MISSING RIB!!!
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, she said,
"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.... 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.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THEIR MISSING RIBS & HAVE
FULFILLED ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS PLS. TREASURE & GUIDE
JEALOUSLY.
For those that have seen but haven't fulfilled all
righteousness all you need do is take a little step of
faith & God will see you through.
For those that are still searching, good luck. I have found mine. Her name is Uju!
