Naked truth about gambler

Naked truth about gambler

MAUMERE, East Nusa Tenggara (JP): A 45-year-old housewife
walked down the street wearing only her panties after finding out
her husband had broken his promise to quit gambling over the
weekend.

Siti Amina was outraged to find her husband Ahmad, 48, in a
motel bar early last Saturday. Ahmad, an elementary school
teacher, failed to return home Friday night and when confronted
in the bar admitted he had been gambling all night.

Drunk and appearing tired, Ahmad was offended when Amina
demanded to know why he hadn't come home the night before and
gave him a tongue-lashing, witnesses said.

People hanging around the bar could hardly believed their eyes
when Amina, screaming hysterically, stripped off and briskly left
the bar almost naked and headed home, about one kilometer away,
Pos Kupang reported.

Aminah told her neighbors she was frustrated by her husband's
failure to kick his habit, which often triggered family spats.
Ahmad, she said, had made a written statement pledging to repent
and become a good father.

The incident has sparked the curiosity of district education
and culture office chief Antoni Bagul Dagur, who said he would
find out why it happened. (yac/pan)
