The thumping hadn’t ceased. Not when it had climaxed to a gruesome migraine. She had hoped he’d be home before now. It was growing dark.  He hadn’t left any word to prove that he’ll be staying out this late. Her heart throbbed alongside. She couldn’t bear to imagine what will happen if he turned his back on the hurting marriage. She clenched to her heart as thoughts of the morning’s occurrence flooded her mind.

                What had she said wrong? Wasn’t it normal or right that she asked the questions? But which one of them stirred his anger? Her back fully rested on the chair where she lay, she glared at the wall clock as it ticked away. Night had crept in. No light shone outside. The moon was shielded by dark clouds. Was it going to rain? It better not! Her husband was still out there. Somewhere.
