She was feeling depressed and moody of recent. It seems age is catching up to her. Being in her early 40s, she has tried to think positively, she knows she still look OK compared to some of her friends. To start an exercise or even turn exercise into a hobby has been in her mind for years now but she is just too lazy. Excuses such as "oh, just had my hair wash, tomorrow i'll start", "i am so tired, i need a nap, i'll do it when i wake up later", "the weather... its going to rain anytime now (even though she had bought a treadmill can is inside the house)... etc.
Oh well, ... that day for exercise will come..
She's having lunch with her husband at one of their favourite spot. There they always saw that lady there too. Why is it they only notice her and not others you ask yourself? She's chinese ,fair complexion, hair dyed blond in colour, in her early 50s. Her spouse is a indian malay, well to-do but not the good looking type. She caught her husband staring at her as she was walking out of the shop. She felt he was drooling, since they did smiled to each other and he stared at her back from top to heel as she left.
She couldnt get those image out of her mind but she knows well enough to seek clarifications from him now. She wasnt sure how he would respond. Would he be defensive and offensive, would he take it as a joke, or would he just brush the topic aside???.... She knows she has lost the kind of "bond" between both of them of late... maybe they both have changed..
On their way back home, she decide to ask him as tactfully as she knows how.. Well, she wouldnt know his respond till she try, right? she thinks to herself. She chose to ask in a joking manner, teasing him of the way he looks at older women.. Gosh, but that woman has got Style!! .. She may not be a beauty, but she's an eye catcher.. for her Style.
He of course defended and argued gently over it. Saying "nonsense, you're being over sensitive, you're framing me, how could you be so unsure of yourself when you are many times more beautiful than her, younger too ..."
By the end of the conversation, he demaded an apology from her !!! He said she's making him sounds like a dirty old man, accusing him of things he didnt do,... therefore, an apology is essential...
She couldnt believed what she heard!!!!! Of the nerves!!!
