I watched this movie called 'the notebook' on the flight from Delhi to Singapore. The story starts with an old man reading a book to an old lady, who got parkinson's symptom and lost her memories. The book is about a young couple who fell in love in their 17th but due to the background gap they were forced to breakup but the love still remains strong. Then they met again when girl's about to get married and the guy accomplished his dream of reconstructing the manor. Their love came back again and finally their story went on and on. However, the lady got old and eventually lost her memories, even couldn't recognize her children and grandchildren, the guy decided to do something to save his love and her memories- by reading her notebook for her everyday. Sometimes she finally woke up and recognized her life long husband, but 5 mins later she started to scream to this stranger and pushed him away. Nevertheless, the guy still keeps the faith that she'll come back to him again one day. It did happen at one dark night, and their love also took both of them away to an eternal land.

This is a stereotype romantic movie, but my tears still poured uncontrollably. When you have faith to true love, you can do everything to make it happen and keep it. While the pathetic thing is, not many peolpe believe in true love any more nowadays. When you were 17th, did you know the girl you chased and loved (no matter it's real or impulsive) is the right girl to you? If you had no idea of it, why did you still think you love her and want to do anything to keep her? Did you really know who's right to you? I don't think any of us can give positive answer to these questions. However, most of us remember the love we had in our 17th, and it still tastes sweet when we think of it. It's not becuz we met the right person, it's becuz we had faith to love.

Every couple fights and sometimes sees the other half as a pain in the ass. But does that mean they're not right to each other and have to breakup? The movie got an impressive answer, that no matter how much a couple fights and how much they don't see each other perfect, love is still there and for the sake of it the couple will look after each other for the rest of life. I love you, so no matter how many wrinkles you'll have when you get old or how ugly you'll turn to, I will still guard you with my whole life. I love you, so no matter how poor you're and how sick you get, I will still take care of you until the last minute. I love you, so no matter how far you'd like to go and how terrible the place you settle at, I will still go with you to the end of the earth. This is the faith to love.

I still believe in it deeply. But my tears tell the sighs I feel to this reality.

-To a guy who doesn't know a girl has given him all of her heart since their first meet.
