My wife & me had a big argument and we were on *"no talk"* terms for the last three days...

Finally wife said .....

"Now ... I count till 10 .. if you don't talk to me ... I'll go to my parent's home...!"

She started counting ...

*Wife* - 1..2..3 ...

*I* - .. (silent) ... !!!

*Wife* - 4...5 ...

*I* - .... (quiet).

*Wife* - 6...7...

*I* - (very happy .. but calm ..)

Climax building up...

*Wife* - 9....

*I* - (cheerful in mind ...)

*Wife* ........

(Quiet)

...

(Quiet)

.......

........

Then with controlled excitement I spurted out ....

"Count...count .. why don't you count further.... ??"

..

*Wife*- Thank God ... !!!

You spoke .... otherwise I would have left ... !!
