Just one more try

This story takes place in a 7-eleven convenient store.

Girl works at a 7-eleven as a cashier. Guy comes comes every night to accompany Girl through the night. The two of them soon became very good friends and would feel uneasy not seeing the other party for 1 day.

One day:

Guy: Will you be my girlfriend?
Girl:Hmm...If only you catch me 100 soft toys from the machine outside.
Guy:That's easy enough. Just give me one night.
Girl:But, you only can catch 1 per day.
Guy:Anything for you.

So, Guy comes every night, changing for coins with Girl first, then proceeds to challenge the machine. Each night after catching the soft toy of the day, Guy gives it to Girl and leaves the store for the day.

On the 99th day:

Guy: Can I catch 2 soft toys today to make it a 100?
Girl: Nope. Its the rule.
Guy: Please! It wouldn't make much difference.
Girl: No. You have to wait.

Guy feeling disappointed proceeds with his routine of catching the soft toy and leaves after passing the prize to Girl.

On the 100th day, Girl goes to work looking forward to receiving the last soft toy. But, she waited and waited Guy didn't come. Girl was worried and thought that something might have happened to Guy, but she realised after knowing Guy for so long she didn't asked for his number or address.

On the 101th day, a lady came running in.

Lady:Are you Girl?
Girl:Yeah...you are?
Lady:I am Guy's mother. I understand that Guy comes here every night to chat with you, its hard to ignore how much he likes you. Guy is now in the hospital and he doesn't have a lot of time left. I hope you can visit Guy with me.
Girl:...ok...I just give me a minute.

At the hospital:

Guy:You finally came...I am...so...happy...

Guy holding his hand out and passed Girl a coin.

Lady:He has been holding that in his hands since he was admitted yesterday.

Girl was too touched to speak.

Lady:Guy! No...

Guy passed away.

Girl then found out that Guy was diagnosed with a chronic disease and had to be admitted on the 100th day of their agreement. Guy knowing that he might not be able to walk out of the hospital ever again, hoped to at least finish what he started with. But, its all too late. If only Girl had allowed Guy to bend the rules a bit, Guy might not have to die with regrets. There's nothing the could have done now.

This story maybe a bit too drama for your liking, but it does tell you that we might not know what will happen tomorrow. If Girl had cherish their relationship more, then maybe she won't have to bear that terrible guilt.

Someones sincerity can be for eternity, but time doesn't stop.
