Confidence is one good thing but overconfidence, oh boy, doesn’t do good to anyone. The line between the both is quite thin, too thin to walk and perhaps too blur to read in between. With one miss, you skip the warning signs and before you know, you’re in for a rude shock.
Just the way the people of my tribe are overconfident about the men in their lives. Now, truly yours, never has the intention to nurse your suspicions. Nor do I intend to recommend a career shift of ‘a private investigator’ to you. But it doesn’t pay to keep your senses working, does it?
A recent forced eavesdropping instigated to issue a warning to my unsuspecting tribe. Here how it goes:
The woman was loud, confident and maybe ruling the roost at home, my assumption, so forgive me if I’m wrong. She was as ordinary as you and me, engrossed in a boring conversation with her female relative. The pitch made it impossible to ignore but she was comfortable in making people a part of her life.
“No, we didn’t have a fight. Uh, Please! We never fight and I’m upset because of something else,” she declared. Even he is feeling low because I’m upset. You know him right? He is quiet and doesn’t socialize much. Now, since I’m two months in my pregnancy, he has become a different man. Come on, he has eyes only for me! He really takes care of me and helps me a lot.
“No, no, my tummy isn’t showing but I’m gaining weight,” she half-heartedly announced to the captive audience. But he says that he loves me the way I am. So am not dieting rather eating all that I crave for.
“You know, the maid left the job and he was so stressed about it”, she happily continued. I told him I’ll manage but he seems concerned and assured me that he’ll find a new one. Oh! I tried to raise her salary but she refused. The timings didn’t suit her and she wasn’t comfortable working when I wasn’t around. So she was pretty adamant to leave, you know these young maids, their tantrums and all. But he told me that the maid has found a new house to work. Just the opposite apartment and he spotted her working there. He seems to call her but she refused to even acknowledge him. See, how ungrateful they are?
That point of time, the entire audience moved to catch a glance of her. And I felt like giving her a statutory warning, “Woman, don’t be so sure.”
