ONE NIGHT WITH YOUR WIFE

      Seven years ago, the same day he proposed her. One year leaped in touching the peaks and feeling the depths of great love they got married. Till then its two hearts trying to pursue each other in a box called bond. Things went on well and good. Both got employed with a decent salary and got busy in lives, bit still feeling the tinge of love. But have to go with the natural phenomena; they slowly replaced their hearts with their brains in the bond they share. And yet another natural process is the brains continue to grow in size in different directions, people call it by different names, some call it maturity, and some say independence and so on. Whatever may be the name, the box is losing its shape because of the uneven forces.  They entered late twenties. The contents of the box grow bigger and the box started to run out of space and the ability to adjust, both of them were able to feel that. They began to look the same things that happened before in a different direction and small fights turning to long lasting ones. Even before they used to have big quarrels, but these are different, completely different no love! No pleasure! Completely filled with Ego! A single sorry in peace would have ended it all, but both of them in the name of so called maturity and individuality didn’t cared to say it. As both the brains are getting suffocatingly close, they got that much departed.

One day, as usual he is in a hurry getting ready for office. By mistake the photo frame having their photos fell down. That was his favorite. Even though he is running out of time, he spared few minutes to clear the mess and to have a look at the photos. he looked at HIM AND HER around seven years ago and then he shifted his gaze to mirror to see himself now. He is looking athimself in the mirror how he changed over time physically and mentally. heagain looked at their photos and a glance of them being happy ran through his mind. Sadly he doesn’t have time for all this. he kept the broken frame there and began to hurry. But something stopped him. his image in the mirror is getting faded slowly and morphed to something else what he was a few years ago. Young, energetic, charming and HAPPY HE. He can’t believe what he is seeing. he is now seeing HIMSELF. he tried to touch the mirror and get out of the illusion. No use, as he stretched his hand, but HE began to speak to himdirectly dabbing him down in to astonishment.

“Hi how are you?”

Before he could gather his senses, HE replied “hmm, don’t try to answer, I know what you are projecting and what you are.”

“What did you promised HER when you are taking the step and what you are doing now?”

“Of course she is not abiding to the promises she make, but you can still make a difference!”

“Want those days back?”

he sprang to his feet to say “Yes, tell me what it takes. I am ready to give anything for that. Tell me. What should I do?”

“Just allow me to replace you with me.  I will get those days back in yourlife. One night with your wife. And you feel the same old days repeating themselves in your life.”

“Okay.”

As he agreed to follow HIS words, he is back at home that day early than usual and started preparing dinner for her. It is almost 5 years he stopped cooking, but still he is good at it. he swept the floor and made the house glow again by arranging some party lights and done everything that will poke her in amazement when she entered the flat. All he has to do is obey HIM and bring back HER in her.

Everything is as perfect as HE planned and she was shocked to see what’s happening.

“Get ready darling. I will have the dinner ready” he said.

Since the morning he tried to walk in HIS shoes and by the evening he is almost HE again.

With a small gift he welcomed her to the table and served her dinner. With no clue of what is happening she seemed to be more shocked than enjoying the dinner.

“Sorry for everything” he said the three magical words that they have been waiting since long time to hear from the each other.

And then they began to discuss every small issue they had in their plates and everything seemed so trivial after they are back!. Not a single issue had a concrete reason to remain. Things seem to be much clear and clean as they were at the start of the journey.

Both are in tears as they found themselves back.

“So what made you do this? What so special with this day? ” she asked clearing her tears in a choking tone.

“Not our marriage anniversary, or the day we met or we proposed. Today is the day I found myself and got you back”, he caressed her lips with his and they lived happily ever after.

P.S: As everyone says love stales, decays or whatever may be the word if something stales or decays there should be some other way to get it back. Love is everywhere especially when you look back you will definitely find its abundance. All you need to do is just copy and paste.

Happy copy & pasting.
