Coffee or Tea ??

Awashed in hormones and fell in love after I was betrothed to Tanvi. My dreams and hopes were projected on her, and I was head over heels in love with her to swear that only death can do us apart. I learnt her likes and dislikes from our 2AM talks and wished I shouldn't have known her earlier. The unsolicited forgiveness and energy level was extremely high. 

The love injected into my bloodstream makes me high, and the words flew through our mouth and texts besotted us. 

Once this ultra-sweet fling was over, needless to say, we got hitched and entered into the deep bonding phase. 

She felt more protected than under her Paren't wings. One day, cute little eyes like hers just opened and made our entire family most happy. In the meantime, I learnt her individuality and respected her, and I craved for this peaceful life to go on for years. 

Over the years, as the responsibilities went higher, the dissatisfactions mounted. I was totally sick in my mind and soul but unable to share it with Tanvi.  As I just only learnt her, I was too egoistic to confront her with my number of serious disagreements. Giving up her was the best solution I had; however, I just started existing without intimacy(physically and emotionally) for the sake of my child and social norms. I was literally lost in my dreams and hopes and had no one to heal my wounds.

I realized we I haven't been speaking the same language, and this romance and child-rearing can happen with anyone as the relationship is afresh. In the end, the love was entirely killed, and the only power 'You or Me?' existed for two decades between us. I sacrificed my life and had been surviving in the conception of tolerating marriage life till my daughter asked this. 

"Papa, I love to do fashion shows. Well, I know you don't like this idea, but I still love you."
