Three Rings...
This is to the guys, the boyfriends, and the husbands who have gone through the “QUESTIONING” bouts. Usually it’ll start innocently enough. And when it’s innocent that’s when you will be caught, off guard. That is how they would want it anyway.
“Where were you last night?” this is despite the understanding that you will be allowed a certain number of nights in a month that you are allowed to be with the guys. Nothing much, just a session at the local mamak joint or the sate shack or even at the bowling alley and to some who is willing to push further, the driving range.
And there you are trying to justify your outing thinking that you had it all under control.
Really? Yes! Trying hard to convince the “INTERROGATOR” of your outing with the guys. Sometimes it happens when you are out in the field, you know, your mamak joint, your local sate shack and you get “THE PHONE CALL”
Heavens!! Not now, not in front of your mates!! “ Where are you?” you could almost feel the cold chilly voice coming in through your cellular phone. And you trying hard to look ‘Cool’ in front of your mates, who by now are probably either sympathizing with you or sniggering away.
Then there is the other question, usually asked in a rather coy manner, “Do you know what day is it next week?” and don’t you answer, “ The same day as today?”
Because you know damn well, that is not the answer. You could be answering that way because you are trying hard to buy time whilst going through your mind as to what the answer maybe. The in-laws coming? Your eldest kid’s birthday? The last day for the car installment? No, those questions will not be asked in THAT tone. Usually it’ll be a reminder of sorts for your anniversary. And you go like, “yes dear, it’s our wedding anniversary?” and a wailing “Nooo…!!” greets you. Oh no…you think you got it all under control eh…”it’s the day we met for the 1st time…”
Wow, I’ve got to remember all those events in our life? I was never good at remembering, that’s the reason why I did not opt for History lessons. And having admitted my weakness for numbers, especially dates, she decided to help by getting me a wedding ring which has inscriptions of the date that we got married.
If you see a guy fidgeting with his ring it’s probably me trying to have a look at the date underneath…with a lady by the side in questioning mode…
Oh? And did you hear about the Three Rings of Marriage?
“Lord of the Ring” does not count…
1. The engagement ring
2. The wedding ring
3. The suffer-ring
I’m outta here…
