A short story

One of The Touchiest Stories........

From the very beginning, girl's family

objected strongly on her dating this guy,

saying that it has got to do with family

background, that the girl will have to

suffer for the rest of her life if she were to

be with him.

Due to family's pressure, the couple

quarrelled very often. Though the girl loved

the guy deeply, she always asked him: “How

deep is your love for me?"

As the guy is not good with his words, this

often caused the girl to be very upset. With

that the family's pressure, the gal often

vents her anger on him. As for him... he

only endured it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally

graduated decided to further his studies

overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the

gal:

"I'm not very good with words. But all I

know is that I love you. If you allow me, 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, with the guy's

determination, the family finally gave in

agreed to let them get married. So before he

left, they got engaged.

The gal went out to the working society,

whereas the guy was overseas, continuing

his studies.

They sent their love through emails phone

calls.

Though it was hard, but both never thought

of giving up.

One day, while the gal was on her way to

work, she was knocked down by a car that

lost control.

when she woke up, she saw her parents

beside her bed. She

realized that she was badly injured. Seeing

her mum cry, she wanted to comfort her.

But she realized that all that could come out

of her mouth was just a sigh. she had lost

her voice....

The doctor says that the impact on her brain

has caused her to lose her voice. Listening

to her parents' comfort, but with nothing

coming out from her, she broke down.

During the stay in hospital, besides silent

cry. It’s still just silent cry that accompanied

her. Upon reaching home, everything

seems to be the same. Except for the ringing

tone of the phone which pierced into her

heart every time it rang. She does not wish

to let the guy know

not wanting to be a burden to him, she

wrote letter to him saying that she does not

wish to wait any longer.

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

return, the guy sent millions millions of

reply and countless phone calls... all the gal

could do besides crying is still crying....

her parents decided to move away, hoping

that she could eventually forget everything

be happy.

With a new environment, the gal learnt sign

language started a new life.

Telling her every day that she must forget

the guy. One day, her friend came told her

that he's back. She asked her friend not to

let him know what happened to her. Since

then, there wasn't any more news of him.

A year has passed her friend came with

an envelope, containing an invitation card

for the guy's wedding. The gal was

shattered. When she opened the letter, she

saw her name on it instead. When she was

about to ask her friend what was going on,

she saw the guy standing in front of her....

He used sign language to tell her, “I’ve

spent a year to learn 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 into her

finger.

The girl finally smiled.....
