Nicholas lowered his head dejectedly. "Where are you? I am so sorry that I forgot about you. I am sorry that I left you. I am sorry... I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me...."
More tears fell from his eyes, and he gripped his left chest tightly. Nicholas cursed himself for not remembering anything about his wife. He felt so guilty, he had hurt the woman.
Tears continued to fall down the wooden floor below as Nicholas continued to contemplate what his wife must have felt after he left her alone in this forsaken place.
"Sorry," he whispered in a trembling voice. "Sorry… I didn't mean to."
He kept apologizing in between his tears, but after a few seconds, he was stunned when he just realized that he forgot to ask the village head what his wife's name was.
