PUNEET MEHROTRA

Our friends were hanging out in my penthouse. Chilling out is needed. After the whole tiring day, our brain stopped working so doing some fun with friends is really necessary for our life. Some come here to avoid their wives' tantrums, and some for their girlfriends. I'm the only single guy in our group. God knows if there's any mate written on my fate or not.

"Man, it was better not to get married.

My wife doesn't care about me a little. When I go home after the office at night, give me some time. No. She goes out to have fun. Sometimes in kitty parties, club or sometimes in a friend's birthday party, wedding anniversary, and also in breakup party. Do I have my food or sleep empty stomach she doesn't care about it at all. She has made my life like hell."

Satish said in a sad and frustrated tone while gulping his wine.

"You're saying this, my wife considers me just an ATM. She doesn't have any other work just always keeps asking for money. She spends all my credit card balance doing shopping." Aarav said shaking his head in annoyance.

"I had heard that the wife eats food after the husband. And in my case did I have my dinner or not she doesn't care about it at all. When I reach home late at night, she went to sleep having her food. Doesn't even wait for me. In the past, People use to give the status of God to the husband and in this era, wives do not even consider us as human."

Sharad put his painful story in front of us. And I was listening to their story with enjoyment. As I don't have any story to share with them.

"And my girlfriend loves to spend my money like water. She is a very very demanding person. Always insist to take her shopping. And she is dying hearted fan of jewelry. Whenever she goes on shopping with me never forget to buy jewelry." Rahul sighed heavily after narrating his life story.

Everyone was talking about their sorrow. But one person was sitting completely silent in a corner. Who was also listening to their sorrowful story sitting next to me? And was smiling too. Has he lost his mind?

"Mr, is your wife like that too?"

I whispered near his ear. Making his smile even bigger.

"No, My wife is not like that at all. She is different. And this quality makes her different from others. She is just like...... I can't describe her in words.

That type of person she is." Saying that he began to smile like a fool.

"Just know one thing, she has a golden heart."

Sameer said still smiling looking somewhere placing his head on his palm which was placed on the bar table. I was about to say something but.....

"Naina is very good. She takes great care of me. If you eat the food made by her, you will never forget the taste of that dish. She never eats before me. Always says, I can't eat before you. In our village, it's a tradition that we wives can only have our meal after our husbands. If she does then she will sinner. Sound so silly. Isn't it?"

"Let it be." He said and chuckled.

"She never spends unnecessarily. She hasn't asked me for anything till today. Neither bought something for her with my money. She is very innocent and cute. I know, I have never seen her face but I believe she must be a very cute face holder. It's six months of our marriage."

He stopped and I waited for him to continue.

"Now I don't even dare to raise her veil and see her face. You know, now I'm feeling very guilty about my earlier behavior. I was such a jerk How can I behave like that with a girl? My parents have never taught me to do such things. They always taught me to respect all women. But what I did without knowing her, I just bad-mouthed her. I behaved so wrongly with her. I had used such abhorrent words on her." He said and sighed heavily. A flush of disappointment come over his face.

"You haven't seen Naina sister-in-law's face yet?" I asked him shocked in a wondering tone.

"Nope, didn't you suggest me to test her? I did. And do you know in what conclusion I reached and what I found out?" He said and smiled widely. And I shook my head right to left.

"There is probably no girl like her anywhere in this world. She is very good and kind. She is very upright. And these qualities of her make me admire her especially." He said with a dreamy look.

"I thought she did not deserve me. But the real thing is, I don't deserve her. She deserves better than me. Having status, being educated, and being beautiful does not make one a perfect life partner."

"A kind heart full of goodness is a perfect match. Who understands you that's called the perfect match. Without expressing words if she understands what's in your mind then she's your real soulmate of yours."

"When you need someone beside you in your bad timing. If she comes to you and gives her shoulder to place your head on hers to share all your sorrows then understand the thing that she is the one. Who'll always be there for you at any phase of your life."

"When I go back home being drunk, she is the one who takes care of me. This shirt and suit it's selected by her."

He said beaming with happiness.

"She always selects my clothes. She takes care of my every little little need. That's much good she is. She is doing so much for me without any selfishness." Suddenly his happy face turns into a gloomy one.

"What am I giving in return? Just trouble and pain."

He said and looked down in guilt.
