After spending the birthday of Dallas, both Curvy and Dallas were happily spending days and nights together. Their bonding was growing little by little in a great way. Curvy was there for Dallas and his everyday ups and downs. Curvy was attempting to manage the relationship greatly; after all, she was three years and four months older than Dallas. Dallas, on the other hand, was also greatly active in their relationship, even though he was younger than Curvy; he was mature enough to understand what their relationship stands for. But each day can't be a sunny day, right? Some days were full of thunder, and some days were icy cold like snowfall.

One morning, the door of the couple was knocked on by thunder, which was carrying tons of clouds with heavy droplets. They changed the previous sunny day to an icy cold morning, where the heartbeats of Curvy were heavy due to the wave blown by Dallas. That happy morning psychologically changed to blue due to the series of conversations Curvy and Dallas had in the morning.

Curvy: "Good morning, babe, it's your 9 am, Buenas días".
Dallas: "Good morning baby."
Curvy: "How was your night, did you sleep greatly?"
Dallas: "Yup, sleep was great, but strange, I awoke for pee at 7am instead of 5am. May be due to late bed check-in. But after pee I slept instantly."
Curvy: "Uhhuh, that's my sweet boy, muuuah."
Dallas: "Muuuah baby."

Till here, the talk was great. The morning started greatly with lovey-dovey talk. Dallas was busy that morning because he had lab that day, so he had to go to the knowledge building from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. But as usual, they used to talk for at least half an hour every morning from bed. After much here-n-there talk, suddenly Dallas started to talk about Last name. He admitted to Curvy that since few days it was surfing in his head and then talk went as follows:

Dallas: "I think I don't want you to take my last name after our wedding."
Curvy: "Why suddenly?"
Dallas: "I was thinking about why the girls need to change their last name, why the girls need to change many things after the marriage, and guys doing nothing." And he added, "I don't want to be the one in society where husbands are expecting their wives to change their last name; I don't want to be tagged as anti-feminism; that's why I am not going to give you my last name."
Curvy: After a few minutes of pause, she replied, "But what about our dream, where I was your Mrs. Brooks, I was Curvy Brooks, we were Brooks family? Where those promises are gone, in which you promised me that you would happily give your last name to me, I will be included within you officially."
Dallas: "Oh, those promises... Do you remember how old I was during those dream talks?"
Curvy: "Ummm, 16+ or 17 years approx.."
Dallas: "Yeah, exactamente, those promises were made by a 16- or 17-year-old boy; he was in his home. He was unaware of the world, but now that I am an adult, I know the world better than that old version of Dallas, so I am not gonna give you my last name. It looks like anti-feminism, and I don't want to tag myself as anti-society." And he added more. "Why should I ask you to give up old identities?"
Curvy: "You are not asking me to give up, but it was our dream we had together; do you even remember me blushing for the first time when you did call me Curvy Brooks? That is why, from that day on, you used to write me as Curvy Brooks. It was one of the feelings among others that brought us one step closer than earlier in our relationship."
Dallas: "Even if you are the Brooks or not, you will be my same wife after the wedding; nothing will change that much. So why do I need to look anti-feminist in society?"
Curvy: "If everyone starts to see the world through the lens of feminism and anti-feminism from each perspective, then no relationship will exist on earth. Father, brother, guy friend, boyfriend, husband, son, etc. somehow, at some point, will offer their special soft corner towards their girl, who may be their mother, sister, friend (girl), girlfriend, wife, daughter, etc. So, what if that girl, at that time of offering, said, 'Because I am a girl, so do you think I can't drive, pay, work hard, change tires, do plumbing, etc.? That is why you are offering your help, huh?" If that girl goes all the time like that whenever she get offered of help from guy, do you think any guy will ever offer her help, or will she ever consider a soft corner? And she added more. Of course, every girl can do anything if she needs to, but getting an offer doesn't mean that guy is seeing her as weak. Of course, sometimes guys are pathetic; it all depends on how he is offering—whether his help is genuine or due to the act of seeing her weak."
Dallas: "Hmmm"
Curvy: "Same way in case of last name too; if any guy is forcing a girl to change her name, that is an injustice to her. No one has the right to do so. But if they both mutually want to do so, then it is none of the other's business. Whatever she wants, she can do that."
Dallas: "I don't think any girl ever thinks about changing; it is the society where she has taught since a young age about changing."
Curvy: "If we consider the same, then we can say that for the guys too. No guy will wish to leave his gaming passion behind; no guy will wish to spend hours to shopping; no guy will wish to wait hours for his girl to be ready; no guy will wish to get married because he already has his needs met by his girlfriend; so why to marry? But it is also the society where he gets taught that the game is not everything; with a wife, you have to spend hours shopping; girls need time to be ready; marrying matters emotionally, etc."
Dalas: "Vale-vale."
Curvy: "I am not saying it's comparable, but if the guy or the girl start to see the relationship through the lens of who sacrificed what, then none of them will be able to satisfy themselves in any relationship. Because at some point one will do 51 and the other will do 49, and again it will change to 49-51, then again may be 51-49, which will go continuously lifelong. Until they see 'why only do I have to effort', of course these all maaters if the partner is using the others or not. Every action can be observed, if the sacrifice is due to the love or for the formalities of the society. Curvy takes a pause."
Dallas: "Yea."
Curvy: "But you know me, right? I never wish to do anything against your wish, I will never demand the actions from you as of my wish. You are right, you were 16/17 years old when you did include me as Curvy Brooks. That was too young age to take any decision, don't worry I am taking myself out from your Brooks list, I won't let you look like anti-feminism in the society. Be happy, catch you later, muuuah."

Was that about the young age promises or the dream that Curvy and Dallas had together? Curvy was clueless because her eyes were filled with clouds of droplets. She tried it to hold because for her, the journey of love with hope will continue with the engine of trust; after all, she knew happiness is a journey how we reach 'In Search Of LIFE-UNDERCOVER'.
