The Seventh Year

"I come from the Fire Princess, and she wants to marry the Water King's son, and they're afraid of touching each other, lest he should dry up, or she be put out. So, please, they want to know what to do"

"Oh, the stupidity of people! And all this time, they are afraid of doing the very thing they ought to do. Of course it's impossible for them to marry till he is dried up and she is put out. What puts out fire but water? What dries up water but fire?"

Through The Fire

Mary Morgan

For 7 years they have been married. All in all, they have been together for more than 10 years. They have spent one third of their lives with each other. Oh, my!

So, the Fire Princess and the Water Prince, the two opposites attract, they have been together since the day they first met.

Although sometimes, the fire refuses to be put out and the water does not want to be dried up! But, they are trying their best to find that equilibrium.

He's still not extravagant with words of endearment, just like she's still nagging him non stop about being more romantic in words and action.

He thinks that she's as childish as their 5-year old boy. And she thinks that he acts like he is the younger one in the relationship (think kimi wa petto).

But they still enjoy each other's company, talking to each other about everything and nothing, whenever they can find the time.

Or sneak in a bit of romance here and there, something that reminds them about their love existence.

And with two little ones between them, their love strengthen as time goes by.

(And what is love but to compromise?)

Or so they think, until their 8th anniversary!
