There was a newly wedded couple.

One day the husband said that he wants to go somewhere far to work hard

and earn more so that he can give her a comfortable future. Only one
thing he asks from her and that is to be loyal to him even when he is
not back for a long time.

After quite some days, he got himself hired.

He told the boss, he only ask for one term, that is to allow him to
work as long as he wants, and when he decided to go, the boss must let
him go and pay him whatever he earn.

So the deal was on and the man work for 20 years none stop.

One day, he told the boss, ‘I want to go home now’.

Boss agrees and said he will do according to their agreement. But, he
has a suggestion. He said he has 3 good advices for him, but the man
can only choose either the money or the advices. The boss let the man
to consider.

After 2 days, the man came back and he wanted the advice. The boss
double confirms with the man, if he chose advice, he won’t get his
money. The man still chose the advice.

So, the boss listed the following,

1. Never choose a short cut back home. It will endanger you.

2. Never be curious over anything mysteriously bad.

3. Never made assumption or decision when you are in hatred or
suffering, because you will regret.

After that, the boss gave him 3 buns. 2 for the man to eat on the road,

1 to eat with his wife when home.

After 20 years, finally he is on the way home for his wife. Second day
of the journey, he met a guy. The guy suggested a shorter route for
him.

The man is very excited as he is tired of the long journey. Then the
next second he remembered the boss’s advice. Never choose a short cut.

So he moved on.

Later, he found out that the guy was a con man. The shorter route was a
trap.
Later that night, he checked in to a hotel and slept. Midnight, he was
awaked by a loud scream. He was curious and got up to wanna go find out
what happened. Then, he remembered his boss’s second advice. Never be
curious over anything mysteriously bad. So he stopped and got back to
sleep.

The next morning, the hotel owner asked the man, "did you hear a loud
scream last night?" the man "yes" "aren’t u curious?" "no" "you are the
1st person out here alive" the hotel owner explained to him that his
son had mental problem, he screamed and attracted curious customer and
later killed them and buried them. None live through…

So, the man continued his journey. One evening, he almost reached home.

Saw his house on fire and his wife’s figure in front of the house.

Although it was quite dark, he could see, his wife was not alone. There
was a man leaning on her neck.

At that moment, he was so furious and crossed and hurt at heart that he
felt like immediately run over and kill them. Again, before he could do

it, he thought of the 3rd advice. Never made assumption or decision
when you are in hatred or suffering, because you will regret.

So, he waited till morning. Telling himself that he would return to his

boss and work for him after he express to his wife that he had love her

and be loyal to her all this while….

He went to the house and knock on the door. The wife recognized him and

ran over and hugged him. He felt like pushing her away but he felt
heartache.

Then with tears, he said "I’ve been loyal all these years, but yuo
betrayed me…. "

The wife was shock and replied "what? I’ve never betrayed you and I’ve
waited for you 20 years."

The man "Then who was the man yesterday evening?"

The wife "That’s our son. The time when you left, I was pregnant. He is

20 years old now."

The man went in house and hugged his son. While the wife was cooking
lunch, the man was telling his son about all his experience. Then when
they all sat down to have meal, they started eating the last bun which
the boss asked him to share with his wife. When he pealed open it, a
stack of money laid inside.

That’s his hard earn money for these 20 years……….
