Episode 12 - From Across, I Will Shade You
People were made to be kind. We were, but somewhere along the path most of us got misled. We were misled to think the bad in people. Whenever someone decided to do something drastic, something that seemed mean, something that seemed irresponsible, we were misled to think that that person was doing it for all the wrong reasons. Why couldn’t we believe that maybe, just maybe, that person, was doing something that seemed irresponsible, out of kindness, out of care, and out of love? Leaving a loved one, stealing for a loved one, divorce, why couldn’t we see the silver lining in all these so called, irresponsible actions?
We saw through it that night though. As unbelievable as it was, there was no doubt that what Pussy was planning to do, had honorable intentions. It might seem selfish, it might seem as if he was running from his responsibilities, but what was hidden was that by running away, he was already fulfilling his responsibility.
“I can’t believe they fired us!” Screeched Tiny who was impatiently sitting next to Jizzy in their Mazda RX69.
“YEAH!” Replied Jizzy energetically while driving.
“And what’s worse, they gave our baton, to Straw and Smelly?! They were the ones who caused this problem in the first place! Now we’re the ones to be blamed for this?!” Tiny continued her complaint.
“YEAH!”
“Is that all you can say?!” Asked Tiny angrily.
“Y…Yeah?” Later, there was just silence.
Pussy’s heart was beating through his chest. We could tell by his face expression that he was not expecting this, and by ours’, every soul could tell we were panicked, every soul could tell, we wanted to go back home.
“Why is there a chapel underneath the house Pussy?!” Asked the angry Holy.
I couldn’t tell what Pussy was going to say. I could only tell that even the best liar in the world could not get away from this unscathed.
“And why are you hooligans here in-, underneath my house?!”
“It’s good to see you too.” Belle spoke out of the blue.
“I didn’t say it was good to see you. In fact, I find it saddening, and disappointing to find you, and the rest of you anywhere near my house!” Scolded Holy.
“Holy! Why are you blaming them for what happened?! It’s my fault okay! And yours too!” Now Pussy was angry.
“Me?! I’m to be blamed for getting myself pregnant illegally?!” Asked Holy sarcastically.
“If you’re blaming me for what I did, then you should blame yourself too because we were BOTH drunk!” Pussy came up with his comeback rather fiercely.
Holy shook her head in disbelief. She was angrier than she ever was. She did not care that there was a chapel built beneath her house, she did not care about the words that were coming out of Pussy’s mouth, all she wanted, was for everyone to leave her alone.
“Get out of my house, all of you!” Commanded the lady.
We all looked at each other, then to Pussy. All of our eyes were on him. We were patiently waiting for him to say the words he was supposed to say, or rather, the words that he planned to say. They were words that were able to set him free, they were words, that could make him the happy man he was.
“Holy, I have a proposition.” Said Pussy. Holy looked at him with impatient eyes. She could not wait, but she had to. “I know that this is what you want, so I will give it to you. I shall leave you, and live elsewhere, but at the same time, I shall give you whatever you need to take of the child. House, clothes, money, food, basically, anything.”
Everybody was waiting for Holy to say something. She looked down, quiet and silent for at least two minutes. We could not see what she was doing, we could not tell. The two minutes, the silent minutes that past us by seemed like eternity, and as what seemed like eternity ended, droppings of tears were bloomed, portraying either a broken heart, or a refined one.
“All this, was a mistake…” Said Holy while tearing. She covered her face with her gentle fingers and palms, broken and sad.
“This if for the best.” Continued Pussy. He did not know if it was true. Theoretically, it was the best, but who knew how Holy really felt. We did not know for sure if she was as strong, confident, and independent as she claimed to be. She could have been fragile, she was definitely lonely. Pussy thought of the possibility of repeating something, the possibility of repeating, a mistake.
“ACHOO!” Ribena sneezed as hard as she could.
“My god…”Complained Kitty who was driving slowly, as if he was love cruising.
“Haha, I kind of pity Jizzy and Tiny.” Said Ribena after a rather dishonest laugh.
“I feel the same too, but what can we do?” Asked Kitty who felt the same as his wife.
“We could complain to Syaz!” Suggested Ribena recklessly.
“No, what we should do, is just leave them alone. I’m really tired with all this drama, and more than half of them are not even our fault! Remember last time when we were living together in the huge castle by the hill?” Asked Kitty who was recalling the time when the Berries just got married and living together in a castle.
“OH my god yeah, all of us used to argue about the noise at night.” Ribena
too remembered their similar problem back then.
“Haih, Belle and Apple wouldn’t be able to stop moaning so loudly at night, Straw wouldn’t keep the hall tidy, Syaz and Bulu would invite too many people into the house and get way too drunk, Tiny and Jizzy only took care of their room and wouldn’t clean the rest of the house for some odd reason, Pussy’s guitar was too loud, Egg and Mush well, they were just adopted then so no complaints, and Smelly…She was never home.” Kitty listed the problems caused by everyone before.
“Yeah, but we always finished the food.” Said Ribena while smiling, and all her husband could do for a reply, was a bigger smile.
We were all now anticipating what Holy was going to say next. She was tearing for all the right reasons, we knew that much, but what no one knew, was how she felt about the proposition.
“You loathe me, I can’t change that, but I want to take care of you because I know I am responsible. But since you can’t even look at me without feeling pissed, I might as well leave, and take care of you from the other side.” Spoke Pussy wisely.
“I…I don’t loathe you. It’s just that, I…”Holy was choking between words, and she was too choked up by sadness to continue on. She was on bended knees, staring at the floor while tearing. Pussy went closer to her, went on bended knees, put his left hand on her right shoulder, lifted her chin upwards with his right fingers, and spoke.
“I’ll make sure you’re safe, always, from the other side.”
THE END
WILL HOLYBERRY BE ABLE TO CALM DOWN BY PUSSY’S COMFORTING VOICE AND WORDS? WILL KITTYBERRY AND RIBENABERRY EVER REALIZE THE DRAMA THAT THEY HAD CAUSE? WILL JIZZYBERRY AND TINYBERRY EVER ACCEPT THE NEW HEADS OF THE FAMILY? WILL I EVER ANSWER THE QUESTIONS I ASK IN THE NEXT EPISODE?! FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF, THE BERRIES’ DILEMMA

The Berries' Dilemma S01 Ep11 - Passion Beneath An Opera
Episode 11 - Passion Beneath An Opera
Music and lights were intertwining without fail throughout the roof and the circular walls. The floor was invisible to naked eyes, or to any eyes, it was too dark, too noisy to comprehend, too packed to find a loop hole to view the ground. Nearly a million people were jumping, shouting their hearts out to sing along with the band. Ink Corporated, was finally at its peak.
“How are yall doing tonight?!” asked Z, filled with energy and adrenaline.
Almost everyone shouted back, indicating that they were having the night of their life. “Our next song, is the first song that we ever wrote, I don’t know if many of you have heard of it, it was written by us all, not to forget Amirul Fikri a.k.a Strawberry who was our song writer back then! This is called ‘Now I’m here’, FUCKING ENJOY IT!” Again, people started shouting with anticipation, and when the music played, the cheers got louder, and seconds later, everything faded, they were quiet, they wanted to listen to the band, they wanted to listen to real music.
Ironically, that was their last song, and people shouted more for an encore. Ink Corporated played a cover of ‘Careless Whisper’, and their fans could not be more satisfied. The band went backstage, as they always did after each concert, and they didn’t think that Australia would be any different. Like usual, the ladies were piling up the backstage, wanting to get an autograph, or a hug, or even a kiss from the band members. It varied really, the outcome of after each performance, if they were tired, they would not care at all, if they weren’t, then hugs and kisses would be flying about. That night in Australia, they were too tired.
“Hey guys, there’s a girl out there saying she knows Synyster Tan” Said one of the workers backstage as soon as he entered the band’s resting room.
“What? That can’t be, she’s working in Egypt.” Said Pussy.
“No sir, its not your sweetheart, according to her, she was your classmate.” Replied the worker.
“Bring her in then. I’m too tired to go out.” Commanded Pussy.
“She has two friends with her along though, that ok?” Asked the worker.
“Are they girls?” Asked Z and Bulu simultaneously.
“Yes they are, and mighty fine, I might add.” Answered the worker.
“THEN BRING THEM IN!” Said Z with excitement.
Bulu did not care he was married at that time. It had been one year after he married Apple, and things started to become different, he stopped caring about his one-year old marriage. He started having second thoughts, he started, wanting more. 3 girls dressed in blue, red, and white shirts and black skirts came in.
“Oh my god, it’s you!” Said Pussy.
“Yeah, HI! See, told you girls I knew this band.” Holy told her friends.
“Wow, you’re like, the last person I would think of coming to a place like this!” Commented Pussy.
