Cabby Chitchat

When you take a cab alone, sometimes the driver starts a conversation. Normally the topic hovers around weather, traffic jam, or last night football match. But today, I was involed in a bizarre cabby chitchat. At the beginning it was a normal chitchat, talking about traffic... pretty standard. Then the driver started talking about his mistresses and his love affairs. He was in his 40s, I didn't make a guess, he told me himself, part of the prolog of his great story. He was in the army, but then took early retirement. Now except his current wife, he has 2 steady girlfriends. One is a China girl, who is now in Shanghai waiting for him to fly there and spend romantic nights. The other one is his ex-sweetheart, who was married to a gambler, had 2 kids with that guy, then got divorced coz she can't stand his gambling problem, and now secretly seeing her ex-lover, who is my cab driver. Whoa! Suddenly this ride became like Ram Punjabi's sinetron...
