office. Apparently, they are there to file a divorce. The lawyer was very
puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story....
This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over years of marriage,
nothing ever seems to go right. They hang on because of their children,
afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have
already grown up, have their own family, there's nothing else the old couple
have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from all
these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce.
The lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because
he felt that after 40 years of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn't
understand why the old couple would still wants a divorce. While they
were signing the papers, the wife told the husband.."I really love you,
but I really can't carry on anymore, I'm sorry.." "Its o.k, I understand.." said the husband.
Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them,
the wife thought, why not, since they are still gonna be friends...
At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness. The first dish
was roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick for the
old lady. "Take this, its your favourite.." Looking at this, the lawyer
thought maybe there is still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she
answer. "This is always the problem, you always think so highly of
yourself, never thought about how I feel, don't you know that I hate drumsticks?"
Little did she know that, over the years, the husband had been trying all
ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband's
favourite. Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at
all, little did he know that she hates drummsticks even though all he
wants is the best for her.
That night, both of them couldn't sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn.
After hours, the old man couldn't take it anymore, he knows that he still
loves her, and he can't carry on life without her, he wants her back, he
wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her "I love you". He
picks up the phone, started dialing her number. The phone never stops
ringing. He never stops dialing.
On the other side, she was sad, she couldn't understand how come after all
these years, he still doesn't understand her at all, she loves him a lot,
but she just can't take it anymore....phone's ringing, she refuses to
answer, knowing that its him... "What's the point of talking now that its
over...I have asked for it and now I wanna keep it this way, if not I will
lose face..." she thought. With the phone still ringing, she has decided
to pull out the cord.
Little did she remember, he has heart problems...The next day, she
received news that he had passed away...She rushed down to his apartment,
saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the phone. He had a
heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line.
As sad as she could be, she will have to clear his belongings. When she
was looking through the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from
the day they got married, beneficiary of course is her. Together in that
file, there's this note... "To my dearest wife, by the time you are
reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around. I bought this policy for
you. Though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me
continue my promise that I have made when we got married. I might not be
around anymore. I want this amount of money to continue taking care of
you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer...I want u to
know I will always be around, by your side...I love you"
Tears flowed like river......
And the morale of the story is "When you love someone, let them know as
you never know what will happen the next minute. Learn to build a life
together...learn to love each other. For who they are..not what they are..."
[how silly is the husband & the wife...never tell their own feeling to each other...now is too late to say anything...all left behind is just REGRETS...how sad is that...anyway... someone did that before..just like the wife ...give the best to the one she love...but he will never know how nice is she...coz she too manja the guy already...^^" then make the guy think that she suppose to treat him like that...gosh...the guy never know how to appreaciateit !! so girl & guy out there...do speak up when it's necessary...if not there will be lotsa misunderstanding between ya partner...]