“Yeah, I really needed a break, I just finished my exams so.” Informed Holy.
“You know what, why don’t you 2 lovely girls come with us, and let these 2 catch up?!” Invited Z, and the 2 girls agreed. Bulu and Z went out with them smiling, their drummer, Mel, was sleeping soundly by the couch.
“Gosh, how long has it been since college?” Asked Holy.
“I don’t know, 2 years plus?” Suggested Pussy, and Holy agreed bluntly.
They were both talking like old lovers, they were something about that night, the two of them just seemed, perfect. What would have been more perfect was if, Pussy didn’t already have a steady lover. The intro to MIA started playing in Pussy’s pocket, his phone was ringing, he took it out, it said, “Baby calling”. She was calling her boyfriend, she missed her boyfriend. She was in Egypt doing graphics editing work with her company, and here her boyfriend was, having a flirtatious conversation with an old classmate, a female classmate. Pussy decided to not answer the phone call, and mentioned to Holy that the one calling, was a nobody.
They went out, both of them, each with an intention of getting drunk. Pussy needed a break, and so did Holy. They went to an open bar. The owner knew Pussy, the owner gave them bottomless liquor. Before they knew it, they were both drunk than ever.
“You know, I never knew you were…such an INTERESTING guy!” Commented Holy. She was way too drunk to be ethical.
“WELL, always was, you never noticed oni!” Replied Pussy.
“SO does the lead guitarist of a really famous band, have, a girlfriend?” Asked Holy. She did not even realize what she just asked. She did not even want to know.
“WELL…Not right now!” Answered Pussy smiling, and both of them started laughing out of the blue.
“GOOD ANSWER!” Said Holy.
They were staring into each others’ eyes. To them, it felt right, it felt short, it felt like forever. They were too drunk to comprehend what they were doing, they were too drunk to feel shy, they were too drunk, to be dishonest. Both of them said nothing, both of them did nothing but stare, until they got closer, and closer, and closer, and later, their lips touched slowly and willingly. They felt each others’ soft lips, and nothing else mattered. One thing led to the other. Before they knew it, they were in a 5-star hotel room, both dressed with only robes, and nothing more.
Both of them kind of knew what they were doing, but they could not stop it. They were half sane, and half insane. Pussy knew what he was doing was wrong. He was cheating on his steady lover, and Holy, was just too drunk to comprehend right or wrong.
“Z, you know where Pussy is?” Bulu asked Z. They were both at the park, having a nice walk with 2 of Holy’s friends.
“No idea man. I guess they went somewhere to PLAY.” Replied Z.
“Then maybeeee, we should play with each other as well.” Said Rozy, one of Holy’s friends.
“That is a good idea Daisy!” Commented Z.
“It’s Rozy.” Corrected Rozy.
“You wouldn’t mind that when we’re in bed, trust me.” Said Z with confidence.
That was basically their monthly lives. Tour around the continent, casual sex and dates, casual drinks and fun. They made more money than they could ever imagine with the band, they made more fans than they thought possible. Life was well for them, life was going great. Then again, they were at their peak.
“I love you.” Confessed the fully drunk Pussy to Holy. They were now both without clothes, under white sheets.
“I, love you too.” Replied Holy while smiling. It was not the innocent smile, nor the shy smile, or even the happy smile. It was the high that made her smile, but Pussy did not care, nor Holy. They were both too high and drunk to not consummate. Pussy got up, switched off the lights, and let the performance begin. Passion was presence, lust was definitely too, all that was left, was for the script to be carried out. Underneath it all, Pussy had forgotten the most important thing of all, he had forgotten, his protection.
The morning came much later than anticipated. The night was far too long to be remembered fully, but then again, they were drunk. The sun was beaming, being the annoying alarm for the drunk lovers. Pussy opened his eyes, and Holy was sleeping neatly under his arms. He frowned, trying to remember what exactly happened. His phone rang, he thought it was the first time that afternoon, but he soon found out that it was the 25th missed call, by his lover in Egypt. Pussy panicked, he was sweating as if he was the one in Egypt. He dialed Bulu’s number, and no one picked up. He did not realize that Bulu and Z had done the same thing that night, only difference was; they had protection.
Pussy was at lost, he wanted to call somebody, until somebody called him first. It was his girlfriend again, probably worried and missing him much more than ever. He picked up the call.
“Hello.” Said Pussy.
“Oh my god babe! What happened? Why weren’t you answering your calls?” Asked his lover.
“Well I-”
Before Pussy could finish, Holy was already awake, trying to comprehend what happened. After she did, her eyes were wide opened after finding out that both she and Pussy, were naked underneath tainted sheets. Pussy choked in the middle of his phone call. He knew what was coming, he knew what Holy was going to freak out.
“Baby?” Asked Pussy’s lover.
And before he could cover, Holy screeched as hard as she could, and after the 3-second screech, there was the awkward silent that could have lasted an instant and at the same time, forever. That was the moment of truth, that forever changed, Pussy’s life.
THE END
WILL WE EVER FIND OUT WHO PUSSYBERRY’S STEADY LOVER WAS? WILL PUSSYBERRY EVER GET BACK TOGETHER WITH HER? WILL HOLYBERRY EVER FORGIVE PUSSY? WILL WE EVER FIND OUT HOW PUSSYBERRY HID THE UNDERGROUND CHAPEL FROM HIS WIFE AFTER 1 YEAR OF MARRIAGE? WILL KITTYBERRY AND RIBENABERRY FINALLY HAVE A FIGHT?

The Berries' Dilemma S01 Ep10 - Until The Sun Rises
Episode 10 - Until The Sun Rises
Nobody knew how to learn to be mature, they just became mature, they just did. If it is anything, then age would be the one who taught them maturity. It was the chemical X that was needed to lead the family, it was the pillar to hold us. Nonetheless, we were all of the same age, we were all taught the same by time, but time consisted experience, and experience, differed between us Berries.
Some of us never experienced possible separation, they were just happy throughout the 2 years of marriage. Some of us were blinded by lust and various erotic sex positions. Some of us were blinded by money and jewelry and foreign butlers. Some of us, were trying to fall in love again. We all had the same teacher called time, but we went through different subjects in experience.
“WHAT?! You’re choosing THEM, over US?!” Asked Tiny Angrily.
“Yeah, why not?” Asked both Syaz and Belle.
“Didn’t you choose us because of our qualities? Our charisma, our confidence, our strength and our wisdom?” Asked Jizzy, filled with wit.
Syaz and Belle looked at each other, smiled and simultaneously said.
“No.”
“What?! Then why did you choose us in the first place?!” Asked Tiny.
“Because Jizzy was the richest among all back then, in fact I still think he’s the richest now. I thought because he owns Petronas, he should be able to lead this family well, but I guess I was wrong.” Explained Syaz.
“Then why them?! Straw can’t even wake up in the morning!” Said Jizzy.
“Oi! Just because I can’t-” I was cut by Syaz.
“It is simply because, they are the most stable ones here compared to you guys.” Explained Syaz once again.
“Stable?! They almost got a divorce! We are much more stable than them!” Now, Kitty was into the conversation.
“It’s BECAUSE they ALMOST got a divorce, is why I say that they are stable.” Syaz let out another shocking explanation.
Everyone kept quiet, probably because they were tired of arguing, or because they wanted to hear Syaz’s explanation on his definition of stability.
“Well, are you gonna explain what you mean by that or what?” Asked Jizzy.
“No. You should learn that by yourself. I can’t teach you, and even if I told you it wouldn’t make sense. This takes much experience to learn!” Preached Syaz with wit.
“Isn’t it simply because they are more experienced now that they have gone through hardship and possible separation? Isn’t that what you mean Syaz?” Asked Bulu simply and swiftly.
“Hmmm…Haha yeah, I guess it is just that simple.” Said Syaz, and everyone fell flat to the floor in the same manner like they did in anime.
“Anyways, I guess that settles it then. You guys are the new head of the family.” Informed Syaz.
“Wait a minute! We don’t agree to this!” Confessed Tiny angrily.
“Why not? You guys had your chance, and blew it!” Said Belle earnestly.
“Okay, we’re sorry, can we please have the baton again?! We won’t mess it up we promise!” Plead Tiny.
“Yeah, I promise to not let movies stop me from doing my responsibilities, even if the movie is…ZOMBI KAMPUNG PISANG.” Plead Jizzy.
“I’m sorry, but that is not possible.” Said Syaz
“No I promise I won’t watch Zombi Kampung Pisang!” Promised Jizzy.
“I’m not talking about that. I’m saying that handing the baton to you is not possible. Besides, this is a test for Straw and Smelly.” Informed Syaz.
“B! That was a secret!” Said Belle.
“It’s ok. Let’s see how those 2 fare in this test.” Syaz continued with a smile.
