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."

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 all that are
close to us.
