James’ has never liked his brother in law. Upon realising that he will be going to jail for taking videos of women peeing in toilet, he decides to destroy his marriage which just started on rocky grounds. And he has 28 days to do it. 28 days to claim his sister in law for himself.
Generally, i find it quite hard to dislike someone upon first impression. I mean, when people meet for the first time, they’re usually polite, they don’t really show their flaws and all but for Junhui, it’s different.
The first time my girlfriend introduce me to Junhui, her sister’s fiance-to-be, i hate him. Junhui is 3 years older than me, 28 years old, gym fit, puffed out chest, large bicep, bespectacled and walks like he suffers from terrible armpit abrasions. His white work shirt is always one size smaller, his pants 1 inch higher to show off his hairless pale ankle.
In his left hand, will be his Mont Blanc wallet and Samsung foldable phone, on his right, is the key to his Mercedes. Yes, separate hands. When he shook my hand , he shook it with the key fob in his palm. It’s like he can’t wait to tell me he drives a continental car.
First words out of his mouth?
Junhui : I heard from Siqi you are plumber? haha…next time toilet choke i call you…haha…your hand wash already right? hahaha
I saw Siqi’s sister Shihui gave Junhui a nudge in his stomach, obviously irritated and embarrassed.
I just smiled awkwardly and kept quiet.
Yes, i’m a blue collar worker. I don’t work in the office typing away on computers and looking at charts. With a diploma in electronics, my options are pretty limited. I became an apprentice to a seasoned electrician and a plumber for a year before going ahead to launch my own handyman business.
Junhui has his mercedes alright, but i have my Nissan NV200. One with shelves that i designed and installed on my own. Stock with spare parts, tools and equipment and even a ladder, i go around the island fixing up people’s house as a handyman.
People like me are pretty much invisible to people like Junhui who works in Marina Bay financial centre.
My business is nothing to brag about but taking away costs and my own contribution to my CPF, i still bring in close to 3000 net a month. That’s more than enough for my own expenses. My friends told me i’ll be better off doing dishes in a F&B chain. I beg to differ. I may be clearing shit, but this is something of my own.
I met Siqi when i fixed some choke in her office, we chatted, and a week later, i went back to fix some lighting issues. Something just clicked and i mustered up enough courage to ask her out and the rest is history. I thought Siqi’s parents will mind the fact that i’m a handyman but surprisingly, they were ok with it. They were blue collar workers themselves and i guess they could see how much pride i take in my work. It may not be anything glamourous, but it’s an honest living.
Once or twice a month, Siqi and i will go on double dates with Shihui and Junhui. It’s not something i look forward to but if it makes my girlfriend happy, i’ll do it. Having an additional eye candy like Shihui, makes things a lot better.
Now, Shihui, is an auditor and a part time Pilates instructor. She dresses well, has a great figure, beautiful legs and has been approached by talent scouts multiple times along the streets. At 1.6m, she’s not exactly tall nor petite, but i would say the she’s of the right build to dress well. She look good in high heels for sure, but equally attractive in her pilate outfit. Her firm, C-cup breasts and her sweet innocent smile, man, those were the cherry on top of the pie.
My girlfriend Siqi ain’t too bad either, for lack of a better term, she’s like a ‘downgraded’ version of Shihui. Don’t get me wrong, Siqi is pretty too, but slightly shorter, smaller breast, and her legs, while still slim, were not as tone nor alluring as her sister.
She still looks good in skirts and dresses though, these are clothes that Shihui seldom wear. She’s more of a pants and blouse, leggings and sports bra kind of girl.
Going on double dates almost meant another thing. Having to put up with Junhui’s shit.
What shit?
The way his phone was angled. Try as i might to ignore and pretend i did not notice, i could not. Junhui has this habit of taking pictures of Siqi. When we sit across each other, he will deliberately choose the seat across my girlfriend, then he will casually put his phone under the table.
