The Story Of Mr B

There was this guy Mr B. His is not a rags to riches or vice-versa tale. He is called Mr B because he was never good enough for an A and never bad enough or average enough for a C. He was more of an A-, but for simplicity sake we call him Mr B. Well getting back to the story, Mr B was born to a middle-class family. All through school, he never did anything special. He wasn't the fastest athlete, but again he wasn't the slowest. He never stood first in school(God knows he tried, but it was always his best friend sitting behind that stole the honours by 1 mark). He had 1 thing going for him and that was the fact that he was liked universally and people thought of him to be a really nice person. His parents loved him for his obedience, his friends for his love and his teachers for his earnest.

Years passed and Mr B went to college without even thinking of the opposite sex. His thoughts only centred around his career and the kind of life he could give his parents(afterall he was a nice guy). Fresh attempts were made again, and they bore the fruit of a second rank in the university. Things were going great till he saw her face. She was so beautiful. Well if we call him Mr B, she had to be Ms A and a perfect A at that. Everything about her was jst so nice. So then Mr B and Ms A are friends and things take a turn towards Heaven 7, and when the signal on St Peters goes green, fate decides a U-turn is called for. Ms A thinks she cant go on with this without parental consent and what was she expecting, her mother to be Elizabeth Taylor.

So now Mr B decides to move on. He gets back to where he left off. He decides its best to go west and chase his dreams. He finishes off all his academic aspirations and lands a great job....6000$ a month. That was not as uch as he called fo, but it was enough. So now that he earns so much, his parents think the next logical thing would definitely be to get him...you know what. He never thought Ms A could be replaced, but as life tells you often the impossible is really not that impossible...only slightly. The wedding is grand, lots of guests who look at the couple, some in admiration with the match, some with amusement, some in jealousy(My daughters husband earns 7000$ and hes been there for the last 4 years, Mr B only for 2 hahahahhahha).

So all is set Mr B still works for the same company, 20 years after starting his professional life. Well there is a difference. He now gets paid 40,000$ a month and is Vice President of the company. Right now he is being awarded by his colleagues. They are congratulating him on having completed 20 years. Someone remarks in the ceremony "Mr B, you really have had a rewarding journey. There would have been so many obstacles. What was it that took you so far?"

Mr B was never too good with words. he preferred to act. But this was an occasion that demanded somethign be said. "Well I saw a lot happening around. What can I say.... I stuck around...that's it...I just stuck around."
