Ever heard of the saying ‘Life is Perfect’? That is exactly how my life was a few days ago. My wife and I were doing pretty well and we had finally tied the knot. Things were going quite well, until the day something happened that turned my life upside down.
I still remember it all started at supper when we were sitting together at the dinner table and my wife started humming out of nowhere. I found it weird at first, given that she wasn’t really the singing kind. I attributed it to one of her moods and went to bed. The next day, I heard the same humming sound while I was lying next to her. I am all for music and melodies, but a weird, borderline funny humming is not what you want to wake up to. Since I didn’t want to get into an argument so early in the day, I ignored it.
But the humming continued through the week. I know there’s nothing wrong with some harmless humming. But I’ll be honest, maybe it’s the way she hums that’s problematic. The tune is never consistent, every note is either too high or too low, and it really annoys me. Initially, I found this habit cute, but she keeps humming all around the house.
Holding my anger back, I politely asked her to stop one day. She burst out laughing and said, “Are you done with your silly joke?” I yelled at her, “Do you think I am crazy?” Before I could even say my next point, my wife without uttering a single word, rushed out of the room. There I stood all alone, absolutely aggrieved.
For the next two days, there was absolute silence, but then she started humming even louder. One day I snapped and said “What is your obsession with this humming?” To which she replied that she wasn’t humming. Things soon escalated into a full-blown argument and, before I knew it, she was out of the door.
It’s been over a week since she left me and, here I am, going through a troublesome situation. It’s not that I miss my wife way too much. But even after I have confined myself into my room, taped the doors and windows, stuffed my ears, and wore headphones, she’s somehow still humming.
I trust God
Venuka Rison Joseph, AGS Gurugram, XII
Trust me, I know the inner workings of life
I know where to start and how to survive
There’s something in me that I will revive
Oh, how exhausting it feels to be alive
Trust me, I have lived with colours of all
The colours of summer, winter, and fall
Sometimes this life can feel like a brawl
But oh, does it scandalise and appal
Trust me, life will get better than this
A time full of joy, thrill, and pure bliss
In those times, I ask you to reminisce
Oh, that’s indeed the pain that I miss
Heavens will surely grant your wishes
Your dreams shall be future’s glimpses
Angels will see your endless scrimmage
Certainly, your life will see no pillage.
