Little Did She Know
“Darling, you must not exert yourself. Stay in the bed, I’ll get breakfast for you.”
“You stay here and finish your work, I’ll get it.”
I am lucky to have a caring husband like him, she mused.
Little did she know, that he needed the coast to be clear while he flirted with the maid.

Never trust a sweet talking guy… there is a saying in Sanskrit “ati vinayam dhoorta lakshanam” which means too much of courteousness and politeness is the sign of a rogue.
January 19, 2014 6:59 pm|
Well said! Such guys can never be trusted!
January 18, 2014 8:28 am|
