'You always nag about this or that,' he said.
'This is not working. If you can't accept my conditions, please go,' I said, pointing to the door.
The previous day, the phone line had gone dead. I assumed it was because Maiyuu was too lazy to pay the phone bill.
The same night, I had asked him to buy food in the market, as I was busy teaching at Mum's shop.
He claimed no shops were open. When I arrived home, I found several foodcart owners were still open for business. He was too lazy to check himself, I thought, so simply fobbed me off.
Several days before, he had borrowed B400 from me, which he had yet to pay back. Whenever I asked for its return, he gave me the same response: 'I haven't been to the cash machine yet,' he said.
While he was taking a shower on Christmas Day, I helped myself to his wallet and extracted my ATM card, which he keeps with him to do our shopping and pay bills.
'Where is the card?' he asked me 10 minutes later, in a state of alarm.
'I have it - and now I want my money,' I said.
He gave me the cash, but fell into a sulk. Clearly, he did not find my little joke funny.
