A short story that'll make you laugh and cry at the same time
A man was on his deathbed. His wife was dressed all in white, without any make-up. Obviously, she was grieving.
The husband asked her to get dressed up in the finest bridal, the way she was when they got married.
The wife replied that I am this way out of respect for you. It is the most difficult time. How can you ask me for this unusual request. Have you lost your mind? What will people say?
To this the husband said: I am asking you to do this for me only. Don't think I am getting romantic. It's my only hope at surviving. When Yamaraj, the God of Death, comes and sees the beautiful you, I just hope he takes you instead of me.
The wife opened her mouth. The husband was about to get an earful. Then she stopped, smiled. The husband heartily laughed. Then closed his eyes forever. Then, she cried. He was laughing as his body kept still.
