Today was a beautiful day. Not because anything out of the ordinary happened, but it was simply a lovely day.
The weather was neither hot, nor rainy, just fresh and cloudy and cooling. I suppose that put everyone in a good mood. Auntie Terrah came over and we chatted together, mum, wei and I went out for dinner and it was really pleasant. No quarrels, no meaningless shouting. I even managed to study and make Toad-in-the-Hole.
Like i said, a beautiful day =)
I'm here to blog about sth less pleasant though. After the 3 of us went out for dinner at mcd, mum drove us to Auntie S's house to return a book. I shouldn't mention the auntie's name, I suppose. I'll call her Auntie Sharon. As I was saying, mum wanted to return a book called "When Love is Tough" by Dr. James Dobson. It was a book for women who had been left by their husbands, I think.
On the way to Auntie Sharon's house, mum told us Auntie's story. The characters in this story are not many : I'll call them Sharon, Andrew and Melisande. *these are not real names*
Once upon a time, Andrew and Sharon fell in deep, blissful love and got married. They had 3 children, whom Sharon loved, I'm sure. After some years, the "deep blissful love" faded. Andrew left Sharon to lead his own life. (I wonder whether he thought about what he was doing to the children at this point?) Sharon's life fell about her in shambles, but after a few years of crying and despair, acceptance and rebuilding, she managed to face life again.
Meanwhile, Andrew fell in love with a young pretty thing called Melisande, which was the reason he left Sharon, his WIFE, btw. Melisande lived in Penang, whereas Sharon was in Selangor. Andrew and Melisande got married, and they had 4 children. Of course, nature and time claim every human, in the end. Andrew became old and sick, so he couldn't work to support Melisande and the children. Melisande had to work hard to ensure there was food on the table. She asked Andrew to do the housework and keep an eye on the children, since he couldn't work.
Andrew definitely did NOT like to do housework. And what does this man do? Instead of trying to help out his family, he leaves everything behind and moves back to Selangor, pleads with Sharon to take him back. (Again, I wonder whether he was thinking of the children at all?) Of course, Sharon accepts him into her home again, old, sick, frail and penniless.
People may ask, why did she take him back after all he'd done? Well. If she had refused to take him in under her roof, he would have nowhere to go and nothing to eat, etc. Of course it would be his own fault, but see. The thing is, no matter how much someone may have wronged us or killed us deep inside, we cannot just abandon them and throw them away, much as they deserve it. How typically female. Or should I say, how typically human? Though I have never heard of a man in Sharon's position, except in the movies. So alright, How Typically Female.
I probably shouldn't judge Andrew for what he is because he probably had his reasons, but I simply cannot help it. Excuse me. You uproot and leave everything behind, wrecking your wife's life and leaving an empty spot in your children's lives, all for another woman. You have CHILDREN with that woman. (By the way, 3 children with S and 4 children with M, kinda shows what a raging sex maniac he is. I'm surprised he doesn't have 20.) Moving on. Instead of trying your best to make up for what you've done and do your best for your 2nd family, you decide that "oh, I do not like to do housework" and move back with your first wife. Again, not caring about the second wife's heartache OR her fatherless children.
In the first wife's house, she earns the money, does the housework, feeds you, clothes you, takes care of you...this is the life!
I have nothing more to say, except that there is no justice in this world for soft-hearted people.
