The Gift

It’s been 9 years since I am home with no job and the luxury of money coming into my account when I did have a job back then is a forgotten bliss. However I do have some money (courtesy my dad and hubby) which I call my own, as it’s not a shared account and the interest earned has not been touched for a while. This doesn’t mean that I can compete with the Ambani’s but is sufficient to buy a couple of cool sunglasses and shoes. If there is something that I gifted Aju with my own earning, it was just before marriage and that was a leather belt which recently got undersized (credit to his over-sized tummy). It’s been on my mind that I should gift him something, for being such a good man by spending time and money on the kids which means that his life revolves round us. And all we’ve had to give back to him until today has been love, cuddles and kisses. At this point I am capable of giving only this much as long as the stars shine bright upon me someday when I think of buying a lottery and the winner is me!

Coming to the interest in the bank which lay idle without making more money, it was time to spend instead of saving up for downturn times. I had been watching Aju craving for sunglasses for a while now and I don’t know what was holding him back. It was definitely not money nor was he shy to sport the latest ones. I guess he was waiting for the right time (summer) and it was time to discard his old boring sunglass. Before he ends up craving for something costlier, it was time to gift my man and the interest money was to be put to appropriate use. He got it and he is happy and I am content :).
