Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 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: " You are my rib.It was said 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, couple had a sweet, happy life for a while. However, the youthful couple began to drift apart due to the busy schedule of life and never-ending daily problems, 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 shouted, " You don't love me! " The boy hated her childishness and out of impulse, retorted, " Maybe, it's a mistake for us to be together! You were never my missing rib! " Suddenly, she turned quiet, he regretted what he said but words spoken are like thrown away water, you can never take it back. With tears, before she left the house, " If I'm really not your missing rib, please let me go. " It is less painful this way.. he foolishly let her go... Five years went by... He never married and 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. 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: Give me a call, you know my number. Nothing has changed. With a smile, she turned around and waved good bye... One week later, he heard of her death. She had perished in New York, in the event that shocked the world.(WTC 9-11) 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. Too late.. Sometimes, people say things out of moments of fury.We vent our frustrations 99% at our loved ones. Things happen each day, many of which are beyond our control. Let us treasure our loved ones. Tomorrow may never come. Give and accept what you have today.
