Magic Spell

On the 6th of this month I will be someone I always wanted to be. Looking at the mirror in my room, touching my body a goodbye touches. What a relief and self satisfactory I will feel after that day. Years passed and I feel that I am someone else. It is not me who is walking around the house. I feel that in my husband's eyes and face expressions. After all these years and the bunch of kgs I gained, everything has changed.

I remember every time I stand in front of my closet, how he tries to escape from the coming argument of the clothes not fitting me. He always tries to convince me that I look great and sexy, but no can do. It always ends with tears and sobbing, and most of the time it also leads to a big fight between us.

It usually starts with: " Huni, what shall I wear for tonight?"
He always replies: "Sweet heart, whatever you choose will be great."

I hate it, because I know it is not true. Why should he sweet talk to me?! I have eyes too!!

But who cares now, after three days everything will change. I will be someone else. Then, I can buy whatever style I want to wear. And I will never ask that question ever!!!

I am having lunch today with my hubby. He called and confirmed, and I am running out of time. I should get ready in 15 minutes, before he arrives.

What am I going to wear today?
Mmmm, I like this dress, its colors fits me. I will take my shower now.

Ten minutes later….

I am ready, with this lovely dress, and soft makeup I wore.
I never saw myself so perfect. Yet, I didn’t have the surgery!!!!!!!!!!

I heard the car arriving, I ran to the front door, opened it and stood on the doorsteps with an opened mouth.
He is standing there with a flower bouquet. He walks towards me, gives me the flowers and kiss me on the cheek.

"You look so sexy, baby" he whispered, "What have you done today?!"
"Nothing!!" still surprised with his honesty. I never felt this honesty in his voice.

He led me to the car. Before he starts the car, he sat there beside me, looking at me as if I was a stranger. As if he just noticed my beauty!!

All the way to the restaurant he was telling me how beautiful I am. He admires the dress and everything. All this preparations took only ten minutes!! Is it a dream or imagination? No, it is very true.

We are in the restaurant, ordering our food. But still his eyes are attached to me. Whatever I do and say draw a wide happy smile on his face.

I was really getting nervous now with his reaction. I decided to ask him to stop exaggeration.

"Huni, please, can you stop acting that I am the most beautiful lady you ever saw! Come on, what is going on with you? It is me, I am your wife, the same one for 10 years" I ended this statement with a low laughter.

He laughed back to me, as if I am telling him a joke. Then he looked me in the eyes, all his face expression changed, it became so warm and honest.

He started with approaching my hand, he held it, and said: "I am sure that it is you, my partner during these ten years. You are the same caring and loving wife. It's you, the same lady who stolen my heart long time ago. The same heart, soul, eyes, and hands who took good care of me. It is the same face I look to when I feel too down, to see how life is still worth to smile, love and care. But today, you are different. Not from the outside, you look different from inside. I am sure you have said something to yourself before I arrive; you made this magical spell on your soul to make you look so so beautiful than ever. " he paused, and his smile still there on his face.

"Let me tell you something," he continued, "maybe the first time I saw you in my life, I was attracted to you by the way you looked, and how sexy your body and everything was. But if you are relying on this kind of love, you will be a looser my baby. Because none of us in this world can make it, no one can stay the same for five or ten years. This is what is called nature change. And believe me; with every change in you, I love you more. Every change in your body reminds me of something. This is what is called as "growing together" Do I look the same as you knew me ten years ago?! "
"No"
"Do you want me to look like how I did before ten years ago?"
"No"
"Then why you are expecting me to? I love you as you are. Whatever changed from outside will never affect you from the inside. I am sure of it, I know you well. You are the most beautiful lady from the out and inside. And I hope you will believe me this time. Because it killed me when ever I looked in your eyes and feel that you think me lying to you."
"How did you know that?" I said with a shy smile and red cheeks.
"You are my wife, baby, I know how it works there" pointing to my head.

"But I still want to know. What have you done today, to look so glowing?"
"Well, I was talking to myself, while I was looking at the mirror and see how I will look after the surgery. I even was surprised how I have chosen this dress. I didn’t wear it for years!! But I like it." I replied with happiness drawn on my face.

"Oh baby, you really look so sexy in that dress, actually you made the dress look prettier. Anyway, with or without surgery, you will always be the same to me. The same heart, soul and spirit. So, whatever makes you feel good, go for it. But stay the same from inside!" beggingly he said.

He is flirting me now. What a magic spell is surrounding us!!!

We finished our meal, and as we are heading to the car, he excused me for few minutes. I watched him go inside a shop. After few minutes, he came out with a box in his hand. It is a gift box, wrapped with red fancy paper and a card attached to it.

We both enter the car. He turned to me, kissed me on the cheek and gave me the box.
I opened the card. The words in it made my tears jump out of my eyes.

It says:
To my special WIFE "Grow with me! The best is yet to be…"

We went back home. As he was taking his shower, I sat on the bed and started to open the box. It was the dress I always wished I would have, but I always told myself I will look funny if I wear it.

I took the chance while he was still busy in the bathroom, took off my clothes and tried the new dress. I hesitated to look at the mirror. I peeked slowly, and then I took further steps. I stood in front of the mirror with a surprise. It is lovely. Why have I punished myself all this period?! I am not that bad.

I jumped from my place to the living room, dial the clinic number and canceled the surgery.

"Huni, where are you?" he calls from the room.

"Coming" I replied

"We are invited to dinner today, what are you going to wear?" he shouted.

I entered the room, holding the dress from its sides, and replied " This huni, what do you think?!"

"You look so great sweet heart, and I mean it."

I think the magic spell is still having its affect on us. I hope it will stay around very long.

But what I am sure of is that the magic spell came from inside my soul out of my eyes, letting me see me so beautiful.
