There was once a guy who was very much in love with this girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of papercranes 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 overseas and will never come back . . She also told him that she cannot visualise 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 hardwork 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 realise 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 , ca r, condo , etc . . He had made it in life !
Before the guy can realise , the couple was walking towards a cemetary ,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 papercranes 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 papercranes 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 . .
The End
A tragic story that perhaps happens only in the movies . . At the end of the day , money is money is money but love is divine . . In our quest for our material wealth, take time to make time for our loved ones . . There will be a time when we have only memories to cling to . .
Take this weekend to show our "love" to all that are close to us . .
