"Can you describe the event in detail?" I asked, bringing the microphone closer to her mouth.
Within the neighborhood, a couple lived peacefully.The husband worked during the day, managing his business. Alone during the day, the wife anticipated her husband's arrival home from work. She took care of the house, prepared dinner, and occasionally lazed around. It was indeed a typical household. That was what everyone thought.
One night, the husband allegedly assaulted the wife with a fork, stabbing her repeatedly. Wounded, the wife reluctantly grabbed a kitchen knife and brandished it towards the husband. She warned him from approaching any closer. However, the husband, ignoring the pleas of his wife, limped towards her with an eerie expression— an expression similar to those who are undead. Shedding a tear, she thrusted the knife into her husband's heart. He toppled, blood gushing out from his chest. The wife fell on her knees, hugging his dying husband.
That was the end of her story. The first thought that came to mind was: if she loved her husband, why did she not call for an ambulance? She could have at least helped him.
Moving my thoughts aside, I said, "I'm very sorry for your loss."
As the broadcast ended, I let out a sigh of relief. Curious, I glanced at the woman's body. She was bandaged everywhere, bloodied from her injuries. Her reddish eyes described her sorrow and lack of sleep. Her unkempt blonde hair and her dirty attire was an indication that she had not bathed in a while. I'm no detective, but I feel like she deliberately looked like the victim.
It has been months since I interviewed the widow. The detectives made a discovery. The husband had several mistresses. He would visit them during the night, grooming them one by one every night. The wife discovered this.
Fueled in wrath, she prepared a pleasant surprise for the husband. She ambushed him, stabbing her husband's heart as soon as he opened the door. She dragged him in, leaving stains on the floor. Cleaning the blood, she decided on her next move. Fabricate a story where she would get away with self-defense. And to support the evidence, she stabbed herself with a fork multiple times and stayed up late.
Disgusting. Both of them.