I looked at Smelly as she looked at me. We loved the idea, I could see the determination in her eyes. This could be the board for us to lay our jigsaw puzzle pieces on, for them to be completed, for our lives, to be organized.
“We won’t let anyone down.” I said with confidence. Smelly looked at me and assured everyone.
“Yeah, you can trust us in this, or me at least.” She was smiling when she said it too.
“Fine, whatever. Just blame yourself if anything goes wrong! Jizzy! We’re going back!” Commanded Tiny.
“O-Okay. Bye guys!” Wished Jizzy, and before anyone could comprehend what just happened, Tiny and Jizzy disappeared, leaving for their mansion.
“Is it okay for them to leave like that?” I asked bluntly.
“Don’t worry, Tiny’ll calm down in a few days.” Said Belle.
“I guess that’s about everything, you guys can go on ahead now, me and Belle are gonna have a little talk with Pussy.” Informed Syaz.
“Okie dokie, it was nice meeting you guys, see you all next time!” Wished Kitty, and he and his wife disappeared as fast as the ones before did.
Everyone was scattering about, everyone was deciding whether or not to get back. Everyone’s problem was somewhat solved for now, everything was out in the open, except for one.
“Pussy, let’s have a little talk, just you me, and my wife.” Said Syaz.
“Wait!” I halted, and everyone looked at me. “ I’m gonna be there for the talk too.” I confessed.
“Me too. Pussy was there for me most of the time, how can I leave him alone at a time like this?” Now Bulu was fired up.
Pussy smiled widely with a very sad expression, not because he was sad, but rather, because he was touched. Everyone that was there suddenly decided to stay and contribute anything at all, to aid Pussy. The night was getting darker and cooler, but no one was planning to surrender themselves to god just yet. Pussy needed help, and help was being given by the Berries.
“So how’s it going lately…With her?” Syaz asked slowly.
Pussy could not answer quickly, in fact he looked like he could not answer it at all. It was too painful, just the thought of his marriage was horrid.
“I think…I think it’s better if I divorce her…You know…I’ll support her financially, her and the child.” Said Pussy sadly. “It’s not like she needs my help or anything. She’s been doing everything alone without my help, and every time I try to lend her a helping hand, she refuses it…She despises me.” Continued Pussy.
“It’s not your fault she got pregnant man. Both of you were at fault, equally.” Said Bulu.
“Yea man, she was drunk, and so were you. Things, got out of hand, but you are not the one who should be blamed.” I continued.
“I know, but I still feel bad man…You should the way she looks at me. Filled with hatred man.” Replied Pussy.
“Doesn’t that turn you on?” Asked Syaz with a smile, and all of us laughed instantly and earnestly. It was a laugh that completely faded in 5 seconds.
“Just don’t blame yourself, and whatever you decide to do, we’re here for you.” Preached Smelly.
“That’s right, you have all the money in the world, and all you need is love and support. We can give you both!” Informed Apple. Pussy smiled widely, and tears started coming out from his dark eyes.
“OKAY, ANOTHER GROUP HUG!” Commanded Belle, and all of us got in for a hug. It was tighter than the one before, it was more honest and warming.
“Thanks guys, I think…I think I’ll divorce her…She doesn’t need me, she doesn’t even wanna look at me…I guess that’s the right thing to do.
“Up to you man. So how about…We all…Go…FOR L4D 4: Zoey’s Missing Bra?!” I suggested bluntly.
“It’s out already?!” Asked Syaz and Belle with shock.
“Not in Malaysia yet, but it’s out in America. We can go there for a quick trip with my private jet.” I offered.
“Just because you’re the head of the family now, does not mean you can brag about having jets, we got 3 jets okay!” Said Syaz and everyone smiled. We were tired, but we knew we could rest on the way there. We all looked at each other with a smile. We all were blissful after fixing our broken bridge, everyone, was ready to have fun, until the missing berry came in with her long black hair, blue robe, white hair band and a 6-months pregnant tummy.
“What’s going on here? And what on earth is a chapel doing underneath my house?! PUSSY?!”
And we all stopped smiling.
THE END
WILL PUSSY BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION SAFELY? WILL WE FIND OUT WHO THE MISSING BERRY IS? WILL WE EVER GET TO PLAY L4D 4: ZOEY’S MISSING BRA? WILL PEOPLE EVER STOP APPEARING AT THE END OF AN EPISODE? WILL ANGER EVER PERISHES IN THIS LOVELY FAMILY? FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF, THE BERRIES’ DILEMMA.
Nobody knew how to learn to be mature, they just became mature, they just did. If it is anything, then age would be the one who taught them maturity. It was the chemical X that was needed to lead the family, it was the pillar to hold us. Nonetheless, we were all of the same age, we were all taught the same by time, but time consisted experience, and experience, differed between us Berries.
Some of us never experienced possible separation, they were just happy throughout the 2 years of marriage. Some of us were blinded by lust and various erotic sex positions. Some of us were blinded by money and jewelry and foreign butlers. Some of us, were trying to fall in love again. We all had the same teacher called time, but we went through different subjects in experience.
“WHAT?! You’re choosing THEM, over US?!” Asked Tiny Angrily.
“Yeah, why not?” Asked both Syaz and Belle.
“Didn’t you choose us because of our qualities? Our charisma, our confidence, our strength and our wisdom?” Asked Jizzy, filled with wit.
Syaz and Belle looked at each other, smiled and simultaneously said.
“No.”
“What?! Then why did you choose us in the first place?!” Asked Tiny.
“Because Jizzy was the richest among all back then, in fact I still think he’s the richest now. I thought because he owns Petronas, he should be able to lead this family well, but I guess I was wrong.” Explained Syaz.
“Then why them?! Straw can’t even wake up in the morning!” Said Jizzy.
“Oi! Just because I can’t-” I was cut by Syaz.
“It is simply because, they are the most stable ones here compared to you guys.” Explained Syaz once again.
“Stable?! They almost got a divorce! We are much more stable than them!” Now, Kitty was into the conversation.
“It’s BECAUSE they ALMOST got a divorce, is why I say that they are stable.” Syaz let out another shocking explanation.
Everyone kept quiet, probably because they were tired of arguing, or because they wanted to hear Syaz’s explanation on his definition of stability.
“Well, are you gonna explain what you mean by that or what?” Asked Jizzy.
“No. You should learn that by yourself. I can’t teach you, and even if I told you it wouldn’t make sense. This takes much experience to learn!” Preached Syaz with wit.
“Isn’t it simply because they are more experienced now that they have gone through hardship and possible separation? Isn’t that what you mean Syaz?” Asked Bulu simply and swiftly.
“Hmmm…Haha yeah, I guess it is just that simple.” Said Syaz, and everyone fell flat to the floor in the same manner like they did in anime.
“Anyways, I guess that settles it then. You guys are the new head of the family.” Informed Syaz.
“Wait a minute! We don’t agree to this!” Confessed Tiny angrily.
“Why not? You guys had your chance, and blew it!” Said Belle earnestly.
“Okay, we’re sorry, can we please have the baton again?! We won’t mess it up we promise!” Plead Tiny.
“Yeah, I promise to not let movies stop me from doing my responsibilities, even if the movie is…ZOMBI KAMPUNG PISANG.” Plead Jizzy.
“I’m sorry, but that is not possible.” Said Syaz
“No I promise I won’t watch Zombi Kampung Pisang!” Promised Jizzy.
“I’m not talking about that. I’m saying that handing the baton to you is not possible. Besides, this is a test for Straw and Smelly.” Informed Syaz.
“B! That was a secret!” Said Belle.
“It’s ok. Let’s see how those 2 fare in this test.” Syaz continued with a smile.
I looked at Smelly as she looked at me. We loved the idea, I could see the determination in her eyes. This could be the board for us to lay our jigsaw puzzle pieces on, for them to be completed, for our lives, to be organized.
“We won’t let anyone down.” I said with confidence. Smelly looked at me and assured everyone.
“Yeah, you can trust us in this, or me at least.” She was smiling when she said it too.
“Fine, whatever. Just blame yourself if anything goes wrong! Jizzy! We’re going back!” Commanded Tiny.
“O-Okay. Bye guys!” Wished Jizzy, and before anyone could comprehend what just happened, Tiny and Jizzy disappeared, leaving for their mansion.
“Is it okay for them to leave like that?” I asked bluntly.
“Don’t worry, Tiny’ll calm down in a few days.” Said Belle.
“I guess that’s about everything, you guys can go on ahead now, me and Belle are gonna have a little talk with Pussy.” Informed Syaz.
“Okie dokie, it was nice meeting you guys, see you all next time!” Wished Kitty, and he and his wife disappeared as fast as the ones before did.
