One fine day, an old couple around theage of 70, walks into a lawyer'soffice.Apparently, they are there to file adivorce.Lawyer was very puzzled, after having achat with them, he got their story....This couple had been quarreling alltheir 40 over yrs of marriage nothingever seems to go right.They hang on because of their children,afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children havealready grown up, have their ownfamily, there's nothing else the oldcouple have to worry about, all theywanted is to lead their own life freefrom all these years of unhappinessfrom their marriage, so both agree on adivorce....Lawyer was having a hard time trying toget the papers done, because he feltthat after 40 yrs of marriage at theage of 70, he couldnt understand whythe old couple would still want adivorce..While they were signing the papers, thewife told the husband.."I really love u, but i really cantcarry on anymore, I'm sorry..""Its o.k, i understand.." said thehusband. Lookin at this, the lawyersuggested a dinner together, just 3 ofthem,wife thought, why not, since theyare still gonna be friends..At the dining table, there was asilence of awkardness.The first dish was roasted chicken,immediately, the old man took thedrumstick for the old lady.."take this,its your favourite.."Looking at this, the lawyer thoughtmaybe theres still a chance, but thewife was frowning when she answer.."This is always the problem, you alwaysthink so highly of yourself, neverthought about how I feel, dont you knowthat i hate drumsticks?"Little did she know that, over theyears, the husband have been trying allways to please her, little did she knowthat drumsticks was the husband'sfavourite. Little did he know that shenever thought he understand her at all,little did he know that she hatesdrummsticks even though all he wants isthe best for her.That night, both of them couldnt sleep,toss and turn, toss and turn...afterhours, the old man couldnt take itanymore, he knows that he still lovesher, and he cant carry on life withouther, he wants her back, he wants totell her, he is sorry, he wanted totell her "i love you"...He picks up the phone, starting dialingher number....ringing never stops..henever stop dialing....On the other side, she was sad, shecouldn’t understand how come after allthese years, he still doesnt understandher at all, she loves him a lot, butshe just cant take itanymore....phone's ringing, she refusesto answer knowing that its him..."whatsthe point of talking now that itsover...i have ask for it and now iwanna keep it this way, if not i willlose face.."she thought...stillringing...she have decided to pull outthe cord...Little did she remember, he have heartproblems...The next day, she received news that hehad passed away...she rushed down tohis apartment, saw his body, lying onthe couch still holding on to thephone...he had a heart attack when hewas still trying to get through herphone line....As sad as she could be...she will haveto clear his belongings...when she waslooking thru the drawers, she saw thisinsurance policy, dated from the daythey got married, with the beneficiarybeing her... And together in thosefile, there was this note..."To my dearest wife, by the time you'rereading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought this policy for you,though the amount is only $100k, I hopeit will be able to help me continue mypromise that i have made when we gotmarried, I might not be around anymore,I want this amount of money to continuetaking care of you, just like the way Iwill if I could have live longer. Iwant you to know Iwill always bearound, by your side... I love you"Tears flowed like river......"When you love someone, let themknow... You never know what will happenthe next minute.... Learn to build alife together.. Learn to love eachother. For who they are.. not what they are..."
