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 I simply know 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 and touched by the guy's determination, the family
finally gave in and agreed to let them get married. So before he left
the country, they got engaged.
The
girl entered the working society, whereas the guy continued his
studies overseas. They kept their love strong through emails and
phone calls. Even though it's hard, neither of them never thought of
giving up.
One
day, while the girl 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. She saw her mum
crying and wanted to comfort her. But she realized that she could
only muster a sigh. She has lost her voice...
The
doctors explanation was that the impact of the accident on her brain
caused her to lose her voice. When she heard her parents comforting
her but she was unable to reply them at all, she broke down.
During
the stay in the hospital, other than crying silently there was
nothing else she could do. Upon reaching home, life seemed to go on
normally. However, whenever the phone rang, the ringtone seemed to
pierce through her heart. She had no wish of letting the guy know
about her condition. She did not want to be a burden to him. Hence,
she wrote a letter to him informing him that she does not wish to
wait for him to come back any longer.
Following
that, she sent the engagement ring back to him. In return, the guy
sent millions of reply and countless phonecalls... The girl could
only drown her sorrows in tears as she ignored them all.
The
parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget
everything and be happy. With a new environment, the girl picked up
sign language and started a new life. She told herself everyday that
she must forget about the guy.
One
day, her friend informed her that he's back from abroad. She
requested her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since
then, there wasn't anymore news of him.
A
year later, her friend came back with an envelope, containing an
invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When
she opened the letter, she saw shocked to see her name as the bride.
Just when she was about to ask her friend what's going on, she saw
the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language to tell her
this,
"I've
spent a year's time 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."
