Anyway, this conversation takes place between Helen’s mom, Aunty Sarah and I. It’s purely fictional. If you believe this, well, I don’t know what to say to you!
*my phone rings* ...everybody knows it’s true, you’re a bitch and you are a slut…
ME: *yawns* Hey.
AUNTY SARAH: Stephanie, have you seen Helen?
ME: Um… Who’s this? Why are you looking for Helen?
AUNTY SARAH: This is *static crackles* Sarah.
ME: Huh? Sorry? Mr. Wong? Why are you calling me about Helen?
AUNTY SARAH: *static crackles* This is not Mr. Wong! I’m asking about my daughter!
ME: Oh, wow, Mr. Wong, that’s so nice that you’ve finally decided to accept her into your family as your daughter-in-law! And you’re finally calling her your daughter! Roshan must be so happy about it.
AUNTY SARAH: She is my daughter, and who’s Roshan?
ME: Oh, Mr. Wong, you’re so funny, pretending you don’t know your own son! You know, Sarah and I knew this would happen -- that Helen would run away with Roshan sometime soon. We just didn’t want to tell you.
AUNTY SARAH: What are you talking about? I’m Sarah! And where is Helen?
ME: *laughs* You’re not Sarah, Mr. Wong! You’re Mr. Wong!
AUNTY SARAH: I’m *static crackles* Aunty Sarah, dammit, Helen’s mom!
ME: Oh, Sarah, why didn’t you say so sooner? Eh, did you know about Helen running away with Roshan? Que scandalosa, no?
AUNTY SARAH: Are you telling me my daughter is involved in a scandal?
ME: Huh? Helen’s not your daughter, la, idiot.
AUNTY SARAH: This is not Sarah Lois Dorai, this is the other Sarah!
ME: I don’t know any other Sarah. You’re wasting my time and it’s hot and dark and Earth Hour. I do not have the time or patience for this. Byee…
AUNTY SARAH: *sobs* My daughter has gone missinggggg…
ME: Oh, you’re Helen’s mom! Why didn’t you say so earlier? *sigh* I don’t know what’s wrong with you grown ups.
AUNTY SARAH: So, what happened to Helen?
ME: This is the most awesome scandal you’ll ever hear of, Aunty. Helen ran away with Roshan, Godma’s son!
AUNTY SARAH: Oh. Well, in that case, I won’t bother looking for her, then. I have Hannah, who I’ll never send for tuition because of this!
HANNAH: *in background* Yay!
Far away in KLIA, a plane takes off to a college in USA, with Helen and Roshan sitting in it, holding hands and staring into each other’s eyes.
GODMA (back in OUG): Helen Sneha, I am going to kill you! *makes peanut cookies*
-end-
So, whaddaya think? Should I take Literature in college and become the next Sarah Waters?
