The Power of Love

There lived a family who has a beautiful daughter. She was probably the prettiest girl in town. That girl’s name was Anna.

Anna fell in love with a young man whose background wasn’t known well. All the people in her family didn’t agree with the relationship that she had with the guy. They gave reasons why they didn’t agree on their relationship, like how his background is not even known. But even so, Anna still insists to be with the guy. Because of the pressure that she got from her family, Anna often fights with her boyfriend but at the same time, really loved him.

“How much do you love me?” she kept on asking him. The guy wasn’t that smart in talking, which made Anna angry.

All the comments from Anna’s parents made her even more angry and upset. Her boyfriend was always the one who gets all the whines from her. The guy didn’t stop her from the shouting, the whining, etc. All he did was be quite.

After quite a while, the guy graduated from university. He was planning to continue his masters degree overseas.

” I don’t know how to say this in sweet words, but I know that I love you. If you agree, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. I will try my best to assure your family so that they will agree on our relationship. Will you marry me?” he proposed to her.

Anna agreed straight away. After her family saw all the hard work that the guy did, they finally approved them. Before the guy left, they had an engagement first. Anna still lives in her town and works so hard, while the guy continued his masters degree in LA. They hang on to their far distance relationship by letters and phonecalls. Sometimes, there were problems going here and there, but they never give up facing those hard situations.

However, on one unfortunate day, Anna got hit by a car which made her unconcious. She saw her parents the moment she opened her eyes. She felt relieved because she was so lucky that she was still alive. Looking at her parents’ tears, she tried to cheer them up. However, she figured one unfortunate thing carried from the accident; she was mute. According to the doctors, the accident had injured her brain, creating Anna’s current situation to continue for the rest of her life. Listening to her parents trying to cheer her up, she couldn’t say a word. Anna fainted.

The whole day, Anna could only cry and mute herself. When she is finally allowed to go out from the hospital, she saw her house just like when before she got this accident. Nothing really changed. Only if the phone rings, she was down and felt upset. The phone ringing was probably her biggest nightmare. She could never tell her boyfriend about this bad news that has happened to her. So, she wrote a letter to him, telling him that she doesnt want to wait any longer. Their relationship was basically over. Anna even gave her engagement ring back to him. Getting phonecalls and letters from the guy, she could only drop a tear and ask herself, ”What is actually happening?”

Anna’s father couldnt bear looking at his daughter suffer, and decided to move, hoping that she can forget everything and live happily.

Moving to a new place, Anna started learning sign language. She tried to forget about her ex-boyfriend. Her friend came to meet her and told her one evening that her ex-boyfriend came back and has been searching for Anna since. She told her friend to not tell him where she is and asked the guy to forget about her. After more than a year, there was no news from him until one particular day, her friend came to tell Anna that he is going to get married and invited her to atend the wedding service. Anna opened the invitation with a broken heart, and found her name on the invitation. Before she got the chance to ask her friend, suddenly the guy was standing in front of her. With sign language, he told her... ”I’ve spent more than a year studying sign language, so that I can tell you that I havent forgotten our promise. Give me a chance, let me be your voice. ”I L O V E Y O U” Looking at that signal language, and the engagement ring that she gave back to him a long time ago, Anna finally smiled.

Lesson: Treat every love as if it’s your last love... and you will learn how to give... Treat every single day as your last day... and you will learn how to appreciate... Never give up!
