JB Trip

One evening when I came back from work, wifey was excited about telling me that she bumped into one of her friends from secondary school when she was at the grocery at the nearby mall. I was happy for her too and she went on to tell me about her friend.

Her friend, let's call her N, was married and is a Malay. She had a kid already and is working as an executive at a small company. Her husband is in Civil Defence and they were on leave together when they bumped into my wife. They chat up and exchanged numbers after a while and long story short, they were planning for a short trip to JB over the coming weekend, a 3D2N trip.

Wifey left it at that and sensing it, I asked wifey if she would want to follow. She gladly said yes and I felt why not. Since she (and I) can get our separate time for ourselves. She said N did mention that they were planning for a simple trip up to Batu Pahat, and maybe to Gunung Ledang for a nature trip with their kid. I felt it was ok for her but just told her to be careful and update me.

Friday afternoon, whilst I was at work, wifey messaged me that she was already with N, her husband, and their 2-year-old kid. She sat at the front, as N had to sit with her kid. It turned out to be an "eventful" outing for my wife as she came back and told me in detail.

So by the time they crossed over to the JB side, it was already 4.30pm. Their first stop was for seafood dinner. N's husband called up one of his friends and asked for a recommendation. He then said that his friend, Joe (short for Johan), who is staying in JB will be joining them for dinner at this particular makan place that has seafood.

Their car reached first and it was around 5.30pm already. They got a table and were just chatting around when Joe appeared. N's husband welcomed him and introduced the rest of the table. Joe took immediate attention to my wife, just cause she was the "family friend". I was pretty sure he was already checking her out. I asked her what she was wearing and she nothing slutty, normal spaghetti, shorts, and sandals.

More about Joe, he's like your typical Malaysian. He has slightly long unkempt shoulder hair and wore a black metal t-shirt, faded jeans, and slippers. He had some facial hair, but the not fully developed type. My wife said she especially hates those thin mustaches type.

Joe was currently unemployed and was staying with his parents. Sometimes he would help out with their small farm garden, most of them he would just 'lepak' with his members. Joe sat across my wife and kept stealing glances at her. Food arrived and they happily tucked into their food. One thing about Joe is that he was the funny type of guy and kept cracking jokes, even in broken english. My wife laughed abit at his antics and she found him silly and non-threatening, but something still irked her about Joe.

Finally, the dinner ended at about 8 plus, close to 9. Joe then suggested that they all took a photo. He called out a waiter to take the photo as they all stood together. He conveniently stood next to my wife and when the waiter said 'moved closer, he moved in to make more bodily contact with my wife. I guessed she didn't look too much into it. They then later walked out to the carpark and while the men smoked their ciggies, wifey asked N, "So where are we going to sleep tonight?" N replied that they would normally sleep at one of her relatives' places as they had a guest room.

After they smoked, the guys came back to the two ladies and the sleeping baby and N's husband said, "Joe said that we all can sleep at his place as his place got at least 3 empty rooms. Also, his place is near a river stream and park area that we could all go to tomorrow morning." All seemed to agree as it was a logical choice and poor wifey had no choice but to follow. They all then walked to their cars. Joe then said, "Eh Maria (fake wife name), you sit with me la, their car too many people already." He said cheekily. N just smiled at her and her husband also said, "Yeah why not?" Wifey also just played along and went with Joe.

Driving off, Joe made small talk with wifey, asking her questions like whether she's married, has kids, what job, etc. Once in a while, he will try to make jokes and my wife, now more relaxed would laugh along. Joe kept looking at her and then said nothing. I'm guessing that he was looking at my wife's boobs. You know, when ladies put on the seatbelt which goes in between the boobs, making my wife's bust more enhanced.

They then exited the main highway and went to a kampung road, which was surrounded by palm trees and eerily dark. Wifey was a bit scared as she cannot see anything. About 20 mins later, they entered a small kampung area but Joe kept driving on until eventually, they reached a wooden kampung house, those on stilts type. N's car arrived just behind them and they carried their bags up to the house. Joe's parents came out to greet them. Both were quite old folks, approximately reaching their 70s already. Joe's father still looks healthy, probably cause of working on the farm. However, his mom was quite frail looking already.

Joe then showed them their rooms. N and her husband were given the room at the end of the row as it has a queen-sized bed and space for another mattress for the baby. Joe then escorted my wife to her room. The first thing that she noticed was that it had no door, but just a heavy cloth covering the doorway. She didn't want to be rude so when Joe asked if it was fine she said that it was alright

The way she described the layout, there was a total of 3 rooms in a row, and a bigger room at one of the sides, forming an 'L' shape, followed by one toilet and shower area. So the layout is (from the top of the L), N and her husband (with door), Joe (with door), wifey (no door), Joe's parents, and toilet/shower. Wifey settled into her so-called room, which she later found out was just a store, but was converted into another room, hence no door was affixed at that time. It just had a mattress, a small worn-down cupboard, and a window that faces into the palm trees area.

The whole family and guests had a small chat in the living room and were planning what to do the following day. They decided to go to the river stream in the morning, for lunch and then to do some shopping in the later part of the afternoon,

By the time they separated into their separate rooms, it was already close to 11pm. Wifey was all alone and decided that since all doors have been locked, she would grab a quick shower before she sleeps. She gathered all her necessities and walked to the bathroom. It was one of those with just a zinc door and a cemented water basin. Wifey commented that they don't have a heater and hence, the water was very cold from the basin which made her nipples harden quickly. She had a quick rinse off her body, wrapped herself in a towel, and exited the bathroom. The moment she stepped in her towel, Joe's dad was standing in the doorway.

Wifey was shocked and dropped her shampoo and shower foam. He just stood there observing my wife whilst she said sorry and quickly grabbed her items and hurriedly went to her room. Inside, wifey said her heart was racing abit but she brushed it away and picked her clothes to sleep. She had packed her long pajama pants and had slipped into a t-shirt, without wearing any bra or panties. Since it has been a long cold night, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, things got better.
