A smart gentleman entered my office cabin and introduced himself in a very aristocratic,
elegant and gentle
manner. Hesitantly he beseeched permission for my advice.
Generally people come for
official matters but his concern was his wife using Facebook. Interest aroused in me since I am also a novice on Facebook. His wife has more than a thousand
friends on FB and about a hundred of
them are very close to her. He somehow managed to obtain her password and investigated
all the details of her chatting etc. Three persons he found to be intensely close
to his wife and she, as per his
narrations, had sent certain amount in their
accounts which happens to be in my
bank. He wanted to know the account numbers and the amount deposited. He was
also suspicious of her eloping with any of the three gentlemen.
First, I expressed my inability since I am under oath of
secrecy not to divulge the account details to third
persons. With his permission, I asked his age, 42, his wife’s age, 40, married since, 15 years, and children, 2 sons- one studying in 7th
and the other in 5th standard and she never had such an affair
earlier.
I advised him not to
be suspicious as everybody is having
good number of friends on FB. Then I asked him where would his inquisitions land him up – separation, severance- spoiling
his own life, his wife’s and his
children lives. Is there no other amicable way to save her from committing mistake, if at all his suspicion was true, after all
she is a human being. But he was
adamant on teaching her a lesson and ultimate separation. “Supposing for a minute, your own son commits
the same mistake which your wife has committed/ going to commit,
what will you do” I asked.
“I will convince him,
cajole him, coax him. Besides she cannot
be compared to my son, he is of tender age and she is 40 years old” and he told
hundreds of other excuses to save his
son.
Nice....but its half of the story....publish part 2 if get a chance to meet that fellow again :-)
