It was 8:48 pm on July 30th, a hot and humid night in the borough of Queens. I was sitting outside my house on the steps, looking at the time on my cell phone. I wasn't out for no reason, I was waiting for my father's arrival from work. I was actually sitting there waiting to help him once he got home.

Then I heard a woman crying and saying "Kevin, I'm your woman, why didn't you say something?" She was talking very loud. I looked to my right and I saw a man and a woman across the street walking on the side walk, and I noticed that's the woman whose cry is so loud and she seemed very nervous.

Kevin didn't care much. He was just walking and he was very quiet. It all took probably 30 - 45 seconds from the first second I heard her talking and crying out loud until the second they disappeared in the dark.

At the last second before I completely couldn't hear them anymore, she ran in front of him grabbing his hands, and seriously screaming in the street, "I'm talkin' to you Kevin, I'm talkin' to you. Why don't you say somethin'?" He then just looked away and started walking as she followed him. He continued to walk and she followed him. He still didn't say a word, and she continued to argue.

I don't know what had happened. I have no idea what had Kevin done or in fact not done. I don't even know whether she was right or Kevin. I don't want to judge at all. I think the point is that when a woman is angry let her talk, don't interrupt and just listen. She'll calm down soon. Also women in general will be attracted to those men who pay the least attention to them. Had Kevin said a word, the story would've possibly been different.

Should she have realized that Kevin is not the right man for her? At least if her expectations are different from who Kevin in reality is, then he is certainly not the right man for her. But if there is love involved which I think she does love him, it will most likely take a long time for her to completely understand the reality that Kevin will never be the man she wished to have.