Everyone was scattering about, everyone was deciding whether or not to get back. Everyone’s problem was somewhat solved for now, everything was out in the open, except for one.
“Pussy, let’s have a little talk, just you me, and my wife.” Said Syaz.
“Wait!” I halted, and everyone looked at me. “ I’m gonna be there for the talk too.” I confessed.
“Me too. Pussy was there for me most of the time, how can I leave him alone at a time like this?” Now Bulu was fired up.
Pussy smiled widely with a very sad expression, not because he was sad, but rather, because he was touched. Everyone that was there suddenly decided to stay and contribute anything at all, to aid Pussy. The night was getting darker and cooler, but no one was planning to surrender themselves to god just yet. Pussy needed help, and help was being given by the Berries.
“So how’s it going lately…With her?” Syaz asked slowly.
Pussy could not answer quickly, in fact he looked like he could not answer it at all. It was too painful, just the thought of his marriage was horrid.
“I think…I think it’s better if I divorce her…You know…I’ll support her financially, her and the child.” Said Pussy sadly. “It’s not like she needs my help or anything. She’s been doing everything alone without my help, and every time I try to lend her a helping hand, she refuses it…She despises me.” Continued Pussy.
“It’s not your fault she got pregnant man. Both of you were at fault, equally.” Said Bulu.
“Yea man, she was drunk, and so were you. Things, got out of hand, but you are not the one who should be blamed.” I continued.
“I know, but I still feel bad man…You should the way she looks at me. Filled with hatred man.” Replied Pussy.
“Doesn’t that turn you on?” Asked Syaz with a smile, and all of us laughed instantly and earnestly. It was a laugh that completely faded in 5 seconds.
“Just don’t blame yourself, and whatever you decide to do, we’re here for you.” Preached Smelly.
“That’s right, you have all the money in the world, and all you need is love and support. We can give you both!” Informed Apple. Pussy smiled widely, and tears started coming out from his dark eyes.
“OKAY, ANOTHER GROUP HUG!” Commanded Belle, and all of us got in for a hug. It was tighter than the one before, it was more honest and warming.
“Thanks guys, I think…I think I’ll divorce her…She doesn’t need me, she doesn’t even wanna look at me…I guess that’s the right thing to do.
“Up to you man. So how about…We all…Go…FOR L4D 4: Zoey’s Missing Bra?!” I suggested bluntly.
“It’s out already?!” Asked Syaz and Belle with shock.
“Not in Malaysia yet, but it’s out in America. We can go there for a quick trip with my private jet.” I offered.
“Just because you’re the head of the family now, does not mean you can brag about having jets, we got 3 jets okay!” Said Syaz and everyone smiled. We were tired, but we knew we could rest on the way there. We all looked at each other with a smile. We all were blissful after fixing our broken bridge, everyone, was ready to have fun, until the missing berry came in with her long black hair, blue robe, white hair band and a 6-months pregnant tummy.
“What’s going on here? And what on earth is a chapel doing underneath my house?! PUSSY?!”
And we all stopped smiling.

The Berries' Dilemma S01 Ep09 - Half a Star For Maturity, Patience and Loyalty
Episode 9 - Half a Star For Maturity, Patience and Loyalty
Why was it that every time we decided to do something bad, we always thought that we could get away with it, or at the very least, fix it. Every evil deed we did, we always thought that we could fix it. Stealing a gum from a convenient store, copying in exams, bringing illegal items to school, why was it, that we thought everything was fixable?…Heck, I thought I could be forgiven for wanting a divorce, from both Bulu and Smelly. We all thought every evil deed had forgiveness, every hole could be fix, every void could be filled.
We thought of many things that night before we talked in the underground chapel. We thought of forgiveness, of rebirth, of fixing. I thought I could fix it when I made the annulment papers, I thought I could be forgiven. Apple thought she could get away with wanting to marry me, with Bulu’s ignorance of her presence and love as an excuse. Bulu thought he could fix his broken heart with lust. Jizzy and Tiny thought they could be forgiven for not leading the family responsibly. Pussy thought he could make amends for his little accident with Holy by building an underground chapel. We all thought we could fix every mistake we made. Maybe that was why we made them in the first place, maybe that was why, we messed up.
“Hmm, Baby, method A, B or C?” Asked Syazzy.
“Hmm…Well…Judging by these puppies’ troubled faces…B!” Suggested Belle.
“All right then! Since all this started with your divorce plan, Straw! You and your wife, right this way” Invited Syaz. He pointed to the bench right beside him. “Oh, and the rest of you, for now, sit down, close and your eyes…and think of what you’ve done wrong…” Continued Syaz.
Smelly and I walked to the bench Syaz pointed out, and the four of us, including Belle, sat down with tension of politicians. We sat slowly, and awkwardly. Smelly was still showing her hatred towards me, and I could feel every tiny bit of the purple aura.
“Now tell me man, what the hell went wrong?” Asked Syaz politely.
“…I wish I knew…” I replied faintly.
“Isn’t it obvious?! You got bored with me!” Said Smelly angrily.
“What? How could you say that when you are the one who’s rarely home?!” I replied with the same amount of anger, maybe even more.
“It’s not like I’m off wandering around being a hooligan! You know I am not the type who would abandon her responsibilities to go off partying and all!” Replied Smelly.
“OH?! Never abandoned your responsibility?! What about your husband who is always dead bored at home, having regular chats with his goldfish and anonymous people in chatrooms?!”
“Unlike you, I HAVE to be out most of the time! I’m doing this for us!”
“For us?! If all your work is for us then you know what! Stop it! Okay! I don’t need it!” I said in anger. I didn’t even know what I was saying, I didn’t even mean it.
“This is my dream! Whatever happened to ‘Your dream is my dream too’?!” Asked Smelly.
“Feels good to talk in the open doesn’t it?” Asked Belle out of the blue, and both me and Smelly, could only look at her in awe.
“What is it that both of you are lacking here? Straw, you write about life in your book, why not share some of your intel in this?” Asked Belle as politely as Syaz did. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, opened them, only to find out that Smelly had turned around to ignore what I was going to say, but I knew she was listening, I knew deep down somewhere, that she was still the same girl I married 2 years ago.
“I guess…Somewhere along the line, both of us, got immature, and impatient…We stopped talking to each other about what matters, and we got impatient with each others’ problems and needs…And our loyalty went disarrayed.” I confessed bluntly. After 5 seconds or so, Smelly turned around, and finally speaking to me normally.
“You never told me all this…” Said Smelly.
“I know you’re busy with work, and I know that sometimes, I can get very impatient about your problems, but you have to know, that I am very well aware of the mistakes I’ve been doing…All the crap that I’ve been saying for the past year, all the things that I didn’t say to you, things that you wanted to hear…I realize all those.” I continued part II of my confession.
“Then why?…” Asked Smelly curiously.
“I guess, I mess up, because I want assurance that you still care about me, about us. I know that men are not supposed to be insecure, but how can I not be insecure when you are an angel flying too close to the ground?” She smiled at me, remembering the song by Willie Nelson I played to her during our first year’s anniversary. I looked at her, and her eyes said it all. That very moment, when tears started sliding from both hers and my eyes, I knew that, we were in love again. The typical sad yet blissful tunes from bands like ‘Noah and The Whales’, filled with piano and violin, started playing in my head. The sky was finally blue again, clouds white, love red, and hearts, both hers and mine, beating stronger, louder, playing the chords of love.
“So all in all everything was just a, misunderstanding?” Asked Syaz bluntly.
“B! Shut up they’re having a good mood on here!” Shushed Belle.
We had absolutely forgotten where we were, or why we were there, but nothing mattered, time seemed to have stopped let us appreciate the goodness in everything, love seemed to have the ability to make everything seemed, right and perfect.
“Okay okay, let’s continue part II of this meeting!” Suggested Syaz.
“Next up is…Bulu I guess.” Whispered Belle.
“Bulu! Yea you who can’t walk properly!” Shouted Syaz.
“Oi! Babi kauuu…” Cursed Bulu.
Everyone was now standing in a messed-up circle, including me and my wife. Everyone started smiling when they noticed that one problem was fixed, everyone had the confidence that happiness, was coming.
“Bulu, I know that what you are going through, is personal, but…For your case, we need you to tell everyone here, what you came here to tell.” Informed Syaz. Bulu was shocked when Syaz said it. He did not tell Syaz that he was going to confess his true feelings today. He could only smile to Syaz’s extreme observation skill.
“First of all, I should not even be here, cos according to my doctor, Kevin Iron Bates-” Bulu was cut.
“WHAT?! Kevin from our foundation?!” Asked Jizzy loudly.
