THE AMAZING WAY OF REPAYMENT OF DEBT

During the period I was posted as head of the Zonal vigilance cell Kolkata,I had the experience of getting the taste of this noble way, never thought of or even dreamt of me ever.Let me first clarify that the expectations of those waiting eagerly for a blood spinning thriller will be belied as it is not a story of fraud forgery or thriller but simply an eye opener to show how easily a man can be hoodwinked.Infact it  may be treated as a confession as how big a fool I am.
Dharani was our sub staff.A young man of 30 to 35 years of age extremely obedient loyal and disciplined.He kept his family at his native place Bankura a district town about 200 kms away from Kolkata.on every Saturday he used to go to his native place only to come on Monday.He had applied for his transfer to Bankura and requested me to follow up.I did my level best only to bear fruit at a later date but not immediately.
Meanwhile on one Monday he approached me very politely for an amount of Rs 100/only with an assurance that the same would be repaid to me within next four days.i gave him that money and he too repaid it on the next Thursday.Again on Monday he borrowed rs100/ from me and paid on Thursday.This process was repeated four or five times. Inquisitively I asked him as why he was doing like that and I even proposed to extend the repayment period say by 2months so that he could tide over his crisis.He flatly refused saying sir one must keep his commitment come what may.I may borrow money but to prove my intention I must pay it on the appointed day without any fail.He even thanked me for my indulgence and proposal to extend the repayment period saying,inter alia,extended repayment period was not feasible in view of the fact he might forget his commitment due to absence of his mental pressure unlike repayment in short time.Hence he preferred short time repayment only to borrow further  if need be.
This was going on well and meanwhile his transfer order to a branch nearer to his village came.on the date of relieving after completion of all formalities, he came to my chamber and said sir today is Tuesday.And I was supposed to pay you on Thursday .How could I pay you two days before and hence I  was making one arrangement.He then called the lady stenographer of our department and asked her Didi(madam)Every Thursday you pay sir rs100/ and sir every Monday you pay Didi Rs 100/.Now this becomes your matter only and I donot want to be a party to it.Both of us went speechless and motionless for few minutes
I could understand that the original amount borrowed from me on one Monday was spent by him and he borrowed rs100/from madam on Thursday to repay me and again on Monday from me to repay her on Thursday and the chain was repeated.Needless to mention Madam did not pay the amount on Thursday and I was the sufferer.A nice method of ever greening indeed.
