WAITING FOR HER ANSWER

(Dedicated to my friend)

Since the frist day he knew her, his heart was already hers. His love grew stronger each day and she seemed to respond to him well. Then one day he decided to propose her asking God to give her to him if it's His will. He told her how he felt, but she's not ready. She didn't want to hurt him but she couldn't accept the proposal at that moment. She told him to wait for some years before she couldn't finally make a decision. After all these thing, still he didn't give up, he wait for her to make decision.

Days gone by, weeks, months, years had passed. Now the time has come, hoping that she will give positive answer . He is full of excitement, too eager to meet her. But, unfortunately, he happens to hear some news about her. His excitement turns into agony, his joy into sorrow. He feels like his heart is pierced through by an arrow. She is getting married ! What ?? Yes, she is getting married to a young officer. Why ? Didn't she care him ? What about the answer to the proposal? Is she a liar? No....Unfortunately, she was forced by her parents to marry that rich man.

I was shocked too when I heard the news. I can't look at his melancholic face, the pain and suffering he has gone through. I couldn't understand ! Why the rich always get whatever/whoever they want ! For the sake of LOVE, let's not ignore the feeling of the heart.

Lastly, my friend, God's ways are not our ways, God's wisdom are much higher than ours. I believe He has a better plan for you. And my conclusion, God answers the prayer that you prayed. But why? Only God knows.

(True story :-) )
