They lived near Kal Superpit in Western Australia. Each day, Geetha used to embrace her husband, Peter, with love. Kalgoorlie-Boulder is located approximately 600 km east-northeast of Perth. The weather is nice most of the time. Peter was a humble man, simple, cheerful, and easy-going. His immediate junior, Lakhan, was a smart man. Lakhan was sharp in noticing even the smallest gold drop in the mines. His wife, Ruthi, was suffused with arrogance. The arrogance that her husband is so high flying, that one day very soon, he would take away the best mining industry in the world.
This place features diverse roles, including truck drivers, shovel operators, geologists, and metallurgists. With AI job losses, mining jobs give a sense of satisfaction. There are a lot of women in work too. But Ruthi took it upon herself to please the senior wives and make sure Lakhan gets his way up the ladder.
At many events organized by mining associations worldwide, she represented Lakhan. Her arrogance was so high that she used to look down on Geetha. She demeaned Geetha at so many parties. Geetha used to cry for hours, often asking God what her fault was. Why can’t women in this place live in harmony?

Geetha often went to church and asked why I was looked down on. I left my high-paying job just to be looked down at?
Geetha told Peter this. Peter was a humble man. He said to Geetha, “Look, all this would be over soon. Lakhan would move to the International Mining Association, given his credits, you won’t have to face Ruthi more then.”
“Why would we be here only, and they would touch international skies?”
Oh, this womanly quarrel never seemed to end. To this, Peter said, “Believe in God, you would be your worth, my golden star.”
Geetha cried “Why am I being looked down on?” Just because her husband was not a high flyer in his profession. Why are women being compared when men are at work?
Some days later, Geetha was doing normal chores. She prepared a cheese sandwich, Peter’s favorite breakfast.
Peter took his lunch and said, I’ll have lunch with my team at mine.
He prayed to God at home, then drove away.
Geetha was busy cleaning the kitchen.
Suddenly, she got a call. Saying, “Geetha, you have to reach Ruthi’s house now”, another woman from the wife’s group of miners called in.
She said, “Why am I working?”
“You have to come now.”
She went to Ruthi’s house on her scooter.
Five women stood, all looking shocked.
A woman, Rita said to Geetha, “You know Lakhan is the next chief of the mining association in the world.”
To this, Geetha replied, “Yes, I know he is.”
Ruthi looked at her in a stern look and said, “So call your husband, and tell him to give up his credit to Lakhan.”
Soon, a call came on Geetha’s phone; it was Peter.
“Sorry, Mrs. Ruthi, I want to attend a call, it seems urgent, he never calls at this time.”
“Wait..”
By the time she could have finished her sentence, Geetha attended the call.
“What?” Geetha said,
“Yes, Geetha, I discovered rare diamonds nearby.”
“We don’t need to work here anymore.”
“Really”
“Yes, I got an offer form diamond firm.”
Geetha was so happy. She didn’t look at any woman there and ran out on her scooter.
She said on the phone, “I am coming.”
“Wait, Geetha, there are cameramen here, dress up before coming.”
“I don’t care.”
“By God’s grace, we are blessed. God heard our prayers. I won’t be looked down on by anyone now.”
Geetha and Peter shifted to another location and lived happily ever after.
Geetha was in power, and she made sure women were not swayed by their husbands’ success or failure, but by their own merits.
