Five years went by...
He never remarried but he had tried to find out about
her life indirectly. She had left the country for a while
but retuned eventually. She had married a foreigner and
that relationship ended with a divorce. 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 each other by chance at the
airport, a place where there were many reunions and goodbyes.
He was going away on a business trip. She was standing
there alone. They were separated by the security door
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, she turned around and waved goodbye.
Goodbye...
One week later, he heard of her death. She had perished
in New York in the event that shocked the world on September
11.
Once again on another dark and lonely night, 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.
Sometimes, people say things out of moments of fury.
More often than not, the outcome could be disastrous and
detrimental. We vent our frustrations 99% of the time
at our loved ones. And even though we know that we ought
to "Think twice and act wisely", it's often
easier said than done.
Many of the things which happened each day are beyond
our control. Let us treasure every moment and everyone
in our lives.
Tomorrow may never come. Give and accept what you have
today
