It was late one night and I had been out with a few of my friends, drinking and having a good time.
We decided to head back to my place when we heard some strange noises coming from the alleyway ahead of us.
We all stopped to investigate and that’s when I saw my dad.
He was standing outside of a ‘lup sup’ massage parlour talking to a woman who appeared to be a masseuse.
My dad had always been a bit of a recluse and I rarely ever saw him, so I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him there.
What was he doing? I thought to myself. Before I could move, the woman smacked my dad’s bottom and he jumped back in surprise.
He looked around and spotted me and his face turned white.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My dad had always been so strict and yet here he was in this seedy place.
I wanted to confront him, but before I could, he quickly ran off in the opposite direction
My friends and I went back to my place and I couldn’t even bring myself to talk about what had happened.
I couldn’t believe that my dad would be involved in something like this. I was still in shock and I couldn’t process what had happened.
The next morning, I got up and decided to confront my dad about what had happened.
I asked him why he was at the massage parlour and why he had let a woman smack his bottom.
He refused to answer my questions and just looked away.
My dad had always been so strict and yet here he was in this seedy place.
I was curious as to what he was there for and thought he was very double standard because when I talked about going to experience all this, he chided me.
Finally, one day he told me why he had went there and what he was doing there.
He told me that ever since my mother and him divorced, he had no time to date properly and so his needs were never fulfilled.
He also said that sometimes he DIY until sian so he will occasionally go and find a woman for a ‘quick fix’ there.
That was how he had been living his life all this while.
