Colour Of Love

S-P-L-A-S-H

"What is this? I told you that I don't like colours, they are not good for our skin!"

I made an angry face at my husband. We were a newly married couple and I did not want to play with colours as they contain a lot of chemicals in them.

My husband, smiled at me and said, "Don't worry, dear these are all natural colours, made with the natural marigold flowers, Kesar and beetroot."

I was still not convinced, and said, "How can you be so sure? After all nobody can confirm if they are simply artificial colours packed inside the little bags labelled as, "Herbal."

My husband, put his hands smeared with an orange shade of colour on my face and said, "Rang barse, Happy Holi my dear wife, do not worry and just enjoy, after all these colours are made by your darling husband."

I felt very happy and was touched deeply by his gesture of true love and care for his wife, that is me.

I shouted, "Holi Hai!" and ran after my husband to smear him with the red colour of Kesar, the colour of love.
