this is from my es fren.. hee.. known as durian..
Title: missing rib.
A girl in love asked her boyfriend..
Girl (g): Tell me... who do you love most in this
world?
Boy (b): You, of course!
(g): In your heart, what am I to you?
(b): The boy thought for a moment and looked
intently in her eyes and said, "You are my rib.
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 she said, "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 came 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....
(She was my missing rib but does she knows..
My
love for her last forever even after this
lifetime...
but time has play a cruel joke on me. If only i
had
the courage to ask her to stay when she left, if
only
i had the courage to ask her back to my side..
if
only... )
