Sandwiched (6)

"Darling...don't get angry with me. You know I'm sandwiched in the middle.
And it's also tough on my side.
Please be a lil understanding.
I love you very much....you knew this..right ?", Thau Tua lamented.



"Is that all you can do?
Are you going to just say SORRY and tell me that you've to comply with what the old ladies say ?
Call off the wedding.....Might as well end our marriage as well...you're such useless guy !" shrieked Mary.


I'm sorry, darling...I'm so sorry.' ,Thau Tua kept apologising.


Thau Tua covered his face in shame.


He knew that he could take matters into his own hands and insists to go ahead with the wedding plans. But, he remembered all too clearly that his grandma had suffered sudden heart attacks on several occasions. And he is afraid that if he goes against her wishes, she might react and suffer another blow. This worries him tremendously.

One side of his palm is his family while the other side is his beloved wife.

Dilemma.


"Do you know ....how humiliating and embarrassing for me if this wedding is called off ?
And you're asking me to be patience".


Mary stared at her fiance. Her face flushed with anger heighten by the blood flow gushing up to her head.


"Our wedding is cancelled just because of some silly superstitious beliefs and you're asking me to be more understanding.
Are you out of your mind ?"


"I advise you to remain in your mum's womb..and be a filial son to this stupid Lim's family."

I'll be taking the very first flight back to England tomorrow morning.
Are you coming along?", shouted Mary hysterically.


Suddenly, Mary collapsed onto the floor. She has been too stressed over this wedding issue.

Oh gosh.....Darling..dear...! Someone please call the ambulance.........!!!!!
