Gee is busy moving her stuff into her new home. It's been a while living here in the old apartment with her husband's family. It's a great relief since both her childrens are already too grown up to be cramped in this small house; they need more room to run around.
Although her father-in-law strongly opposed them moving out, she hardened her determination, deciding that it's best for her family. Owning the new condo unit is surely one of the best thing to happen now.
Of all the things that are packed in boxes, there is a small one sealed with items that was in her previously locked drawer. To her, they are the most important thing and she dread the thought of losing them, so much that she left it in the old room; deciding to move it last.
It was a normal Sunday afternoon and she decided to go back and collect the rest of her stuff from the old house. She go into her room, expecting to find her stuff lying around... but... but...
THEY'RE GONE!!!
Panic strike! The only thing she could think of is her important documents, her birth cert, her college certificates, her jewelleries, and most importantly; the photos of her babies growing up. The thought of losing them filled her emotions with so much intensity that it is breaking her threshold of sanity. The matter was made worse when someone announced,
"I've thrown them away"
"Away? What away? You promised that you would not help us move, not to mention touch our things!? Why and WHY did you throw my things, MY MOST VALUABLE THINGS!"
She broke down and cried, calling her sister, calling her aunt when she couldn't reach her sister. Before long, almost every one of her close relative knew what happened.
No one could help her, she could only blame her husband, blame her father-in-law, blame herself for not keeping those things closer to her. But wait! What if she could retrieve the items? Maybe she could find it in the dump site, It always worked for Hong Kong drama series. She just have to believe it.
She went and searched in the apartment garbage disposal centre, It's empty.
She called Alam Flora, only to have that guy reply, "Hari Ahad la, u call besok la. la~ la~ la~". The idiot on the line decide to sing instead of helping her. She has lost all hope.
But hope never dies, she decided to look for the cleaning lady, hoping that she would know where the trash goes. She couldn't find her, instead found the maintenance guy who decided to help her search around the place. They went on and on, doors unlocked, stones unearthed when suddenly,
"Why are my clothes in that room?"
It was a utility room and it was filled with her stuff. Apparently the cleaning lady thought she could salvage those items and decided to keep them for further inspection. She found her box in the corner on the room, only to have it opened; and her waist bag gone from it.
What? ONLY a waist bag? Yes, all the other items remain intact, including the jewelleries. Maybe it was because she has a nice personality, as they say, "hou sam yao hou bou" (Good hearted people have good returns).
As for me, I just said, "That cleaning lady damn UNLUCKY!"
