Me, My Wife and My Girlfriend

Ours was a love marriage. Akshara is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I was bowled over by her looks, the very first time I saw her. Actually, we never fell in love, it just happened between us. And as every love story would have it, our parents never accepted our love as both of us hailed from highly orthodox families but from different castes. ‘21st century and you still believe in caste system…’ I argued. ‘Computer age… space age… and man is breaking all the boundaries… Why not we…’ She argued. ‘21st century or 35th century… woman will always give birth to a child. A computer can’t do the same. Some traditions and customs need to be followed’ they argued. Nevertheless these arguments continued for a few months before they finally succumbed to our obstinacy. A day which will be remembered as a triumph of love breaking the age old shackles of orthodoxies. It all started off well, in fact too good to be described in words, our married life. Slowly we forgot the hard times we had been through and squabbles crept in between me and Akshara. At the tip of the iceberg, we knew they were petty quarrels, but what brew beneath the surface was more than that. Ego clashes. Neither of us was ready to confront to the other and ditch our ego. Years passed and these quarrels became bigger and bigger. If we approached the elders, we knew that they would mock at us, saying that it’s our mistake to go for a love marriage. For every petty thing, Akshara would make a fuss out of it. Ofcourse I am a man, I should also do my part. If she can do it 99% well, I should do it 99.1% well. At the peak of this situation when she was getting onto my nerves, I found a friend, in fact a very close friend in the form of Apoorva. She was 18 years old. I started to confide my problems created by my wife as well as me myself, in her. She always suggested me to be sublime. Ofcourse she’s also a girl. As days passed by, I began to get closer to her. She’s more beautiful than my wife, yeah, not
