Amy was at the restaurant for her sister-in-law, Jenna’s bachelorette party. Her SIL and her husband were incredibly different from each other. Their family would describe Jenna as their golden child, and Alex as their nerdy son. They always wished that Alex to be same as Jenna.
As their night at the restaurant was over, the $1000 bill arrived to their table. Weirdly, the waiter directly brought the bill to Amy. She was confused, as there were 12 other people at the table.
As Amy started to talk, Jenna started, “So, my parents and I were thinking, you and my brother could pick up this bill since you both aren’t contributing financially to my wedding,” she said.
“You thought we’d just agree to this without a discussion?” Amy asked in confusion.
“Well, you’re the wealthiest, and it’s not a big deal for you, right? Plus, Alex wouldn’t mind.” Jenna said.
Amy then texted to her husband in disblief, as she was shocked and confused with the behaviour of her SIL.
Through her husband’s ingenious and subtle suggestion, Amy turned to Jenna, “I’m sorry, today is your special day and I’ve made it all about me.” Amy even reached to Jenna’s hands, and smiled towards her.
Then Amy excused herself to deal with the bill. She took the card which her husband and herself would use for family expenses, and has a lower limit than the expenses of the night. “All taken care of!” She said.
“Sorry ma’am, but the transaction was declined due to insufficient funds.” The waiter returned the card to Amy. Jenna’s face went pale.
Then Jenna called her fiance, and they had an awkward conversation about the financial matters. On the next day, the in-laws called Alex and Amy, and talked about the “embarrassment” Jenna had felt on the last evening. “How dare you treat Jenna that way, especially on such a special….,” Alex’ father said to Amy.
Then Alex turned off the loudspeaker and started to talk. And his response had shocked his parents, as he never had stood up for someone or himself before. He talked about the years of favoritism and neglect in their family, and how they sided with Jenna each time.
As the parents apologized, they understood their wrongdoings towards Alex. “We promise to do better, and although this isn’t an excuse, we truly weren’t aware of how our behavior has been affecting you,” Alex’s mother said.
After this event, the bond and connection of the family got stronger, and their behaviour changed to a more understanding way.
