The argument

That old man turned and left . And of course I wasn't stupid enough to follow him. That whole night I was wide awake . Next morning I didn't say anything to anyone. And even if I wanted to tell , what could I have possibly explained ? So I kept that incident to myself. Many days had passed and there was no improvement in Jennifer's condition. I started getting frustrated. In that hospital there was a balcony like place at the end of the corridor. So I went there to smoke . Actually I wasn't a big fan of smoking but I used to smoke whenever I felt frustrated . While I was lighting that cigarette , I felt like I saw someone's silhouette. It was like 6 in the eve but it was quite dark and I was unable to see clearly. I wasn't sure but I felt like one of them was Kely . So I followed them . Whoever they were , they went inside an old basement. Some noises were coming from inside . Like someone was arguing. I couldn't hear them clearly but I heard someone say ' JUST KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT' .But I broke in when I heard sobbing noises . And to my surprise, I saw Kely and Ben . And their faces were telling that they weren't expecting me or anyone else like this .

" James! what are you doing here ?" Kely asked . " I can ask you the same ". I replied. " Just answer the question James ? " Ben said . He seemed kinda furious. I sighed. " I saw your silhouettes so I followed you guys ." I said . " What did you hear?" . Ben asked . "Nothing ! but what's going on here ?" I said .

" Nothing just some business matter . If you don't mind then I will take my leave. " After saying this , Ben left . Kely was trembling and tears were rolling down her cheeks. But she quickly wiped them . " Are you okay? " I asked. " I am fine.....don't worry. " And she smiled like nothing happened. She left me in that basement with lots of questions. For a lovely couple like them , fighting is just not their thing. Am I so lost in my own problems that I am not paying attention to my surrounding or my friends? But after all its their personal matter so I didn't interfere in it . I went back to the room . I had nothing to do so I sat reading a novel for a while . But suddenly I noticed an old lady standing near the entrance of the room , kept glaring at Jennifer. It seemed like she was a little terrified. She was in her 80s I guess. She looked like someone from a good and high status family . Her skin complexion was fair and she had wrinkles on her face . " Um....may I help you ? " I asked . " Oh my ! poor child . Is she - Is she your wife ?" She asked . " Yeah ! she is " I replied. Suddenly her facial expressions became tense and she said

" She is not supposed to be here ..."
