A girl in love asked her boyfriend...
Girl: Tell me... who do you love most in this world..?
By: 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 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.

(b): How are you?
(g): I'm fine. How about you... Have you found your missing rib...?
(b): No.
(g): I'll be flying to New York in the next flight.
(b): 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 . . . "
