who is he anyway?

i went home from office at around 10pm last night. no, i did not render an overtime. an officemate from another department came over and talked about a relationship she just ended.

accordingly, her ex-boyfriend was a certified user. that's what her other colleagues describe him. there was one time they went to Mall of Asia. her ex-boyfriend wanted her to buy him an Armani perfume. although she can afford it, she did not give in. from then on, it had become an issue between them..

i told her, "hmm.. been there!".

i can relate to her. when we were still together, my ex-husband would ask me to buy him things for himself like books, shirts, and Levis' pants! at that time, i didn't own such expensive pants but i bought few pairs for him anyway lest it would become a cause for an argument. too bad, because of him i forgot to value myself..

he would resent me everytime i arrived home from travel empty-handed. there was even one instance that i gave him a white shirt which my brother gave me. he was disgusted to find out that it was just a promo shirt from a client of my brother.

by the way, do i have to mention that he was so disappointed when he received only a bar of chocolate from my sister who came home from United Kingdom?

my two brothers also got chocolates but they did not complain.. then, why would he?

my ex-husband panicked when his ex-mother-in-law consulted a fortune-teller..

yeah! i did mention in my earlier post that what triggered my husband to reluctantly confess about the crime his brother had allegedly committed was the fact that i told him that my mother consulted a fortune-teller. my mother was suspicious when she learned about the burglary.. she felt something was so fishy..

with a help of colleague, my mother was able to tracked the location of the fortune-teller. the pathway to her house was so steep that one false move would drag the unfamiliar visitor to roll down to the ground. i could imagine the horrendous ordeal my mother and her colleague went through considering their age, not to mention their chronic arthritis.

anyway, as narrated by my mother, they were able to talk to the fortune teller about their purpose. after the fortune-teller performed a ritual, she told my mother that the theft was somebody who is closely related to my ex-husband. she continued to describe in detail the identity of the culprit when my mother stopped her. my mother was so embarrassed that she did not want her colleague to hear the rest of the revelations. the description pointed it all to the identity of my ex-husband's brother..

my mother then vowed to return to the fortune-teller but she silently hoped her colleague would not go with her. she did not convince me to go with her, i myself was already convinced. but because of my busy schedule at that time, we were able to visit the fortune-teller only a few weeks after. unfortunately, the fortune-teller had difficulty delivering her service again since it happened more than a month already and my mother did not buy black candles as instructed..

when i told my ex-husband about that, he laughed deviously, turned his back from me, then tried to hide his sigh of relief..

i was helpless to ask help from NBI..

this is the 2nd to the last part of the previous post, "my ex-bro-in-law allegedly stole my jewels away.."

after his confession, my ex-husband firmly instructed me not to contact any NBI agents. i protested! i explained that to set things clear, the crime should be investigated to point out who the guilty party is. but my protest fell into deaf ears.. he was so sure that his brother did it. he further said that the result of the investigation would be a tremendous shame to the family.

the next thing i knew, he wiped off the finger prints on the jewelry box.. and so was my hope for justice..

speaking of the black sheep..

(this is the 6th part of my previous post entitled, "my ex-bro-in-law allegedly stole my jewels away..)

one of the reasons why my ex-bro-in-law was the only suspect is that he already has a history of being the theft. my sis-in-law (just like my mother-in-law, i respect her too much to put a prefix "ex" on her) narrated to me that she lost a camera a long time ago. that camera was a special gift from her father who bought it in saudi arabia when he was still working there. she later saw her camera through her acquaintance. when she asked how that acquaintance was able to acquire that item, she was told that it was bought from her brother. she was dumbfounded and helpless to do anything..

so sad, don't you think?

to be continued..

my ex-bro-in-law wanted some more of my jewels..

this is the 5th part of my previous post entitled, "my ex-bro-in-law allegedly stole my jewels away".

in continuation of my most recent post on why all fingers were pointed to my ex-bro-in-law as the only suspect, read on:

the morning after, i just stayed home as i was too traumatized to report to the office. i was accompanied by my mother-in-law (i respected her too much to put a prefix "ex" on her). then, we saw my ex-bro-in-law and an unidentified man, who were both riding a motorcycle, approached the gate of my house. when they realized that we were around as they saw us watching them through the window, they suddenly made a u-turn. why on earth would they do that? would they have proceeded to enter the house had they were assured that nobody was around? what would they want from my house? some more of my jewels perhaps? or the appliances that were left untouched? he must be a too discontented man..
