“I had committed the blunder again”.!!!!My
grey matter had ditched me. It was my 6th marriage anniversary the day before and I had completely forgotten
about that. This was like “blunder repeated” since I had forgotten the
anniversary date the previous year
too…Last year somehow I managed to escape from the consequences but this
time the aftermath of the blunder had
manifested in a furious way…..
“Furious reserved
looks; silent tantrums; generally don’t look good on a pretty face. Especially
if they are intended for you. But that was what I was getting from my wife;
that too in myriad amounts in response to my blooper..”So here I was a poor chap,
feeling guilty of forgetting anniversary date and figuring out ways to convince
his angry wife…”.
Next up I was in
front of my laptop with Google on screen. It’s an unequivocal belief among all
engineers that Google is one stop destination wherein all your queries get
answered. Be it a professional question,or a personal question or any damn
thing…the first thing we engineers think is Google. And since I am no different
I decided to take help of “God” like
Google with a hope to tackle my situation. I keyed in the phrase “How
to console your enraged wife”…..There were myriad of results for this
but none of them was convincing enough .There was no tailor made result
considering the fact that my wife is a unique creature….
Dismayed by these
series of events I shut my laptop with a thud and sat on the couch . My eyes
were staring at the roof ,walls hoping to get an answer. While i was busy
staring ,the shelf caught my attention. I saw our marriage album lying there.
My mind told me go pick it up. I obliged….And you know what after that
something amazing happened……
I was flipping
through the different photos. One picture got my attention. It was a single photo of my
wife in her bridal attire. She was looking stunning in it. I felt guilty for
having disappointed such a beautiful wife. I kept on looking at the picture. I
noticed her alluring dimple…for the first time which I didn’t even have a
clue about all these 6 years. I just thought how bad I am in observing and
perceiving beauty. The longer I looked at it more the finer and exquisite
things I found out which I hadn’t observed all these years….
As I was observing
the picture a chord struck in my mind. Yuppie I had found my answer. I recollected
someone saying that “Women folk appreciate when you observe and
appreciate those finer things about them”. Taking cue from that I texted
my wife who was in other room.
”Hey dear, was looking
at the marriage photo. And trust me your dimple is elegant. I am falling for it
“…
I was waiting for her reply.5 minutes had passed .There was
no sign of reply .I was just on the verge of accepting disappointment but then I saw that my mobile beeped. I was
elated and opened the message with excitement. But when I read the message I was
agitated….
“It was from a bank,
about house loan”
I threw the mobile and decided that staring at the wall is
the best thing I can do.Just a couple of minutes later my phone beeped again.
It was an endorphin rush when I checked it …It was from my wife …the
message read
“Hmmmmm J J”
I was like girls and their “hmmmmms”.
I replied her back “Can
I have the privilege of witnessing that alluring dimple”
I was waiting for her reply .Just then I heard the sound of
door getting unlocked. The plan had worked. She came out and stood in front of
me with her hand on her waist and a made up angry face which had a tinge of smile
highlighted by the beautiful dimple”. This was followed by some tantrums from her.
But I knew that the anger had finally melted
My grey matter was finally helping me now…I recollected that
my wife loves nocturnal long drives. So I asked her “How about a long drive tonight”….She was more than happy. She just
hugged me and said yes….In the
meanwhile I decided to present my wife with an anniversary gift …So I went out
to purchase one….

The Evening
We were all set to
go out for the drive. She came out of her dressing room clad in a beautiful
skirt..She asked
“How am I looking”.
.I said “you look stunning but…” ..
She replied “But
what??”
I said “With you hairs
open you will look more beautiful”..
She smiled and said “give me a minute”..She rushed to her
dressing room and came back with her hairs open…Trust me friends “Looking
at her I was going weak in my knees”….
We got into the car
and got started…..It was a happy and romantic vibe inside the car….She asked me
to put on some music…I switched it on…Then something struck in mind. I was like
why not dedicate a song to her…I said “hey dear this song is for you” and played
“Soniyo Soniyo tumhe dekhtahun to soch ta hoon…..”.
She turned red in her face…and said thank you in her mellow voice….
As the drive continued she asked where are we heading ???? I
replied “It’s a surprise for you”.As I
had already told that my wife is a unique creature…She had some unique inclinations.
She had once told me that she loved to drink tea in small tea shops that are present on the outskirts of city. She
had done lot of this stuff during her college days.And I thought why not do it
today….And you see I had understood that “A sure shot way to make a person happy is to
understand those small things that make them happy and do it for them”.
So I parked my vehicle in front of a small tea shop on the highway.
She was amazed and questioned me “What
are we doing here”…I replied “ hey how can you forget this. Don't you
remember you love this?”..She then smiled and hit me on my arms and said “chalo”….Her happiness was radiating…I
could feel it and so was mine….
-------------------------------------*-------------------------------------------------------*-------------------------------------------
We got back into the car and continued our journey..I was
now waiting for the perfect moment to present her the anniversary gift…And
guess what nature came to my help. Rain God Started pouring drizzles to
enhance the romantic vibe…I decided to seize the moment and parked the
vehicle ...
I asked her to get out of the car stating “lets enjoy the rain”…She was reluctant
but yielded to the persuasion. She was like
what is wrong with you…?I replied “You
will get to know and grinned”.
I opened the platinum love band and held it in
front of her. She depicted a feeling of amazement amalgamated with happiness.
I had a plethora of options to present
her but the platinum love band surpassed everything. The way it signified and symbolized love was unmatched and
unavailable in other gifts.Hence I chose Platinum Love band to celebrate love.
I went on my knees, took her hand and slid the platinum ring
expressing my feelings through this poem which I had written for her
"Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder"
Is what the world said
It is the unequivocal truth
My thoughts said
But my thoughts transformed,
The truth became a lie,
When i saw you
Because
Beauty lies in your eyes
Because
Beauty lies in your face
Because
Beauty lies in you...
A tight hug and a warm kiss was what I got in response….
J J I felt like I was in love again --Obviously with my wife!!!.But
this time the love was much more intense than ever
