2 Euro 33 Cents Post Card.

 A while ago, I have been to Sindelfingen, Germany for 3 weeks. It's my first trip abroad in my life. So, the expectations are high, not for me but for my brother, friends, relatives, parents, and wife. Sorry, but for my wife, brother, friends, relatives, and parents, about the things that I am going to bring for them while coming back.

Time flies so fast when you travel for the first time.
*After 3 weeks*

I am back to my hometown with a fully packed (presents and chocolates) 60-litre trolley. I presented perfume to my dad and father-in-law, jackets to my brother and sister-in-law, handbags to my mother and mother-in-law, toys to my niece and chocolates for everyone. Everyone is happy. (Here comes the attention seeker.) I presented an expensive watch (170 euros) to my wife. Everybody likes it, even my tenant's dog too (about to lick it 😜, of course I didn't allow her to lick it). My wife gave a weird smile and took the gift. It seems she didn't like it.

The days gone, almost 4 weeks. Not even once had she worn the watch, I confirmed that she didn't like it.

After a couple of days, we were involved in our daily routine. I heard a knock at the door, and my wife attended the door as I was in teams meeting. I heard she was speaking to someone, and I barely heard those words. Later, I heard the sound of the door closing. She ran from the entrance to the room where I was sitting. She hugged me, and in a few seconds, I could feel the tears on my neck. I told her to wait a few minutes, as I was about to finish the meeting. After the meeting, I just asked, What happened?

She showed me the postcard that I sent from Germany. Which I completely forgot, because I thought it might have been missed during the long trip. Because it's been almost a month since I posted. Luckily, she received it. She likes it very much. she was very, very happy. I didn't expect that.

Till now, I didn't understand why she was not happy with a 170 Euro watch but very happy with the 2 Euro, 33 cents postcard (Typical 90's kid 😜).

The story didn't end here. She was happy only for 4-5 hours, because she got to know that I had sent the postcards to three of my close friends.(Completely ruined). She was mad at me almost the whole week. I struggled a lot to get her up to her normal behavior.

Note: Never understood how, why, when, or for what she reacts.

I'm sorry I had to leave. She recalled the whole thing that happened on that day. I need to struggle again to get her back to normal behavior. I hope a whole week is not required, but this long weekend would be enough.

Happy Dussehra and weekend!
