Chapter 520 - My proposal 2

Kunal said "It was a surprise for you and I didn't even tell my friend about this. I know he will ruin it by telling you everything beforehand and my efforts to surprise you will go down the drain.

Even Shriya didn't tell him. We spoke to each other and your friends helped me in this surprise."

Sony chuckled and commented "I am sorry but you guys are like kids whenever you are together you always fight" and he agreed to her words "We have got ego issues".

Kunal said "Even Barun did his part in this. He is the one who reserved this whole place and it was because of this he couldn't attend Gouthami's baby showers ceremony yesterday".

Sony suddenly remembered something and asked "You stayed back last night to talk to Abhi ? What are talking about ?"

Kunal sighed in annoyance but kept silent. Sony asked "Is it something ..." and Kunal cut her off saying "He was just scaring me and she looked at him with a confused expression.

Kunal said "He said he was giving me some tips for my happy life with my wife tobe in future."

She giggled and asked "Really let me hear it then". Kunal frowned but said "Even I felt curious. But now I think he is just making up things to tease me. Whatever he said is illogical and leave it."

Sony finished her food and listened to him. She asked with a pout "Please.." He said "Girls might have a few weird hobbies, he told a few of Shriya's."

She nodded her head and he continued "Men don't bother much about make up and things, but you worry about it. Whenever you guys dress up, we need to give you some complaints."

Sony agreed to his words "That's true. If you compliment us by saying a single word 'you look beautiful or cute, we will feel happy and in fact we feel like we own the world. It gives us confidence."

She then took a moment and said "Let me tell you one thing. Generally people say that women spend hours together getting ready, but we do all that just to get a compliment from our loved ones, not for others, not to show off or to flatter others."

Kunal nodded with a long "Ohh" and said as if he is noting everything in his brain. He then continued enthusiastically "He also said that 'whenever a woman cooks for her man, he shouldn't bail on her no matter what and also shouldn't complain about the taste, it would be great of he gives a compiment".

Sony nodded "Again he is true." and Kunal sighed asking "How is that even reasonable ? If the food is not good how are we supposed not to make any complaints. It's illogical. We can't lie to them saying it's good. It's more like we are false praising them."

Sony smiled "It's not like that. I agree with you, you shouldn't lie but there's another thing here. We spend so much time and energy to cook for you and if you say something good aboot it we feel it's worth our energy. Even if the food is bad, one should try to say that in a more smooth way so that she won't feel bad."

Kunal looked confused but said "He said a few more things. He said a few girls might have a weird habit of...." and she looked at him waiting for him to continue "Well, he said Shriya likes to help him scrub his back. Why is that ? I mean we can do that."

Sony choked on her ice cream and giggled. She said after calming herself "Well, it's a kind of personal thing. Not everyone likes and does it, but in few places that culture is there, 'helping husbands'.

Back in my hometown and during my childhood I often saw my grandma helping my grandpa scrub his back. During Sankranthi festival, men will sit in stools in the lawn or near bathrooms like in open and their women will apply oil on their backs, arms and legs.

Then the men will sun bathe for a while and women helps them clean up. Even during weddings it happens to groom. His aunt's and the bride's grandmother will do almost the same to the groom. It's like a ceremony and everyone will enjoy it."

Kunal chuckled "Well, I think that fella is not joking. Now I am curious about this particular thing." and she nodded. He said "Then tell me do you know how to wear a saree ? I guess Shriya doesn't know because Abhi said she always expects his help while draping a saree. He had to help her every single time except when she is with Manvi."

Sony's face turned a light red with blush. She said "Well, I Know how to wear a saree."
