A heart touching love story 4

There was once this guy who is 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 fry 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 couldn't visualize any future for the both of 

them, so let's go their own ways there and then ...Heartbroken, the guy 

agreed. But when he regains his confidence, he worked hard day and night, 

slogging his body and mind just to make something out of him. 

Finally with all these hard work and the help of friends, this guy had 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 

the rain walking to some destination. 

Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him 

long to realize those were his girl's parents. With a heart in getting back 

at them, he droved 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, comfort etc. He made it! Before the guy can realize, the 

couple was walking towards a cemetery, 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 tombstone... and he saw his paper cranes 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 asks them why had this happened. 

 They explained, she did not leave for France at 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 choose 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 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 ... 

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 

The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully 

up the steps. 

She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, 

walked down the aisle and found the seat he'd told her was empty. The

n she's settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. 

It had been a year since Susan became blind. Due to a medical misdiagnosis she had been rendered sightless, 

and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity.

 'How could this have happened to me?' she would plead, 

her heart knotted with anger. But no matter how much she cried or ranted or prayed, 

she knew the painful truth, her sight was 

never going to return. A cloud of depression hung over Susan's once optimistic spirit. 

All she had to cling to was her husband Mark. 

Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. 

When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to 

help his wife gain the strength she needed to become independent again. 

Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? 

She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by 

herself. Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city. 

At first, this comforted Susan and fulfilled 

Mark's need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task. 

Soon, however Mark realized that this arrangement wasn't  working - it was hectic, and costly. 

Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he admitted to himself. 

But just the thought of mentioning it to her made him cringe. 

She was still so fragile, so angry. How would she react? Just as Mark predicted, 

Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. 

"I'm blind!" she responded bitterly. "How am I supposed to know where I'm going?

I feel like you're abandoning me." 

Mark's heart broke but he knew what had to be done. 

He promised Susan that each day he would ride the bus with her until she got the hang of it.

And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all,

 accompanied Susan to and from work each day.

 He taught her how to rely on her other senses to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. 

He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, 

and save her a seat. Each morning they made the journey together, 

and Mark would take a cab back to his office. 

Although this routine was even more costly and exhausting than the previous one, 

Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan 

would be able to ride the bus on her own. Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. 

Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her 

arms around Mark, her temporary bus riding companion, her husband, and her best friend. 

Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty,

 his patience, his love. She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways. 

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.... 

Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. 

On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying for her fare to exit the bus, 

the driver said, "Boy, I sure envy you." 

Susan wasn't sure if the driver was speaking to her or not. After all, 

who on earth would ever envy a blind woman who had struggled just to 

find the courage to live for the past year? "Why do you envy me?" The driver responded, 

"It must feel so good to be taken care of and protected like you are." 

Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, 

"What do you mean?" The driver said, "You know, every morning for the past week, 

a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has

 been standing across the corner watching you when you get off the bus. 

He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches you 

until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, 

gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady." 

Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. For although she couldn't see him, 

she had always felt Mark's presence. She was blessed, 

so blessed, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, 

a gift she didn't need to see to believe - the gift of love that can bring light 

where there had been darkness.
