Gone Fishin'?

Mama and papa were at London for two weeks and coming back, the hottest news they were enquiring was about MAWI gone fishing with Diana Rafar. Seems like that is the hotter news than the 9th Malaysian Plan, which focused more on Agriculture, which I tot Papa would be much interested rather than the fishing story. .. sigh...

I am not gonna write about how the fan has claimed that Mawi's life is theirs, done bitching about that when I wrote about the two professionalism-and-humanity-gotta-be-brushed Journalist camping outside of Dato' Khalid's house. No.

This is like the biggest story of the weekend, that made me wonder upon again and again whether I should be telling. Any of you readers belong to Malay community and accustomed to Malay traditions and bicara mulut, appreciate your comment very much.

Let's just say that I know someone (BIL) too well and his family too well too. His mom is one figure Mother and loved all the kids to death. Then BIL got engaged to a rich girl after serious period of dating for about 3 years. BIL was working with a company (bumiputra, of course) who seldom pay salary on time and things were difficult for him. But that serious period of dating was really a fun time for him, he came back late every night and spent weekends away from home. He always came back with bags from the Mall with new shirts or pants or just stuffs. Things were kicking in for BIL and the girlfriend until they decided to get engaged. The girl went with the mom and searched for the engagement ring and sent the receipt to BIL's mom. Then they went again to buy baju melayu and kain sepasang and, sent the receipt to BIL's mom. She hinted the dowry shall be more than RM12,000 I think and they started having arguements. I mean for a girlfriend, she can see the he can provide everything. But when it comes to real marriage, she started to see all the flaws in BIL but they carried on with the engagement anyway.

Then they stopped going out. Each phone calls were dry and tensed. BIL was working hard and got a new job but the tense has grown stronger in the relationship. I pitied the girl for being raised in a rich family and feeling afraid being poor.

Now, BIL, abandoned by the fiancee is alone and lonely. BIL's mom cried her heart out seeing the son being hurt. He spent weekends at home. No more calls that can light up his eyes.

Good look he has, we started to see him coming home with expensive gifts and chocolates. There were like one week anniversary gift, one month gift, and cards. We were happy to see him happy until BIL's mom decided that it's time to break the engagement officially. The parents (both his and hers)met and discuss but still leaving the final decision to the kids. Still, the girl was like refusing to let go. I think it's a good thing that BIL started seeing someone new and was looking forward for a day when he brings home the new girl.

Until a few days ago when a friend of mine who worked at the same place of BIL's called me and we had the kind of talk , "Oh ya you happened to know someone that I work with?". And she told me about the new girl BIL was seeing.

She, the new girl was actuall married with a son. People were talking, since they know both are alread tied to other people. People saw them in the car making out, going out for lunch.

What shall I do? Shall I stay out of it and pretend nothing happens?

What would you do if you were me? If BIL's mom is actually your mom? Wouldn't you want to know?
