The husband was home already. When he perfunctorily checked his phone, his wife had called him thrice.

He disregarded calling her back out of MALICE, because they had a small quarrel earlier on in the day.

The wife drove in some forty minutes later. The husband saw Usman (the gate man) opening the gate for her as his phone kept on ringing. He checked it. It was his wife again. She was in her car at the garage already.

What is she calling me for? Foolish and stubborn wife! He said and ignored her calls. The call went on for a while. He ignored it as he sat with the television set.
Thirty minutes later, she did not come in. Something told him to go and check.

He called Usman asking if Madam was still in the car? Few minutes later, Usman rushed in and said "Madam is sleeping inside the car".

At that point, it dawned on him that something could be wrong, so he rushed downstairs.

Asthma! She was Asthmatic! Could she be having her usual attack? Could she have forgotten her inhaler? He quickly took the inhaler and rushed downstairs.

When he got there, she was almost breathless. Usman and the husband quickly carried her to the back seat of the car and off, he sped like a bat out of hell, to a clinic nearby. His wife was confirmed dead!

If he had picked her calls early enough, probably she could have been saved.

Lesson learnt /advise
When you leave domestic disagreement to fester for too long, it leads to greater evil.
The Husband is weeping mad, blaming himself..."i killed my wife"! Only God knows how many wives, husbands, or children or even friends have died such a needless death.
Couples must learn to cultivate (nurture) one another.

No matter how angry you are with yourselves, in your office, in her shop, please call one another at least three times during the day. Call even when you have no reason to call.

If all you could say is "Where are you?" , "how are you?", "Wetin dey?" "Anything for your boyfriend?".

This act will help build up better/ closer relationship between spouses.
