New Year Resolution
.
On a relaxed Sunday evening, Abhijeet and Tarika are sitting on the couch, reading each other's "new year resolutions" lists.
After a couple of rather impressive points, the senior inspector's eyes widen to twice their normal size, as he reads the following point in utter shock.
"'Get a new hubby'?!," exclaims Abhijeet in disbelief as he turns to look at his wife, and continues with an offended expression, "What, have you grown tired of me already?"
Heaving an audible sigh, the forensic doctor gives her shocked husband a look before speaking, "Where's your resolution list, Abhijeet? Give it here."
The sharp shooter hands over the list, still bewildered and now, slightly confused. "Why?," he asks.
Tarika gives him one annoyed look as she scribbles down on the notepad, while repeating the words. "'Get.. New.. Rea..ding.. Gla..sses!'," she writes and returns the notepad back to her husband. "Here!," she says, giving him a smug smile.
As an evidence to the point she's written, the senior inspector has to narrow his eyes in order to read her tiny handwriting. He looks at her once he's done reading. "You get yourself a new husband and I get reading glasses! Why?," he says in a disgruntled tone.
The forensic doctor grits her teeth as she answers, "Because you've clearly misread it! Hobby! I've written 'Get a new hobby', not 'hubby'!"
Abhijeet grins sheepishly. "Ohh!," he says and his wife rolls her eyes in exasperation. "But still, I don't need reading glasses! I can read perfectly fine!," he declares, and Tarika is forced to take a deep breath to control herself from snapping at his stubbornness.
Therefore, without saying another word, she begins scribbling again in her own notepad. "'Try.. Not.. To.. Stran..gle.. Hus..band'!," she mutters before proceeding to shove the list in his face.
The senior inspector gives her a thoroughly irritated look as he gets up and walks away.
