The precious untold promise
Do you know about the lifetime promises that we make? or Do we make it only once in a lifetime? We are aware of the inspirational sayings that were spoken, during those lifetime promises. When it occurs, we love to treasure that moment, but we still have a nagging doubt that will everything turn out okay ?. These promises, however, are subject to where life leads us. Our life may take us to a roller coaster ride consist of twists and turns or they may consist of peaceful bike rides in our country side. Whatever the rides may be we should stick to our promises.
It always requires time and, obviously, effort to keep the promises. Eventually, the promise you make for yourself stays within you. Now, I would like to narrate a story about a girl, who lived by the sea. She was teased by her brother, who called her “the pebble collector.” because she loves wandering along the seashore and gathering pebbles. Moreover she used all these pebbles to decorate her garden. One day when she was collecting the pebbles, she discovered a magnificent and rare vibrant green pebble. She chose not to put it in the pebbles pouch; she kept it separate. She kept the green stone in a secret box which was always hidden behind her vanity. She wanted to make a ring out of it and gift it to her soulmate. Every time she looked in the vanity mirror, she remembered the stone and the promise she made to herself .
As the years passed on, she moved to the city. She totally forgot about the stone . However, her brother shared the same beachfront home. Despite having a busy schedule, she managed to meet her ideal partner—who also happened to be her neighbour. Her marriage was the huge event in her life that finally arrived. She remembered the promise she made to herself as everyone was presenting their gifts. Thinking about the ring she couldn’t make in time made her feel a bit unhappy.
During a downpour, the young couple went to see the brother. As she entered the home, she noticed a sparkly box on the davenport that was bound with red satin ribbon. She quickly understood that should be her brother’s wedding gift to her. The gift was shortly taken by her brother and handed to her husband. The family members encouraged her husband to open it. He opened the present slowly while looking at his wife. He was totally stunned looking at an aesthetic big sur jade ring in the box. she put the ring on her husband’s finger in accordance with the family’s wish.
After brunch, she went to her room to see the stone that she had left there years ago. She quickly realized that her hidden box was missing. She turned around and saw her brother standing next to her holding the secret box. She quickly reached for it to take a look, but it was full of pebbles that her brother had gathered for her, this time including some rare varieties. Before she could ask her brother about the green stone, he pointed out her husband’s jade ring to her. She was still furious over it and her brother told her, the green stone which she had been saving for years, was a rare piece of jade, not just a stone. When she discovered the truth ,she could not believe it. The promise which she made for herself ,which she never revealed to anyone also came true at the right moment. Our strong feelings are always powerful and when it is untold its more powerful.
Nice
