A mid-summer night hare (38)

Hareta is out of her mind. She likes to take advantage of every possible opportunity to fabricate stories about Emmy. Even the pillow talks.

Hareta says, “Did you know your wife goes to Dinghui Temple? She is a fake Christian. She is so hypocratic.”

Ackley says, “Yes, she acts totally different in public.”

Hareta says, “I am different. I am whole-heartedly genuine to you. I am truthful and I am sincere. Emmy only cares about money and the earthly things. I am not so much of a sweet talker as her but I am loyal to you.”

Ackley says, “I know you are true to me.”

Hareta says, “As long as you know I am true to you. I don’t ask for a relationship for its sake. I just want to be with you. But there is something I want to tell you about….”

Ackley says, “What is it?”

Hareta says, “I think Emmy has been spying on me. Perhaps she thinks that I am threatening her status as your wife. You know women are sensitive. She may suspect that I am trying to get with you. You know, that day when she drove me home, she asked if I like you. She may have guessed the affairs between us. She wanted to deter me from dating you by saying something bad behind your back.”

Ackley says, “She knows what’s between us?”

Hareta says, “She is just suspecting. Of course I didn’t admit it. There is no proof. Why would I confess? I think she is jealous of the fact that I am from Shanghai because she says I have a good fashion sense. She even says I am a typical Shanghainese and she is no better. Not sure if my looks make her jealous, she even sprayed some insecticides onto my face when she said I had a mosquito bite. I didn’t wear any glasses and it got into my eyes. Will I go blind? She wants to take my vision away. Things look so blurry now. Maybe I won’t be able to see ever again.”

As a matter of fact, Emmy’s insecticides in her car are stick-shaped, not sprays. But Emmy does not even have the opportunity to defend herself. Hareta is self-directing her own little drama and only fools like Ackley would believe her illful lies.

Ackley says, “Emmy is such an evil woman!”

So, Emmy has been blamed and hated for things that she never did and words she never said. Is Emmy an evil wicked housewife trying to punish the mistress or is she a victim of Hareta’s repeated poisoning and murdering crimes? Never knew a Hong Kong native would get jealous over a new immigrant’s identity from rural China. Even Jun Jihyun could envy Song Hyekyo, what else is impossible? Not sure what Medusa thinks of herself, but Hareta only seems to appreciate her self-value through turning men into stone. But those Greek gods and goddesses actually treat her nothing more than a monstrous killing machine gorgon, kicking her chopped head around like a football while avoiding any eye contacts with her. No one tries to steal your place, Medusa. No one quite wants to be you yet. Not everyone trades sex like it’s a privilege in Hong Kong.

Hareta likes to create her own drama and says, “You know what, I took her to a hospital today. The doctor says she has shingles and she can’t even wear contact lenses now. Isn’t this her bad karma? She wants to make me blind and she herself has to wear glasses now. She asks me on the edge of tears if she is ugly. It’s all because she is jealous of me. This is God’s punishments on her.”

Ackley says, “Women are evil.”

Hareta says, “Why do you still love her? I am not like her in any ways.”
