"Oh sorry!" she exclaimed suddenly.

I jolted back to reality. For a moment I thought I had picked up the wrong person and I started to panic.

"Huh? What happened? You are Maggi, right?"

"Yes, yes." She clarified, "I just feel bad that I am sitting behind. You are not really a Grab driver; I should be sitting in front, next to you."

"Chey! I thought I picked up the wrong passenger," I replied nonchalantly, "For you, you want to sit in front, behind, on top, outside – all also can lah! It’s ok with me one. Anyway, we are rushing to pick your son up. No need to bother about the small stuff; just don’t let the poor boy wait too long, wait he anxious, he may cry." The truth is – I preferred her to sit at the back. That way, she wouldn’t notice the bulge she was causing in my pants. Also, it was easier for me to sneak peeks at her while pretending to check the rear view mirror and blind spots.

"Oh! You seem to know young children very well." She complimented me, "my husband always don’t seem to care or even try to understand."

"But you are correct," I said, trying to be witty, "I am not a Grab driver so there’s no app telling me where you want to go so I will just keep driving straight until you tell me where to pick our little prince." I ended with a weak laugh to show that I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic.

Maggi started chuckling. "Oh yah hor. Silly me." Using both the front seats as support, she pulled herself forward so that she could give me directions. In the process of doing so, she gave me a quick down blouse.

"You just go straight here and then later at the traffic light, you turn left and then left again." She instructed using her hands to emphasize which way I should turn.

I turned slightly to my left and nodded.

Satisfied with my acknowledgement, she slumped back into the back seat.

"Why you send your son to a play school that’s so far away?" I asked, trying to start keep the small talk going.

"It’s very difficult to get places in play schools nowadays. We tried many places; put on waiting list. This was the only place available." She said. "At first, my husband said he will drop our son at play school before he goes to work but then he said the timing a bit out. If this was Ipoh, I would drive him myself!"

"Wow! You drive!" I remarked. "Malaysian girl drivers……"

"Are what? Kayu?" She interrupted me. She sounded offended.

"No… No…" I quickly replied, "in my books they are the most skillful, drive so much better than even Singaporean men drivers."

"Is it?" She asked, probably trying get further affirmation of what I said or to fish for more compliments, "my husband says my driving sucks 'big time' and he would never trust me with his car."

Seeing my chance to score some brownie points, I told her that her husband was a fool.

From the rear view mirror, I could see she was blushing slightly.

As we approached the play school Maggi offered her thanks and told me she would buy me lunch another day.

"But how are you getting home?" I asked.

"I can call for a Grab." She said, "I’ve troubled you enough."

"I’m also need to go home, neighbor." I looked at her and raised my eyebrow.

"Really?"

I nodded.

"Ok, thanks! I will be quick." She quickly got off and darted into the school compound and reappeared with a little boy in tow.

"Never call uncle?" she instructed her son to greet me as she re-entered my car. "Oh and sorry I have to sit at the back to take care of him, if that’s ok with you?"

"Sure!" I replied. Turning my attention to the younger man, I said nicely, "How are you today?" The way to a young mummy's heart is through her previous son.

Her son was a sweet little thing and appeared bashful as I caught him smiling shyly and looking away the moment I turned my head to look at him.

"Eh, cannot like this ah," Maggi coaxed her son, "Mummy never teach you to be so rude one, never greet people."

"It’s ok," I said, "young children are like that one. Not to worry." I said as I slowly drove towards the main road.

"Sorry, he quite shy with strangers," she explained, probably embarrassed that she was unsuccessful in getting her son to greet me.

We didn’t talk much on our way back. I also chose my words selectively as I did want to risk sending the wrong signals to her young, impressionable son. Instead of heading to the multi-storey car park, I turned to the drop off point.

"Thank you so much," she said gratefully as she alighted from my car.

"Say 'bye bye' to uncle then we go home mum mum." she instructed her son as she carried him off the back seat. The little boy clung on to his mother, pulling down the strap of her sundress in the process as he tried to maintain balance while turning around to waved his little hand at me.

I nodded and smiled (forgetting that I was still masked up) as I waved good-bye to her and her son. What have I just done? Feeling like a used tool, I slowly made my way to the nearest food court, my stomach was growling as if to mock at me for volunteering to fetch another man’s wife and son from play school.

As I turned into the main road, I realized that I didn’t know where to go or what to eat and I started driving aimlessly.

Well done Serfly! This is exactly what a man thinking with his small head would do!

Re: The Lonely Housewife - Phase 2 Re-opening Adventures
 

I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket.

There’s nothing more irritating than to have your phone buzzing in your pocket when you are driving. Feeling more frustrated than I originally was, I groaned to myself and cursed beneath my breath before stopping by the side of the road to take the phone out of my pants pocket.

"Hey!" The message read, "Sorry to treat you like a driver today but I really wanted to quickly bring my son home. You know young kids; if they don’t see their parents, they will get upset and start crying. And once he starts crying, very hard to stop him."

I smiled stupidly at the message. Probably my small head 'thinking' again.

"Are you working from home today? Later you come over to my place? I baked some cup cakes; bring home so you can eat them during tea break?"

In my heart I was thinking I preferred to eat her for tea break. I am sure most of the brothers here would agree with me.

Turning off the hazard lights, I drove towards the nearest mall – first lunch to feed my hungry stomach, then off to the supermarket to grab a bottle of red wine. Should I get flowers? Is this a bit too much? My day had turned for the better. Months of texting and playing the nice, friendly, approachable neighbor had finally paid off.

I remember my Chinese friends teaching me it's not good to go visiting people empty-handed.