I could have confronted him, but it will make the whole situation weird. Honestly, i didn’t know what to do. I saw him putting his phone under my girlfriend’s dress and skirt while going up the escalator several times as well.
He not only did that to Siqi, he did it to other girls.
Shihui had this really beautiful image of her boyfriend Junhui, like he was some god send from heaven. I can’t bring myself to ruin that for her. Not yet, anyway. But the more I observed Junhui, the more I realized he wasn’t just a creep—he was a predator.
Our relationship is strained as it is, he didn’t like me from the get go, and i made no attempt to be friendly either. We barely talked and we quarreled quite frequently. So if i were to spill the beans, he might just turn around and say i was just trying to sour the relationship.
As the saying goes, Karma is a bitch, and the day finally came when Junhui was bitten in the ass by Karma.
He was caught taking a video of a colleague peeing in the office. And when the police dug through his phone, they found more upskirts and peeing videos.
You know what was more amazing?
Junhui put on that sick puppy act and Shihui actually forgave him. He promised to change.
On that same night, i saw him at a KTV lounge in town. He was there celebrating with his friends after his lawyer say he can get him off with a fine and a warning after her compensated the colleague and quit the job.
Junhui was in the main area, putting flowers on girls at $300 a piece.
What was i doing there?
I was there with my toolbox, a ladder and work clothes. Junhui did not see me of course, i was invisible. I spent the next 30 minutes digging through puke and shit to clear a choke for $180, and the manager was nice enough to offer me a can of red bull.
I turned and looked at Junhui dancing, gyrating his hips and grinding his body against the girls he tipped and i could feel this burning anger rising within.
Shihui is so beautiful, much better than any of the skanky girls he surrounds himself with and he still does this shit.
Cases like these aren’t exactly pressing matters for the courts. A date was set, gets pushed back each time the lawyer and prosecutors file new affidavits, and by the time he was set to attend court, more than a year has passed.
Shihui and Junhui were married, and they had just completed the renovation for the resale flat in punggol.
On the day of the sentencing, Junhui was devastated when it came with a jail term. He could not believe what he was hearing and he kept raising his voice and cursing at his lawyer.
The 12 day jail term became 42 days after the judge charged him with contempt of court. On top of that, there’s a $6000 fine.
Shihui was crying, Siqi was holding onto her sister as they quickly walked out of the courts while i carried their bags a few step behind.
The amazing part for the girls was they managed to keep this whole fiasco from their parents because it was not splashed all over the news. It so happened there were more newsworthy stuff going on.
We went to Shihui’s place, and while my girlfriend comforts her, i just sat at a corner, watching them quietly.
My attention turned to Junhui’s computer, his laptop, his hard drives. Then i looked at Shihui.
Junhui’s sentencing was to begin immediately. With good behavior, his lawyer says he will be out in 28 days.
Siqi came over to me and i saw her checking her watch several times.
She needs to head to the airport soon for a work trip.
Perfect timing.
Siqi: dear i’ll be gone for a whole month. my parents, they don’t know…i need your help to keep an eye on my sister. can?
I nodded.
James: don’t worry…
At 5pm that evening, i sent Siqi to the airport together with Shihui. Too distraught to spend the night alone at her new place, Shihui chose to go back to her parents, lying that Junhui is overseas on a urgent work trip for a few days.
After i drop Shihui off, i headed back to her flat. I knew the password, why? Because Junhui was too cheap to pay the lock installer. He wants it to be my ‘house warming gift’ to them. He bought the lock online and i installed them.
They changed the password of course, but don’t forget, i’m the handyman. I know how to work those shit. I kept a master key.
I let myself into Junhui and Shihui’s place and shut the door.
Standing in the house, i could feel the tingling in my spine.
While Junhui is in Jail, i’m going to destroy his marriage. And anything i get along the way, is a bonus i’ll eagerly accept.
First, i’m going to fuck up the lights, the plumbing, the cabinetry, even the aircon. And who do you think Shihui is going to call?
Coming soon
