6、 filled with tension and the room was wet through in dark. In the early evening, within the house the man had just had a quarrel with his wife, seriously insulting each other. He couldnt even remember what they were arguing about in the first place. Money, envy, maybe even the boring life had led to
7、 the quarrel. And they laid in the bed silently, knowing but not admitting the others not falling asleep.Guilt was sitting between them, waiting for them to recognize, while pride was standing behind them, preventing them from saying sorry. The man was angry with them both and was fighting with them
8、, but every time he thought he had won and he could open his mouth, sound couldnt quite make its way out. Soon the clock beside the bed clicked twelve-thirty, but his mouth somehow couldnt say out “Im sorry.” He continued to keep silent painfully when the seconds and minutes went by. No words fell f

Guilt, pride, and silence all felt tired and had stopped fighting. Now the couple sat around looking to each other for direction, not really knowing what to do. Soon he noticed that her hand had been moved towards his own. As her fingers touched his, a quiet apology came out, “Im sorry. Im sorry for blaming you. Im sorry for not being a better person for you.”
