"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."
Paper Cranes
There was once this guy who was 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 fly 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 visualise
any future for the both of them, so let's go our 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 these hard work and the help of friends, this guy set up
his own company.
One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing
an umbrella under 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
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 anymore; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He
made it! Before the guy could realise, the couple was walking towards a
cemetery, and 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 tomb stone and he
saw his paper cranes beside her.
Find time to realise that there is one person who means so much to you, for
you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing
to you.
Her parents saw him. He asked them why had this 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 want 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.
The guy just wept.
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't
have them
