You are my Rib

A girl in love asked her boyfriend.

Girl (g): Tell me... whom 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 Holy Book, 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 long 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...

One week later, he heard of her death. She had perished in New York. In the event that shocked the world. 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. 
Tomorrow may never come; give and accept what you have today.

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that
she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must
be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the
place where love resides."

I broke up with her...!!!

Boy:I broke up with her...
His Best Friend:What happened?
 
Boy:She’s just too much for me.
His Best Friend:What makes you say that? What did she do wrong?
 
Boy:Well, ...for one.. She only cared about her appearance. Always had to look good,
always took forever to get dressed! So insecure..
His Best Friend:So, you broke her heart because she wanted to keep your eyes
locked on her? She wanted you to see that you have the prettiest girl
under your sleeve and not think otherwise? I see..
 
Boy:Oh.. Well..
She’d often call me or text me asking where I am, who I’m with, telling
me not to smoke, not to drink. She’s so clingy!
His Best Friend:So,
you broke her heart because she cares about your well being? Because she
cares about you a lot? And her greatest fear is losing you. I see..
 
Boy:But.. Uh.. Well, she’d always cry when I say something slightly
mean. She can’t handle anything. She’s a cry-baby!
His Best Friend:So,
you broke her heart because she has feelings? And because she just
wanted to hear you say you love her? I see..
 
Boy:I.. Well! You know,
she’d get jealous easily. I could barely talk to other girls! She’s so
annoying! I had to hide it from her.
His Best Friend:So, you broke
her heart because she just wanted you to commit to her? She thought you
were faithful, but you lied so she could find out later and hurt even
more? She just wanted the guy she loves the most to love only her. I
see..
 
Boy:Well, she..
His Best Friend:You broke up with her
because she’s good for you? She just wanted the best for you? She’s
broken now because you were selfish. Are you proud?
 
Boy:I broke her heart.. Because I couldn’t see what was happening.. What happened to me?
His Best Friend:You lost the girl that loved you like no one else could.
You see?
You didn’t want her when all she ever wanted was you, that's what happened...!!!
