Episode 3: Indecent Act II

Playing song, "Harlem Summer"

After reading her mail, Eunice and Jandelene were so happy and excited that they wanted to cook dinner for her as a form of celebration.

The next morning, both of them took a day off and went to the market, wanted to prepare their best dishes for their good friend, Vivien.

Jandelene: I am feeling so happy today. I think I am going to prepare one of my best dishes, which is green bean soup tonight. How about you, Eunice?
Eunice: Well, I shall prepare fried mee hoon for her. You know, that is what her mum always cooks for us whenever we visit her home.
Jandelene: Exactly!

On the other end, Vivien had already arrived at the doorstep and pressed the bell. Okada went to open the door for her. The very moment he saw Vivien, a special kind of feeling went all over him. Perhaps it is called love at 1st sight. The gentleness and elegance of Vivien had attracted him. And he was tongue-tied.

Okada: Hi, I…I am O…Okada and how may I help you?
Vivien: Yes, I am looking for Mr Sakamoto? Does he live here?
Okada: Oh yes, he's inside. Please come in.
Vivien: Thank you.

While Vivien was on the sofa, Okada asked,

Okada: Miss Vivien san, any drinks for you? We have coffee, tea, orange juice, apple juice, guava juice and
(Vivien smiled and interrupted)
Vivien: I think a glass of plain water will do. Thank you.
(Okada's face was blushing at that moment)

Then, Sakamoto came out from his room to meet Vivien. They introduced themselves to each other. After that, he showed her around the home and sat down for further discussion.

It was around evening. The rest of the guys, Hiroshi, Ken, Morita and Inohara were back from their work. And all of them were waiting for Eunice and Jandelene to prepare dinner. Finally, they returned. Inohara: Aiyo, what took you so long to buy the food, Obasan? Jandelene: Sorry huh, uncle. If you want, you can always go out and have your meal. It will make things much easier for us.

When Morita saw Eunice carrying several bags of stuff, he went up to her immediately and helped to carry all of them for her.
Hiroshi did the same thing as Morita as well but for the sake of Jandelene.

As both of them went to the kitchen, they were surprised to see Vivien.

Jandelene & Eunice: Vivien, why are you here?
Vivien: Hi ladies, feeling shocked?
Jandelene: Definitely, I thought you are meeting your client?
Vivien: Yes, I have met him already. He's here.
Eunice: Huh? What are you talking about?
Vivien: He is Sakamoto.
Jandelene: Really? What a coincidence!
Eunice: So this is the special mission and surprise you have for us!
Vivien: Ha ha, you are right!

They prepared the dinner together, at the same time, chatting in the kitchen. It was ladies' night inside the kitchen, no man was allowed to enter their world. Even Hiroshi who wanted to offer his help to the ladies especially towards Jandelene was thrown out.

It was a noisy dinner. The 3 ladies kept talking. They could talk from their secondary times till now. Nobody can interrupt their conversation. Finally,

Sakamoto: So the three of you known one another since secondary school times. How many years back?
Vivien: It was 10 years back already.
Hiroshi: Wow! So your friendship must be very strong.
Jandelene: Definitely.

After the dinner. The 3 ladies went back to Eunice room for chit-chat session.

Jandelene: Hey Vivien, did you find something fishy about Ken and Morita?
Vivien: Well, they seemed quite close.
Jandelene: Tell you something, actually they are GAYS!
Vivien: WHAT? Are you sure?
Eunice: Don't listen to her. We are unsure of that at the moment.
Jandelene: Eunice, believe me lah. My judgement is always accurate.
Eunice: But…but
Vivien: Aiyah! Both of you don't quarrel over that matter. Anyway, let us just wait and see.

Late at night, Jandelene wanted to go to the kitchen and get some cookies for them. On her way back to the room, she happened to hear some noise in Morita's room. This time round, she tiptoed back to Eunice room and asked the 2 ladies to tag along with her. The three of them leaned themselves against the door and eavesdropped.

Ken: Hey Morita, let us try something new tonight.
Morita: what did you have in your mind?
Ken: You lied down first.
Morita: Okay, what now?
Ken: Good. 1, 2 and 3. Push.
Ken: So how are you feeling? Fantastic, right?
Morita: Very comfortable, can you try again?
At that moment, the 3 ladies felt so disgusted that they made a lot of noise. Suddenly, Morita went to open the door. And the 3 ladies fell down to the ground.

Playing song, "Kiss you, kiss me"

Morita: What are you gals doing here?
Eunice: We…we are.
Jandelene: Enough, we have enough of all these. I think we need to have an urgent meeting.
Ken: Meeting?

Soon, all of them gathered around the table to have their meeting.

Jandelene: Okay, Ken and Morita. I don't really agree with the special kind of relationship that both of you have. Not only me, Vivien and Eunice share the same opinions as well.
(Morita and Ken were feeling blurred at that time and they looked at each other in gaze)
Morita: Jandelene san, wait a minute. What do you mean by "the special kind of relationship?"
Jandelene: I need not have to be so specific. You should know, that kind of guy-to-guy…
Ken: Hahaha, you mean we are GAYS? What a joke? Yes, we are into some kind of relationship. But that is not what you think. We are very good friends, you may call us buddies.
Eunice: Is that true?
Morita: Definitely, Eunise-san.
Vivien: if that is the case, then what are you guys doing inside the room just now?
Morita: Oh. We are just giving each other some massages. That's all.

At last, the puzzle had been solved. And Eunice was relieved. Morita finally realized why Eunice had been avoiding him for the past few days.
