THE PAPER CRANES
There was once this guy who is very much in love
with his 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
fry in his company, his future didn't seem 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 they went their own
ways there and then... Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But 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 the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set
up his own company..
You
never fail until you stop trying. 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 they were his
girl'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 any more; he had
his own company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused
him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out
of his car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her
smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his
paper cranes right beside her... Her parents saw him. He asked them
why this had happened. They explained, she did not leave for France
at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed that he will make
it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore
she had chosen to leave him. Just because someone doesn't love you
the way you wa nt them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with
all they have.
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... Once you have loved, you will always
love. For what's in your mind may escape but what's in your heart
will remain forever. The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone
is to be sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see
her or be with her ever again.........hope you understand.
