Roles of a wife...

Lover - first and foremost
Friend - most (seriously) important
Mother - however grown up, all men remain babies
Sister - chivalrous side of men always has an urge to protect
Daughter - ok, once in a while, even a man like to play grown-up
Manager - of every aspect concerning her family
Prostitute - while in bed with her husband

A vague encounter..

As we walked, hand in hand, along the lonely corridors of the national museum, a moment's impulse prompted me to pull her towards me and she quite (un)willingly put her hands around me.

But as we were in the process of drawing comfort from each other, my eyes caught this little child's head, popped out of nowhere, followed by heavy footsteps of maybe its entire family members.

I disengaged myself and steadied her.

I took her hands and ran towards the next nearest spot that gave us a little privacy. And once there, we laughed our lungs out.

Man, was that embarrassing?!!
