"Karma is not just a Theory or a Word, if you don't believe , it will make you believe. "- QuotesLifetime.Com

Boomerang is a curved flat piece of wood that when thrown would go back to the thrower. That's how Karma works. Whatever you do will eventually goes back to you.Whatever you throw to people it will go back to you . Sometimes if you do good deeds , the return even if not expected is truly overwhelming. Same goes if you do bad or harm people without remorse , the return as well is beyond it's course and unbelievable. That is Good karma and Bad karma. Let me tell you a story that happened recently.

===

My husband prior to pandemic was an Aircon installer/Technician . He handles an area where he hops from different outlets of a known fastfood chain in our country somewhere in CaLaBarZon . He's dealing with the Store Area manager /Branch Manager most of the time. During the pandemic as expected fast food chain and restaurants was closed. My husband went home and stay with us and think of other ways to earn money.

Aside from our Ukay -Ukay business and Variety or Sari-Sari Store , he also have his own racket or sideline. He was into buy and sell of equipments used in fastfood chains such as ice cold machine and fryer to name a few. He has contacts and access to different stores due to his recent works. First year of pandemic and we rely mostly on our savings. On it's second year that was the time he started pushing his hustle in buy and sell.

Luckily , the former Area Manager of the fastfood chain he handled before gave him a call . The AM is now working in a New Company that target to open a restaurant nationwide . They are in the process of putting branches in the major cities despite the pandemic. The equipment my husband is selling is needed .

Since it was a big contract my husband cannot supply all the needed equipment , besides we don't have papers and business permits to join for bidding in the company coz it was just a sideline hustle of my husband. So the AM asked him for help to look for a trusted supplier. My husband's highschool friend who is into selling the same equipments came into his mind.

So , my husband introduced his friend to the Area Manager until they have agreed and closed a deal that the friend of my husband will supply the needed equipment. My husband acted as the medial man . After the necessary documents and bidding " the friend " now is the official supplier.

As a sign of appreciation to my husband the Manager and " the friend" agreed that they will give a commission to my husband to every equipment that the company will purchase to " the friend" of my husband. Though agreement was verbal , the said commission was given to my husband accordingly per transaction. The AM was informing my husband about the purchases in a regular basis.

Business went well and the restaurants are having branches in the major cities. Until last quarter of the year came and the AM congratulate my husband for a job well done and asked my husband if he was aware that his friend now is the major supplier of all the equipments needed by the company. All the heavy equipments that cost hundred of thousands and "the friend" is now dealing in millions of pesos in the company so my husband must be happy with the turn out coz he'll get to earn more too. That was the Manager thought.

My husband told the AM that he was not aware of it and it's fine with him if he did'nt get anything from his friend from the other equipment. He was find getting a little from a certain equipment that they agreed upon from the start.

So he did'nt say a thing from his friend. He just let it go coz it's not his cup of tea to ask for more. His friend is now earning millions from the company. Then one day , the AM forwarded an email to my husband indicating an order from "the friend" it was two equipment , the one that they have dealt with before, so it means 10k for my husband.

My husband was waiting for his friend to send him the money that usually sent after two days of sending the check payment by the company to "the friend" .He waited for days until week but no money was sent. So he contacted his friend and ask about it but the friend told him that my husband advanced it already from their previous transactions. So my husband insisted that he did'nt made an advance and reviewed all their transactions and there was nothing in the record nor in his memory that he made any advance from his friend. But the friend was firm that he gave it to his brother to hand it to him.

My husband got frustrated and talked to the AM about it and found out that his friend already talked to the manager and telling that my husband made an advance payment for it. My husband explained everything to the AM and cleared th itings out. Telling the AM that it's just money and i can earn it still but the trust to the friend was gone.

From then on , he did'nt received any call or updates from his friend. My husband let it go and forget about it. The commission just stop even if the AM still informing him about the purchased equipment , he did'nt received anything anymore. I told my husband that it's ok . We can think of ways to earn anyway. The friend could enjoy his money all he wants and the thought that my husband was able to help him to have a better life was a sort of relief to us.

Until last week , someone sent a video to my husband. It was a shocking news coz "the friends" house was on fire. Turning all to ashes the suppose equipments for delivery this week that costs 1.8 million pesos. Aside for that , his car and motorcycle and all aplliances was included in the said fire.

The Area Manager called my husband and confirmed that " the friend" is in big trouble now for what happened. He lost a deal amounting to 1.8M pesos and don't know how to catch up with his lost.

===

Me and my husband honestly was not happy hearing the bad news. We are really sad for his friend. My husband was devastated too and prayed for his friend to somehow recover from his loss soon and most importantly to change his ways for the better. The AM told my husband that he guess it was the return of his act not only with my husband but also with other people coz we heard that he was doing the same with his own brother and other people too.

We are not in a position to call it "Karma" but what do you think it was?
