(Part-2)
At office during lunch break the husband thought " I should not have scolded her(his wife) or insulted her family like that. Whenever i was in despair she had always supported me. And she also gave her suggestions to me to solve my problems. Yes, she becomes angry quickly but she also suffers very much for me. She has a pure heart and she is very honest about her thoughts. I also wanted to defend her honor but because i am younger brother i couldn't say anything to my older brother's wife. She is not guilty for what had happened. I should ask her for forgiveness." At home during doing her work the wife thought " He(her husband) sometimes tells things he should not say. But he is very kind hearted and doesn't do things like this. It must be because of the last time when he gave my brother 2000$ and he wasted it in doing parties and gambling. That time we have to think 100th times before buying anything. Now he has changed but it should be hard for my husband to accept it. I should not have became angry with him about this. I would properly apologize to him when he comes back." When the husband came back home he saw that his wife had made all his favorite dishes. The wife came near her husband and said " I am sorry." Tears started to fall down from her eyes. The husband quickly hugged her and said " I am also sorry. " Then he wiped her tears by his fingers. Then he took out a gift wrapped box from his bag and said while giving it to his wife " Take a guess what is in it." The wife after thinking for some time asked " Sweets?" The husband replied "No." After some time the wife asked "A cooking recipes book?" The husband replied "No." After thinking for sometime the wife asked "A dress?" The husband replied with a big smile " Yes." After that they both enjoyed the dinner together. (A story heard somewhere)
PS. If you enjoyed this story then you would surely enjoy the story "The gift of the magi" by O' Henry. It was one of the stories in my textbook of english last year.
