The Man

(Yeah I felt like writin this today, enjoy )

^.^

There lived a man. A man..who, since young, had been conditioned to hate women. No matter how people have tried, he couldn't get rid of this hatred, til...something happened...

He was in a war..and his carrier had been sank by an enemy plane.

He drifted to a nearby island..unconscious and weak..unable to move, in his mind...he knew he would die. However, after he passed out..a lady happened to walk past him, seeing him in such a state, she painstakingly carried him to her home. There, she endured sleepless nights feeding him, clothing him, and tending to his wounds...

A few days later, the man regained consciousness. He saw the lady..asleep and immediately wanted to leave, but he knew that she was the one that had saved his life. For a moment, he hesitated, and the lady awoke to find the man standing at the entrance of her home. They both stared into each others eyes, and the man saw a single tear rolling down her cheek. Realising that he loved her and vice versa, his heart finallly took over and he hugged her and whispered in her ear, "I will stay.."

A few days later..his conditioning suddenly got the better of him. He left the lady and took a boat back to his homeland. The lady, quickly realised he was gone, heartbroken, she set off to search for him.

A few months later, the lady found the man at his home, she knocked and he answered. They both stared at each other...and the man quickly shouted at her, " Get lost! I don't ever want to see you!" The lady broke down and ran away. Realising his mistake, he quickly rushed after her but just then, he heard a loud car crash..

To his horror, the lady had been hit by a speeding car and was lying on the road. Rushing to her, he quickly held her in his arms and said, "I'm sorry! You can't leave me now!"

The lady looked up and asked the man a question,"Do you love me?"

In his heart, he knew the answer, but what came out was a,"No!"

She smiled, kissed his cheek and died.

The man felt a deep emptiness in him, for the first time, he shed tears for the very people he didnt like, and even though he knew he loved her..he said no to her..and towards the end..he realised something...

Something that made him cry like he never did, he fell to his knees and whispered softly into her ear and said,"I didn't even know your name.."
