Being there for her

“Care to tell me , when is your birthday”? he asked while skimming the jeans’ which had been showcased in the women’s section.

“Day after tomorrow”, she replied and then after a pause” But why are you asking ? You wouldn’t be able to attend it right”?

“Ah this one “, he exclaimed finding the right one for her “What happened”? she asked , concerned for him.

“Uh well I am buying vegetables”, he said to cover ” Now, to answer your previous question, yes I will attend”.

” But I will be able to “, she cut him off ” do it alone “, he completed for her.

” I know you can do it, but behind that facade of a strong woman , there’s a little girl ” , he could hear her sigh ” who , my dear, wants someone to hold her hand while she cuts her cake, to sing a birthday song for her”, he said while passing the jeans along with other goods to the woman standing in the counter section ” And I want to be that someone”, he could imagine her smile. 😊

The Menu

“What’s on the menu today “? he asked her while grabbing an apple from the fruit basket.

“Well I am not sure,” she replied walking towards the fridge ,” let’s check out the ingredients first”.

He couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, ” darling are you ever sure of anything”? he asked casually, helping her with chopping onions.

“Yes”, she turned to look at him “I am and will always be sure of being with you “.
