Paper Crane

Paper Crane
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 and 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 the hardwork and the help of friends, this guy 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 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 car. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore, he had his
own company, car, condo, etc. He'd made it!
Before the guy could realise, the couple walked towards a cemetary, 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 papercranes
beside her
"..... 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!"
Her parents saw him. He asked them how this happened. They explained, she did not leave for France after 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 papercranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again..... he can take some of them 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. Think about it......"
