A couple have been married for over 9 years
without children and it was becoming their
10th year.
Dave and Clara stayed with each other and
hoped that they will have a child before their
10th year of marriage runs out, because
they were under persuasion from friends and
family members to get a divorce; but they
couldn't let go, because of the love between
them.
Months passed and one day, while Dave was
returning from work, he saw his wife walking
down the road with a man. The man had his
arms around her neck and they looked very
happy.
For over a week, he saw thesame man with
his wife at various places and one evening,
while Dave was returning from work he saw
the man drop her off at the house after giving
her a kiss on the cheek.
Dave was angry and sad.
Two days later, after a hectic day at work,
Dave was taking water with a glass jug from
the dispenser when the phone rang.
He picked it up and the person said,"Hello
dear, I'll be coming to your house this
evening to see you as promised. I hope.....".
Dave hung-up the phone. It was a male voice
and he was sure the person was the man he
had always seen her with.
He suddenly became shaky with the thought
that he has lost his wife to another man. The
glass jug fell from his hand and shattered into
pieces.
Clara came running into the room asking,
"Is everything okay?".
In anger he gave his wife a push and she fell.
She wasn't moving or getting up.
Dave then realized that she fell where he
broke the glassjug.
A large piece of glass had pierced
her. He felt her breath, pulseand heartbeat but
there she lay lifeless.
His wife was dead.In total confusion, he saw
an envelope in her hand. He took it,
opened it and was shocked by its content -it
was a letter.
It read:
"My loving husband, words cannot express
how I feel so, I had to write it down. I have
been going to see a doctor for over a week
and I wanted to be sure before I give you the
news. The doctor confirmed it that I am
pregnant with a twin and our baby is due
7months from now.
The same doctor is my long lost brother
whom I lost contact with after our marriage.
He has promised totake care of me and our
babyand give us the best without collecting a
dime.
He also promised to have dinner with us
today.I am putting this on your favorite chair
in the sitting room for you to remember the
day youproposed to me and I had to
write to you saying,"Yes" because I was so
happy.Thanks for staying by my side".
-Your loving wife
The letter fell from his hand. There was a
knock at the door and the same man he had
seen with his wife came in and said,
"Hello Dave, I suppose I'm right.It's Max, the
brother of your wife and......".
Suddenly, Max noticed his sister
lying in a pool of her blood.
He rushed her to the hospital and
she was confirmed dead! Her twin
baby gone
