The Angry Husband -Part 2

Note. In August 2015, my blog " The Angry Husband" appeared. In the year or so that has since lapsed, the Husband  has become a hero, full of confidence and ambition. Read on "The Angry Husband - Part 2 "  below.

                             The Angry Husband  - Part 2

Ram Gopal’s immediate neighbour has a long standing dispute over a small patch of land in Ram Gopal’s backyard and makes it an issue at every conceivable opportunity. The previous patriarchs of Ram Gopal showed extreme patience and tried to convince the neighbour with documentary proof etc that he has no claim to the patch of land. Notwithstanding all these, the neighbour would take recourse to direct action like crossing the backyard fence in the night and throwing crackers to scare the family. 

In the be ginning, Ram Gopal kept his cool and pursued a policy of friendship. He even invited the neighbour to a function in his house and wished him on his birthday. But as the neighbour’s antics continued unabated, Ram Gopal’s patience wore off.  He thought of a plan to isolate the neighbour in the village community by personally explaining the unreasonableness of the latter’s claim to a portion of his land. Soon, he won the confidence of others in the village and, one night, to the surprise of everyone in his own house and definitely to that of the neighbour, he turned the water hydrant towards the neighbour’s backyard and completely waterlogged it.  Nobody in the village showed any concern for the loud breast- beating protest of the neighbour.

As a result of this daring action on his part, Ram Gopal’s image in his own home and in the village rose sky-high.  All  conceded that he was a man of action who would not deter to strike when the situation demanded. Ram Gopal’s self- confidence grew and he now clearly understood the dynamics of success and fame. He is now considering to contest the election for Municipal Chairman.
