Caught by her smile


Well like most authors i am one who do not
believe in love at first sight untill i experienced it
myself...
It all started like this, I was with a few friends at
McDonalds, after my lecture from school, we were
chatting and laughing at some stupid stories that
one of my friends told...
Just then, a group of girls come and took their
seats, there was this girl, quite outstanding for
that striking red top she was wearing and she
had this sweet smile...
Then, while they were at the counter, ordering
their food, i noticed something, they all had a
disability, they could not talk... But, this was not
considered a disability to me, i walked up to
them, and ask for her number, well, she was
suprised?
But, she eventually gave me her address and her
name is Elaine, she does not have a phone at
home and there was no possibility to talk to
her...
After a few days, i sent her a letter, asking her
out on a date the following Saturday. Whether she
agreed to the date or was it rejected, i could not
tell for i do not know!
We were supposed to meet at the Lido cinema to
catch a movie, i waited for around 5mins then,
she appeared. She was wearing that same smile
that caught me..
In the cinema, we saw he show "Ice Age." In
order to communicate, i needed to get a pen and
paper...
I asked her about how she felt about me.. she
told me she was very happy, but at the same
time, she was worried as she could not define
whether my love was out of sympathy or was it
from my heart.
From that moment, i have been asking myself the
question, untill a month later after my exams, i
finally made up my mind, i was really in love with
her, not for her disability that i sympathize, not
for that she is pretty, but for the fact that i love
her... i went to her home, which made her quite
suprised, i pulled her out of her home and ran to
the park in font of her block of flats, i looked at
her and wrote to her how i felt, she looked at my
with those big black eyes, those that could take
your soul away if you were you stare at it for a
long time.
She took the pen and wrote this sentence,"I love
you too, but now that i am assured that you love
me for wat i am and not out of sympathy, i feel
that i will not regret the decision.."
Now, we have been together for two years and
althoguh we have not planned to get married, i
have never once quarrel with her, not even on
paper and i never will...

True love story-2

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of
marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy
was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was
around two years old, one morning the husband
saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work
so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it
in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the
kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the
bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all.
It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for
adults in small dosages. When the child
collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital,
where he died. The mother was stunned. She was
terrified how to face her husband.
When the distraught father came to the hospital
and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and
uttered just four words.
What do you think were the four words?
The husband just said "I Love You Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is
proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can
never be brought back to life. There is no point in
finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he
have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will
not have happened. No
point in attaching blame. She had also lost her
only child. What she needed at that moment was
consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is
responsible or who to blame, whether in a
relationship, in a job or with the people we know.
We miss out some warmth in human relationship
in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't
forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in
the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't
multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on
to forgiveness.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of
perspective, there would be much fewer problems
in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness
to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find
things are actually not as difficult as you think.

The Salty Coffee


He met her at a party. She was so outstanding,
many guys chasing after her, while he was so
normal, nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have
coffee with him, she was surprised but due to
being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice
coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything,
she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to
herself, "Please, let me go home..."
Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please
give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face
turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee
and drank it. She asked him curiously, "Why you
have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little
boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea,
I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste
of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the
salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think
of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I
miss my parents who are still living there." While
saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply
touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom
of his heart. A man who can tell out his
homesickness, he must be a man who loves
home, cares about home, has responsibility of
home... Then she also started to speak, spoke
about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her
family.
That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful
beginning of their story. They continued to date.
She found that actually he was a man who meets
all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind
hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good
person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his
salty coffee! Then the story was just like every
beautiful love story, the princess married to the
prince, and then they were living the happy life...
And, every time she made coffee for him, she put
some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the
way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter
which said, "My dearest, please forgive me,
forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I
said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first
time we dated? I was so nervous at that time,
actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It
was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I
never thought that could be the start of our
communication! I tried to tell you the truth many
times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that,
as I have promised not to lie to you for
anything... Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I
tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee,
what a strange bad taste... But I have had the
salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I
never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having
you with me is my biggest happiness for my
whole life. If I can live for the second time, still
want to know you and have you for my whole life,
even though I have to drink the salty coffee
again."
Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday,
someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty
coffee?" She replied, "It's sweet."
Pass this to everyone because love is not to
forget but to forgive, not to see but understand,
not to hear but to listen, not to let go but HOLD
ON!!!!

A Silent Love


From the very beginning, the girl's family objected
strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has
got to do with family background & that the girl
will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she
were to be with him.
Due to family's pressure, the couple quarrel very
often. Though the girl love the guy deeply, but
she always ask him: "How deep is your love for
me?"
As the guy is not good with his words, this often
causes the girl to be very upset. With that & the
family's pressure, the girl often vents her anger
on him. As for him, he only endures it in silence.
After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated
& decided to further his studies in overseas.
Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: "I'm not
very good with words. But all I know is that I love
you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the
rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best
to talk them round. Will you marry me?"
The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination,
the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get
married. So before he leaves, they got engaged.
The girl went out to the working society, whereas
the guy was overseas, continuing his studies.
They sent their love through emails & phone calls.
Though it's hard, but both never thought of giving
up.
One day, while the girl was on her way to work,
she was knocked down by a car that lost control.
When she woke up, she saw her parents beside
her bed. She realized that she was badly injured.
Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort
her. But she realized that all that could come out
of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her
voice......
The doctor says that the impact on her brain has
caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her
parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out
from her, she broke down.
During the stay in hospital, besides silence
cry,.....it's still just silence cry that companied
her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be
the same. Except for the ringing tone of the
phone. Which pierced into her heart every time it
rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. &
not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a
letter to him saying that she does not wish to
wait any longer.
With that, she sent the ring back to him. In
return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply,
and countless of phone calls,.. all the girl could
do, besides crying, is still crying....
The parents decided to move away, hoping that
she could eventually forget everything & be
happy.
With a new environment, the girl learnt sign
language & started a new life. Telling herself
everyday that she must forget the guy. One day,
her friend came & told her that he's back. She
asked her friend not to let him know what
happened to her. Since then, there wasn't
anymore news of him.
A year has passed & her friend came with an
envelope, containing an invitation card for the
guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When she
opened the letter, she saw her name in it instead.
When she was about to ask her friend what's
going on, she saw the guy standing in front of
her. He used sign language telling her "I've spent
a year's time to learn sign language. Just to let
you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let
me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You.
With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger.
The girl finally smiled.

A way of Love


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

your's pickpocketer, "

got off the bus, i was shocked that my purse was
stolen!
there was nothing in my purse to worry, just 150 rs
and one envelope with a letter which i wrote for my
mother to say that "i lost my job....., i won't be
able to send money this month....."
the letter was in my pocket since one week, coz i
was not willing to send it to her that she would
feel bad.
anyway that 150 was not a big amount.... but who
has no job in this expensive city...... and who has
to look his family.... for him....., its like 1500
rs......
After some days, i got a letter from my mother, i
was afraid that she wrote for money.....!
but i was shocked to read the letter, - "thank you
son! i got the your money 500rs. that you send to
me."
i kept thinking who would have send that money
to her....!!
some days passed, i again got another letter from
my mother
"dear son, i got a letter , it has very small and bad
hand writing , but i broke my glass, i can't read it
properly so im sending it to you"
i opened the letter , it said -
" i send 500 rs to your mother.... adding 400 rs
with your 100 rs.....
after all mother is mother, why should she stay
hungry!
anyway, as soon as possible look for a job and
look after your mother

Moral: no matter what the proffession is! good or
bad! the feeling for a mother is always same for
everyone.
