A Story of a Husband, a Wife, and an Expensive Desire.

immy Choo and the Heart's Longing.

By Aftab Ahmad KhanPublished 3 months ago 4 min read

Whenever my wife and I are walking in the mall, and especially when we pass by the Jimmy Choo store,

a cold sigh comes out of my wife's heart while standing outside the store

I always smile and say as usual:

"Go inside and see what you want to see"

But she immediately shakes her head in denial and says:

"I'm not going"

I ask in surprise:

"Why not?"

So she says further:

"My heart will fall for something, and I won't be able to buy it, which makes my heart break again"

Hearing this, I start explaining some things to her as usual:

"There is a difference between seeing and buying, it is not necessary that you should buy it just because you have come, not everyone can buy everything, we have come to shop, etc. etc."

But this philosophy only makes Begum's teper rise even more, and she silences me by saying:

"This is what you always say, you keep telling me all these things, when will I finally be able to buy Jimmy Choo sandals - when will I go to such a store and try the sandals on my feet and buy them in a hurry without thinking much - or will I have to listen to your lectures and advice for the rest of my life?"

I laugh, turn the conversation aside,

and lead Begum to the next store

My point of view...

It's not just about Jimmy Choo sandals - in my opinion, money has a value and one should think a little before spending it

Spending more money than necessary on sandals/bags/clothes etc. - is a huge waste of money

It is foolish to spend money on something that is bound to deteriorate after some time, and is not even worth using again

You don't use such things every morning and evening - you do it according to the occasion and place - rarely - it is unwise to spend so much on it

And buying such things just for show or display - this is completely useless pride

It is not that there is anything else in the market that is better than this, no, but these things sell their name only because of show - so that in front of You can impose your power on people who are not yours

Making and decorating is important in its place,

But everything should have a limit and price

Begum's point of view ...

Women's world is something else

Gold, jewelry, diamonds, branded purses, sandals, designer wears, clothes, makeup, decorative items

All of these are dazzling for women, all of them are part of their happiness - and it is not possible for men to understand this.

Therefore, instead of pointing fingers at women's thinking, men should accept this nature of theirs from the heart, and should put something in front of women that does not deny their nature - but rather acknowledges it

And try to understand their desires with respect

The gap between desire and reality ...

Someone has said it well:

"The greatest wealth of a person is contentment, and all "The greatest poverty is greed"

The fact is that the Jimmy Choo sandals (which we saw) were worth about 4 lakh rupees

The desire is to buy those sandals - because they have captured the heart

But on top of that desire, there is another fact that my pocket cannot afford them

Accepting and understanding this fact - is extremely important for both husband and wife - if they want to live a happy life

The bitter truth is that will we ever be able to buy such a thing in life, will I ever be able to fulfill this wish of Begum, can branded things be easy for me?

These are the facts that husband and wife should sit down and discuss with each other, so that the mood does not get spoiled while wandering around such a mall - and unnecessary arguments and arguments can be avoided

The name of this awareness is mature thinking

That despite the desire, the reality should be accepted

In conclusion.

If Allah has given you so much that you have extra money to fulfill these desires, then you should not leave any regret in your heart

Save money and fulfill the desires of your heart and your family - because these small pleasures are indeed expensive, but they help in living a happy life and make life beautiful

And if you know that you cannot do all these expenses even if you want to - then instead of being sad, start smiling and being grateful when you see things - this will give you the courage to move forward in life

The point is to explain to wives,

then explain to them a million times, even then women always want to buy such things - this is their nature - nothing can happen to this

So instead of spoiling the environment, men should come up with how to please their wives, Keep hope alive, listen carefully to their wishes and bring back the smile on their faces by promising next season

Because,

sometimes it's not "Jimmy Choo",

but the smile that is the real treasure that comes to a woman's face - because of the hope that men create in their hearts.
