Husband vs Wife, Part 2

Dear Reader, this post is the continuation to "Husband vs Wife, who’ll Win?? " make sure not to miss the first part :)

“Out of every ten good suggestions given to a woman, she’ll follow the eleventh one’, quoted some scholar, I realize how true his words are”, said the husband.

Wife got enraged, “Some egoistic male quoted it and now another one supports it, so sick and self-centered you males are, but without the presence of women, you are but useless fools on this planet.”

As she was ready to curse the whole human race, I interrupted, “Now, it is time you both stop arguing and listen to me. One of you tell me clearly what this argument is actually about”, I gave the choice.

The husband's version, “She wore blue saree to the function at her parent’s home and not the purple one which I’ve given as a gift on her birthday last week. I’m upset that she doesn’t care for what I wish”.

He had another point, “Infact the one I gave is much costlier than that ordinary blue saree of hers. And what will her family think of me? Can’t I afford to provide more luxuries to my wife than what her parents gave her before?”

The wife was ready to strike back, “It’s been almost two years since we got married and my family knows just everything about you, there is no need to show off to them that you keep me happy.”

She had more to say, “And don’t compare the cost, the blue one is a new one too but I choose it cause it gives a homely look and as it was my mother’s place, I wanted to move around at ease, feel the joy of home. If I wore the purple one, it is so heavy that I’ll have to sit at one corner like those elderly ladies”.

“You want to feel the joy of home? So, is this not your home? Am I not giving you enough care and affection? You know how much I love you but still you call home only the place where your parents live, isn’t it??” he turned emotional as he said that.

“Why do you exaggerate that point? A girl has two homes, one, her parents and other, her in-laws, she desires to love both. Did I ever complain on this home? I’m more than happy here, I know how much you care for me, but still sometimes you don’t have patience to understand me”.

The husband spoke again, “So, I'm the one who should always understand you but you won’t take any pains to understand how I feel in front of your family.”

Wife had a point to tell me, “Sai, though ours is a love marriage, my family never had any kinda objection and agreed to our decision. They are not materialistic people and never counted on money or luxuries and I fail to understand why he thinks the same way every time”.

It was a war of words in the beginning. Now suddenly it took a sentimental and emotional turn. I was feeling so helpless, neither I was able to stop the husband nor his wife.

Another ten minutes passed by and they were still arguing on the same topic. It was such a big test for my patience and thanks to my mother, I inherited a mountain of patience from her.

I decided that it is time I come up with some plan to divert this argument, just do something right away or else this looks like it’ll never gonna end and I’m trapped.

Eager to know what happened next?

Then you’ll have to wait just a little more, my next post “Husband vs Wife, Part 3" is already on its way here, it'll share with you the last part :)
