Ada was a little taken aback with the
speed of Ebuka' s
marriage, but could not grudge him the
happiness . She
was however a little impatient to take
her relationship with
Chike to the next level . She started
noticing that Chike
was always a little evasive about any
talks about marriage.
She soon confronted him about it and
gave him an
ultimatum . He broke down and
confessed that he was a
married man . He had married a rich but
ugly girl six years
back . He said he had done this for
money and had signed
an agreement with the girl' s father
promising to stay
married till such time they had a male
child , in which case
he could divorce his wife and walk away
with half the
money. Otherwise he would have to stay
married to the girl
till such time that one of them died .
Ada was shocked and a little disgusted
with Chike . She
realized that she had been foolish and
fallen for empty
flattery and good looks . She was
devastated to think that
she had hurt a nice person like Ebuka
for a shallow person
like Chike , for whom the sacred bond of
marriage did not
mean anything. As she walked off from
Chike she realized
that " A bird in hand is worth two in the
bush " . The
realization was however too little and
too late .
One day Juliet and Geetha were on their
way to write an
important exam and were waiting at the
bus stop. All the
buses were crowded but since they had
to reach the
examination hall on time. Juliet insisted
that they travel by
one of the buses. Geetha was not
interested. She kept
insisting that a less crowded bus would
come along and
that they should wait for one since they
had a lot of time.
Geetha wanted to travel by a bus which
offered them
seats to sit.
Juliet was uneasy since she knew that
with the passage of
time buses could only get more crowded.
She tried to
reason it out with Geetha who refused to
listen. Juliet was
angry with Geetha and decided to board
the bus that came
next. She did not want to be late for the
exam. Because of
her timely decision, Juliet took a bus
which was crowded
and reached the exam-hall in time. She
wrote the exam
with peace of mind. She came out in
flying colour.
Geetha waited for the next half an hour
but there was no
sign of the bus that she wanted to take.
She was getting
anxious as she realized that a lot of
time had elapsed.
Finally a bus arrived but it was so
crowded that Geetha
could not even get in. Geetha realized
her foolishness. But
it was too late and she had to finally
catch a taxi to travel
to her destination. She not only lost
valuable money by
spending more but also lost out on
precious time by
landing up late for her exam. Because of
coming late to
the exam-hall, Geetha did not write her
exam with a peace
of mind. She was nervous and tense
through out the
exam. Although she went through the
exam with the
minimum marks, she was not happy with
her performance
in that particular exam.
Juliet on the other hand had reached on
time and was
able to write her exam well. A Bird in
Hand is Worth Two
in the Bush.



Wishes you Best of Luck
