[b]A girl in love asked her boyfriend,

Girl (g): Tell me, who do you love most in this world?

Boy (b): You, of course!

(g): In your heart, what am I to you?

(b): The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes

and said, "You are my rib. In the Bible, it was said that God saw
that Adam was lonely, during his sleep; God took one of Adam's rib

and created Eve. Every man has been searching for his missing rib,

only when you find the woman of your life; you'll no longer feel the

lingering ache in your heart."

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 more heated,

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 and out of impulse, retorted, "Maybe, it was a mistake
for
us to be together! You were never my missing rib!"

Suddenly, she turned quiet and stood there for a while, He regretted
what
he said but words spoken are like thrown away water,

you can never take it back. With tears, 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, He never remarried but he had tried to find out
about her life indirectly, She had left the country and back, She had
married a foreigner and divorced, 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.

(b): How are you?

(g): I'm fine. How about you, Have you found your missing rib?

(b): No.

(g): I'll be flying to New York in the next flight.

(b): 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 good-bye,

Good-bye,

O! One week later, he heard of her death. She had perished in New York.

In the event that shocked the world, the Sept 11 attack.

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,

Sometimes, people say things out of moments of fury, Most often
than
not, the outcome could be disastrous and detrimental, We vent our
frustrations 99% 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.
Things
happen each day, many of which are beyond our control,
Let us treasure every moment and everyone in our lives, If you plan
to
just value them tomorrow, tomorrow may never come, and you realize one
of
them could have been your missing rib,

Note

I am sure you would have ! preferred to hear a happy ending to this
story,
where they met and made back up and lived happily ever after.

But this did not happen, and so this true story ends on a sad note. The
good
thing is, though, that you and I still have the opportunities to make
the
stories in our lives have happy endings.

So, don't let your missing rib or your rib-owner pass you by. Don't
disappoint or hurt your spouse, parents or brothers or sisters, or
boyfriend
or girlfriend. You see you never know when they may be taken from you,
so be
sure to relate to them how much they mean to you and how much you love
them,
EVERYDAY [/b] [i][/i]

Ouch, what a touching sob story, My advice to anyone in a similar situation is to head for the nearest Brothel to shag his brains out (taking due care for his safety of course). Dnt want to wake up to headlines of "Man commits suicide after long lost love dies" tommorow.
