Priya married Hitesh this day. At the end of wedding party, Priya’s mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook with Rs.1000/- deposit amount.
Mother said to priya, take this pass book keep it as record of your marriage life. Whenever you feel happily and memorable happened in your life put some money in that account. Write down what it’s about next to the line. More memorable the event is, more money you can put in it.
I’ve done the first one for you today .Do the others with Hitesh. When you look back after some years, you comes to know how much happiness you’ve had. Priya shared this with Hitesh when getting home.
They both thought that was an good idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made. This was what they did after certain time:
-7th feb: Rs -100, first birthday celebrated for Hitesh after marriage
-1st Mar: Rs 300: Salary raise for priya
-20th Mar: Rs 200: Vacation trip to Bali
15th Apr: Rs 2000, Priya got Pregnant
-1June: Rs 1000 Hitesh got promotion
However after certain years, they started fighting and arguying for trivial things. They didn’t talk much. They regretted that had married the most nasty people in the world…no more love Kind of people nowadays huh?…
One day priya talked to her mother:
Mom, we can’t stand it anymore. we agree to divorce.I can’t imagine how i decided to marry this guy!!!!!!
Mother: Sure, priya, that is not big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can’t stand it. But before that do one thing.
Priya : Tell me ,Mom!!!!!!
Mother: Do you remember the saving passbook gave it to you on your wedding day?
Priya: Yes…
Mother: Take all the money and spend it first. You should not keep any of the record of such poor marriage. Priya thought that was true. So she went to the bank and waiting in Queue and planning to cancel the account.
While she was waiting , she took a look at the pass book record.
She looked and she looked and she looked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up in her mind. Her eyes filled with tears. When she return back to home she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.
The next day , Hitesh gave the passbook to priya. She found a new deposit of Rs-5000/- and the line added in the record : This day i noticed how much i have loved you through out all these years.. and how much happiness you’ve brought me.
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to safe.
Do you know, How much money they saved when they retired??? I didn’t ask. I believe the money doesn’t matter anymore after they gone through all the good years in their life.
P.S: life is about moment you create, that you can keep it with you Forever, After everything is over that is what we have or what we are left with. It is not important to have long friends list on Facebook and Whats App….
……………………………………… But It is important to have atleast one friend who can read you face as book and ask What’s up??
