This story is about a insurance selling . .Mr Ajeeb usually take a walk around the neighborhood in the evening as a form of exercise. he believe that his neighbour is the first person to whom he should sell life insurance. He would blame himself if anything happen to his neighbour when he is not insured. He would hate himself if one day, widow of his neighbour comes to ask for money to buy food for herself and her children. That is why he will do anything to make sure his neighbour have adequate life insurance.
one day during one of his evening walks, Mr Ajeeb passed by a neighbour's house Mr William. Mr Ajeeb had failed to close him on numerous occassions. Mr William was washing his car with his eldest son named Walson. Mr Ajeeb approached and greeted them. They looked at Mr Ajeeb and said "Ajeeb, do you mind if I asked you a question?" He said "No","is there anything wrong with you Ajeeb ? You look very sad today. please tell me if there's anything that I can do to help you?
As matter of fact he was not felling sad but the "sadness" shown on his face was purposely engineered to test them feelings.
He do not answer them but looked right into Mr William eyes and asked him softly "Mr William, if I die, will you attend my funeral?" Mr. William stopped him by saying "What are you talking about ? What kind of joke is this?" Then Mr Ajeeb repeated his question, "if I die,will you come to my funeral? The doctor told me that I have cancer and have only 3months to live. So, will you come to my funeral when I die." He replied "of course, I will attend your funeral." Then he ask again. "if you come to my funeral,how much will you give as donation to my family?" Mr.William said "Why did you ask that for?" "I just want to know how much." Then he answer "I just will donate RM50" Mr.Ajeeb shook his hand and said "thank you, Mr.William. At least when I die,I will be happy because together with your donation, my family can expect to receive about RM5650 in donation."
"but Mr.William,when you die. I will not be attending your funeral. Instead I will lock all my doors and windows and will go for holiday for a couple of a days and will return only after your funeral." Mr.William was very surprised and asked Mr.Ajeeb why.
"Mr.William,you know I an life insurance agent. Most people in the neighbourhood know it too. I don't want to give false hope particularly to your family,friends and relatives. People will ask, how much life insurance you had when you died and I am afraid I cannot answer that question because you are not insured as far as I know. Therefore I have no alternative but to take a short vacation when you die. I hope you can understand why I cannot attend your funeral and I am very sorry about it."
"People will say that I am lousy life insurance agent because I am unable to sell even to a neighbour. if I am around during your funeral, it will be a disadvantage to your family. people will donate less because my presence will give the impression that you are adequately covered and your family is in a sound financial position. As such, your friends and relatives will definitely donate less. How am I to answer when your wife asks me how much insurance you have? I will be in very difficult situation and there is a possibility that your wife will blame and hate me for not selling insurance to you."
" As I said earlier, I will have to take a short vacation when you die. I have no choice and no alternative and I hope you can understand my situation." "but mind you, I won't be enjoying the holiday. it would be the most miserable holiday for me. I will be cursing myself all the time. I just wouldn't know how to face your wife and children."
Mr.William was stunned. After a couple of minutes,he asked a question which Mr.Ajeeb had anticipated. " Mr.Ajeeb,how much do I have to pay for a RM100000 policy?"
After selling Mr.William the policy Mr.Ajeeb told that he would be the first person to come and last to leave Mr.William funeral.
