V is also for valentine

I guess or im sure you have read this short story. it reminds me of something.

there was once a prince who was cast under a spell by wicked witch. The curse was that he could speak only one word of each year if he wanted to. One sunny day he met a beautiful princess. He fell madly inlove! with so much sacrifice, he decided to refrain from speaking for two whole years so that he could look at her and say "my princess." But at the end of the two years he wished to tell her that he loved her.

So he waited again three more years without speaking. But at the end of thesefive years, he realized that he had to ask her to marry him. So he waited for four years in total silence. Finally, the ninth year without saying a word ended. 

He was overwhelmed with joy. He took his lovely princess to the most romantic place in the kingdom. He gave her a bouquet of a hundred red roses, knely before her, and took her hand and huskly said, "My princess, I love you! Will you marry me?" And the princess tucked a strand of hair behind a pretty ear, opened her sapphire eyes in wonder, and parting her red lips, said: "Pardon?"

Comment:
Communication isnt just about saying the right thing. It involves a lot of listening, too. It's different from merely hearing him or her out. It means being interested about learning more about what the  person is making an effort to tell you.
