Where Is My Novel

‘Nandu where is my novel ‘asked my husband one bright Saturday morning, I was completely taken by surprise when I heard this, because my husband never sits with a novel..
I asked him what was the name of the novel and who its author was and what the story line was, there was no answer for any of my questions, and my husband was deeply involved in searching his novel. Deep in my heart I was feeling very happy since my husband had picked up the habit of reading.
I had to cook for lunch and hence told my husband that I would go and cook and left the place, my husband still did not tell him which novel he was searching, all I could see was a tensed and serious face of my husband.
In between my cooking I came and saw if my husband had got his novel, but I saw his hands fidgeting between the other novels and everywhere possible. MY cooking was over and hunger had mounted within and I went to ask my husband if he will also have his lunch right now, but before I could ask I saw my husband peacefully sitting on the bean bag and reading his novel with a smile on his face.
I came closer to my husband and kept my hand on his shoulder and asked ‘So did you get your novel, where was it lying….. MY husband still didn’t answer my question but just showed his pride possession, his all time favorite novel to me, and told it was on the bed and he had not noticed properly, but the moment I saw that I couldn’t stop laughing
It was a TINKLE comic………. Now was this your novel I asked?? My husband told yes and asked what is the difference between your novel and this, both has stories, and in your novel there are no pictures but in mine there are colorful photos which makes it more interesting to read..
My husband further added next time we need to buy the thin tinkle so that he can complete it in one day…..
My happiness lasted for sometime though it was a comic my husband has picked up the habit of reading; I hope to see him read a Sidney Sheldon novel in the near future...
