Episode 2

Setting: Singapore

At the bank..

Raynor: Sorry Miss, could you help me deposit this sum of money into my account.. Thanks.. Well.. Make it quick.. I'm rushing for time..

Banker (Lyn): Sure..

As Raynor steps out of the bank, he hastened his footsteps...

Then suddenly, he bumped into a girl..

Girl: Ouch!

Documents from the girl's hand started dropping to the ground..

Raynor: I'm sorry..

As he said this, he helped her pick up the documents..

Then their eyes met each other..

Raynor: Oh! It's you!

Girl (Philynn): Haha...Yes Yes...

Raynor: Didn't expect that we would meet again..

Philynn: Yup...So how have you been doing?

Raynor: As usual.. Still working as a psychologist in that same old building..

Philynn: I see..

Raynor: What about you?

Philynn: I'm working as a bank accountant..

Raynor: In that bank?

Philynn: Yes..

Raynor: What a coincidence! I was there to do some banking transactions.. Anyway, shall we meet for dinner?

Philynn: Sure..

Raynor: What about La Cartel?

Philynn: Okay..

As they said this, they agreed on the time and place where they were going to meet..

At La Cartel....

Philynn: Of all places, you still chose this place.. You haven't change a single bit.. You still do the decision in everything..

Raynor: Hehe.. This is where we had our first date.. That's why I'm still single now...I really missed the moments we had together...

Philynn: Me too.. But in the end, we still broke up..

Raynor: Yes..

Suddenly, the mood in the restaurant seemed sterile and melancholic...

Both were deep in thought..

Philynn: Well.. er...Anyway, how's your sister faring in school?

Raynor: Ha.. Don't mention about that girl.. She's still has juvenile as ever..

Philynn: Hmm..?

Raynor: She will keep pestering me.. Asking questions related to love, sex and relationships..

Philynn: Hehe.. I remembered your sis.. Was quite gossipy..

As she said this, both broke out into laughter..

Raynor: Love.. Interesting yeah?

Philynn nodded her head and gave a smile...

At Raynor's house...

After dinner, Philynn went home by herself..

When Raynor opened his house door, suddenly this lights were switched on by someone..

Raynor: Who's that?!

glitz: Da-ge! It's me..

Raynor: You have frightened me..

glitz: Yeah.. I knew it, especially when you have a date with someone yeah? Hehe...

Raynor: How did you know?

glitz: Well.. You're back so late today and moreover you look unusually happy today.. In the end, you've clean forgotten about me..

As glitz said this, she pretended to sulk and throw false tantrums..

Raynor: Okay okay.. My dear sister, I'll cook you dinner..

glitz: Hehe.. Thanks, but I've already eaten with my friends..

Raynor: Hmm...Who was it?

glitz: Who do you think it was? Of course it's the same few friends..

Raynor gave a coy smile..

glitz: Know something? My friends were talking about love today.. Sometimes I really wonder, what is like to be loved and does it really cause one to do anything willingly for the other.. (She looked up into the ceiling, still wondering, and nodded her head as she spoke..)

Raynor still looked intently at her sister..

glitz: Love is blind...hmm...Wonder how Dad and Mum get to know each other.. Wonder wonder...

Raynor: You're still young, too young to know about love..

glitz: Who says? I know of friends who started dating each other.. Only me, sob...No one likes me...

Raynor: But your brother does..

glitz: Yucks! You're disgusting.. hmm...But since Dad and Mum left us at such a young age, you took up the burden to take care of me...I'm grateful for that, da-ge..

Raynor put his arm round his sister and smiled..

At the mental clinic (mental.com)...

Raynor: Remember to come for your second treatment next Friday, okay?

Patient (Larry): Okay..

There was a knock on the door..

Raynor: Come in please..

A woman in twenties entered the room..

Woman (Phyllis): Hi, err, I'm not here to accept any medical treatment..

But it's about my sister...She is suffering from some mental conditions..

Raynor: Why don't you bring her here?

Phyllis: I've asked her, but she doesn't want to.. If I force her, she would start throwing tantrums... and the house will be in a mess..

Raynor: Can you tell me what was the cause of her mental illness?

Phyllis: She is suffering depression from a broken marriage..

Raynor: Broken Marriage?

Phyllis: Yes.. Her husband is a swindler.. he cheated all of her money and pretended to be nice to her.. It has been two months since their divorce.. Anyway, you've got to help my sister, she's the only sister I have..

Raynor: What's the name of your sister?

Phyllis: Prisc..

Raynor: I see.. Okay, so when will you be available?

Phyllis: I'm now working as a model.. The time may not be fixed..

Raynor: That's alright.. What about next Wednesday?

Phyllis: Hmm.. I think I should be able to make it.. Okay..

After saying this, Phyllis left the room and Raynor was in deep thought..

"Not an easy task this time round..", thought Raynor.
