[kl-bogel] Huzaida..

Aku Ed, bekerja di sebuah pusat servis di Negeri Kedah dan masih bujang. Kisah aku ini adalah mengenai skandal aku dengan rakan sekerja yang berstatus isteri orang iaitu Huzaida. Bagi aku, Huzaida atau nama manjanya, Zaida, bukanlah secantik mana. Kulit sawo matang dan bertubuh sederhana. Selepas Zaida melahirkan anak pertama yang membuatkan aku mula tertarik padanya. Susuk tubuhnya semakin berisi, buah dadanya yang semakin membesar, perutnya yang semakin chubby dan punggungnya yang semakin melentik membuatkan aku menanam cita-cita yang suatu hari aku akan dapat meniduri si Zaida nih. Kami agak rapat sebagai kawan dan Zaida banyak merujuk kepada aku mengenai masalah kerja. Tetapi, kadang-kadang tu setakat sembang-sembang kotor tentang posisi seks, 'berapa kali semalam' dan sekali-sekala tentang saiz batang zakar aku dan suaminya. Memang dengan aku, Zaida 'open'. Ada satu hari tu, aku rasa permulaan hubungan sulit kami berdua, Zaida berhajat meminjam wang dari ak