“Yeah man, I was shocked too, and he changed his name to Kevin IRON Bates!” Informed Bulu loudly and clearly. Comments like ‘Impressive!’ ‘I knew he could do it’ could be heard being juggled by the Berries, not because he became a doctor, but because he had significantly improved his already impressive name. “ANYWAYS, I have something to tell Apple, and, I think I should be manly enough to let everyone know this mistake I have done.” Everyone kept silent for about 5 seconds before Bulu started talking again.
“After all these years, I thought that I was over it, I thought I would be happy with Apple, but I was wrong.” Bulu started his speech, and Pussy gasped as hard as he could. “WAIT LA that’s not the shocking part!” Scolded Bulu. “The truth is…I’m still in love with her, okay, that girl...” Continued Bulu. He knew that as a family he did not need to tell who, as a family, everyone should know who Bulu was refering to. “I guess, I got married with Apple, out of lust, instead of love…”
There it was again, the utter silence, the annoying and awkward silence that put everyone in awe, or rather, the silence that put everyone in a situation where no word could fill the void that was presence, nothing could have been said to make this situation better, no joke was appropriate to fix this broken atmosphere.
“I guess, I realized it too, you know.” Apple broke the silence about thirty seconds later. “I kinda realized how Bulu looked at me after a few months…But, I guess part of it, was my fault too…But, at the very least, Bulu has shown us how loyal a guy can be, right?…” Said Apple faintly, she was choking up, she was about to cry, but Mush was there to hug her and at least extend her inevitable tears from pouring out. Bulu walked slowly to Apple, with a very sad look on his face.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for this to happen.” Apologized Bulu.
“It’s okay, we had a good run.” Apple said with a smile that was covered with tears.
“Okay okay, family hug!” Suggested Belle, and everyone did. We got into a big, perfect circle, held each other tightly, proving security and comfort, and warmth among the family.
“Now, we have, Jizzy and Tiny.” Said Syazzy.
“OH SHIT! I knew they weren’t going to let us get away with this!” Whispered Tiny to Jizzy.
“Dun worry, I got this covered.” Assured Jizzy. “What’s up Syaz? My brother!” Said Jizzy awkwardly, and Belle gave this huge smile that was both sarcastic and honest.
“I gave you guys the baton to lead this family 6 months ago, and how could this have happened?” Asked Syazzy.
“Well…Actually it’s the timing wei. After you guys left, honeymoon period was over, the fighting period was present what! No fair la.” Jizzy gave his honest excuse.
“Okay fine, but what were you doing when all this was happening?” Asked Belle.
“Well you see…I didn’t really know that this problem was occurring.” Said Jizzy.
“WHAT?! Jizzy! That’s not something you should say!” Whispered Tiny angrily.
“It’s the truth! Sorry I got nothing else!” Whispered Jizzy.
“SO you weren’t aware of this problem in the first place?!” Asked Belle with an angrier tone.
“Sorry Boss, I was too excited and caught up with Zombi Kampung Pisang 2...I was reading the synopsis and repeating the trailer over and over again before I found out about this…How could I not? It’s the Zombi’s REVENGE!” Said Jizzy emotionally.
“How could you let a movie keep you from being responsible on your own-” Belle was cut.
“Baby that’s enough. I can fix this.” Said Syazzy. Everyone was anticipating what Syazzy was going to say. Some of them anticipated that Jizzy and Tiny were going to get fired, while some thought that Syazzy was going to forgive them or rather, punish them leniently.
“Straw!” Syazzy said loudly while looking at me.
“Ye-Yes?” I answered nervously.
“You and your wife are in charge now. The baton is yours.” Said Syaz.
THE END
WILL STRAWBERRY AND SMELLYBERRY LEAD THE FAMILY WELL? WILL JIZZYBERRY AND TINYBERRY ACCEPT THIS TWIST OF FATE? WILL WE EVER FIND OUT WHO BULU’S SECRET LOVE IS? WILL APPLEBERRIE FINALLY GET TO EXPERIENCE TRUE LOVE? WILL PUSSYBERRY GET HIS PROBLEM FIXED HERE? WILL PUSSYBERRY’S MYSTERIOUS AND ACCIDENTAL WEDDING EVER BE REVEALED?

The Berries' Dilemma S01 Ep08 - Showdown In Chinatown
Episode 8 - Showdown In Chinatown
It was always funny whenever we thought of the countless things we said that we didn’t mean, countless things we did that we could never take back, countless hearts we broke without even realizing it, and these things often happened when we were enraged, or sad, or dissapointed. We grew up, learning what maturity, patience and loyalty was all about, and yet even after all the hardships that we experienced, examples shown in reality and fantasy, we still could not escape from being the opposite of what we were taught to practice. I never meant to divorce my wife and got together with Bulu's wife. I never meant to influence Apple to hurt Bulu. Apple never meant to hurt Bulu when she asked for divorce. Bulu never meant to hurt Apple when he confessed about his love. Pussy never meant to hurt Holyberry when he accidently impregnated her.Life had always held this ability to keep you from being the person you yourself or any other soul or witty people told you to, and that reason itself made it worth trying, because the moment you were able to defy the twisted fate, and become the person you wanted to be, then that achievement alone was worth bragging.
We, the Berries, had always believed that we were all destined for greatness, no matter how doomed some situations might get, or how gloomy things became, we always believed that we could get through it, through anything, until now.
Bulu woke up after sleeping with tears, wondering the time and day it was. He forced himself to locate his mobile. He thought he was alone, until Mush’s hand reached out and grabbed the mobile first. Mush handed it to his injured father, who took it without saying a word. It was precisely 12 in the afternoon, much later than he could ever imagined. Both of them were silent and still for 5 long minutes, and the silence was broken out of the blue when the door was opened.
“You guys got the message?” Asked Pussy as soon as he entered the room.
“What message?”Asked Bulu, ignorant and curious.
“Family meeting tonight at 8.” Informed Mush.
“Could you tell Syaz and Belle I won’t be able to make it?” Requested Pussy.
“Why not?” Asked Bulu.
Pussy’s face turned gloomy. He wanted to tell him the truth, he had always trusted Bulu more than the other berries.
“I just, I just can’t do this right now. You know. Family meeting and all that…” Said Pussy faintly.
“And you think I want to do this?” Asked Bulu
Pussy and Mush both could only smile. They knew what was going to happen. Pussy was not going to come, but Bulu was. Bulu wanted to sort everything out. He wanted to tell everyone the truth, or rather, he wanted to tell Syaz the truth, the truth about the love of his life.
Jizzy was reading the day’s newspaper with a cup of coffee in front of him. His wife Tiny, still in her robe, came to him, looking like she had something to say. She sat down next to him, preparing her speech.
“What do you think is going to happen tonight?” Asked Tiny nervously.
“Hmmm?” He made the sound whilst flipping through the sports section.
“After yesterday, Syaz and Belle would surely have something to comment about our way of leading things!” Commented Tiny.
“Wait aaaa, lemme finish reading this…Looks like Alex Ferguson is still not quitting his job, that old guy.” Said Jizzy while smirking.
“JIZZY!” Screeched Tiny, and Cristiano shrugged in fear.
“What?! Aiyo why you shouting so early in the morning?!” Asked the angry Jizzy.
“Why are you being so insensitive about this?! And it’s almost 1 in the afternoon! GOD! This is all Straw’s bad influence!” Scolded Tiny.
“ACHOO!” I sneezed out of the blue.
“Apple must be missing you.” Said Smelly after giving me the assassin stare.
I sighed disappointedly. I thought she would have forgotten or at least decided to forgiven me, but by that comment, that wish had completely disappeared from my silly head. I took a sip of the red syrup I made while looking at my wife. Even during lunch, she still showed her angry heart.
“Honey, please enough already…I’m sorry all right.” I apologized for the thousandth time.
“Well sorry’s not good enough. I’m going out after this.” Informed Smelly.
“What? We have a family meeting tonight!” I reminded her.
“Yeah I know. It’s at night, and I’m going out now.” She corrected me rudely.
“Well where are you going?” I asked.
“None of your business. And unlike someone, I won’t go and have lunch with my college sweetheart and conspire to get married behind my partner’s back!” She said rudely and left the house quicker than anyone could say ‘Fuck me hard from behind’.
The two happiest and most carefree Berries were feeding each other pancakes after their main course. They laughed about the littlest things and frowned about the most feeble of events.
“You think we should go to the family meeting tonight?” Asked Kitty.
“Duh! Even though we are not the ones causing problems, we are still part of the family.” Said Ribena.
“Hmm, Syaz looked quite angry yesterday.” Said Kitty while wondering how the meeting was going to happen.
“I bet Syaz is going to scold Straw and Apple.” Suggested Ribena.
“Yea I think so too. Poor Smelly and Bulu.” Commented Kitty.
“That’s why! They didn’t do anything wrong and look what happened!” Said Ribena.
