"That's not it," he sniffled. "I'm very sorry for
cheating you these past 50 years. I'm not the man you loved.
I'm his brother. We are twins."
Everyone was shocked to hear this. The man continued, "We
lost our parents when we were six years old. We depended on
each other and made a living by selling newspapers during
those impoverished days. We finished primary and middle school
study and entered the same university.
"We worked in different cities after graduation and
that's when my brother met you.
"Soon after my brother didn't feel good. He was diagnosed
with cancer and told he had less than a month to live. He was
dying, but he loved you so much that he didn't want to hurt
you. So, he asked me to take care of you forever..."
There was a profound silence. After a while, the wife
calmed down. She stopped sobbing, came up to the man, and said
gently, "I bet we've had the most wonderful affair in the
world." |
