"Here you go, come on." He finally went upstairs. I just followed him.
"Old man, they're just playing us." I smiled and followed him to the top of the two-story condo. "You always come back here to Hong Kong?"
"No, I have a unit at Mid Level, I'm back tomorrow afternoon, Mama told me to come here." We arrived at a door. "Come in."
I went into a room with a predominance of brown and gray, according to the overall color of this house. I sat on the sofa, the spacious room had a sofa that was relieved. I sat there and took my phone, no I won't tease Brother Cheng.
He sat beside me a little far away.
"You're going back to Shanghai?"
"Hmm, next week. I have something to do in Hong Kong." Shut up again, I was looking for a bustle with a cell phone in my hand, not caring about it. He was quiet too.
"Sorry, my mama is too much."
"Yes, it's okay. You want to play a game maybe? Let's just say I don't exist."
I just got a quick look at him. Then on the phone again. Brother Cheng tried I wasn't involved with him apparently.
Yeah, I get it, just being told to sit in the room. Not a problem for me. It's embarrassing to say something like yesterday. It feels like being pushed back now.
"Or put it this way, you're distracted I'm here, I'm pretending to be dizzy and have to go home fast." I got upset, and walked over to open the door. He held my hand.
"I don't mean that? Don't be angry, sit down again..."
"I'm bothering you, aren't I? I just go home? I can make excuses to Uncle and Aunt." I took off his hand and reached for the door handle.
"You're not bothering me, I just feel like Mama's going too far to put you here like that. You misunderstood what I meant." He closed the door by slipping himself between me and the door. Makes me unable to go further. This overly polite Koko is pissing me off right now.
But since I needed his support I was forced to retreat and sit down again to the sofa again without speaking.
Sometimes he's nice, sometimes he sucks. Does he think I'm gonna go after him and set a trap for him.
"Koko, I'm not going after you. You don't worry, plus I won't set a trap for you." I spoke to him bluntly.
"I don't think you're gonna set a trap." He laughed and sat next to me.
"Good." I don't want to talk to him. "Then I'll just sit here and not bother you."
He was silent to see me.
"Would you like to hear a story?"
"What story?"
"The name of my ex-wife Kara Hui, daughter of Edison Hui, we were introduced by our parents, when I got married 6 years ago she was about 26 years old, quite mature in age..."
Suddenly he told me about his wife. Makes me look at him.
"We dated pretty short, only 1 year old, she's beautiful, I easily liked her, sweet, a little spoiled I thought at first, I don't mind I thought it was normal. Then we got married and people said when you got married you were just starting to know what the real nature was, ..and I finally found out the truth. I started working in Shanghai and we stayed in Shanghai. He was jealous of the assistant who already had 2 children, he often came to the office for no reason, sometimes scolded my assistant for calling and sending me messages often, yes obviously he sent me a message, he updated what I needed to know, he's a deft assistant who has worked with me for 4 years, until finally my assistant resigned to ask for another position, at the beginning of our dispute in the 6th month we got married, he did not stop there, I according to him changed assistant, but equally he was jealous of other assistants, too, finally, it's only been a month that I've had to change assistant to a man."
I just stare at him telling a story.
"Then he sometimes asked for a vacation when I was busy meeting schedules, asking for food with him dinner, shopping, petty requests that gave me a headache when I heard it when I was working. Go to Hong Kong without telling me or anywhere she never leaves a message. Because he thinks I'm cheating, for God's sake I work, .. I explain many times, I have to meet who, I open all my schedules he even thinks I set it up with my assistant. I really don't understand how she became insecure so."
"You didn't know he had that trait."
"No, when dating she was never so absurd, maybe because she was advised by her mother, still close to her mother."
"Then?"
"From the time my assistant came out we fought a lot, until later because I was overtime he decided to deliberately show him cheating because he thought I was cheating while I was working."
"A very dramatic story. ... Maybe he was betrayed."
"Either any explanation could not appease him any more. Until the point I gave up explaining to him. I even then tried to use a third person eventually, going to marriage counseling, but then that was the bright spot, in a private session of marriage psychologists who handled us telling me my wife was diagnosed with OCD. I've seen him hysterical during our quarrel. All irrational actions are finally known why. My wife's family has never opened this before or frankly their daughter has an abnormality."

"I'm trying, I'm still trying because I think maybe we can deal with it, but things don't get any better even with professional help, I can't keep it going when he decides to move away, psychologists say this will be a recurring episode in our lives. I can't imagine what if we had our son face this. I talked to the family and finally, Mama herself suggested we better split up...And until the story ended, I immediately spoke to my parents, his parents, and said I could no longer afford our relationship. I'm willing to give her a monthly allowance for 5 years and finish us getting divorced, because each of us is already at the point of distrusting each other."
