With a heavy heart, his wife opened the door and with strange silence, the latter walked back to their bedroom and locked it. It was unfortunate for the husband to sleep on the sofa in the living room as a consequence.
As early as five o'clock in the morning, the husband got up with only a few hours of sleep and decided to prepare breakfast in the hope of appeasing his wife's anger. As his gesture of peace offering, he made everything ready for their morning breakfast without difficulty. He is very determined to make peace with his wife.
He took an early bath at their common shower room outside their bedroom. Sensing that his wife is already awake, the husband intentionally sang loudly through the shower the song "I'm Sorry My Love" by Victor Wood :

Inside their bedroom, they also have a shower room. The wife intends to get even with his erring husband responded to her husband's singing, she loudly sang: "What Am I Living For" by Eddie Peregrina with her version of lyrics that goes:"What I am washing for...is not for you...what I am washing for ...is not for you....what I am washing for , is not for you...
