My Sweet Wife

My wife is a rare combination of dedication, hard work and emotion toward family members. She is perfect in everything. Her level of dedication is such that if she has to accomplish a task, she is determined to wake up early in the morning and finish all crucial tasks quickly. Husbands often help their wives to lower down her burden but I am a kind of husband, who knows nothing about household work. Before marriage also my mom took care of me, and after marriage, my wife has took over. So as a lazy person, as usual, I used to put my burden, earlier on my mom and now on my wife.

Once she prepared a food item that I don't like but everyone in my family loved it. Well, It's a bad habit but I don't like most of the vegetables. When I saw on dining table the vegetable that I hate, I was upset. My wife looked at me and said, "Don't show such expressions. It requires hard work for ladies to prepare food. Put some smile on your joker like face. I have prepared one more vegetable of your choice." Both of us started laughing. Well I knew it. She knows my taste. 

I was working in Delhi NCR and once I had to undergo an operation. It was a minor operation, but the doctor told me to take 15 days rest ,and do nothing if I want to recover fully. Well, due to operation I was not in a condition to even move from bed. It was so painful. Those days, all the household burden was on my wife. From cleaning the home to purchasing fruits and vegetables from market, she did everything alone. She perfectly remembered what medicines I required and at what time. Sometimes she made me eat food by her own hand saying that, "Dear, doctor has told you to take complete rest. Why do you worry when I am here?" I thought how lucky I am to have such a lovely wife.

Once It was my birthday. I said to her, "Dear let's go to some hotel and celebrate." She said, "Why you always talk about wasting money?" I said, "It is not waste of money dear. Today is my birthday. Come on, let's go out and enjoy." She said, "We are going nowhere. If you want some fresh air go to nearby market and bring these items." She gave me a list of some items. I smiled and brought all those Items from market. Then I got busy with my official work in another room. It took me 5 hours to finish my official work. Of course you cannot leave official responsibilities during birthdays and festivals.

After 5 hours I came out of that room. As I entered the next room, I got a beautiful surprise. My wife had decorated the room with balloons. A beautiful small table was in the center of room with a strawberry cake in the middle with a knife. Over the cake it was written, "Happy Birthday Dear Husband." I went emotional and started looking at my wife for few minutes. She said, "What happened? Why such looks? Are you seeing me for the first time? Oh, now I understood what you want." She went to the next room and brought a gift wrapped in silver colour paper. I opened it up. It was a beautiful red formal shirt with a matching black trouser and a tie. It was the best gift she gave me. I thanked her and hugged her tight. She said, "Happy Birthday Dear. I love you." 

We both had dinner and later I asked her, "When did you do all these things. You are so perfect." She said, "Thank you but it's nothing special that I did. God has made we ladies multitasking, be it me, our mom or your sister. We are born talented." Both of us started laughing. Truly, along with me, she has full respect for all my family members. My wife is a real inspiration.
