1000 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 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 couldn’t 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 him. Finally with all these 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 under 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
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 can realize, 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 tombstone and he saw his paper
cranes beside her...
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...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
them knowing you can't have them ...........hope you understand. Find time
to realize 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.
