked

“I never fully trust anybody. Sometime, you can be wrong about a person.” Chan said

“You know what I mean.” Fatima said

“She can’t even be honest about the way she looks. I only saw her without make up twice. Look, I honestly don’t know, ok?” Chan said

“Alright” Fatima replied

“Oh yeah, guess who just bought the full first, second and third season of Power Rangers on DVD.” Chan said

“Oh, please don’t tell me” Fatima started

“Yap” Chan laughed

“Yes, I feel really confident with you running the country.” Fatima said

~The following day 25th June Sunday afternoon, Sydney

Hailey drove the car back into the garage of her apartment. She has just been to the Supermarket to buy grocery. On Monday, Sam would be going back to the Gold Coast and Hailey was planning to make Sam’s favor dinner again, tonight. After last time’s failure, Hailey wanted to make the night special for Sam. Hailey turned off the car’s engine, took the grocery out of the boot of the car and started walking up the stairs to get to her apartment.

Hailey opened the apartment door and walked in. There were a few empty beers can, on the living room’s table. The radio was playing a Rock n’ Roll CD on top volume.

“Sam, are you home?” Hailey asked

There was no response. Hailey quickly put the grocery into the kitchen.

“Sam, are you home?” Hailey asked again.

There was still no response.

“Sam?” Hailey called again.

Hailey slowly started to walk to the other rooms of the house to search for Sam. She turned down the volume of the radio.
