![]() 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. It�s easier to leave angry words unspoken than heal a heart wounded by such words. © 2004 MiaCarmel. All Rights Reserved.
