Let me Love You

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.
The End."
