                        It's 6 o' clock in the evening. I was walking home from the bus stop after training. When I walked past a HDB flast close to mine, I heard shouts from malay man, "Why you talk about cash?!Why you talk about cash?!Why must you talk about cash all the time???!!!" As curiosity got the better of me, I went closer to the source of the shouting. I saw the man shouting at a girl who's age seems to be close to his. The girl was on the floor, clutching her legs tightly and burying her face between them. Suddenly, the man turned around and his eyes matched mine, I quickly pretended that I just arrived and was walking past. Then, another young malay guy arrived under the flat in his motorcycle and begun talking to the couple. From here I observed that he should be the couple's friend or relative. After some advice from the friend, the boyfriend stopped shouting and offer his girlfriend a helping hand to help her up. She took it and the three left.
As I continued to walk home, I reflected on the word "cash" which the malay man was emphasizing earlier. I finially came to a conclusion that his girlfriend might have asked for cash quite a few times before and now when she asked again, he lost his temper as he may be facing some financial problems and yet his girlfriend is still asking for cash.
To sum it up, I think that all arguments, especially between couples, can come to a solution. But both parties must be calm and patient with one another, nothing is impossible. As long as you are willing to take back a step and the other party also backs, the problem will just be solved.
