The wife is a wife, whether she is the wife of a sitting prime minister or she is the wife of a common man. Never underestimate the power of the wives. One universal truth is that you have half-relation in every relationship but the wife can’t be a step-wife and vice versa for the husband.

We have a stepmom, stepdad, and step-sibling but you never heard anyone has a step-wife in our society. Commonly, we have a first wife, second wife, and so on but don’t have a step-wife. It is the beauty of this relationship between husband and wife.

Why am I writing here about wives? Let me tell you, previously I used to work as an electrical In-charge in juice factory. There we had a really tough schedule during the season.

As you know, it was a juice factory so the factory ran 24/7 during the mango season. The mango season tenure used to be two consecutive months and the months were June and July.

We had to come factory without any leave for consecutive 60 days including Sundays and the gazette holidays. We used to get sick and tired because of this tough schedule.

Our managing director used to be very strict and big-headed. If he spoke anything to do, it meant you would do it. He didn’t have NO in his dictionary. His instruction was crystal clear even if you became ill, took the pills, and came to the factory at any cost.

Once our plant manager had to go to a party with his wife but the burden of work didn’t allow the plant manager to attend the party. His wife was waiting but the plant manager could not leave the factory at that time.

As a consequence, his wife called the managing director abruptly and the way she shouted at him and talked with a sharp tongue. Why didn’t you release my husband? I had some urgent thing to do. We didn’t sell ourselves to the factory. Blah blah

The next morning, the plant manager came to the factory and let us know about the incident that his wife did yesterday. He let us know, probably, today was the last day at my factory because of his wife’s rude behavior toward the managing director.

But nothing happened a couple of days ahead then this line came into being the wife is a wife whether she is the wife of the prime minister or she is the wife of a common man.

The managing director must have a wife and he knew that the wife is a wife that’s why he didn’t take it seriously and he didn’t fire the plant manager what he was expecting.

As you know diamond cuts a diamond.