“That’s why we should have them over for a foursome!” Suggested Kitty who was currently filled with lust. Ribena could only laughed while feeding her husband more pancake.
The doctor, Mr Kevin Iron Bates, was scolding Bulu for the hundredth time for him wanting to leave the night for the family meeting.
“Like I was saying Kevin Iron Bates, this meeting is important and I really have to go!” Explained Bulu.
“But you are in no condition to leave the hospital my reckless patient.” Said Kevin as if he was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
“Alamak…This is serious doctor, don’t worry! I’ll take it easy!” Assured Bulu.
“You are one stubborn patient you know that! Just like Anakin Sykwalker!” Now, he thought he WAS Obi-Wan.
“Pretty pleasee?! How about, I get you something on my way back. I’ll get you anything you want!” Complotted Bulu.
“How many times do I have to- Wait, anything?!..HMMM…okay, don’t tell anyone I requested this but er…”
Kevin whispered his order to Bulu without letting anyone hear. Bulu could not believe his request as it was not only out of the norm, it was overwhelmingly embarassing. Kevin unabashedly asked Bulu to stay quiet about the request, and Bulu nodded in disbelief. Bulu packed some of his stuff, called Mush and requested aid for him to meet up for the meeting. He almost forgotten to tell Syaz of Pussy’s future absence, and before he could forget about it again, he decided to dial Syaz.
“Hey man, about tonight’s meeting, Pussy won’t be able to make it tonight.”
“Huh? Why not?” Asked Syaz curiously.
“He said he had some stuff to do.” Lied Bulu.
“Oh…Hmmm…One sec.” Syaz asked Bulu to hold on. Bulu could hear Belle faintly over the phone, having a conversation with Syaz. “Eh, you have the keys to Pussy’s house right?” Asked Syaz.
“Err, I think I-”
“EH DUN LIE AH I KNOW YOU HAVE IT HIHIHI” Belle shouted and cut in before Bulu could finish.
“EH DUN LA! I wanted to see if he was going to lie!” Scolded Syaz.
“KURANG AJAR! Damn you guys!” Scolded Bulu while laughing.
“Allright, so here’s the plan.” Said Syaz.
Minutes later, every Berry except for Pussy received a text message from Syaz. It was all in capital.
‘SHOWDOWN IN CHINATOWN’
All of the Berries understood what it meant. All of us were well aware of the inside joke that Pussy had with Chinatown. We did not question nor wonder about why the venue was suddenly changed, we could only obey.
Night came by quicker than any of us could imagine, quicker than any of us wanted. Cars were que-ing up already as soon as I parked my Porsche in one of the hundreds parking lots in front of Pussy’s bungalow. I came alone, I came prepared. I could see Mush and Bulu at the entrance.
“Where are the rest?” I asked Bulu.
“Waiting by the park for you and Apple to arrive.” Answered Mush, Bulu ignored me.
Apple arrived precisely a minute after I did.
“What a coincidence, looks like you guys are meant to be!” Commented Bulu sarcastically to me.
“Aww cmon man. I’m sorry. It was an honest mistake.” I apologized.
“Sigh, I trusted you man. I trusted that you weren’t going to go for Apple after you guys broken up.” Confessed Bulu.
“I know…And I’m sorry…” I apologized again.
“We’ll talk about it later la…” Suggested Bulu.
Mush, Bulu, Apple and I walked to the park at the right side of the house. Every Berry except for Pussy and his wife were waiting. By the look of things, the ones who were not there were not aware of the sudden change of plans. The park was decorated perfectly with cut grass, sunflowers and fountains. The Berries were sitting on the readied benches, and when they saw us walking to them, they stood up, getting ready for the showdown.
“All right, now that all of us are here. Bulu, if you would” Qued Syaz. That was his cue to open the door and barge in.
Bulu took out the keys and unlocked the door, and the rest of us entered with haste. Smelly was there, looking as angry and beautiful as ever. She was the only one that caught my attention, she was the only one, or rather, the most important person to get forgiveness from. The interior entrance of the house was filled with crosses and Christian related statues. Everything was white, everything was clean, and everything was not to be touched, warned Syaz. Bulu guided us to the entrance of the underground chapel that Pussy had been building. By the look of things, Pussy was not in the house. Bulu opened the wooden door that was stuck on the ground. It was camouflaged as if it was just a rug. The door led us to a long spiral hallway that was lit with candles and lanterns. We walked down quickly. Everyone had the same thought. IT’S THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS!
The surface or rather, the underground chapel was not as deep as it looked. We were amazed after witnessing the hand-made chapel done by Pussy over a year. It was like a real church, only underground and mostly wooden. Between the hundreds benches, sat Pussy, alone and sad. He turned around and was shocked after realizing our sudden intrusion.
“Since you could not come to the meeting, we decided to bring the meeting to you.” Said Syaz. “NOW, let’s talk.”
THE END
WILL THE MEETING FIX THIS BROKEN FAMILY? WILL STRAWBERRY BE FORGIVEN FOR ALL THIS? WILL STRAWBERRY AND APPLEBERRIE GET ALL THE BLAME FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED? WILL WE EVER FIND OUT WHAT KEVIN IRON BATES ORDERED? WILL KITTYBERRY AND RIBENABERRY EVER GET THEMSELVES INTO TROUBLES? WILL SMELLYBERRY STOP BEING ANGRY ALREADY?! FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF, THE BERRIES’ DILEMMA
It was always funny whenever we thought of the countless things we said that we didn’t mean, countless things we did that we could never take back, countless hearts we broke without even realizing it, and these things often happened when we were enraged, or sad, or dissapointed. We grew up, learning what maturity, patience and loyalty was all about, and yet even after all the hardships that we experienced, examples shown in reality and fantasy, we still could not escape from being the opposite of what we were taught to practice. I never meant to divorce my wife and got together with Bulu's wife. I never meant to influence Apple to hurt Bulu. Apple never meant to hurt Bulu when she asked for divorce. Bulu never meant to hurt Apple when he confessed about his love. Pussy never meant to hurt Holyberry when he accidently impregnated her.Life had always held this ability to keep you from being the person you yourself or any other soul or witty people told you to, and that reason itself made it worth trying, because the moment you were able to defy the twisted fate, and become the person you wanted to be, then that achievement alone was worth bragging.

“And you think I want to do this?” Asked Bulu

The Berries's Dilemma S01 Ep07 - With Loaded Guns, We Pray
Episode 7 – With Loaded Guns, We Pray
There was a time in everyone’s life that seemed perfect, a period of time when we were all people who we wished to be, people we wanted to become, and for most of their lives, they looked back, thinking about the kind of person that led them to those glorious moments. They wished they could remember, they wished they could once again turn to that person, and achieve glory once again. Every good thing came to an end; it was just another nature of life. Every heartbeat stopped, every song ended, every smile faded, every love perished, but there was never a soul who said that we should not enjoy them despite knowing these sweet things were going to end someday. When these glorious moments ended, people just loved to take a look back, wishing and imagining to be evolved to that person again, instead of actually doing something to change the sad fact.
The Berries were no different. We all looked back to our glorious moments that night in the mansion, and that night in the hospital room 666. We all wished that we were in love again, happy again, triumphant again, but we knew too well that the people we were when the Berry family was born, the people we were after we had fallen in love, were people who we would now, never be again. Things changed, people changed, the Berries changed, and there was nothing we could do but reminisce, and feel vain. I was now never going to be as inspired as I was after college, Smelly knew she was never going to be as responsible and caring and loving as she was before, Bulu knew that he could never be the same Bulu who had always listened to his heart, and not his lust, Pussy knew that he could never be as free as before when he got married by accident. Some of us had problems, some of us were still happy, and to get through it all, we just needed to be reminded of the most important things in life.
The drama had ended that night, we were finally leaving the dining hall hours after Apple and Mush had left. The males apologized for not being grateful, and the females only laughed. It was precisely 4 in the morning, and none of us were sleepy. We were too caught up with the fact that the family was never going to be the same again, we had finally realized that we were blinded by our fame, our money, and our lust. We were all standing at the door, exchanging the current goodbyes that were guaranteed to not last long.
“I’m sorry for everything...I feel bad about it...But, no matter what, I know we’ll get through this.” I apologized to everyone as earnest as a man could.
“We should visit Bulu together tomorrow and surprise him...Let’s just hope he’s all right.” Commented Smelly.
“Thanks for a lovely dinner grandpa Jizzy, and welcome home granny Tiny.” Wished Kitty, followed by his wife Ribena.
I smiled at everyone, and they did with the others, except for Smelly. She clearly had not forgotten nor forgiven me for my bad judgement. We were ready to end the night, we were ready to go back home and think hard about what just happened, but we were all given a hell of a surprise. A familiar car rushed by seconds before we got into ours. It was a ridiculously long black limo, tinted 100% black at every window(except for the wind shield). “5YaZ n B3LLe” was the car’s golden and shining plate number. We were too shocked to move when we saw the plate number.
