Story of the Tree, Wind and Leaf

Tree===

People call me "Tree".I had dated 5 gals when I was in Pre-U. There's one gal who I love a lotbut never dared to go after. She didnt have a pretty face, or good figure,nor an outstanding charm. She was just a very ordinary gal. I liked her. Ireally liked her. I liked her innocence, her frankness, her intelligenceand her fragility. Reason for not going after her was because I feltsomebody so ordinary like her was not a good match for me. I was alsoafraid that after we were together all the feelings would vanish. I wasalso afraid other's gossip would hurt her.

I felt that if she were my gal, she'd be mine ultimately & I didn't haveto give up everything just for her. The last reason, made her accompanyingme for 3 years. She watched me chase other gals, and I have made her heartcry for 3 years.

She was a good actress and me a demanding director. When I kissed my 2ndgirlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smiled & said, "Goon!" before running off. The next day, her eyes were swollen like awalnut. I didn't want to know what caused her to cry. Later that day, Ireturned from soccer training to get something & watched her cry in theclassroom for an hour or so. My 4th girlfriend didn't like her.

There was once when both of them quarreled. I know that based on her character she'snot the type that will start off the quarrel. But I still sided mygirlfriend. I shouted at her & ignored her feelings and walked off with my

girlfriend. The next day, she was laughing & joking with me like nothinghappened. I know she was hurt but she didn't know deep down inside I washurt too.

When I broke up with my 5th girlfriend, I asked her out. Later that day, Itold her I had something to tell her. I told her about my break up.Coincidentally, she has something to tell me too, about her gettingtogether. I knew who the guy was. His pursuit for her had been the talk ofthe School. I didnt show her my heartache, just smiles & best wishes. OnceI reached home, I couldn't breath. Tears rolled & I broke down. How manytimes have I seen her cry for the man who didnt acknowledge her presence?During graduation, I read a sms in my hp. It said,

"Leaf's departure isbecause of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay"

Wind====

Because I like a gal called leaf. Because she's so dependent on tree so Ihave to be a gust wind. A wind that will blow her away. When I first mether, it was 1 month after I transfer to the new school. I saw a petiteperson looking at my seniors & me playing soccer. During ECA time, shewill always be sitting there. Be it alone or with her friends looking athim. When he talks with gals there's jealousy in her eyes. When he lookedat her, there's a smile in her eyes. Looking at her became my habit. Justlike she likes to look at him.

One day, she didn't appear. I felt something amissed. I can't explain thefeeling except it's a kind of uneasiness. The senior was also not there aswell. I went to their classroom, hid outside and saw my senior scoldingher. Tears were in her eyes while he left. The next day, I saw her at herusual place, looking at him. I walked over and smiled to her. Took out anote & gave to her. She was surprised. She looked at me, smiled & acceptsthe note. The next day, she appeared & passes me a note and left.Leaf's heart is too heavy and wind couldn't blow her away It's not thatleaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to leave tree. Ireplied her note with this statement and slowly she started to talk to me& accept my presents & phone calls. I know that the person she loves isnot me. But I have this perseverance that one day I will make her like me.Within 4 months, I have declared my love for her no less than 20 times.Every time, she will divert away from the topic. But I never give up. If Idecide I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win herover. I can't remember how many times I have declared my love to her.Although I know she will try to divert but I still bear a small ray ofhope.

Hoping that she will agree to be my girlfriend. I didn't hear any replyfrom her over the phone. I asked, "What are you doing? How come you didn'twant to reply?" She said, "I'm nodding my head". "Ah?" I couldn't believemy ears. "I'm nodding my head" She replied loudly. I hang up the phone,quickly changed and took a taxi and rush to her place & press herdoorbell. During the moment when she opens the door, I hugged her tightly.

Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask herto stay ...

Leaf===

People call me Leaf.During the 3 years of Pre-U, I was on very close terms with a guy as buddy

kind. But when he had his 1st girlfriend, I learnt a feeling I nevershould have learnt - Jealousy. Sourness to the extreme limit. They wereonly together for 2 months. When they broke up, I hid my happiness. Butafter a month, he got together with another gal.

I liked him & I know he liked me. But why won't he pursue me? Since heloves me why he didn't he make the first move? Whenever he had a newgirlfriend, my heart would hurt. After some time, I began to suspect thatthis was one sided love. If he didnt like me, why did he treat me so well?It's beyond what you will normally do for a friend. I know his likes, hishabits. But his feelings towards me I can never figure out. You can'texpect me a gal to ask him. Despite that, I still wanted to be by hisside. Care for him, accompany him, and love him. Hoping that one day, hewill come to love me. Because of this, I waited for him. Sometimes, Iwondered if I should continue waiting. The pain, the dilemma accompaniedme for 3 years.

At the end of my 3rd year, a junior pursues me. Everyday he pursues me.He's like the cool & gentle wind, trying to blow off a leaf from a tree.In the end, I realized that I wanted to give this wind a small footing inmy heart. I know the wind will bring the leaf to a better land. Finallyleaf left the tree, but the tree only smiled & didn't ask me to stay.

Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't askher to stay.
