Flower and Wind

Once, there was a woman, standing on top of a hill every day. She had a beautiful white flower she picked daily on her way there through the valley.

On a windy evening, the flower she held blown away by a strong wind. Luckily, a man grabbed it and returned it to her.

He confessed that he liked her. She liked the man too. Since that day, they enjoyed the view together.

Days passed, and the man had to go as he spoke his cries to the woman. The woman gave him the flower and told him to take it as a gift. A gift that would suffice his longing when they're apart.

The man had nothing to give. So, he told the woman,"Stand still and feel the wind blowing. That means I'm missing you from afar."
and they bid farewell.

Months passed, the man came back. The woman, however, had married with another. She told her, the wind stopped blowing somehow and afraid he wouldn't miss her anymore. She was unsure, but she had to make choices.

The man was sad, leaving as soon as he gave her back the flower that had wilted and turned gray.
