Whatever la...

Reading Dina's recent post made me remember this story.

My ex-bf's younger brother was marrying a janda with one child. He found it difficult to accept, so I said,
"Pernah jumpa ke?"
"Pernah"
"Macam mana dia, ok ke?"
"Ok"
"So apa masalahnya?"
"Janda ni susah sikit la. Kita tak tau latar belakang dia."
"Dah tu. Ambik la tau latar belakang dia."
Silent.
"Mak awak ok ke?"
"Ok."
"Kira ok la tu. Alah... kalau budak tu perangai elok, boleh jaga adik awak, apa salahnya. Lagipun adik awak dah suka kan."
"Ye la."
"Bila kendurinya, hantaran berapa?" (I'm doing a personal research on Malay marriages so I was a bit curious on the 'rate' for marrying a divorcee)
"Tahun depan kot. Hantaran 5 ribu."
"Ohhh"
Later on in the same phone conversation, he said, "Susah la nak kawin zaman skrg ni, kalau takde 7 ribu jangan harap la. Macam mana nak dapat yang 'murah' punya" (I knew he was joking)
"Tau!"
"Iye! Macam mana?"
"Kawin la janda anak satu"

I am so bad...
