searching for a good wife

Observing many people getting marriage, one day I decided to get a wife and told to a lot of people to find a good girl for me. 

Then, one of my elder brothers asked me whether I was serious on the matter

“Do you really want to get married?” 

“Of course yes.” I replied.

“So, why don’t I give you somebody’s phone number? She needs a husband as well.”

“Is she beautiful?” i asked him curiously.

“Not that much. However that’s for me. But she might be OK for you.” Replied my brother.

“Does she have a job?” I asked him in the same curious spirit.

“Yes she does. She even works in an NGO.”

“N.G.O. Wow that is fabulous! How much is her salary?”

“About two thousand Birr.”

“Two thousand birr?”

 (I became shocked, because my wage was only one fourth of that of her wage)

“Are you sure? If so, give me her cell phone number right now please.”

He gave me her cell phone number. Then, I called her immediately. 

There was a beautiful sound from the other side of the receiver.

“Hello… Sara?” (I changed her real name for the sake of her privacy) 

“Yes who is this?”

“I am Dawit, the one who seek for a good wife”

“What!?... who seek for a good wife!?” she repeated my saying and there was a big surprise in her sound.    

“Yes, somebody told me you are looking for a husband and…” I said. 

 I lied her how I could get her cell phone number. Because my brother told me not to tell her he was the one, gave me her number. However, she was astonished and we decided to meet on the next day.
 For your surprise, it was in her own home we first met. She was lying on the big sofa.

Shaking my hand, she told me why she didn’t go to work. She got a knee jerk.

“I am sorry, have you been hurt?” I said sitting on the sofa in front of her.

“No am not, it is easy not too bad.” She replied, couldn't hiding her bewilderment in her eyes.

We talked a lot about everything; our age, work, and salary, what we love, what we hate and so on. Frankly speaking she wasn’t a woman I expected; she does so.

So, she said,

 “The husband that I need must be a one who do what I ordered him to do.”

 “What about you, are you too ready to be just as what he ordered you to be?”

I asked her

“It doesn’t concern me.” She said giggling.

“How it could be?”

“Suppose my husband is watching television in the night, and he has to say nothing when I switch off the television, and taking him to the bed room. why not he is reading a newspaper, if I need to talk to him, he has to stop reading and be ordered for my desire. Why not sometimes I slap his cheek if I need to do, he has to be calm.”

“If you look for such a husband, I think you need a robot husband, not a human being.” I said angrily. She laughed much and said,

“Did u said robot? No I don’t mean that.”

“Hope you never get such a person on the planet.” I said being in the same spirit.

“There are a lot of matured guys, and beside that you are younger than I am. Do you think you are enough to marry me?” 

she didn’t stop giggling like a donkey. She was right, I lied her my right age. I told her I was thirty, which I borrowed five years from an old friend of mine.

 “Do you think the male must be greater always?” I asked her

“Of course yes because, if the couple are the same age, they don’t respect each other. Suppose you bit me, do you think I don’t bit you back? I do it.” She said laughing;

“Why in the beginning such quarrel between husband and wife?”

“Sometimes there must be quarrel between husbands and wives as it is good for love.”

We talked, and philosophized a lot as well. However our thoughts were like North and South Pole. So finally,

“I think we are not from the same river.” I said her desperately,

“I think so.” She replied desperately too.

“So, are you willing if I bring somebody, your type for you?” (I had a friend who was old and bald just like her desire)

“I would be happy just give him my cell phone number.” She said eagerly.

I took the guy to her home. They understood each other immediately and discussed for a long time forgetting me. However, the girl didn’t change her “slogan” till then. The old friend of mine, who had marriage starvation, agreed by all her saying and she was happy too much.  Finally, they agreed and, begun the relationship as soon as possible.

I asked him how their relationship was one day.

“It is good.” he said nodding his head and, added “do you know what she said?”

“I don’t know. What did she say?”

She said, “take care.”

“What does it mean?”

“You have to take care not to be fall in love with me.”

“How could it be, you, after all are her fiancé?”

“I don’t know what she is thinking.”

“So what did you say her?”

“What can I say? I said, you yourself take care not fall in love with me, not for her actually, for myself.” He made me smile.

Something whispered me that they never go anywhere.

We met again after a long time.

“How about now?” I asked him.

“What do you mean? Don’t you have any dead relative?”

“Are you saying you two broke down the relationship?”

“Of course yes. We divorced, however we didn’t get married yet.”

Since then I have learned that marriage never be successful whether in agency or broker. God only provides good wife.
