A very sad and unfortunate story

This story starts with a happy moment for an old couple in thie 60's.

It begins like this ............a very fine day, they receive news that in a month or two, there will be a family reunion . They were very happy and anxiously waited for the day to arrive. These family members who live in different countries have not met for a number of years.

The days for waiting ended when the first couple arrived after traveling for 12 hours in a plane. There were smiles and hugs and a lot of tales to tell. Later in the day the second batch arrived very late. As it was very late they were not greeted by the host, and they stayed at a hotel. The next morning, the host went to fetch them. They proceed to the house of the host. On arrival, they were greeted by the rest of the family. There were full of joy and happiness and each one had a lot of stories to tell.

This happiness came to a sudden halt, when questions were raised on where to stay and bla bla bla....Many suggestions were made and the guests agreed to whatever offered. As the days passed, a lot of comments were exchanged, and certain parties engaged in unnecessary remarks which ended in anger and disgust. The next day came and one party suggested to return to their homeland. They left the fourth day of their visit with unhappiness promising themselves not to come back again.

The rest stayed behind, but we're not happy with their stay. The HOST was in a very sad state and was very sorry he could not satisfy the expectations of the guests.

The worst moment came when the host's car had problems and had to be towed to the garage for repairs. The quotation for the repairs came to a very unexpected price, and the host was unable to pay the bill. The host became very sad because he has to lose the only transport he had. This episode changed his hopes for a comfortable life . His family had to share his fate.

This is what I term as " A DISASTER ". This story explains how happiness can not only turn to sorrow, but....hate. Whatever happened, has happened and left a scar of unhappiness.
