One day, her best friend tells her that the boy’s back. He’s searching all around for her, she asked her best friend not to tell him about her and asked her to tell him to forget her. After that, for more than a year there was no news of the boy. One day her best friend tells her, that the boy is getting married soon, and passed the Wedding Card to her. She opens the card sadly, but she found her name on the card.

 

The moment she wants to ask her best friend, the boy appears in front of her. With an unfamiliar sign language, he told her ”I spent more than a year’s time, to force myself to learn sign language, in order to tell you, I have not forgotten our promise, give me an opportunity, let me be your voice. I love you. “Looking at the slow sign language by the boy, and the engagement ring she gave back to him, She finally smiled.
