LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE

 From the very beginning, the girl's family objected strongly on her

dating this guy saying that it has got to do with family background,

and that the girl would have to suffer for the rest of her life if

she were to be with him. Due to family pressure, the couple

quarreled very often. Though the girl loved the guy deeply, she

always asked him, "how deep is your love for me?" As the guy was not

good with words, this cause the girl to be very upset. With that and

the pressure from her family, the girl would vent her anger on him.

As for him, he endured it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated and decided to

further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the

girl, "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love

you. If you allow it I will take care of you for the rest of my

life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will

you marry me?" The girl agreed and with the guy's determination, the

family finally gave in and agreed to let them get married. So before

he left, they got engaged.

The girl went out to the work, while the guy was overseas,

continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails and

phone calls. Though it was hard, they never gave up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, a car that lost

control knocked her down. When she woke up, she saw her parents

beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her

mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all

that could come out from her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her

voice due to the impact on her brain. During her stay in the

hospital, it was only her silent cry that accompanied her.

Upon reaching home, everything seemed to be the same. Except for the

ringing of the phone. Which pierced into her ear every time it rang.

She did not wish to let the guy know. Not wanting to be a burden to

him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she did not wish to wait

any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the

guy sent hundreds of letters and made countless phone calls. But all

the girl could do was cry.

Her parents decided to move away, hoping that she would eventually

forget everything and be happy. With a new environment, the girl

learned sign language and started a new life, telling herself

everyday that she must forget him.

One day, her friend came and told her that he came looking for her.

She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since

then, there wasn't anymore news of him.

A year has passed and her friend came with an envelope, containing

an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered.

When she opened the letter, she saw her name on it instead. When she

was about to ask her friend what's going on, the guy appeared in

front of her. He used sign language telling her "I've spent a year

learning sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten

our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I love you."

With that, he slipped the ring back onto her finger.

its easier to leave angry words unspoken than heal a heart wounded

by such words
