Man and woman got up from their yesterday’s late night sleep.
As woman was free from work for the day, man had got few hours before his evening shift.
With that just-woke-up mood and mind, woman went down stairs, and slowly started catching things up in front of the computer - replying emails, reading news etc.
Man came down later, still blur from his post-bed time hangover.
As usual, little words uttered in the ‘early morning’.
He walked to woman and checked her out, before giving a gentle squeeze on her cheeks followed by a peck on her forehead.
Woman smiled.
Realizing the hours, man walked outside the door.
Before woman realized it, man started to wash the car.
Woman from time to time, went check him out, helped a little and sent waters.
Woman then continued in front of the computer.
Finally man said he was done and it was woman’s turn to clean the floor.
‘But it’s still dirty… you see the water mark here. And the spots are still there…’
Then woman grabbed a piece of cloth and started cleaning.
Man offered help, but woman refused.
‘Just let me help, we have not much time left.’
‘No. I’d rather do it on my own.’
Man was upset. He sat down a side and lighted up a cigarette.
And he waited until woman was finally done and ready to leave with him for work.
Still, little little words were said.
All the way driving man to work, woman and man did not say a word.
Until the moment before he got down the car.
‘Alright, bye.’
‘Bye.’
He was late by five minutes.

The gesture may be little, and yet the love and caring are shown. Stories in life and conversations in every day…. Inspirations to live and love better… compared to yesterday…

‘I’m sorry babe, I hurt you. Thank you for everything you did for me.’
