Read this short story.

A young poor man was in love with the daughter of a rich man. He decided that he wanted to marry her and wanted to propose to her. As he decided, so he did. Instead of a positive answer, the poor boy received a repulsive and not so nice answer. The rich girl, in addition to rejecting his marriage proposal, asked him how he could even think that she would marry him. She told him that he did not earn enough to be with her and that her daily pocket money was equal to his monthly salary. So the two could not be together. He was not worthy of her. The rich girl told him that he should find a woman who would be at his level. You can only imagine how the boy felt at that moment. His heart was torn to pieces. His world has collapsed.

It has been a long time since then, the boy grew into an adult man, but still did not forget his first love. They accidentally ran into each other in a shopping mall. The girl recognized him and greeted him. She immediately boasted that she was now married to a man who earns a lot of money. She boasted that she had a smart husband. She arrogantly asked him if he could reach that level? At that moment, her husband approached them. The husband immediately began to explain that the lady met his boss who has a huge company and from which he earns a million dollars. The woman was shocked to learn that she had actually met her husband’s boss at that moment. Yes it is the same poor boy who had refused to marry him many years ago. Her husband went on to explain that his boss wanted a girl too much, but he could not win her heart, so he has not married since. The husband said that the girl would be really happy, because his boss loved her too much.
