Monica married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party,Monica's

mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook with Rs.1000.

 

 

Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as

a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and

memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's

about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can

put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.When

you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

 

 

Monica shared this with Hitesh.They both thought it was a great idea

and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

 

 

This was what they did after certain time:

 

- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for

Hitesh after marriage

 

- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Monica

 

- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali

 

- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Monica got pregnant

 

- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted

 

 

..... and so on...

 

 

However, after years, they started fighting and

arguing for trivial things.They didn't talk much. They regretted

that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more

love....Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

 

 

One day Monica 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, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if

you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the

saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it

first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

 

Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the

queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took

a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the

memory of all the

previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with

tears. She left and went home.

 

When she reched home, she handed the passbook to

Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

 

The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to

Monica.. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record:

'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years.. How

much happiness you've brought me.'

 

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to

the safe.

Do you know how much money they had saved when they

retired? I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru

all the good years in their life.
