The Story I Mentioned Last Time
The story is about an interview of an ordinary man who married a rich businesswoman. It is sort of a distorted love. Although living in a huge room together, they seem to lead complete separate lives. The wife is invariably busy managing her business, while the husband, without having to work, leads a despairingly vacant life. He usually stays at bars and other entertaining places until two o’clock in the morning. He wears extremely expensive shirts. He would pay bills for others just to let them accompany him for another hour. The only time he and his wife get together is every Sunday. Their different financial status and background becomes an insurmountable communication barrier. The husband does not understand most part of his wife’s life, and nor does she understand his. The only way for her to show her love is to spend extravagantly for him. Her success has become a stigma of his self-respect. She has tried to give a new business to his husband, but because he does not know how to manage a business, it only becomes a reminder of their difference. He resents their fortune, envies ordinary couples, but at the same time the money is the sole connection that binds them together.