There is also a story like this.
"I'm so sorry to hear that."
"I guess then I was traumatized by the way I felt the nature of women. It all just doesn't make sense, a good relationship changes because I'm jealous even though I know it's because she has OCD."
"After I got divorced and it calmed down, I started to regret it, maybe if I knew from the beginning, we would be more able to deal with this. Maybe from the beginning I will not ignore it and instead scold him for feeling his worries made up. But when I found out things were getting worse, trust was gone, trying to hit a dead end."
"Her mother said maybe her daughter would have a hard time adapting to married life, maybe her OCD was triggered because we moved to Shanghai too, a new environment, a new life suddenly came to her. So finally we parted with the family's approval, I think he's much more stable now. Our marriage didn't even last two years."
Each family has their own story.
"It's better not to."
"Don't you think that's good? I once felt like a failure, at one point I felt that maybe ignoring it at the beginning was not explaining it properly, when we were fine, I was wrong from the beginning. Like I said, if I'd known at first he had OCD."
"If he looks happier now, well maybe it's better for him. The capacity of a person to face pressure and adapt is different. You'd better split up, if she were to be Mom the pressure she'd get would increase and maybe you'd sacrifice your child's mental health and yourself."
Now he sits down.
"Yes, his mother and my mother agreed because of that too. Only I never thought the situation would turn around 180° so quickly."
I smiled, it seemed that on the other hand he loved the girl. Maybe he's afraid I'm one of the psychopaths and OCD's too.
"Why are you smiling?"
"No."
"Tell me what's on your mind."
"You think I'm a psychopath." She laughs.
"I think you have talent." It was my turn to laugh.
"You're cruel, I kindly love to donate like you say psychopath."
"Psychopaths know how to make their opponents feel guilty."
"Well, you're right I'm a psychopath."
"Unfortunately I don't think there's a psychopath who voluntarily admits to being a psychopath." It turned out that he could still think straight as well.
"Why are you telling me."
"You've told me a lot about yourself, maybe I need to tell you a little bit about myself.
"Did no one come after you?"
"Many try."
"Then?"
"I think I'm still a little traumatized by a marriage that's suddenly deteriorating. There has been no serious relationship in recent years. Mama also seemed to feel guilty introducing me to the wrong person. So he never tried until now."
"Koko has no obligations. Our parents might have hoped, maybe yesterday I told you I was willing to accept the terms, but it turns out you didn't want such a condition, I'm very grateful for that."
"Do you want it?" Suddenly the question made me answer. He looked at me in such a way. "You said you liked me."
"It's just working on a deal. Let's just say I never said it. I have a lot of people chasing me anyway." I answered her with a laugh and avoided not seeing her eyes when I said that. Losing my courage. If I said I liked it, it would be awkward. He's in Shanghai anyway I'll be in Hong Kong. How we will meet, why do I expect it.
I like him, his clever way of speaking, how he sometimes looks mysterious makes me guess what's on his mind.
Dead-end talk, we dwell with each other's thoughts.
"I know Philip, I'll help you talk to him."
"Sister-in-law is working on it. I'm waiting too. Thank you for helping."
"I'll be back in Hong Kong soon. The Shanghai branch is already operating well, I have found someone who can supervise there, Papa wants me at the Hong Kong headquarters to help him. Maybe we'll see each other often."
"Ohh, that,..." What does it mean to say something like that. Maybe we can meet often?
"Maybe later I can pay the debt of the bouquet of interest."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not saying no to our relationship, but I don't think we can get to know each other if we live far apart, contact is rare. That's why I said I can't decide in 7 days. I told you that at the beginning."
"Hmmm..." I don't want to smile.
"You look happy." He also smelled his smile.
"Stop teasing me." I hit her arm and pushed her. "I hate you."
"Well, people say if a woman says A means the opposite..." And he held my hand and laughed now. I'd rather pinch him if I can't hit him.
"Take my hand off. You're so happy to prank people?!"
"Don't be rude to me. Remember I'm the owner of 8% shares plus a mininal I've brought the other 15." He was still laughing because I couldn't let go of his hand.
"I don't care. I'm gonna put you in Auntie." He pulled my hand back and locked my hand by holding me.
"Be quiet, I'll kiss you if you're still fighting." Our faces were too close I could feel his breathing now.
Threatened me to something like that.
I kissed her right away. Now he's the one who's shocked, the handle is off, I lock his nape and I tilt my head.
"Don't threaten me, dear Koko." I took off my victorious smile to Brother Cheng who was now stunned looking at me. "You're right, you don't know me very well."
I smiled with satisfaction at him. Go back to my own seat and get away from him and act like nothing happened.
I looked at him. "It was just a kiss. Don't think about it too much." My smile is wider.
