Opposites attract, but after marriage, opposites attack. Most of the time, we are attracted to people who don't have the things that we have. Incompatibility is why we get married, but it's also used as a reason to divorce. Incompatibility is just a lack of communication. If we just try to love [our spouse] the way we want to be loved, we are in trouble. Unless you communicate, it's difficult to know how to love another person.

It is a chilly night, there is a nip in the air ....and we are at the Thakur House...
Krishna is all alone and in contemplation on the Terrace, Pratigya walks rubbing her hands to warm herself up * Baba give her chavani chummi and warm her * ..Krishna gets disturbed just by sensing that she is in the vicinity But he does not turn back and acknowledge her..Pratigya pauses for long seconds * She probably was waiting for band baja to herald her arrival* Then she slowly and leisurely makes her way towards him, stands near him gives a assessing look then opens the gambit "Why are you standing here ? * woh mannat poora kar raha hai..Really Silly girl...he is angry and hurt and wants to be alone...You cant understand this * Come down or u catch a cold" But Krishna is not in the mood to obey , He refuses "No !! I'm all right here If I go inside ..My Head will get heated ..You Go..I am ok here..I'll come later "..he walks off and sits on the bed , all hunched and lost ..Pratigya looks at him and she too follows him to the bed * Following the vachan's of Marriage to the T...*
Krishna gets a tad restless by her proximity and does not even look at her , Pratigya Softly " Are You still angry at me ? [Krishna gives a side long look effectively conveying his hurt,Pratigya lays her hands on his arms] What's the matter ? Tell me !! Why are you angry " Krishna still not looking at her " Why will I be angry on You? I am not angry , But Do tell me one thing ..You are always teaching everything * EVERYTHING !!! 😲* what's right ? What's wrong? What should be done? and what should not be done ? I can do what I have learnt, I am not educated like your Father or Brother , Then How do you expect me to do the white collar job..Just tell me " Pratigya " I am happy that you went out and began to work on my behest , but the method you employed to earn is wrong and if you too follow the same path as followed by Bauji and Brother ..What's the difference between you and ur bauji/Shakthi Bhaiyya * He has a heart full of love , They don't *..Krishna just crackles "What difference are you talking about ??You wanted me to earn money and I am earning it , PERIOD !!" Pratigya will not let him off the hook so easily , she endeavors to enlighten him "Krishna, It's just not about earning, It's about self- respect, It's about you turning into a Good Man " Krishna is exasperated "How to make you grasp what I am saying * That will be a monumental task, Baba...The Sax's are obstinate mules who refuse to understand and accept reality ..They are content to stay in cuckoo land * You have to change your way of thinking * The world will come to an end...But the sax's will never change* this is not a wrong path, This is the aggressive path [Pratigya gives Oh ! really look ]...Society is scared of Aggressive people else if you bend even slightly, they will knock you off [TRUE !!] You come out of your fantasy land and understand the reality " ..Pratigya " No ! Krishna..The truth is even today Truth is worshiped * Bingo Pratigya..Truth IS worshiped but is not practiced..There is a distinction see* and Lies are burnt *Krishna did not lie* And If I don't tell about the right and wrong, then who will [A soft glow on Krishna face on hearing this] and if I cant make you understand the difference between Truth and lies,Right and wrong then how can I assert firmly and confidently that I am your wife {the glow turns brighter ] what's the meaning of marriage when there is no mutual understanding" [The Glow on Krishna's face is full blown luminescence] " Krishna with a smile " I understood !! I understood ur words , My methods are wrong ain't it ? Then I will find another method which will come up to your expectation, Alright" Pratigya nods happily ..Krishna holds her chin "Then give a smile , Dear ..I understood what you were trying to convey..Now give a big smile " Pratigya gives a Cheshire cat grin ..Krishna " Now that's what I wanted" * You don't want chavani Chummi and other Ahem Ahem's *..Pratigya goes into his arms and he envelops her within him..Both smile happily..
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories?
