Old Couple

This Couple had been quarreling all their 40 years of marriage, nothing ever seems to go right. They hang on coz 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 couple Have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce….

Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, b’coz 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 singing the paper, the wife told the husband …. “ I really love you but I really can’t carry on purpose, I’m Sorry”….. “ It’s Ok, I understand”….. said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them, 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’s still a chance, but the wife was frowing 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 drumstick?”

Little did she know that, over the years, the husband has been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumstick 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 drumstick even though all he wants is the best for her.

That night, both of them couldn’t sleep, toss and turn, toss an turn. After hours, the old man couldn’t take it anywhere, he know that he still loves her, and he know that 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 pick up the phone, started dialing her number….. Ringing never stops… he never stop dialing.. On the other side, she was said, 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 ask for it and now I wanna keep it this way. If not I will Lose face”… She thought… still ringing … She has decided to pull out the cord…. Little did she remember, she has heart problem….

The next day, she received news that he has passed away… She rushed down to his apartement, 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 thru’ her phone line….
As sad as sehe could be…. She will have to clear his belongings… when she was looking the drawers, she saw looking through the drawer, she saw the insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, beneficiary of cause its her… together in this note….

“ To my dearest wife, by the time your reading this, I’m sure I’m no longer around. I bought this policy for you. Though this amount is only $100K, I hope it will be able to help me to 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 I will If I could have live longer. I want you to know I will always be around by your side…. I Love You..”
