Lies & Deceit.
2:58:00 AMKrishna RaoYesterday I came across a very strange real life story which seems to happen once too often now.
A young couple who has had two children in the last 8 to 9 years of marriage were considered as happy and blissfully married to each other.
Suddenly the ugly face of deceit reared its head and then the same blissful marriage seemed to crumble at just a small impact from outer sphere.
The woman in the midst of a singular verbal battle declared that she has been having an affair for a couple of years with another person right infront of her husbands nose.
They had met surreptitiously under the guise of facebook friends and having got introduced the affair took steam and landed at the bedroom.
Now the strangest part came after the own up of the affair.
The woman asked for a divorce since she did not want to continue with her husband but the husband refused to give her that.
The reason cited by him are the two kids which defined the relationship of marriage.
He wanted to continue with the relationship for the sake of his very young children.
The question here was how would they face each other when they are together?
Strangely she asks him to take care of the kids when she goes out with the other guy.
My disciple asked me then if she knew that she was betraying him why did she go for another child? Now how would you tell your husband that you are having an affair so why not act it out and have a kid because that's what he wants, isn't it? Sometimes it is easier to hide things when you offer yourself freely to both the persons. I guess that sounds very dicey but since I know the couple I can vouch for their mutual actions.
Today love is a traded commodity to the one who offers the highest of excitement in life.
The definition of love is more like togetherness in once a year holidays, family get-together, marriages of relatives, weekend club and zoo rituals, long drives and so on but here the truth ends. The proof of happy faces for the sake of facebook and other social media are a norm. But the truth is hard to digest. The two no longer have the same bonding when they got married any more or when they fell in love before marriage. They have a sham marriage or a marriage of utter convenience. The kid gets support from each other separately. The mother drives the kids to school and meets with her paramour and the guy is so busy with his office and work that he hardly cares for her. They show up together for the annual parents day, of course smiling at all the other parents and have a blast cheering their kid. Later they post pictures too.
Now the belief that the kid needs to be taken care of nicely stands in the course of a straight forward divorce. Do these parents think the kids life is defined by them?
What has to be will be even if you hide the truth from the kid.
Remember Shahid from the movie Jab We Met. How he has to face his mother and his girlfriend! They both have decided on their course in life and have moved on but the hurt remains with the child and the trauma is much more later on in life. But let these two remain in their dream world and deceive each other by covering their eyes with tinted glasses. Who cares? Do you?
What the kids have to face can never be hidden by anyone. They will somehow come to know and then the whole thing will erupt.
Why not live in truth and never in lies.
Just remember the lie is one day going to rebound and then destroy your man made dream world of lies and deceit!
