" THE SILENT LOVE "

There was once a man who was very much in love with a girl. This man is very
romantic. The man folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.
Although he was just a small executive in his company, they were very happy
together.

One day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and would never come back.
She also told him that she could visualize any bright future for both of them, so
let’s go their own ways . The man then was heartbroken but he agreed.

One day he regained his confidence. He worked hard day and night, just to
make something out of himself. Finally with all these hard work and the help of
his friends, theman had set up his own company. “You never fail until you stop
trying.”, that was what he always told himself, “I must make it in life!”

One rainy day, when the man was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an
umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. It didn’t take him long to
realize that those were his ex-girlfriend’s parents. He drove slowly beside the
couple. He wanted them to see him in his luxury car. He wanted them to know
that he wasn’t the same one anymore.

The couple was walking towards a cemetery. Following them, the man got out
of his car. There, he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her smiling sweetly.
He saw his precious paper cranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb.
The couple saw him. The man walked over and asked them why this had
happened. They explained that their daughter did not leave for France. She was
stricken ill with cancer. She had believed that he would make it someday, but
she did not want her illness to be his obstacle. Therefore she had chosen to leave
him.

His daughter had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her. If the
day came, when fate brings him to her again, he could take some of those paper
cranes back with him. The man just wept.
