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 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 let’s go their own ways there and then… heartbroken,
the guy agreed.
When he regained his
confidence, he worked hard day and night, 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 saloon. 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 exgirlfriend, 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
that 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.
