A BRIEF STORY:
She was a small town girl. Never been to a big city. She gets married to a big city boy. She is dazzled by the city life. It has a lot to offer and she sure is a fast learner.
Her neighbours seem to have it all, or so she thinks. Not the one to be left behind, she wants it all too.
First, the drapes, then the furniture and upholstery. The ladies praise her taste....she is happy.
He works for a private company. His salary barely enough for two. He loves her a lot. So, he takes up another part-time job to fulfil her wishes.
She is busy with the kids to mark his absence. As parents they want to give their best to their kids. They enrol them in a private ‘International’ School. The kids want to be like their peers. Getting dropped to school by chauffer driven cars, possessing latest gadgets and gizmos to play with.
He has taken up a new job, climbing the corporate ladder quickly, tastes power and is addicted to it. He goes jet setting around the globe...home is where work is. He is got into the rat race of making money and has lost on life.
She is busy socializing...shopping with friends, attending kitty parties, getting a membership to a prestigious ladies club and occasional holiday abroad.
Life could not be better. They are leading life...two separate lives. They have everything material that is immaterial to their happiness.
She is made the President of the ladies club. She is envied by others. For a small town girl she has come a long way. She is proud of herself. She wants to share this news with her family.
She comes home.....to an empty nest!
