“If a situation comes in your life to make a choice between your husband and son, who would you choose?”, I asked my wife in one fine morning.
Things have always worked fine between us, if I forget couple of squabbles. Just to put her into a troubling situation, I had made that query. I love playing riddles with my wife and enjoy seeing her perplexed.
Instead of answering my riddle, she made a counter attack, “… and who would you choose – your wife or son?”
Without giving a second thought, I answered, “Of course you … because with you, I can get a dozen of children like him”. She might not have expected such quick reply.
Taking a moment to think, she asked again, “…and between me and mom?”
This time I ran out of words as both of them have a special place in my heart. And then I realized the gravity of situation I kept her into, asking that silly question.
Furthermore, I also understood the subtle difference in the hearts of a husband and a wife.
