There once was a very serene and beautiful city, lived in it, was a very loving couple. They would sit at the beach, watch the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening. Every person that saw them envied them...
But, one day, the girl was involved in a fatal accident. She lied on the hospital bed for days, in a coma. In the day, the boy would accompany for the lifeless girl. At night, he would pray at the city church, longing for her recovery. His tears has dried.
A month passed, yet the girl was still lifeless. The boy grew haggard. Yet, he held on. God was finally touched by the devotion of the boy and would make an exception for the boy.
God asked, "Would you trade your life for hers?""Yes," came the reply, firm and sure."Good. I would let her wake up, but you would become a dragonfly for 3 years."
"Sure"
Day broke, and the boy morphed into a beautiful dragonfly. The dragonfly bade farewell to god and flew away. The girl soon awoke and even talked to the doctor, yet he could hear nothing.
The girl recovered well and was discharged in a few days, but she was not happy. She tried tracking the boy, but no one knew anything.
She never stopped.
The dragonfly was always around her, yet his words, too soft; his touch, too weak. He could only stood and watch. Summer passed, autumn soon followed, the dragonfly has to leave the place.
It was his last time on the girl's shoulder. He wanted to use his wings to stroke the girl's cheek and use his tiny mouth to kiss her forehead, but all was futile. She couldn't felt it.
Time passed, spring arrived. The dragonfly flew back in search for his lover. But beside her familiar silhouette, stood a masculine figure. In that instant, the dragonfly almost plunged from mid-air.
People talked about how seriously ill the girl got after the accident; How kind the doctor(the masculine figure) was; How natural their love was; How happy the girl was as before.
The dragonfly sunk into melancholy. He would watch the doctor bring the girl to the beach, to watch the sunrise, and the sunset. Yet, he could only occasionally land on the girl's shoulder. Tears flowed down
The first summer was particularly long. The dragonfly was in deep sorrow and pain. He does not have the courage to approach the past lover. Their sweet nothings was suffocating him.
The 3rd summer arrived, the dragonfly no longer visited the girl as often as he would. Her shoulder was already sheltered by the doctor; her face kissed by the doctor, why would she notice a heart-broken dragonfly, let alone remember her past?
The 3 year agreement was coming to an end.
On the last day, the doctor and the girl was stepping into the church, they were getting married. The dragonfly slipped into the church and sat on God's shoulder. He heard the vow: I do. He saw the doctor slipped the ring into her fingers. He saw them kiss affectionately.
Sadness flowed down as tears.
God sighed," Have you regretted?"
"NO!" the dragonfly wiped his tears.
God lightened up, " Then, tomorrow you will morph back..."
"Let me be a dragonfly forever..."
Some fate are meant to be lost. Loving someone doesn't mean having him/her. But having him/her means loving her with all you have. Is there a dragonfly on your shoulder?
Feel so like crying for the dragonfly... its true...some fate are meant to be lost...loving someone dont always mean u must be with tat person...
