A Story that touches the Heart - Happy Sunday
« on: July 21, 2013, 03:06:01 PM »
I found this story and thot it was worth sharing

Please read .. A Sad story with a important lesson for all of us.
--------------- -----
A girl in love asked her boyfriend.
Girl (g): Tell me... whom do you love most in this world?
Boy (b): You, of course!
Girl(g): 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 Holy Book, 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...nothin g 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. "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a
woman must be seen in her eyes,because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
