My husband
I met N for lunch. He finally had time for me. I waited four days.
“So how’s your XXX?” N asked.
“Oh, I went for just one leadership class and we are close for the season and will start only next year.” I said.
“Can I come visit?”
“No lar, that is for women only. Why don’t you go back to your one, that one is for both men and women…..walau. you only attended one time and remember, you came back telling me you met my husband…..choiiii…..walau, after you cursed him like that, he is still single now, so poor thing….you anyhow say.”
“hahahahhaha…..” N laughed.
A couple of years back, N went for a bible study session somewhere in town and met some people at that session, one of which he identified as my husband.
“Oii…D….I met your husband the other day.”
“Who?”
“He is well-built, civil servant. You should marry a civil servant. Christian. Attends your church some more. Perfect!”
“Who is that?” I said, annoyed. How can he anyhow pick some random at some bible study session and said that he is my husband? No discernment of any sort. I held my cool but was quite annoyed with N.
“He is good for you. Works for the government, very steady guy. You need someone solid” N said. N went on to peddle the merits of that random to me and that really annoyed me, because he did that just to annoy me.
A random conversation like that would have been forgotten except that I met that Random N mentioned one year later.
“Are you from XXX?” I asked the Random because he kind of fit the profile that N described.
“Are you working for XXX?” I asked.
Random looked a little shocked. “How did you know?”
“Did you attend a bible study session one year ago at XXXX?” I asked.
“HOW DID YOU KNOW?” He asked, almost shouted. I could see him shuddering with fear. Even I shuddered with fear because of the coincidence.
“I am psychic.” I said and grimaced. (walau, you are the guy N said I should marry)
I contemplated whether I should make a marriage proposal to him and help N fulfill his prophecy when I stopped. I should not spoil his life and mine.
I called N that night. “You idiot. I met my husband, that civil servant.” I said. “You anyhow picked some random on the street and said he is my husband.”
“Haaahhhahaaaa……” N laughed for a long while. “Ya, you should marry him.”
“You are an idiot. I don’t want to marry a civil servant. You mad izzit.”
From then on, N called him “my husband.”
And I met “my husband” quite often without prior arrangement. Once at a friend’s place where we were both invited for dinner.
“Oii…I always bump into “my husband”” I said to N.
“Hhahahahhaaa………yalor, you should just marry him. He is your husband.” N said, chuckling away.
“Very funny meh. You are very irritating.” I said, annoyed.

this is very funny!
glad that the entry has entertained you the way the story told so many times over the last two years have made my friends laugh....hope you are feeling better.
hey... thanks! :) i'm feeling much better, NOW... (don't know about the days ahead...)
At least your 'husband' is still single. So got chance, if he is an alpha male by any chance, then....
My 'husband' on the other hand had since become attached. ;)
you got a husband too? tell me the story. I am still waiting for Mr. Darcy.
1. I call him your future husband, not husband. I am careful around tenses and such.
2. I never said he was well built.
3. Hahahahahahahaha isn't the way I laugh, it's somewhere around a "haha" with a :) to denote genuibne and affectionate mirth, instead of a mocking laugh.
4. I think he's pretty suited for you, notwithstanding the other men in your life.
5. Hahahahahahahaha.
6. Hey I always make time for you wor. Just busy these days lah!
NP
1. if you are careful about your tenses, then you should have used callED not call.
2. I can't specifically use the exact words you use. This is a public domain. I have a duty to protect his identity.
3. muaahhhaaaa....is the way i laugh
4. suited for what? I am not pragmatic when it comes to love.
5. u mocking me? *gasp*
6. When did I complain about you not making time for me? Where? Where?
call is the correct use of the tense, since I'm still doing it.
tsk tsk.
NP
why still call? I said no. no respect one you!
