From the very beginning, girl’s family objected strongly on her dating
this guy, saying that it has got to do with family background, & that
the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be
with him.

Due to family’s pressure, the couple quarrelled very often. Though the
girl loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: “How deep is your love
for me?” As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused the
girl to be very upset. With that & the family’s pressure, the girl often
vents her anger on him. As for him, he only endured it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further
his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl:

“I’m not very good with words. But all I know is that 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, & with the guy’s determination, the family finally gave in
& agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged.
The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas,
continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone
calls. Though it was hard, but both 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. Seeing her mum crying,
she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out
of her mouth was just a sigh. she had lost her voice…..

The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her
voice. Listening to her parents’ comfort, but with nothing coming out
from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides silent
cry,.. it’s still just that silent cry that accompanied her.
Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the
ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart everytime it
rang.
She does not wish to let the guy know & not wanting to be a burden to
him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any
longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent
millions & millions of letters, countless phone calls,.. all the girl
could do, besides crying, is still crying…. The parents decided to
move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be
happy.

With a new environment, the girl learns sign language & started a new
life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day,
her friend came & told her that he’s back. She asked her friend not to
let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn’t anymore news
of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing a
invitation card for the guy’s wedding. The girl was shattered.. When she
opened the letter, she saw her name in it instead. 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 “I’ve spent a year 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.

Treat every relationship as if it’s the last one, then you’ll know how
to Give. Treat every moment as is it’s the last day, then you’ll know
how to treasure.
