A true and sad love
story....
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 paper cranes 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 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 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 cemetery, 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 paper cranes 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 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 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 that entire are close to us...
