Short Story by Macario Tiu
The story is about the Chinese couple Peter and Linda who had tried hard in their life. Tua Pouya a character in the story narrates the story of the couple. To ensure that their first-born baby would be a boy, after the wedding, he is the one who jumps and romps on the pristine matrimonial bed of the couple. Linda often brought him to their house in Bajada during their first year of marriage and it's her way of easing herself since she had no family and relatives in town. She fondly called him Tua Poya which means Fatso. Tua Poya will also call her Achi, and Peter, Ahiya. There was so much laughter in the house indicating that Lina and Peter are a happy couple.
Tua Poya sensed that something had gone wrong in the third year of their marriage. The upper portion of the Nanking Store in Santa Ana is where Linda moved after she left the Bajada house. How strange it is that Linda would choose to live in Santa Ana while Peter would stay in Bajada. One late afternoon, Linda was caught by Tua Poya talking to his mother about the reason why she left the Bajada house because she was bored and thought he could help Peter at the store. But then, Tua Poya learned the real reason when one night his Mother told him to fetch his Father at the New Canton Barbership for Dinner.
