To many people doing business, this is a normal routine question when they are considering a new joint-venture, a new investment, a new something. Something like quid pro quo.
I can understand this.. after all orang berniaga memang profit-oriented. Acceptable, indeed.
But this one dear man, when I asked for forgiveness to my wrongdoings and expressed my hope to renew our relationship or friendship, he will ask this question. I knew what he meant. Knew too well what he wanted. He always ask this everytime. Trying his luck, no doubt.
The Mafia in me is always tempted to answer daringly.
E.g:
Q : What do I get in return?
A : Penampar.
Of course I can never say that.. he is too sensitive, though he appears to be arrogant and aloof. Besides, it's totally unexpected coming from a lady, kan?
Instead, I just say that I would do what he wants provided it's within the realms allowed by religion. But not everyone I grant this privilege, only him.
But in my heart, everytime he asks this question, I can't help saying "Tak ikhlas, sey".
