A VERY SHORT STORY

Dear reader, My husband is a young rising figure in the Multinational company in which he is working .Handsome and vivacious ,he can speak improptu on any subject .Being a likable person , he has a lot of friends and I too began to have many friends .In short ,we are a couple admired by all and life is really beatiful. One day when Rohan was away in Hongkong where he had gone on official tour , I drove to the Akshardham temple at Noida More , just to while away the time .It was evening and the quiet atmosphere there very soothing and enjoyable ; I didn’t notice that it was already dark .I was startled by the sound of approching foot steps .A man and his wife , labourers by appearance ,wanted to talk to me . On enquiry ,they asked me to speak to me alone .I wondered what it could be ,but did not feel any apprehension. They told me they got something like gold while digging there ;can I confirm it ? Being a lady, jewellers won’t suspect me of theft .The man gave me two pieces which looked like old coins . Of course I felt excited and wanted to know the truth .They told me to come after two days at the same spot and left . I drove straight to a jeweller known to us from whom we bought regularly .You see, ours was a love marriage and Rohan pampered me as he earned a lot of money and was a bit lavish The shopkeeper did not ask any questions ; he confirmed it was pure 24 carat gold ! I wanted to contact Rohan but ,to my despair, all my efforts failed .Some voice from Hongkong informed that he will return to the hotel only after a week .I was afraid that they may approch someone else and I may lose a golden chance .I waited impatiently till the appoited hour with sufficcient cash withdraw from bank (He gives my any number of blank chequs when he goes on tour ).Oh ! they are coming …I took them to our flat and after closing the door carefully ,examined the bag .I counted hundred coins ,each weighing ten grams . How much do you want ? I asked . .We are very poor .Never touched gold .Give us whatever you feel proper –was the answer. I felt pity;and greedy too . I offered Rs.fifteen lac.They consulted among themslevs and finally agreed . I went to the jeweller immediately and hander over the gold….Each moment seemed like an hour. After eternity,  he appeared with a long face…Madam, they cheated you….The earth began to go round and round…. When I came to , a doctor was examining me .He gave some medicines . I am depressed .I canot face Rohan . Dear reader , You watch obituary column tomorrow. Good bye ,Rohan……marry some sensible girl as soon as you can forget me…..
