"Pril dear is the same pocket money, can be for other purposes".

"Then so". April's tears were unstoppable.he did not think that Aldi her husband would be this accurate in the household.

"Frank!".

"Yes mas".

"Why can the water bill go up?, are you wasteful using the water?".

The cost of the water bill rose about a thousand and Aldi audah noisily with the increase.he scolded April for being considered wasteful of water.

April felt that she could not stand Aldi's attitude that was too excessive. all this time April relented and always tried to be as economical as possible.
