Iskra calls me at the dock office. This is this where it begins. I can
see that now. Iskra says that one of his friends (he`s told him about me) has
invited me to spend Sunday at his beach house, near the port. I say I`d like
that very much but that I`d promised to spend the day with my other friend Mo.
Iskra immediately says, he’s invited as well. His friend’s wife would be very
happy not to be between men. She might have a friend over herself. He chuckled.
I wanted to hang up right away because I found myself confused. I also knew
that my boss doesn’t like us getting personal calls when we’re at work.
Iskra asks me to hold on a moment and says he could have told me about
the invitation this evening but he wants to warn me about something else. His
former mistress`s brother and a group of his Kalimantan friends have been
following him all day.
“If you see him near the house tonight when you get home, let me know.”
He says.
I said that I would. A little while later, my boss asks to see me and I
was annoyed at first because I thought he was going to tell me I should spend
less time talking on the phone and more time working.
But it wasn’t about that at all. He says he wants to speak to me about
a project that is still in the planning stages and that he`d like my opinion on
the matter.
He was thinking of setting up an office on the mainland, in the
capital, Kuala Lumpur, where they could really deal directly with large
companies they did business with and where many of the shipping lines were
based.
