A treat for u Guys SiRa moments from one book
Sita notice the formal tone of his voice , I asked you about queens , not wives, She said softly with a smile...
I am a husband now who has a wife .Should I be king , then my wife will also become queen...The two r not the same , Sita. My wife sits in my heart; I exist for her satisfaction..The queen sits on the king's throne and she exists for the kingdom's satisfaction , He said , still formal..
Does this husband know his wife ?' asked Sita...
Why does the wife need to ask ? Does she doubt it?'
The wife has not really spoken to the husband , ' said Sita...
Indeed ' , said Ram, suddenly thoughtful, rites , rituals, n rules had bound their relationship until then , not conversation. They held each other's hand because they had to in ceremony.They sat next to each other because they had to in ritual. They fed each other as was tradition.She walked beside him as was the norm. But did he really know her ? Did she know him ? Did they see each other ? What did they see of each other ; the body or the mind ? They were still prince n princess , not husband & wife.
Ram looked at sita , curious n intent.. Then his eyes lit up in wonderment, Sita immediately looked away, sudden shy , becoming formal herself, trembling at the intensity of his gentle gaze.
