SHE GAVE HIM HER HEART WHILE LEAVING
(Have you read a story of a woman who gave her heart (love) to a soldier who left for war for a long time?
I want to herein paraphrase the story, I know those who have read something akin to this will add flesh to the skeleton I am putting up here.)
There was a young lady who was espoused to the young man at the twilight of the war breaking out.
When the war eventually broke out and her guy was shortlisted to go to the war, they reaffirm their love for each other as the guy left for war with others.
The war took years as I guessed you can recollect then that transportation is not as easy as this.
Many were killed at the war front.
Expectedly, shortly after the guy left for war, different guys started going to this damsel to ask her out for as she and others know, no one could predict the outcome of a war, the most powerful have been killed at the battlefield let alone a naive person ad-hocly enlisted.
She thanked all those who came but would not give her heart out to anyone again.
Her parents after a while may equally have pressured her to reconsider her stance when the battle was ongoing for years as she wasn't getting Younger, but she didn't yield to them.
There is nothing that's started that won't doesn't have an end, rumors making rounds show that the war has ended and soldiers are returning to their towns.
Different soldiers have returned but her lover wasn't among them.
The people would have been mocking her, she has waited for nothing, she should have listened to their counsel and get married to someone else….
At the battlefield as we know or have heard of soldiers, her spouse also was tempted by different ladies at the village they put up at. While her spouse's friends were getting engaged to different ladies at different towns, having fun and enjoying life to its fullest, he never did that for he always remembered the words between him and his spouse whom he left behind in their town.
When he couldn't be found to return with others to the town, the soldiers with whom he had left were contacted and terrible news waa given them. It has been a while since he was last seen.
He must have been killed, they replied.
The lady now woman cried her heart out and resolved within her that she will die like that without marrying someone else. She was talked to, but she again didn't listen. It's better I die like this and we go and wed in the life beyond than getting romantically involved with someone else. Nothing could change her disposition nor anyone.
Intriguingly no one knows he has been taken hostage they all thought he has been killed by the enemies.
Years after those who have returned returned, the enemies released him. He came back to the town.
What was in his heart is locating his spouse. He finds it a little bit hard locating her place as places have changed. When he eventually located her, he couldn't believe she was still waiting for him.
It was a moment of joy for the love birds when they saw each other….
Thinking about this story and the supposed kind of love, I asked myself can we still find such love today?
This is the time when money reigns, the time of technology, the time that one could barely find one who truly loves without attachments….
Question: Is a love like this still in existence?
