Delilah

“Just do as I say and we both will be benefited.” She said calmly. “I will manage every thing smoothly.”

 

Her husband was a millionaire; he fell for a girl half his age. Both were equally clumsy so he kept swaying like a pendulum. In between commitment and freedom. He has lived alone for fifty one years. Free as a bird flying in blue sky.

 

Then he fell in love with a young woman of thirty years. Was thinking whether or not to marry him when she interfered, trapped him and married him. She convinced him he was too old and she was too immature for her age. They decided that they will get her married to his nephew. Ha!! That’s what she made him believe.

 

She knew very well that his nephew was in love with her niece. So she plotted a plan. To use the stick in a way that the snake dies without snapping the stick.

 

She did not had much problem in giving her niece a little bit of money but the amount of money which her hubby was planning to shower on his ex flame was outrageous. After all, it was her money too now.

 

She asked her niece to change her name, take the same name as her husband’s lover. Then she weaved the net.

 

She squeezed out a huge sum of money from her husband; it was distributed 3:1, her nephew shifted to Denmark with his share of money. Married the girl of his choice and he thought that his ex flame is happy and safe.

 

 

 

A few years passed by. He happened to visit India on a business trip, alone. His Indian manager met him. She was a striking young woman with great records.

 

He was surprised by her similarity with his ex flame. He prodded and her side of the story came out.

 

She has moved on ever since he vanished a few years ago. Why should she wait for a non-committal person? A man who has not even said “I love you.” after knowing her for years.

 

She never married; she is too busy with her career. May be she will marry later but not now. She never realized who he was because he used fake name and description while mixing with her.

 

 

He returned to USA after the trip was over. His wife was waiting for him in airport. She gave him a big, tight hug.

 

“Darling, there is a surprise for you.” he smiled.

 

“What?” she smiled happily, looking at the envelope.

 

“Two tickets for Denmark in the next flight, we are going to meet Tamal and Tanaya.”

 

“The flight will take off an hour later. We will buy necessary things there and call up Tamal from the airport.” He smiled sweetly.

 

“Lets have some thing to eat and we will have to immediately check in.” he held his hand warmly and firmly.
