Once upon a time, there was once a guy who was very much in
love with this girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces
of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at that
time he was just a small executive in his company, his
future doesn't seemed too bright, they were very happy
together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to
Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she
cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so let's
go their own ways there and then... heartbroken, the guy
agreed.
When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and
night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out
of himself. Finally with all these hard work and with the
help of friends, this guy had set up his own company...
"You never fail until you stop trying." he always told
himself. "I must make it in life!"
One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly
couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some
destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still
drenched. It didn't take him long to realize those were his
ex-girlfriend's parents. With a heart in getting back at
them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to
spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he
wasn't the same anymore. He had his own company, car, condo,
etc. He had made it in life!
Before the guy can realize, the couple was walking towards a
cemetery, and he got out of his car and followed them...and
he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her smiling
sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone... and he saw his
precious paper cranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb.
Her parents saw him. He walked over and asked them why this
had happened. They explained, she did not leave for France
at all. She was stricken ill with cancer. In her heart, she
had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not
want her illness to be his obstacle ... therefore she had
chosen to leave him.
She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside
her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her
again he can take some of those back with him. The guy just
wept ...the worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right
beside them but knowing you can't have them and will never
see them again. |
