The Promise

The air was unpleasantly chilly and the thundering rain was making the wet pavement more slippery. A large team of rescuers draped in yellow plastic coats were soaking wet from the downpour, trying hard to slowly and carefully pull an injured man out of the scarred metals and disfigured parts of a car. Most unfortunate it really was that this vehicle was sandwhiched between an electric post and a delivery truck, the impact nearly flattening the car and throwing out the hope of somebody surviving the dreadful accident.

Such a terrible thing to happen indeed to a man living at the peak of his existence right after proposing to a woman he loved, who also returned his absolute devotion.

A few minutes later, just when they were shaking their heads in the vain attempt to rescue someone alive, a thing that could only be classified as a miracle took place, as a dying man shouted for help, thereby urging the rescuers to go on and have more faith.

But as the young and severely injured man was taken out of the wrecked vehicle, the belief of the paramedics that the worst was over was horribly mistaken. Because as he and the love of his life promised to be together until eternity do them part, share every grief and joy, pain and ecstacy, never letting go of each other and proving wrong the people who defy them and their relationship... the next time that they meet, he won't even know who she is...
