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 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 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 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,
car, 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.
