 Mistress of Nenita's husband.

 THEME:
 The story’s theme is Gender Inequalities. Gender inequality is a loose end of gender
roles. It depicts that there are limit and that it's being offensive and insensitive to the
two genders. Each gender has its role and freedom to do it solemnly. Every story has its
own moral lesson, for me, the moral of the story is to never cheat to your partner.
Marriage is a sacred thing to cheat on and everything has its own consequences.
