He came back home from office. The house was still silent. He knew that she is there in the house. But he couldn’t sense the normal energy around. It all sounded dull. He knew the fight they had in the morning was not over yet. It was the new battle of egos which both of them had to tackle till one give up. It’s not even a year passed to their marriage and these small fights have already started to surface in their life to spice up their love.
If you know your partner really well then even the surrounding of your house starts speaking with you. So he was sure that the fight won’t be over till the time either of them gives up. And he was also sure that there will be ambient conditions created so that he will give up and she will get the satisfaction of winning. But today he was in no mood giving up so easily.
He entered the house and was ready for the game. She too knowing him fully was equally prepared and well equipped for the game.
By the time he was changing and getting fresh, she made tea for him. After getting fresh he simply switched on the TV and sat on the sofa. The tea was served on the teapoy. Mind you, not a single word exchanged so far.
He simply takes the first sip of tea and he knows to the core that yes I know her better and everything is going as per the plan. It is the sweet tea which he loves with extra milk in it. By the way she hates sweet tea and milk is strictly a big NO for her. But today she will have both as she is expecting him to give up. But that’s not enough to resolve the impasse between them.
Meanwhile he is thinking what happened in the morning. After all guys will be guys! He has completely forgotten the reason for the fight. Oh yeah, he was getting late for office in the morning and he was wearing a shirt which wasn’t all that suitable for the trouser he was wearing. But that reason was good enough for her to get angry. Can you believe this? Then came emotional dialogue cant you do even this much for me? And he sternly refused to change. And that was it! He was glad that at least he was remembering the reason for fight. That was good enough for him to continue with fight for some time. After all he doesn’t wish to win it; he just needs to drag it a bit.
By the way even she was aware that only tea of his choice wasn’t enough considering the reason for fight. But again girls will be girls. Hence she was still expecting him to say sorry for the morning incidence. After all he is now my husband. How can he wear something so shabby! That is certainly a reason to be angry on! She was determined to prove her point. Hence she simply finished her tea and went inside.
He was observing her and was certain that she is all set to prove her point. After being in relationship with her for so long he knew exactly what’s going on in her mind. But he was curious about her way to prove her point. And was sure that, the way will certainly be new and different too!
And she didn’t disappoint him either. She came out with her hair uncombed, face colored like joker, wearing night dress and blazer on top of it with 2 different colored shoes in 2 legs, mickey mouse bag on her back, and with each nail colored in different color. And said lets move out, I have to do some shopping.
And he was not left with any other option but to laugh like crazy. He actually fed down from sofa laughing really hard. And finally when his breathing came down to normal he said, ok I give up and now wash those fluorescent blue, fluorescent green colored nails first and I promise you not be shabby like today!
