Your Better Half or ....Shadow ?

Christmas celebrations, holiday mood is in the air. In a party hosted last night, every couple was asked to come on stage and they were asked questions about life in general.

Well, the event turned out to be an absolute fun. So, it was our turn. My husband was asked, "Speak a few lines about your better half "

What he said took everyone aback. O ! O ! before you start running your imagination - read on

"Which better half do you want me to speak about ? From Monday to Friday  my better half is my company, my boss, my colleagues, my customers. Saturdays, its the grocer, the bank manager, friends,social obligations, the car mechanic at times too. AND SUNDAYS its my sleep,tryng my hands at cooking, books, and ofcourse my kids ", he said.

Oh boy ! this left the host of the party speechless for a moment. Gathering his wits, he asked me ,"Where are you in his life ? How do you feel you did not even get a mention ?"

I was still gathering myself from the impact of his reply, and expecting exactly the question that was directed to me. 'Oh GOOGLE, please help me', i said. My brain must have looked up every google page with the speed of light searching for an answer. And, the reply returned was 'NO results match your search'

Then i looked up saying 'Oh God, please help me. I know not what to answer'. God said, 'Ask your heart'. Now, i asked my little heart, how best to answer this. And my heart full of pride said,

"I am his SHADOW, always around him. Sometimes pushing him from behind, sometimes at his side walking shoulder to shoulder, sometimes ahead of him- leading him, and sometimes merge with him.You need a special pair of eyes to see this magical effect of women being  their husband's shadows . All his better halves, he has mentioned have the pleasure of spending only some time with him. I, as a shadow, spend every moment with him."

The loving look in my husband's eyes made my life and the admiration i received from everyone must have made him jealous too.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Hope you and your better half...errr i mean your shadow, have a great time.
