WHo is this man sitting opposite me? PArt 1

Who is this man, sitting opposite me on the dinning table? I see him at most once everyday, sometimes not even once in several days. But he is important in at least one aspect - I get my pocket money from him. And I do better watch my words around him! One careless mistake and I'll have to wipe my butt clean and get ready for a spanking!

"Hai...I also dunno why! But my husband and son looks like meeting of enemies when they see each other! And he's only 4!" laments the anxious mother to his sister-in-law.

"why? What happen?" replys the sister-in-law.

"I also don't know lah! Just that everytime his father comes home, he'll run into the bedroom. And he won't want to come out no matter how long I tell him to!"

"Is it?! When did it start happening?"

"Since that time he got caned by his dad...can't even remember what is was for, but he caned him real bad..." the troubled look on the mother deepens tries hard to recall "BUT THEN that wasn't the only time he got caned what?!"

"Maybe that's exactly the problem..." but before the concerned sister-in-law could finish her sentence, she was abruptly interrupted

"Huh? What you say? Oh no don't talk to you already, I better go and get dinner ready! If not your mom will scold again!"

As the mother rushes off into the kitchen, she couldn't had seen the slighth shaking of her sister-in-law's head. As she turned and looked around, she saw her mother, as usual sitting on her own on the corner of the sofa, smoking and seem as though deep in thought. And there sitting at the foot of her mother is her nephew, quietly playing his favorite toy... and then she saw her nephew looked up, and gave her a smile.
