"Hello, Frank Hardy." A voice said over the phone." Yes." The 25-year-old Frank Hardy answered. "I'm calling from The Ninth and Woodrow Hospital. Do you happen to know anybody by the name of Nancy Drew Hardy?" Frank felt a lump forming in his throat. "She is my wife.," he answered. The voice on the other line hesitated a little before answering." Well, I am sorry , but she met with an accident half an hour ago. Her condition is very critical. I am not able to explain anything over the phone now. It would be better if you get here as soon as possible." Frank placed the mouthpiece down

and stared into the blank wall. He sat heavily down on the bed. He could feel tears forming in his eyes. It was his fault that Nancy was in that condition now. They had been

fighting before Nancy walked out the house and drove out. They had been married for only a month and she wanted to go to report some news of a murder in California for the newspaper she works for, instead of going for the honeymoon with him

Flashback

Frank was sitting in front of his computer as Nancy walked came upto him and kissed him softly on the lips."Nancy."he called as walked to the kitchen."I've booked tickets to Maine for our honeymoon." They were married for a month and had been planning this from then. Nancy came from the kitchen and looked down at her feet.'Frank, I'm sorry but I won't be able to go. I've to go to Somalia for a story for the paper." Frank stared at her, hard." That means you are canceling our honeymoon to go."

Nancy didn't answer, but continued to stare at her feet. Frank grabbed her shoulder. "Answer me." He shouted. She looked at him." Er…kind of." She stammered. Frank was practically angry by now. "You are choosing your job over our honeymoon? unbelievable Nancy."She stared at could see that he was angry,but she was also angry."Frank, what are you telling? You know how much stories I gave up for our wedding. for you? for us?"He was practically losing his temper by now."Nancy, I never expected this from are married.I'm your husband." Nancy looked at him and almost shouted."Yes, you are my husband, but I am a 25 year old woman, for god's sake.I have my own because I'm married to you, Frank Hardy, dosen't mean I'm gonna sacrifice my freedom." Frank looked at Nancy and slapped her, hard, across the face. Nancy fell down on the floor, mainly because of the shock that her husband had hit her rather than from the force of it. Frank immediately realized what he had done. He bent down to face Nancy. He could see drops of tears falling down her eyes. She also had a drop of blood coming from her nose." Honey, I am sorry. I didn't mean to do it.," said Frank, trying to hug Nancy. But she merely shrugged off his hands, got up, grabbed her car keys, and turned to look at Frank." You know, Frank,I

think you are right. I do value my job more than our honey moon." Then she turned walked out of the apartment…………

It was nearly an hour since he reached the hospital. Suddenly, a nurse called his name. "Your wife's conscious." she told an exhausted Frank." She is asking for you."

Frank practically ran to the , he saw a white-faced, bandage-covered Nancy
