Here is another story I would like to share with the steemians hoping by reading this we will be watchful and careful of what words we will uttered and say, for once it comes out into our mouth it's very hard to get back, it's like rain that pours and wet everyone's around especially our beloved one's.

The story may seems a little sad but the lesson to learn is indeed hold deep in our hearts.

An in love girl once asked her boyfriend "whom he loved most in the world." And the boy answered "you of course". And another question she asked him is "in your heart what am I to you? The boy think silently and then intently look into her eyes and said "you are my missing rib." Just like what the Bible says when God saw Adam his lonely He get one of his ribs and made it to be his partner and that was Eve. Every man is trying to find his missing rib and once he finds the right woman it's only then the lingering ache in heart will gone.

They wed and live a sweet life but only for a moment. However, the young couple fall apart for they both have a busy schedule and the worries of daily lives torn them apart. Their love becomes dull and they argued and have quarrels everyday. The distress and harsh reality of life become distressful and take away the love and the dreams they used to share. The quarrels they have become so mean and brought hatred to each other.

One day after their quarrel the girl go outside across the road and shouted "you don't love me." The boy dislike her childishness and out of impulse respond "maybe it was a mistake for us to be together! You were never my missing rib!"

Instantly she stood in there silently for a long while. He regretted for what he had said but the words had already been spoken. The girl went inside the house with tears in her eyes and persistent to break up.

Before leaving she said "if I'm really not your missing rib, please let me go, it's less painful this way. Let's go to our own separate way and find our own partners."

Five years went by but he never remarried but he tried to know about her life indirectly. She left the country and married foreigner and divorce. He felt hurt for she never waited him. In the dark and lonely night he felt the lingering ache of his heart. He couldn't admit how he misses her.

Finally they met at the airport just security door separated them. The girl gently smile at him. He will go for business trip and the girl will fly for New York.

They've got a small talk. Boy ask "how are you? Girl said "I'm fine, have u found your missing rib? Boy answered "no", I'll be back in two weeks. The girl respond "give me a call when u get back, you know my number. Nothing is changed." They both went their ways and waved goodbye with a smile on their faces.

But after one week he heard her death. She had died in New York in the event that shocked the world.

And again in the dark, another lonely night he felt the lingering ache of his heart. And now he finally realized that she was the missing rib that he carelessly broken.

Sometimes we do say and done bad things which we shouldn't have to say or do. But because of angry that we felt in that moment we done what should not be. But for as long as you can take it back then do it, before it's too late.

So if we lose control of ourselves it is better to remember to go away instead to fight back or argued with your loved one before unnecessary words will come out in your mouth.

Remember we don't own our life and we don't know when it will be gone. So love like you will lose them tomorrow.
