Two mute’s love
当两人之间有真爱的时候,是不会考虑到年龄,经济条件,相貌美丑,个子高矮等等外在无关紧要的因素的。
He is a mute. Although he can understand what other people speak, he himself cannot speak. He has neighbor, a girl who will be bound by a common destiny with him, she lives with her grandmother.
She always calls him “Elder Brother” because he really looks and acts like an elder brother. He often walks with her to school, accompanies her to play in the park, and always listens to her chattering with a smile.
He only uses hand signals to communicate with her, she in return can read his every look. Gazing at his loving smile, she knows that Elder Brother likes her very much.
In later years, she finally goes to college; she is extremely happy. He is now working hard to make money, and continuously sends her his money; she never rejects it.
Finally, she graduates, and starts a new job. Eventually, she firmly says to him, “Elder Brother, I must marry you!” He looks at her like a frightened rabbit, and seems to say, “I no longer wish to see you.” She can’t understand his hurtful words.
She says,” Do you think I have pity on you? No, I fell in love with you when I was 12.” But, he does not reply.
Months later, she suddenly becomes ill and is sent to hospital. He is scared, and at once runs to see her. The doctor tells him, “In her throat there had been a lump. Although it has been removed, it has destroyed her vocal chords(声带) she can no longer speak.” On the hospital bed, she gazes at him with her tearful eyes, he lovingly gazes back. And as he tenderly holds her hand, he knows in that instant, their bond is forever: Soon they are happily married.
For many years, nobody hears them deliver a speech. They communicate with hand, and pen, or with the look, they share their joy and sadness together. Men and women envy their love they have. The people say, “How happy the mute husband and his wife are!”
Love can not prevent the god of death from arriving. He leaves her first, and passes away.
One month later, the people fear she can’t go through an operation without her husband to comfort her. Now in hospital, she gazes at his portrait, opens her mouth and says suddenly, “He died.”
The rumor has revealed…
