....hello dear, he was sorry  because he will be late,  the dinner  next time,  ever since he had  phoned her she was fuming,  at least  on this special day  one must  fulfill their promises,  she  grumbled  plaiting her blonde  hair in braids, , then flung her brush  across her  dressing table,  she looked quite depressed,  , it was their wedding anniversary,  , they had planned a dinner out, but bazil phoned late evening and canceled their program,  excusing himself for having an urgent work in the office,  she got out of the room  chewing at her rosy lips,  

She was used to  living in a house full of people  , she was now scared of seeing  empty rooms and  vacant corners,  bazil  used to come back home on time,  he would bring back home for his wife  hot cakes and snacks,  unanimously also kept  two cups if tea hot steaming  waiting,  both would  enjoy their  tea and snacks in the privacy of their room  out of view of family
