Luckily, the rope was cut and Annie planned to escape quickly. The old man ran to
grip Anna’s neck furiously as he saw the loosen rope, but he was tripped over by the rocks.
Immediately, Annie ran to her camel. She thought the key wasn’t as important as Jack and she
rode off with her camel to find Jack eventually.
Annie couldn’t believe that Jack was missing in thin air. She finally reported to the cops, but
none of them was able to find Jack. The cops said hopelessly, “I think you should give up! It’s hard
to find him in this huge desert.” Annie felt helplessly.
Another two years, Jack was still missing.
Thirty years later, Annie kept searching Jack with hope. She looked at the carven bracelet
which was given by Jack. The camel walked slowly with her, “Please come back, Jack!” She
started to sob.
When she rested herself on a huge rock, she found something on the yellow sand. She leaned
closer to see clearly. Her heart was bouncing in surprise because she remembered that it was
Jack’s bracelet with her carved name. She cried sorrowfully and used her walking cane to dig
the sand seriously. Finally, she saw the skeleton and there was a ring on the finger. Her heart was
filled with sadness.
A few hours later, a team of explorers saw Annie sitting next to a dead body, one of them
asked, “What happened?” She said speechlessly with tears, “My husband…” The explorer held her
hand gently, “Although he’s gone, he’s always in your heart.”
After going back to the place where she belonged, she took out the notebook. She read it
through with a broken heart. She wanted to write a book about her life. She was crying while she
was starting to write.
She went to the grave and said, “I’ll always be there for you.” She looked at the pink sky.
Even. It’s raining heavily, she didn’t want to leave.
Annie died after a few years.
Jack smiled at Annie who was at the golden gates and he opened the door for her. He said
warmly, “I’ve been waiting for you, my lovely wife.” They lived happily again.
A crowd of people bowed in front of Annie’s grave with books in hands, all of them wished
she would live pleasantly at the far end of the Rainbow Bridge with Jack.
