Everyday before her husband left to the police station, she would make him promise her that he would return home alive; and regardless any kind of danger he faced, he would always return to his home, not always sound, but safe.
One morning, after a previous night of screams and fights that are so common in marital life, she didn't say good bye to her husband before he left to the police station, therefore she didn't make him promise her his safe return.
That day, around noon, the phone rang, and when she heard it, her soul fell to her feet, the phone had never rang so early in the day; and soon all her rage and resentment she had against her husband for the previous night disappeared and gave way to a feeling of guiltiness and desperation.
"Why I didn't make him promise me he would return home alive this morning as I always do?" She asked herself as the phone continued ringing "Why?.."
