IMPERFECT
Another story that I like to share about imperfection cos no one is perfect.....They have been married for 2 years.
He loves literature, & often posts his work on the net, but nobody ever reads them. He is also into photography, & he handles their wedding photos. He loves her very much. Likewise with her.
She has a quick temper, & always bullies him.
He is a gentleman, & always gives in to her.
Today, she's being "willful" again.....
Her: "Why can't u be the photographer for my friend's wedding? She promised she'd pay."
Him: "I don't have time that day."
Her: "Humph!"
Him: "Huh?"
Her: "Don't have time? Write less of those novels, & u will have all & get the time u need."
Him: "I... someone will definitely recognize my work some day."
Her: "Humph! I don't care; u'll have to do it for her! "
Him: "No."
Her: "Just this once?"
Him: "No."
Negotiation's broken.
So, she gave the final warning: "Give me a Yes within three days, or else..."
First day ********
She "withheld" the kitchen, bathroom, computer, refrigerator, television, hi-fi... Except the double bed, to show her "benevolence". Of course, she has to sleep on it too. He didn't mind, as he still has some cash in his pockets.
Second day **********
She conducted a raid & removed everything from his pockets & warned, "Seek any external help, & u bear the consequences." He's nervous now.
Night ******
On the bed. He begs for mercy, hoping that she'll end this state. She doesn't give a damn. No way am I giving in, whatever he says. Until he agrees.
Third day - Night ***************On the Bed.
He's lying on the bed, looking to 1 side. She's lying on the bed, looking to the other side.
Him: "We need to talk."
Her: "Unless it's about the wedding, forget it."
Him: "It's something very important."
She remains silent.
Him: "Let's get a divorce."
She did not believe her ears.
Him: "I got to know a girl."
She's totally angry, & wanted to hit him. But she held it down, wanting to let him finish. But her eyes already felt wet. He took a photo out from his chest. Probably from his undershirt pocket, that's the only place she didn't go through yesterday. How careless.
Him: "She's a nice girl."
Her tears fell.
Him: "She has a good personality too."
She's heartbroken, because he puts a photo of some other girl "close to his heart".
Him: "She says that she'll support me fully in my pursue for literature after we got married."
She's very jealous, because she said the same thing in the past.
Him: "She loves me truly."
She wishes to sit up & scream at him: "Don't I?"
Him: "So, I think she won't force me to do something that I don't want to do."
She's thinking, but the rage won't subside.
Him: "Want to take a look at the photo I took for her?"
Her: ".....!"
He brings the photo before her eyes.
She's in a total rage, hits his hand away & leaves a burning mark slap on his face.
He sighs.
She cries.
He puts the photo back to his pocket.
She pulls her hand back under the blanket.
He turns off the light, & sleeps.
She turns on the light, & sits up.
He's asleep.
She lost sleep.
She regrets treating him the way she treated him.
She cried again, & thought about a lot of things.
She wants to wake him up.
She wants to have an intimate talk with him.
She doesn't want to push him anymore.
She stares at his chest.
She wants to see how the girl looks.
She slips the photo out.
She wanted to cry, & she wanted to laugh.
It's a nicely taken photo of herself.
A photo he took for her.
She bends down, & kissed him on his cheek.
He smiled.
He was just pretending to be asleep.
