A Quarrel Between Two People

            by Vic Odarve.

We were constantly troubled by their frequent quarrels as one of their long-time neighbors. Even minor conflicts are routinely addressed with insults, mocking, and yelling. The engaged couple revealed that they had fought for 30 years. They remained together for the sake of their children. The woman eventually decided to deliberately leave her husband for good now that they were all adults with their own families. She chose to live alone because divorce was illegal in her country. "I love him, but my patience has already reached the point that I had to leave him”, the wife told the barangay captain before signing the paperwork. I am sorry. "It's just okay," the husband said, "I can understand what she wanted. “The couple decided to sign a mutual agreement to live separately.

Couple in quarrel

Ten years had passed. Their eldest son and youngest daughter decided to go on a wedding vow. Both were invited. The ceremony was performed in one of the city's luxurious hotels. Sitting at the first table together with the newlyweds, the couple, now an old man and a lady, sat near to each other during dinner time. Both were quiet. As the dinner started, the old man immediately gave a piece of lechon manok to the lady and said, "Take this, it’s your favorite." The wife said, "This is the problem; you think so highly of yourself and have never thought of how I feel. Don’t you know that I hate lechon manok? " The old man’s temper was raised, but he managed to control it. Keeping silent for a while, he just behaved as if he had not heard anything, knowing that mumbling something would end in a quarrel.

After the social affair, they returned eagerly to where they lived. That night, both could not sleep. The old man got a bottle of local wine and got drunk. He phoned his old lady and sincerely wanted to tell her he was sorry for the lechon manok and to inform her that he still loved her. He never stopped calling her. He was deeply depressed.

Teach the child the meaning of life

On the other hand, the wife was still angry and could not understand how, after all these years, he still did not understand her that she hated lechon manok. But she still loved him. At that point, she decided not to answer no matter how the phone rang, knowing it was him.

The next day, a neighbor informed her that a man had died from a heart attack. And that was the time he had tried in vain to contact her. It was then she remembered he had previously had a heart problem. The last text she received that night said, "My dearest wife, I want you to know I will always be at your side, even to the ends of the world." I love you. "

Sometimes we think marriage life is a bed of roses. But it is not! For a couple, both must learn how to love each other.