“Holy shit.” I said.
“Oh my god.” Smelly commented.
“God Damn.” Kitty said.
“No way.” Ribena said in disbelief.
“Sweet mother of prawn.” Said Jizzy slowly.
“AIHAHAHAKIKI” Screeched Cristiano out of excitement.
The limo stopped right in front of us. Our hearts were beating harder than ever. We knew the people at the back of the limo all too well. They were the couple we all looked up to, the couple that led us, the couple that burned bright together, the couple that acted as our mentor for the first two years. Their Italian butler, Alexendro, opened the door slowly. Syazzy stomped his right foot out of the car with normal speed, but to our eyes he was doing it in slow motion. He got out of the car, wearing a black suit paired with perfect black aviator. I was laughing on the inside, thinking that some peple might have thought that he was blind; wearing an aviator in the middle of the night, but I knew too well that that was not the reason. It was perfectly clear to us after knowing them for years; they had too much to drink the day before. Syazzy looked up, as if smelling the air, smelling the grass, but I guessed he did it just to look cool. Seconds later, Isaberry, our model wife, came out of the car with a white dress paired with gold accessories. I could only smile after witnessing their luxury outlook. Syazzy put his right arm around his wife, and both of them smiled whilst walking towards us. They were both standing in the middle of our broken line, looking at us one by one, or rather, judging our looks to give them an idea of the loop hole we were in.
“You guys look… Terrible!” Said Syazzy.
“Worse than us who’s had way, too much to drink” Continued Belle, AKA Isaberry.”
“Yeah well, it hasn’t been a good night.” I gave an excuse, which was actually the truth.
“So I’ve heard…Seriously. what the hell is wrong with you guys!” Said Syazzy loudly. It sounded as if he was scolding us, but he was too much of a joker to do it, to us at least.
“Don’t act like we don’t know anything or you’ll be making a mistake!” Warned Belle.
“Look, It’s great seeing you guys, seriously, but could we talk in the morning, I er-” I was cut before I could continue.
“He needs to go and divorce his wife.” Cut Smelly. “It was great seeing you Syaz, and Belle, I’ll see you guys in the morning, I got to go.” Smelly said, smiled, and got into her car, and before anyone could make a sound, she left with haste with her pink Ferrari.
There was not much said after my wife left, they were just informal greetings and dishonest goodbyes and Syaz giving an earnest warning.
“I don’t really know why everything is turning out this way, but you guys better pray that this is fixable, otherwise, there’s gonna be hell to pay. FIX IT! I’ll be watching you guys.”
There was nothing good about that night other than Syaz and Belle coming to visit us. Misjudgements and an accident had happened that night, changes, happened that night.
Every nurse that past by gave them an awkward look. Seven beautiful and flirtatious blondes were surrounding three gentlemen obscenely and honestly, and yet, each of them had sour expressions. Z and Pussy knew too well what Bulu was going to tell Apple. Both of them were afraid that Apple could not handle it, they were petrified just thinking about what Apple would do the second she finds out about the truth.
“I really hope that…You can take this calmly…and strongly…” Warned Bulu.
“All right…I promise…” Promised Apple while swallowing her saliva and
inevitably sweating.
“Over these past few years…I’ve changed…Physically…and mentally…” Said Bulu slowly, and Apple could only listen. “But, there are also things that could never change…things like…Love…”
There it was. The biggest hint to what Bulu was going to say. Apple had multiple guesses, she had hoped that Bulu was going to say that his love for her did not change, but that was impossible.
“My love…For someone…Has not changed…” Hinted Bulu.
“So that’s it huh…I knew something was not right…” She said while smiling sarcastically. “After all this years, after all the sex and extremely dirty
talks…You still love her…” Said Apple. She knew too well who Bulu meant when he confessed, but she still waited for Bulu to say it, waiting for that single, literal confession.
“I love you Apple, but, I love her more.” Bulu confessed literally, and simply.
Apple looked down. Tears were bursting out of her pupils by force. Her heart was beating faster and stronger than ever in a very dark way.
“I…knew of this…I had a feeling…That you had always….always…loved her…” Said Apple while choking between 3 to 4 words that she said.
“I’m sorry…I truly am. I didn’t mean for this to happen…It just…it just does.” Bulu tried to calm Apple down, but he knew it was useless.
She could not take it anymore. Apple looked at Bulu for the last time of the day, and stormed out of the room, running in tears. Mush realized this happened despite being occupied with 2 beautiful blondes. He got up and ran after his mother. Z and Pussy looked at each other, and went into the room.
“You did what you had to do.” Said Z.
Bulu too, was tearing, and Z and Pussy left the room as quick as they came, leaving Bulu to sort his own feelings.
The sun rose harshly. It was unwelcome to us all Berries. We did not want to face the day. We did not want the night to end, because as soon as the sun rose from its ironical fall, the Berries were bound to start doing something to fix their broken family. A message was sent to all of us, it was by Syaz.
Family meeting at the usual, 8 PM, DON’T BE LATE, AND I MEAN YOU STRAW
We all felt the same about the message. One, we all knew I was bad with being on time, and two, we all felt lazy and not wanting to do something about this. Everything happened to quickly for us to suddenly get up and fix everything. We were not ready to be hit by this hurricanne, but none of us could stand up to Syaz and Belle, for they had always been our leader, even though they had past the baton to Jizzy and Tiny six months ago.
I got out of the bed, tilted my head leftward. My wife was sleeping, it was one of those rare days, as rare as an eclipse, that she was home for the night. I walked to our living room, wished a good morning to my goldfish, and sat on the couch. I tried thinking hard about tonight. This was serious, I knew it was serious when Syaz and Belle flew to Malaysia from Istanbul. I thought of the possible way to fully receive my wife’s forgiveness. I thought about whether I still loved her as I did back then. I thought of many serious matters, I thought about life.
THE END
WILL APPLEBERRIE BE STRONG ENOUGH TO GET UP FROM THIS FALL? WILL SMELLYBERRY EVER FORGIVE STRAWBERRY? WILL STRAWBERRY BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A GRAND APOLOGY? WILL BULUBERRY EVER MEET HIS LOST LONG LOVE? WILL WE EVER FIND OUT WHO BULU'S (LLL)LONG LOST LOVE IS? WILL MUSHBERRY BE ABLE TO CATCH UP TO APPLEBERRIE WHO USED TO BE A SPRINTER? WILL SYAZZYBERRY AND ISABERRY CONVINCE THE FAMILY TO BE STRONGER AND WISER? WILL JIZZYBERRY AND TINYBERRY GET FIRED FROM THEIR POSITION AS HEAD OF THE FAMILY? FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF, THE BERRIES’ DILEMMA.

The Berries' Dilemma S01 Ep06 - Fixing This Once Golden Bridge
Previously on the Berries' Dilemma
“Honey, you’re back!” Said Jizzy, quickly throwing the bread and butter he was holding.
“I came home earlier than expected, only to find hooliganism being practiced in my hall. What in the world is going on here?! STRAW?!” Scolded Tiny, while glaring at me with every intention of harm.
“Thank god you’re back! Straw was going to divorce Smelly.” Ribena foolishly informed Tiny.
“WHAT?!” Screeched Tiny, and I knew, doomsday was near.
“Hello.” I picked it up, and lifted a high five, asking them to wait.
“Good evening, is this a relative of Mr. Imran AKA Buluberry?” Asked a friendly female voice.
“Oh no, Look if you’re pregnant with his child then I’m not going to help him again, I’m sorry, Paris Hilton was the last draw.” I said with my eyes closed, for I was truly sorry.
“And where are you running to?” Asked Tiny sarcastically.
“The hospital, Bulu was involved in an accident.” I said with haste, turned around and walked.
“You are not going anywhere boy!” Scolded Tiny.
"What would Syazzy and Isaberry say about this..."
Episode 6 - Fixing This Once Golden Bridge
Millions of people around the world were moving, trying to build something, trying to produce something, trying to achieve something. More than half of that portion were doing all of it, for money, and more than half of them, were finding money for people other than themselves. Making money was a goal. To some, it was a life time goal, where the most important thing was for them to gain the most profit out of anything they did, even if it meant crossing lines. To some, it was just one of the important things in life, something they needed to do, something they just had to do, and to some, money just was a need for survival, never for luxuries. Money was always important to everyone, but the value of its importance, that was a different story. To the Berries, money was just their current and common goal after marriage. They had found love in each other just 6 months after college ended, so all that was left, was money.
