The Cupid Tales

My wife once woke up with a jerk and told me that she had a nightmare. "What was it, baby?" I tended to her at once.  "I had a lot of packages and could not return them as the return date had passed." She had told me. And I could not have loved her more in that moment, thinking about the innocence of her thoughts.

My wife - who had planned three dresses for the day. Me - who had planned to leave at six in the morning and return to hotel only at eight in the night.

 My wife is so middle class that she experiences train lag instead of jet lag.

Auto-correct once corrected one of her words in a text. She marked it abuse and reported it! 😛

 "If I was not there in your life, what would you even do?" She remarked finally putting on her shoes. "I would probably reach places on time." He had the perfect comeback.

Six months of being married, Close to six years of relationship, Even more years of knowing each other, The numbers will only grow 💕 We have laughed together, cried together (mostly you though - because I'm dead inside 😛), traveled together, and what not! I could not have asked for a better partner in all my crimes. Thank you, love. For being with me through my thick and thin, for helping me stand up whenever I fell down. And I promise to do the same for you. #kavinav ❤️

  "Have a great day, baby." She would say. "You too have an amazing day, love" He would respond. It might seem trivial but these words would set him up for the day. He believed in them so much that he would not, or rather, could not start his day without these words.

"Let's store it safely. It will come in handy later." She was confident. "One more? We already have tons of these. In fact, the same bags are now storing myriads of these bags." He was reluctant to add one more to the pile. "Alright, but don't come crying to me when you need one." "Yeah yeah," he ignored her. Few days later...  "Boo, I need a plastic bag. Have you seen one?" "I told you to keep one safely and you said that we had enough already. Go get one from that now 😏" "But I need a plastic one and all those are cloth bags," he tried to defend himself. "Can't hear you, too busy being right." She had already won!

  "Are you mad at me?" He was curious once he noticed the insane amount of silence around. "NO!" came her one word reply. "But I'm not happy either." She had said just enough to give him the tremors.

 There have been countless occasions when he did not agree with her, and had trouble later on. This is one such (cupid) tale. They were on a beautiful beach in Varkala on their customary anniversary trip this year and their enjoyment knew no bounds just like the limitless ocean. "Maybe you should keep the keys to the scooter somewhere safe, away from all this water" she tells him. "Chill it out boo! I've got a good hold of the keys in my hand, and they aren't going anywhere." He tells her causally. "And what if somebody takes them from there, what are we gonna do then?" He adds on. She further tries to put some sense into him, but to no avail. And eventually gives up. Fast forward an hour, it was time for them to say good bye to the friends they had made on the beach. He makes a run to the other end of the beach, and what she had dreaded all along was waiting to happen. He loses balance, and the keys fall off into the vast ocean in waist deep...

So this one time we had to get our phone numbers updated to our Aadhaar card. Upon reaching there, she noticed that the guy at the counter is also taking a new picture of the applicant. As a result, she made us both go back to our apartment, she got ready, and then reached the center again. Fast forward a few minutes, all went good for her. The guy took a new photo of her at the booth and submitted the form with updated details. Or so she thought! A week later, the new cards had come back. Even though the phone numbers were updated, she wasn't happy. Why? Because her new photo wasn't there on her card. And also because I got a reason to tease her till eternity.

You know how nothing could stop Mjölnir from reaching Thor if he had summoned for it. Something similar happens around their home when he calls for her. She would run towards him and simply rest her head in his palms. Lovely, isn't it? There's a catch though. She would only come if she's feeling like it, and she's not mad at him, and she's not doing something important, and maybe a dozen of other stuff 😆 Still makes him worthy though 😉

"Mountains or Beaches... What do you like more?", she was curious. "Beaches." "No, wait. Mountains." "Everything's better with you by my side.", he grinned.

  Him: Beauty and the beast! 💞 Her: Awwww 😚 - - - Wait, I'm the beauty, right? Him:

Eyes squinted, hair all messed up, she hustles through their home, just so that she can hug him. Well, that's how most of her mornings start.

One a night owl and the other an early bird, they found their sweet love at the crack of the dawn.

"So tell me, do you guys fight?" "A lot!" He answered. "Almost every other day." She added. "But the secret is to never go to bed angry", he chuckled.

She eyed him with a look of fury as he entered the room. "Didn't we already make up for this? I could not have possibly done anything after that!!" He was confused and petrified. "Oops, I just remembered that." her face went from angry to innocent to a wide grin, all in a split second.

The minute he left the screen, she put down the cute minion lingo that she chirped all the time. And ran back at the speed of light as she saw him coming back. Upon resuming his unfinished tale, he had a hearty laugh and decided to write about it first. PS. Her minion lingo, in case you're wondering… " tala li potatooooo... banana "

At times, she would say  I love you too  before his lips even began to form those words. As if she simply wanted to put his mind at ease, confessing that she knew what he was thinking. And he would reply, “I love you more,” touched by the connection they shared.
