A girl in love asked her boyfriend...
Girl: Tell me... who do you
love most in this world..?
Boy: You, of course!
Girl: In your
heart, what am I to you?
Boy: The boy thought for a moment and looked
intently in her eyes and said , "You are my rib. In the Bible, it was
said that God saw that Adam was lonely, during his sleep; God took one
of Adam's rib and created Eve.Every man has been searching for his
missing rib, only when you find the woman of your life; you'll no longer
feel the lingering ache in your heart . . ."
After their
wedding, the couple had a sweet and happy life for a while.However,the
youthful couple began to drift apart due to the busy schedule of life
and the never-ending worries of daily problems...their life became
mundane.
All the challenges posed by the harsh realities of life
began to gnaw away their dreams and love for each other...The couple
began to have more quarrels and each quarrel became make their relation
more worst.
One day, after the quarrel, the girl ran out of the
house.... At the opposite side of the road, she shouted, "You don't love
me...!"
The boy hated her childishness and out of impulse,
retorted, "May be, it was a mistake for us to be together..! You were
never my missing rib...!"
Suddenly, she turned quiet and stood
there for a long while.... He regretted what he said but words spoken
are like thrown away water, you can never take it back.
With
tears in her eyes, she went home to pack her things and was determined
in breaking-up. Before she left the house, "If I'm really not your
missing rib, please let me go..... She continued, "It is less painful
this way... let us go on our separate ways and search for our own
partners..."
Five years went by....
He never remarried but
he had tried to find out about her life indirectly...... She had left
the country and married a foreigner and divorced...........
He
felt anguished that she never waited for him. In the dark and lonely
night, he lit his cigarette and felt the lingering ache in his heart.He
couldn't bring himself to admit that he was missing her.....
One
day, they finally met.... At the airport, a place where there were many
reunions and good-byes.... He was going away on a businesstrip.She was
standing there alone, with just the security door separating them. She
smiled at him gently.
Boy: How are you ?
Girl: I'm fine. How
about you... Have you found your missing rib...?
Boy: No.
Girl:
I'll be flying to New York in the next flight.
Boy: I'll be back in 2
weeks time. Give me a call when you are back...You know my number....
Nothing has changed.
With a smile, she turned around and waved
good-bye..
"Good-bye . . ."
One week later, he heard of her
death. She had perished in NewYork. In the event that shocked the
world..
Midnight..... Once again, he lit his cigarette..... And like
before, he felt the lingering ache in his heart.... He finally knew, she
was the missing rib that he had carelessly broken . . .
"Sometimes, people say things out of moments of fury..... Most often ,
the outcome is disastrous and detrimental.... We vent our frustrations
99% at our loved ones.... And even though we know that we ought to
"think twice and act wisely", it's often easier said than done. Things
happen each day, many of which are beyond our control. Let us treasure
every moment and everyone in our lives. Tomorrow may never come; give
and accept what you have today
