The Marital Conditions - Part 12

Mikha waited for few minutes. She understood that it would take minutes for the iceberg called as ego to melt. She waited until they settled in and relaxed. She waited for the moment when one of them would began to share their day with the other. They stared at each other and then got busy with their cellphones.

After an hour, she only initiated the talk between them. "Come on guys, we don't have whole day. It's strange. You know each other for about six to seven years. You love each other. Then why this cold behaviour? Tia, Let's start with you. How did your day go?",she asked. As usual Tia ( known for her complaining attitude) grumbled about her boss, work and colleagues. Suhail was annoyed. He had advised her many times that if she was not very happy with work then she could change job. He had also advised that he would help her in finding and cracking the right job. But she never listened.

He could take no longer. He blurted out, " Why don't you change your job if you don't like the work? I have advised you many times. But you don't seem to follow my words." Tia snapped, "I don't want to change. I am very close to my promotion. Why should I change now?" Mikha interrupted, "Okay ! If you don't want to change and are positive that you will get the promotion, then don't get upset with these trivial issues. Get used to it. Tia, you need to stop reacting like that. You can say that in calm and composed way. Suhail will surely understand." Tia nodded and sighed in wonderment, "Why do I always get  rebuked?"

It seemed like as if Mikha got read Tia's mind. She said, "It is because you complain a lot. Stop complaining. I know life is hard but it is we who make it hard." Next Suhail started sharing about his activities at work. Tia was amazed at how hard he worked. She had never found time to ask him about his work because of fights. She hugged him once he was done.

Mikha was happy at this development. She wanted them to know the hardship of each other and help to reduce them together. Later they got back to work and day passed the way Mikha had scheduled it. The fights were reducing. They were learning to have fun together while doing house chores or watching the movie,

It was already Friday. The week had passed so quickly. Mikha had one last task to complete. She wanted them to spend quality time together. Both of them were getting ready when Mikha asked them to stop what they were doing. They were started. They wondered, " Did we miss something? Did we go somewhere wrong?"
