She started insulting everyone and everything. She went to the sitting room and dropped her home theater on me, which I still defended. She was back with the pestle the second time; it was really unintentional because I was angry and all that. I snatched it away from her and shoved her with it. When she was coming up, involuntarily I hit her involuntarily with the . pestle.. That was when she fell down and started crying and saying, “Why did I hit her?” he said.
