Ahana POV
I stopped my car opposite a restaurant, I would have never come to this place as it is a posh high-end space but because of my client insisting on this place I had to go. This client is a family man with a very charming demeanor to him. We were at the end of discussing the strategies when his wife stepped in looking like a model. I saw my client's eyes twinkle at the sight of his wife. He stood up from the couch and walked up to her. He tenderly kissed her forehead and guided her with his hand on her back. He introduced me to her by saying "meet my gorgeous and breathtaking wife", he even kissed her on the side of her forehead when he did that
Looking at them I could not help but compare
I recently uploaded a picture on my social media and my friend called me and showered me with compliments. I have done my undergrad with her and since we met she has been sweet to compliment me sometimes it's about my eyes, sometimes it's about how tall I am, and sometimes it's about how I don't give a damn about people. Anyways, in the evening when I sat near my husband laying my head over his shoulder, I recited how my friend complimented me and I found it sweet. His words were "People give you compliments because they expect something from you, and the more they give you compliments the more they expect something from you or they might manipulate you, by complimenting you ",
That day I was hurt because his words reflected that maybe I didn't deserve the compliments or maybe he was judging my friends or maybe he was thinking that I am that naive and gullible to be manipulated by some compliments. I told him what I thought, I told him it hurt and while being realistic is fine, complimenting, is one of the gestures which can make a person's day and it can be very beneficial to our marriage. He said that he just said that casually then that night turned into a big argument which ended up in me compromising because he is a nice guy and we can't have high expectations when I was comforting my heart I could feel my eyes tearing up.
I finished my meeting and my client and his wife began their date, I smiled looking at them, and walked out from there. I drove to the office and started my meetings. then I saw my team member giving out sweets because his wife passed the civil exams and I could see that he was proud. When he left I was disturbed by a titbit of my past again
"I was a year old in this company because of my performance I was rewarded with an award or performer of the month and a hike, I naively rushed and conveyed it to him he smiled and said oh nice, but I wonder why dint I feel like he was happy or proud, was I over-thinking? Maybe I was",
The next day I was talking to my mentor and she said never discuss your successes with men because in the end if they don't respond like you expect then you would be disappointed, just underplay your success before them.
I finished my work that day and reached home when I saw my husband was in a good mood, he never sulks or shows anger so that is relieving. Today he was cooking, as we were having dinner we conversed about our day and his conversation with his parents. Later that night when he touched me I lay there and when he was done I walked to the washroom and had a hot shower hiding my tears.
Only a few words in my mind can I keep doing this??
How long can I go like this ??
