Perfectionist
After his mother, it was his wife’s turn to chide him for his lethargy. Only a few of his good friends knew him to be a perfectionist. ‘You take a year to complete a chore’ was the common refrain muttered by his wife. His sweet talk on any given day always ended in a tiff. His wife, who envied the life of a butterfly, was fed up with him.
Unfortunately, he died suddenly of a heart attack.
A year later, in a drunken brawl, certain words slipped from two men, which led to the arrest of his wife for murder.
