Yours Truly, Emma.. the unpredictable girl in her unpredictable little world..

"One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer's 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..."
