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?
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 more heated.
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, "Maybe,
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, 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 back...
She
had 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
business trip. 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 New York. 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 than
not,
the outcome could be 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.
