Chapter Two (Page Three)

However, Rita chooses to use the ignorance of those influences by such western conservative ideology to her advantage, she knows for a fact that as a result of the nineteen century colonial culture and western conservative ideology, is that western conservative ideology believe for the west to be the parent and the none west to be the child and as a result, some westerner have a tendency of believing that all none western country to be sexist and any equality between men and women in the none western world come into existence due to westernization, despite the fact it is not true and western countries use to be sexist too, where women weren’t allow to go to university or to become a doctor. Rita also know for a fact that Australia conservative culture has the tendency of believing that a women is supposed to be a weak, helpless and innocent victim and those who fit the stereotype are real women, while those who doesn’t fit the stereotype are less as a woman, she also know that western conservative ideology’s stereotypical believe about Asia and about women, might be able to lead to some white guy having sexual fantasy about rescuing an Asian woman from her family forcing her into an unwanted arrange marriage or from an abusive relationship, from her husband and Rita intend to use these knowledge she got, in regards to western conservative culture to her advantage, to enchant a white guy and turn him into her lap dog/puppet. Rita knows such technique would never work on white person who lived in an Eastern country, because they know way too much about the Eastern world, but considering the fact Jeff never been to Asia and is a firm conservative that love the motto of “Return to the good old fashion conservative values.” And consider how naïve and innocent Jeff is, Rita believes such enchantment would be easy to apply to Jeff and such enchantment plays a big role, in how she is able to manipulate Jeff right now.

Rita used Jeff’s firm believe in the motto of “Return to the good old fashion conservative value.” to justify her action to her family in China, who are 100% against what Rita is doing to Jeff. Rita’s excuse to her family in China is “Western conservative values, equals the stolen generation in Australia. So, if Jeff would say Good old fashion conservative value, then, he is racist that support the inhuman action taken against the stolen generation.” And Rita makes sure her family knows what the stolen generation in Australia is all about, even so her family still disapprove what Rita is doing and has chosen rather not come to Australia, at the cost of their daughter breaking up some naïve old man’s marriage. To a certain extend Rita, do believe that Jeff is a man who support the Stolen Generation policy, because he is a firm believer in western conservative value, so she got no problem taking Jeff for all he got.

“Rita is a very delicate girl, she is shy and innocent, and she needs to be protected.” Jeff said to Nichole, he and Nichole were still standing at the door way of the mansion.

“Yeah and at the cost of mum’s death.” Nichole said she felt like throwing up.

“Any way, that is enough about me. How are things with you and your husband?” Jeff asked

“Sam is starting up his business. He is opening up his own new restaurant. I think the money you gave him, really help. But I don’t think he would succeed.” Nichole said

“I don’t know, what are you, still doing with that looser.” Jeff said

“Well, I don’t know what you are still doing with that slut…opps, I mean the Virgin Mary.” Nichole said sarcastically.

“Look, Rita really is a lovely girl. She is sweet, innocent and delicate. I just want to protect her. She got nobody in this country, you know? You would really like her, once you get to know her.” Jeff said

“Yeah, in the same time, mum is six feet under.” Nichole said, she sighs “Look Dad, I got to run, I’ll see you around, ok?” Nichole said

“Alright, sweet heart” Jeff said.

Nichole turned around and started walking away from Jeff’s house.

Jeff watched his daughter walk down the drive way, for a few seconds and then he went to join Rita in the kitchen.

Outside the house, Nichole walked into the front passenger seat of the car that Michael was sitting in.

“How is the conversation, with your Dad?” Michael asked

“Don’t ask me that, that man is dead to me, my father is dead.” Nichole said.

Michael drove the car away.

The car is forty-year-old Toyota, it is still in great shape, but its appearance still shows its age.

The car’s radio, was playing Shannon Noll’s song.

“I love this guy, he is so cool.” Nichole said, she started singing along with the radio.

“So, how long are you going to stay, with that looser?” Michael asked, Michael knows all about Sam.

“Until, my dad got a heart attack, after losing his temper.” Nichole said. “I am not going to let that gold digger get a single cent, you know, that right?” Nichole said

“I know.” Michael replied

“I haven’t thought of how yet, but I and my brothers would think of something.” Nichole said

“Well, the first thing you have to do, is to find a way, to get that house out of Rita’s name and that is going to be tough, she is a cleaver woman, she won’t be trick that easily.” Michael said

“I know” Nichole replied.

A minute later, Nichole’s mobile phone rang, Nichole looked at it, it was Sam. Nichole turned down the volume of the radio, so she could hear Sam over the phone.

“Oh, hi baby. How are you doing?” Nichole said to Sam, over the phone

“I am coming back on Sunday, is there anything you want me to get for you?” Sam asked

“Oh, can you get me one of those…what do you call it?” Nichole tried to think of something to get Sam to bring, but couldn’t think of anything, she started tapping on Michael and lip talk to him, telling Michael to help her think of something that is a pain in the butt to get.

“That thing, you saw on the internet the other day. That will take him a whole afternoon.” Michael whispered into Nichole’s ear, when they finally reached a red light.

“You know that thing I saw on the internet on Wednesday?” Nichole said

“What thing?” Sam asked

“What is the matter with you? You never pay attention to, anything I am interest in.” Nichole said

This got Sam worried “Alright, alright, it is those shoes, right? Those red high heels, right? I’ll find a pair for you.” Sam quickly said

Michael couldn’t help laughing.

“Yap those.” Nichole said

“Alright, I’ll find a pair. I promise.” Sam said

Michael was laughing hard.

“What is that noise?” Sam asked, Sam doesn’t know about Michael

“Oh nothing, I am just watching sitcom, on TV right now. Well, love you, bye.” Nichole said

“Bye.” Sam replied

Nichole turned off her cell phone and put it into her pocket.

“That pair of shoes will take him, at least an entire day to find.” Michael said

“That is the whole idea.” Nichole smiled.

Then Nichole and Michael kissed each other on the lips.
