The Missing Rib
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?
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.
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 make their relation more worst
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
The boy hated her childishness
and out of impulse
retorted, "May be, it was a mistake for us to be together!
You were never my missing rib!"
Suddenly
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 in her eyes
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
Five years went by
He never remarried
but he had tried to find out about her life indirectly
She had left the country and married a foreigner and divorced
He felt anguished that she never waited for him
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
With a smile
she turned around and waved good-bye
One week later
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
