The wife, feeling uneasy about her husband’s behavior, decided to check his phone. She found three contacts that made her suspicious:
“The tender one”
“The amazing one”
“Lady of my dreams”
Heart pounding, she called the first number.
Conversation 1:
Mother: “Hello?”
Wife: “Uh, hi. Who is this?”
Mother: “This is David’s mother. Who is this?”
Wife: (relieved but embarrassed) “Oh, it’s me, Sarah. I didn’t realize… Sorry for the disturbance.”
Mother: “No problem, dear. Is everything okay?”
Wife: “Yes, everything is fine. Thank you.”
Feeling a bit silly but still determined, she dialed the second number.
Conversation 2:
Sister: “Hey there!”
Wife: “Hi, um, who am I speaking to?”
Sister: “It’s Anna, David’s sister. Who’s this?”
Wife: (sighs in relief) “Oh, Anna, it’s Sarah. Sorry, I didn’t recognize the number.”
Sister: “No worries, what’s up?”
Wife: “Nothing, just wanted to check something. Thanks.”
Her anxiety rising, she called the third number. To her shock, her own phone began to ring.
Conversation 3:
Wife: (answering her phone) “Hello?”
Husband: “Sarah? Why are you calling yourself?”
Wife: (voice breaking) “David, I… I found these numbers in your phone and thought…”
Husband: (laughing) “Oh, Sarah, those are just my nicknames for the people I love. My mom, my sister, and you.”
Realizing she had wrongly suspected her husband, she cried until her eyes were swollen. In an attempt to make amends, she gave him her entire month’s salary as a gesture of love and apology.
The husband used the money to buy a gift for his girlfriend, whose number was saved as ‘Uncle Mike the mechanic.’
