“128th story”

First published: Feb.06.2020

The husband came home and looked in the eyes of his wife and said: “I am sorry I have fallen in love with another woman. I am divorcing you.”

The wife cried and said: “After twelve years of marriage, don’t you think we should try to work it out. Don’t you think I deserve an explanation?”

The husband replied: “It just happened, and I love another woman. My girlfriend loves our house. Therefore I will get the house after our divorce. Of course, I will give you time to evacuate.”

The wife had to do something about all these shocking unfairnesses. She filled all the curtain rods in the house with raw fish and shrimp, left her beautiful home with lots of great memories for her husband and his girlfriend.

The husband moved in with his new woman to start a passionate new life. Days passed and a strange smell spread in the house. Months passed, and the smell was unbelievably horrible. The husband brought so many different experts and they had many different opinions, and to do each, cost him lots of money, he even changed the carpets to the hardwood floor.

He practically renovated the whole house but the smell was still there. The girlfriend spent a fortune on clothes, shoes, jewelry, restaurants, and traveling, so the husband was under so much debt, and the bank put the house on the market for less than half of its value. There was no other way but to sell the house, but no one liked the smelly home.

The first wife called the husband and said: “I have missed our house and am willing to buy it for half the offer that the bank is asking.”

The desperate husband accepted the offer.

When the first wife signed the contract told him: “As an appreciation, I would like you and your girlfriend to take all the furniture, even the curtain rods.”

  27. This is as beautiful as it can get. In our culture, there is a saying Juta bhinga kar marna ( hit with wet shoes) and it’s meaning you get hurt a lot and it does make a sound.

  28. She gave him her heart, and years of love, but just gave her fishy excuse. But in the end, she came out, smelling like a unforgettable rose! A lovely share!
