For an hour, just for an hour
”For an hour, just for an hour , keep the negative thoughts away from your mind and see how your face shines.”
” How do you know whether negative or positive thoughts are passing through my mind, whether my face waxes or wanes? You are not always sitting before me staring at my face.”
”I can watch your face from far and near, from the kitchen or children’s school, even from my mother’s house. No need to put a chair and sit before you”
”Are you a magician or some divine soul with ability to see things beyond the curtain, Ammalu?”
”I am a wife”
” That means you are just a human like you. Then, how is it that I am not able to read your mind even while sitting before you ?. I see many other faces but not yours when I sit face to face with you”
” Because, you are a husband. No surprise. And be cautious, even from the sky, I will be watching you”
”OMG, don’t go to the sky and spy from that high, Ammalu. A known woman is less fearsome than and unknown danger, away in the sky” -
An out-dated doubt
” I’m daunted by a damn doubt, Ammalu”
” Say, ‘a new doubt”. Is it about the possible permutation and combination of the political parties in the next election?””No such silly things. My doubt is about the gold chain of mango-design, your father’s wedding gift.Is it really of 22 carat gold ? ””Date-expired doubt. Yes, there is date expiry for everything. Anyway, for your information, it was 24 carrot when gifted, but now it doesn’t contain even a gram of gold.”.”Hei, that is not acceptable, Ammalu. your people never told me about the possible degradation of the ornament””Look at the mirror. Were you like this when I agreed to marry you? Did your people tell us at that time , that you would become like this.?’” You mean to say that I have lost my luster? ””What is your own opinion ?””I am as lustrous now as I was on our wedding day. Gold and God never lose their luster, my mistress. And for the Hindu wives, husband is the God.””Glad that your doubt is cleared.” -
Wrong place for the right thoughts
