Last Tango For Old Time Sake?

Going through a divorce is a lousy experience for most people. First of all, there will be many busy-bodies; those who want to have the juicy details of what actually happened between the couple. Everyone in the family would want to be a private investigator.

Then there is that hassle with the formalities—this documents, that documents to sign. A lot of the times lawyers are also involved, especially if there are issues relating to children's custody or visitation rights, and properties etc. Not to mention the heartaches and sudden feeling of loneliness, sadness etc.

That's why a lot of the times, people will try very hard for reconciliation before deciding on a divorce. Couples have many, many sessions of discussions upon discussions to iron out their problems in search of possibilities of reconciliation. Some couples will choose to live separately for a while—to think things over for a bit.

And then imagine meeting up for one more final discussion in the hope of a compromise. Somehow during that discussion, there is a bit of spark from old times...

The guy looks at his wife, remembering those happy moments they've shared. They've been separated for three months now. Suddenly his wife looks "beautiful" again to him...

The woman looks at her husband, remembering all those lousy moments she's had. Three months she's been living without this jerk around; it's one of those best moments in her life.

But now the husband has that "look" in his eyes. The wife knows what's happening; she knows what her husband wants. And he's making his move now. She refuses to cooperate. He somehow manages to get the headscarf and underwear off. She fights him off. And then suddenly he pulls out a sharp object and slashed her neck. [The Star]

Makes you wonder why he brought along the weapon in the first place, huh? Was it for scaring the wife? Or was it for killing her after the last tango?
