Big Deal

“But it’s not a big deal Maria” Jeff was furious..  His wife Maria had decided to leave the house for good.

 “We can’t stay together anymore Jeff after what happened yesterday … people have already started talking about it …” Maria snapped back

“But what has happened??? … nothing at all.. It was just a mistake …   you know it and they know it too  ... I don’t understand what’s the big deal” Jeff yelled back.  

Jeff Pereira - A rich businessman from Goa had never imagined he would have go through all this when he married Maria Vaz and settled in Mumbai three years ago…  the love of his life had today decided that she was gonna abandon him forever. It was a shocking moment for him... he was almost in tears as his wife packed her bags in the bedroom.

“All because of that stupid get together these women have all the time” he said to himself in anger, referring to the kitty party Maria had organized the previous day. All the neighboring females were invited. Unaware that all the guests had arrived in the hall ... Jeff walked right out of the bathroom wrapped only in a towel and worst of all ...the towel slipped off right in front of the ladies.  Embarrassing – indeed it was, no wonder Maria was leaving him today... “I’m sure these ladies must be making fun of my poor baby” Jeff thought feeling ashamed … he was really feeling guilty for what Maria was going through. He wanted to convince her and console her... but how? Maria would just not listen he knew, as she was deeply embarrassed.

As Maria walked across the living room with her bags heading for the door, Jeff tried again...  “Please don’t go Maria” he begged... “Don’t be embarrassed.. ah.. see It’s not a big deal.. so what if everyone.. ah .. saw..”
“Exactly my point” snapped Maria,“Everyone now knows I married you only for your money”
