Its now 6 years past that I have been married to this smart and intelligent young soul "Ganesh". Unlike every husband, he has his flaws of not expressing his love as a wife expects, not giving the quality time as expected by the wife, and the list goes on. But, that does not stop me from loving him. I love his flaws too as I love this handsome hunk!!!
The day 29th June 2016, was unlike any other day. Get up, cook, get ready and rush for office to login On-time. But, a small difference was, Chennai had a beautiful weather and it was raining all night and was a cool drizzling morning! It was too romantic a day, to spend a good time with your beloved. Wish I had a magic wand and could make a wish and we both disappear in the air and find ourselves among the nature and in each other's arms... aaahhhh!!! What a thought... I love myself of being so romantic and expressive in what I think ;) ... And then I come back to reality of the nature, where I need to hurry and make sure I do not miss the local train and end up late in office.
We (husband & wife duo) as usual rush to the crowded platform and board the train just entering the platform. Me in the Ladies compartment and he in the adjacent First Class compartment. The train pulls off, and from where I stand, I see a tall guy in his red colored jerkin near the door. As the speed increases, the drizzle hits his face and he tries to defend the drops coming his way. The cool breeze takes it turn and passes through his hair making it sway to is tune. I stand there frozen by the handsome look of the guy and the perfect manliness. And suddenly I hear the song in my head "Thalli Pogathe..." (meaning do not go away from me) and realize it is from the mobile which is connected by the headset and is the perfect timing. The lyrics make me feel as if I am singing to this guy who has stolen my heart yet again. As each station comes by, I see him get down for the people to get down and board and keep looking at him so that he does not miss the train and board back safely in the crowd. On the other hand, I keep a note of the station that I need to get down, else it will be a double work for me to come back. In the past, I have missed my station day dreaming or reading and had to take the return train to my station.
Now, back to this handsome hunk, he didn't even notice me looking or rather admiring his every move and every time he tried looking towards where I stood, my heart skipped a beat. The station came where we had to get down and I hurried and started walking with the crowd to be on time to office. In the meanwhile, looking around casually to see if I see this guy again somewhere ahead of me so that I can double and go near him. Slowly, but in a steady pace, I take the stairs down and I see him walking just in front of me. I double my steps and make my way just beside him and before I could think or decide, I hold his hands tight in mine. He looked at me and gave a heart melting smile. I started blushing and was pink all over. What a moment it was... I can cherish that moment always. It felt so comfortable when he made sure to hold my hand tightly, and whispered softly, "Your hands are so cold!!" "Yes, they are. That is why I am holding your warm hands Ganesh!!" was my reply with a smile which was 1000 watts and I felt the love that we had for each other.
We held our hands tight, as if new lovers or newly married couples, until we took our autos to our respective workplace. I was smiling all the way to office as I realized that I love this Man even more than what I did when we got married or before that. He not just loves me but loves and bears with all my tantrums that comes out only in front of him. I fight with him for no or silliest reasons, and make faces and do not talk to him for hours. But, he never gave up on me or his love for me. I know somewhere inside, he would be comparing me with other perfect shaped and attitude wife/women. I try my best to fit in that category and fail most of the time. But, I do not see him not love me. As most of the men or husbands, to be precise, he is not as much expressive as I expect him to be. Ganesh, was, is, and will be mine forever! For me he has been everything and much more than what I had wished for. And as days, weeks and years pass by, my LOVE for him will only grow.
