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 lot
but 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. I
really liked her. I liked her innocence, her frankness, her intelligence
and her fragility. Reason for not going after her was because I felt
somebody so ordinary like her was not a good match for me. I was also
afraid that after we were together all the feelings would vanish. I was
also afraid other's gossip would hurt her.

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

She was a good actress and me a demanding director. When I kissed my 2nd
girlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smiled & said, "Go
on!" before running off. The next day, her eyes were swollen like a
walnut. I didn't want to know what caused her to cry. Later that day, I
returned from soccer training to get something & watched her cry in the
classroom 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's
not the type that will start off the quarrel. But I still sided my
girlfriend. I shouted at her & ignored her feelings and walked off with my
girlfriend. The next day, she was laughing & joking with me like nothing
happened. I know she was hurt but she didn't know deep down inside I was
hurt too.

When I broke up with my 5th girlfriend, I asked her out. Later that day, I
told her I had something to tell her. I told her about my break up.
Coincidentally, she has something to tell me too, about her getting
together. I knew who the guy was. His pursuit for her had been the talk of
the School. I didnt show her my heartache, just smiles & best wishes. Once
I reached home, I couldn't breath. Tears rolled & I broke down. How many
times 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 is
because 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 I
have to be a gust wind. A wind that will blow her away. When I first met
her, it was 1 month after I transfer to the new school. I saw a petite
person looking at my seniors & me playing soccer. During ECA time, she
will always be sitting there. Be it alone or with her friends looking at
him. When he talks with gals there's jealousy in her eyes. When he looked
at her, there's a smile in her eyes. Looking at her became my habit. Just
like she likes to look at him.

One day, she didn't appear. I felt something amissed. I can't explain the
feeling except it's a kind of uneasiness. The senior was also not there as
well. I went to their classroom, hid outside and saw my senior scolding
her. Tears were in her eyes while he left. The next day, I saw her at her
usual place, looking at him. I walked over and smiled to her. Took out a
note & gave to her. She was surprised. She looked at me, smiled & accepts
the 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 that
leaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to leave tree. I
replied 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 is
not 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 I
decide I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win her
over. 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 of
hope.

Hoping that she will agree to be my girlfriend. I didn't hear any reply
from her over the phone. I asked, "What are you doing? How come you didn't
want to reply?" She said, "I'm nodding my head". "Ah?" I couldn't believe
my 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 her
doorbell. 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 her
to 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 never
should have learnt - Jealousy. Sourness to the extreme limit. They were
only together for 2 months. When they broke up, I hid my happiness. But
after a month, he got together with another gal.

I liked him & I know he liked me. But why won't he pursue me? Since he
loves me why he didn't he make the first move? Whenever he had a new
girlfriend, my heart would hurt. After some time, I began to suspect that
this 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, his
habits. But his feelings towards me I can never figure out. You can't
expect me a gal to ask him. Despite that, I still wanted to be by his
side. Care for him, accompany him, and love him. Hoping that one day, he
will come to love me. Because of this, I waited for him. Sometimes, I
wondered if I should continue waiting. The pain, the dilemma accompanied
me 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 in
my heart. I know the wind will bring the leaf to a better land. Finally
leaf 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 ask
her to stay.