Things changed years later, things grew bitter, sweeter, and sour. I made millions right after publishing the second volume of my novel, and that only took precisely four years after college. My wife, Smelly, created her own talk show, JQTV, and it became a big hit faster than I could learn basic guitar. Pussy and Bulu’s first album, Respect, Faith, Trust, Loyalty became platinum right off the bat, thanks to their hit single, ‘Now I’m Here’. Apple started her own dance school nearby. She did not earn as much as the other Berries did, but she loved her job better than others. Kitty was known as the fresh talent in directing shortly after college, with his wife Ribena nearby as his secretary. We all made more money than we could ever imagine, and we were never happier, for a while. Who said it was always sunny in a rich man’s world?
“We should, continue this some other time, right now, we should go visit Bulu.” I said after a long pause.
“The visiting hour is over, we should do it tomorrow instead.” Corrected Smelly.
“Why is this happening at such a bad time...” Said Kitty, finally voicing his opinion.
“Well MAYBE, it’s because Grandad Jizzy hired CRISTIANO here, from Portugal!” I said bluntly.
“What?!What’s wrong with my butler?! Eh he’s great okay!” Scolded Jizzy.
“Oh no, there’s nothing wrong with his work, but his name and where he is from reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo, and I do NOT like him!” I shouted.
Before Jizzy could even reply, the door was fiercely bashed. It was Cristiano the butler, barging in.
“YOU DON TALK BAD ABOUT CRISTIANO RONALDO, YOU BUFFON!” Scolded Cristiano. He was clearly a fan, and before anyone of us could speak, he started sobbing uncontrollably, inevitably making me feel bad. “Cristia-no, is our hero!” He continued, choking between syllabuses.
“Why are you even blaming Cristiano Ronaldo here?” Asked Kitty.
“Because that guy just pisses me off!” I knew I was being selfish and irrelevant, but it was one of my inescapable weaknesses.
“Apologize to Cristiano now Straw!” Commanded Tiny.
“B-But...” I mumbled, hesitating.
“Apologize or I won’t admit you are my husband!” Smelly cut in.
“What?! Unbelievable! And who was the one who fed me goldfish and cats for one whole year?!” I said.
“Oh?! What does THAT have to do with this?!” Said Smelly.
“That has everything to do with this u!..u!... u husband forgetter!” I said angrily.
Smelly gasped and before she could say anything, Cristiano sobbed harder than ever. As tears started flowing down his cheeks, I looked at him, innocently and filled with regrets, and apologized.
“I’m sorry Cristiano, I never meant what I said. Ronaldo is a great player, I don’t like him, but, I gotta admit he’s good.” I apologized honestly.
“Re-really?” Asked Cristiano in awe.
“Yea, of course, Torres is much better, but he’s not bad himself.”
Cristiano smiled, shook my hand, and left without saying a word. I guessed he was happy that a Liverpool fan actually complimented on Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Ok, now that that is taken care of, answer me this...Did you really feed your husband cats and goldfish Smelly?” Asked Tiny slowly.
“Well...That was before I learned how to cook.” Confessed Smelly.
“Yeah, but when she learned how to, she stopped cooking for me!” I said.
“That was because you never complimented on it! I took the effort to learn how to cook and you never once said it was good!” Complained Smelly.
“Oh my god, now that you mentioned it, Jizzy never complimented on MY cooking either! In fact, when I started cooking, Jizzy hired 5 chefs, FIVE!” Said Tiny, as if this revelation was the most important one of the night.
“Why are men so ungrateful?!” Complained Smelly...again...
“YEAH!” Supported Tiny.
Both of the girls looked at Ribena, waiting for her to share her experience in this matter, or rather, contribute something to support the girls. Jizzy on the other hand was occupied with food. He called the waiter as the arguments were warmed up .
“Well...Kitty...always compliments my cooking.” Confessed Ribena, and Kitty only smiled.
“Eh, you get me the butter prawn, and then....” Said Jizzy while thinking, ordering his food.
“Okay honey, that is uncalled for, I compliment you on other things!” I said.
“Like what?!” Asked Smelly, curious.
“Put tomatoes around it, cut them small small, surround the prawns with tomatoes like being ambushed like that...and then...” Said Jizzy while posing the thinker pose.
“Well, I always say you have the loudest voice, there! That’s a compliment!” I said.
“You dress the prawn with salad, okay thank you.” Jizzy finished his order in the middle of the couples’ war.
“Ugh, MEN! They’re so clueless!” Said Tiny.
“Hey! I always compliment you okay!” Now Jizzy was into the conversation.
“Oh ho ho, I can’t wait to hear this, like what?!” Asked Tiny, more curious than Smelly was.
“I told almost everyone I met that you were always good at spending money! You can finish thousands in one day!” Said Jizzy.
“CLUELESS!” Said Smelly as she looked at Tiny.
The heated arguments led to Kitty and Ribena having their own chat room, or rather, drama room.
“How come we never have anything to fight about?” Asked Ribena.
“Well, that’s because we’re so good with each other.” Said Kitty.
“Is it now? But, I wanna fight too, it looks fun!” Complained Ribena.
“Dear please, we’re too good for that okay?” Comforted Kitty.
“Ugh, whatever...I want more curry chicken! Said Ribena, angry and frustrated.
Mush parked his Beatle carelessly and with speed. He was worried about both his mother and father. Apple was still caught up in memory lane, not realizing that they had reached the hospital. Mush got out of the car, locked the car, and then unlocked it, just so that Apple could realize that they were there. Apple was shocked to find that they were already there. She got out of the car 30 seconds later, and rushed to the receptionist.
“Buluberry please.” Said Apple.
“Wait, as in Imran Christ?! The bassist of Ink Corporated?!” Asked the receptionist excitedly.
“Yes, which room is he-?” Asked Apple halfway.
“OH MY GOD, I am his biggest fan! I remember the first time I saw him at that concert in Australia! He was so dreamy! Look I know that this might not be the right time, but is it true that he impregnated Paris Hilton?DAMNN...Are you one of his fangirls?”Asked the mouthful girl from the reception counter.
As Apple tried hard to jizz out information from the receptionist, Mush took out his cell and dialled a person’s number.
“It’ s code red, you were right, this family is vulnerable without you guys.” Said Mush over the phone. A girl’s laugher could be heard over the phone. Apple heard it, but she was too occupied to even care. After a while, she finally got the numbers. Bulu was in a coma in room 666. The dramatic mother and calm son rushed to see their man, the man of the house, or at least used to be. It was located on the far end of floor 6. Apple busted through the door, to find Z, Pussy, and 7 blond girls surrounding Bulu. The good news was, Bulu was awake, bad news was, Apple was about to send him unconscious again.
“Apple, good..you’re...here.” Said Bulu faintly.
“Why? So you could line me up with these whores?!” Said Apple angrily and loudly, again, like she did with me, forgetting that they were in public.
“Mom please, dad is sick. And these ladies are FINE!” Stated Mush confidently.
“Everyone, please, leave this room, I have..something important..to tell Apple.” Commanded Bulu.
Everyone left the room quickly and quietly. Pussy, Z and Mush accompanied the ladies out by putting them under their arms like pornstars or rather, PIMPS. Bulu coughed twice before he started talking.
“Honey...I’m sorry..for what I am about to say...I really am.” Said Bulu.
“Just, tell me okay, everyone seems to be saying crazy things lately...An extra won’t make much difference.” Said Apple frustratingly
“You said...That..I wasn’t paying attention to you...And..There’s a reason why..” Bulu said slowly and calmly.
Apple was frowning. She knew that whatever it was that was coming would not be good news. She knew that whatever Bulu was going to say, was going to hurt her, and yet, she could not resist to not know. She swallowed her saliva twice, and prayed that she was strong enough to endure the news.
THE END
WILL APPLEBERRIE BE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE THIS REVELATION? WILL WE EVER FIND OUT WHO MUSHBERRY CALLED? WILL RIBENABERRY AND KITTYBERRY EVER FIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING SERIOUS? WILL STRAW, SMELLY, TINY AND JIZZY EVER END THEIR SEXIST CONVERSATION? WILL THE DRAMA, CLICHES AND SURPRISING SECRETS FINALLY END? WILL THIS FAMILY EVER ACHIEVE HAPPINESS AGAIN? FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF, THE BERRIES’ DILEMMA
“Honey, you’re back!” Said Jizzy, quickly throwing the bread and butter he was holding.
“I came home earlier than expected, only to find hooliganism being practiced in my hall. What in the world is going on here?! STRAW?!” Scolded Tiny, while glaring at me with every intention of harm.
“Thank god you’re back! Straw was going to divorce Smelly.” Ribena foolishly informed Tiny.
“WHAT?!” Screeched Tiny, and I knew, doomsday was near.
“Hello.” I picked it up, and lifted a high five, asking them to wait.
“Good evening, is this a relative of Mr. Imran AKA Buluberry?” Asked a friendly female voice.
