One evening Ben bought a perfume for his wife. She was asking for it for several days. But he couldn't manage money. When he presented it to her she became glad and asked if that was what she thought it is. She was super excited to get her long cherished perfume but became irritated when she unpacked it.
She asked what that cheap stuff was. He tried to convince her and said that that was a good perfume and suggested her to try it just. She smelled it and told him to shut up. She exclaimed with irritation that the perfume was not 'Grenui'. She reminded Ben that she wanted that one specifically.
Ben admitted his inability and said to her that it was too expensive for them. Kate gave the packs to him and said that she was sick of him. Ben said, "Hey, don't get mad. I promised, I will get you the right one as soon as my project..." She didn't let him to finish his words. She laughed upon him and said that she was tired of waiting. She added that she was young and beautiful and she wanted it at that time. She also told Ben that she could not believe on him and waste her time on a loser like him.
He didn't refused that. He told her that he was doing everything for them, for their family. She started shouting and rebuking him. She said that he was in the same position for last seven years. She exclaimed it was a very stunning career. Ben became astonished at her behavior.
He asked his wife why she was being so harsh with him. She replied that she wanted him to stop living in his fantasies and start making money. Ben was frustrated and sat on the chair. He begged some more time from her. He said that he was quite sure that his this project would definitely work out. He added that he had already sent some CVs to the companies and some of them liked him.
He told Kate with a hope that they promised to call him back. She laughed at this and said, "Call you back!". And she asked him if he still believed in that. Ben just looked at her as he had nothing to say. Then she said to him, "You are a loser!" and she left.
He became in depression. He thought that his wife was right. He worked hard and always wanted more for their family. When his wife were in deep sleep, he still continued his working. He devoted all his free time in developing his new startup. He made a lot of project idea and submitted them to different companies.
The companies replied back to him but they said sorry. One day he was sitting with the debt papers. Suddenly his phone rang. It was from a company. They had reviewed his project but they also said a no.
He was devastated by getting rejected again and again and working at the office was killing him. He was fired a month ago and Kate didn't know that yet. He was afraid to confess to her. He took job in a mall and had to distribute the offers card to people in disguise of a bunny.
That day he was sitting in a corner and was thinking about himself. Suddenly the manager came and told him to move because his shift had already begun. He also thought that he was really just a loser.
He wear the bunny head and looked like the cartoon character. He came outside and saw a couple. He went near them and offered them a card of two for one pizza. But they didn't take and left. He stood near the road corner and tried to gave the card to them. But most of them just ignored him.
Suddenly he noticed a couple were coming. They were holding each other hands and were close. He was about to be nearer to them and saw the woman. It was none but his beautiful wife Kate! She said her lover to look at the cute bunny. She wanted to take a photo with him. The guy said that she could do anything she wanted.
The get closer and took some photos with the honey-bunny. She was then checking the photos and swept them. Suddenly a photo of her husband, Ben came to the front and the guy asked it her husband had a hunch about them. She said no and added that she felt sorry for him. Ben was just behind them and was listening to everything.
She said that Ben was the biggest loser in the world and nothing but a failure would be his companion. Then he asked him about his wife. She asked if he had told her anything. He told Kate to be patient and said that he would take care of it soon. Then he told her to go with him and he would buy her that perfume she wanted so much. She became very happy and said to him, "I love you, Mark". And Mark replied the same.
This conversation killed Ben but he had to do his job. Then he said "Pizza, two for one!". Mark and Kate tuned to the bunny and he gave him some money. Then he turned to Kate and said that this job would suit her husband perfectly and they both laughed.
Ben was broken. The working day was over and he didn't know where to go. He didn't know how to go on with his life. He went to a lake side to have some time alone. He sat in a lake side bench and was thinking about his life.
Suddenly his phone rang. It was from a company. They wanted to invest in his project and he could not believe him. He asked them if they were sure. He asked them again if the phone number was right. They confirmed him that they wanted him. They asked if he was free tomorrow. And this is how the his life started to change.
He kissed on his bunny head as it helped him to find out the true faces and then returned home. His wife was doing facial and watching TV at that time. As soon as she saw her husband, she asked if he had found an investor yet. He came to her and turned the TV off.
She got angry and asked what he was doing. She asked to turned it back. But he didn't and showed him the pack of perfume she demanded for a long time. He asked her if she wanted that one. She said yes and became glad. She asked him how he had managed that and was about to take the pack. But he took it and kept it aside.
He told her that he had found an investor. She became glad and could not believe that too. She said that she was happy for him. He also laughed and asked where she was that morning. She replied that she was at work and forbade him to bother her. She asked what the project was with. He asked if she wanted to see the project presentation.
She said of course she wanted and asked why he was even asking. She sat and he came back wearing the bunny head. He said, "Come and get it! Two slices for one, babe!" Kate got irritated and asked what that little act was for. He put down the head and said to her that they both agreed that that job was perfect for him and so that was his presentation.
He told her that if he was not mistaken, the man was her boss and his name was Mark. She admitted that and refused that there was nothing between them. But he asked why she was not going back to him then. She got astonished and asked if he was kicking her out. She said to him that he was nothing without her.
He also said that he did everything. He did for them all by himself while she was cheating on him behind his back. He added that she was not going to be around the person who could betray him like that. And so he cleared Kate that he was kicking her out. Kate laughed at him and said that she was going to dump him a long time ago anyway. She just stayed out of pity. She then said that he was going to regret that and left.
A year had passed after that. One day Ben was walking down the street. He was not looking like before. He was a loser then and now he looks great as a millionaire. Suddenly she listened a calling with a familiar voice. It was Kate! She told him that she hardly could recognize him. Ben stopped and looked at her. He said a Hi.
Kate said that she had not seen him in ages and asked how he was. He said that he was alright and saw a baby with her. He looked at the baby and exclaimed that Kate and Mark had got a beautiful baby together. Ben was playing with the baby and Kate said that that was not her child. In fact, Mark never left his wife. Instead, he left her and she got fired.
She said that she worked as a part time nanny then. Ben felt pity for her. Kate asked him to say about him as he was looking great. He said that some people got interested in his project and he managed it then. Kate congratulated him and said maybe he and Kate would be live.....
She couldn't complete her words as Ben's phone rang. Someone was there and he addressed her as sweat heart. He said that he was on his way. The lady asked him to buy some milk and he agreed. And Kate could understood there was no place left for her in Ben's.
After he had ended up the phone, he turned towards Kate and said her that he needed to go at home and said goodbye. He never looked back but Kate did.
A year ago Ben was scared to leave Kate. He was afraid that he couldn't manage without her. But he dared to believe in himself. The most important thing is to take the first step!
Love is to be there through good time as well as bad time.
