The meaning of true LOVE

From the very beginning, the girl's family objected strongly on dating this guy. They say that this guy has nothing to do as his family background is not good enough for the girl's family and the girl will suffer for the rest of her life if she will be with this guy. Due to family's pressure, the quarrel very often. Although the girl love the guy deeply, she always ask him: "Do you really love me?". The guy is not good in words that makes the girl very angry with him. After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated and decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl, " I am not good in 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. I will try my best to talk with your family.....Will you marry me?". The girl agreed and with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in and agreed to finally get them married. So before he left, they got engaged. They sent their love through emails and phone calls. Though it was hard, they never thought of giving up. One day, when 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 mom crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice....The doctor said that the impact on her brain caused to loose her voice. Listening to her parents comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in the hospital, besides silent cry, its still 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 every time it rang. She does not to let the guy know and does not want to be a burden to him. She wrote a letter ti him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent back the ring to him. In return, the guy sent millions and millions of replies and countless of phone calls. However, all the girl could do besides crying is still crying. The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything and be happy. She told everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, a friend came with a new environment, the girl learn sign language and started a new life and told her that he is 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 and her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was heart broken and thought he had found someone else. However to her surprise, when she opened the letter, she saw her name as the bride instead. When she was asked her friend what's going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language telling her: "I've spent a years time to learn sign language, just to let you know I have not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You.". He then slipped back the ring back into her finger, the girl finally smiled and they become happily married. (encoded and edited by Philip Lester P. Benjamin)
