On a pavement next to a university building there was a rugged young man walking with a guitar straped on his back. He always took that route religiously. Meanwhile inside that same university building there was a young woman who was always bored and is seldom interested in her subjects.
One day the woman coincidencially stared at the window overlooking the man with the guitar. After judging his looks, she began to throw coins to gain his attention and she succeeded.
She quietly made a gesture for her teacher not to notice, it was a signal for him to play music for her. The man accepted, picked up the coins and played music with sincerity. Upon hearing the music the girl was initially impressed. She throwed more coins and asked for two more songs.
With the man as a background music, she can now concentrate on the lesson with ease.
Those brief encounters would continue to grow. Aside from coins, they exchanged foods, jokes, music and thoughts despite their distance.
Until one day the man decided to sell his guitar, he used his money for an entrance exam to the university where the woman is. The change was kept as savings and was also used to buy pen and paper. He used the pen and paper to write a message for the woman.
On the following days he called her from the same spot but she did not show up. Assuming she was just sick he continues doing it and then the examination day came.
Blazing with the desire to know what happened to the woman he gave his all. His effort was a success though as he made it even though he is at a very low rank.
But as he start to enter the university as a student, he found out that she already left the univeristy. Then it sinked in that they did not speak of the future. They just enjoyed what was in front of them until it lasted.
The man started his days as if it is his final days. Always in the same bored mood like the young girl before knowing him. One day while spacing out beside the window, his eye caught a glimpse of what's beneath him.
The young woman he aspires to be with was walking on the lane he always took. Unable to shout during lectures he took the advantage from being at the upper level. He threw all the coins he had to make the loudest sound that she has to hear.
As the coins made a sound the woman stopped walking, the man started to wish with all his heart to make the woman look his way. She looked but she was puzzled, unable to recognize the neat looking man he is right now. The man in clean school uniform and without the guitar. The girl tried to remember as she walks looking towards the man.
The man started to get anxious with her reaction, but before it gets the best of him he remembered the letter he wrote for her. He made gestures implying that she should read the letter that he would give her.
The woman suddenly felt familiarity as she felt emphaty with the man who was unable to talk loudly. So she decided to read the letter.
After reading it's contents the young woman began to smile. She started picking up the coins, put it inside a pouch and threw it with all her strength back to the man. Then she shouted with a loud and clear voice her office address and schedule.
Both felt the joy in that moment that the professor noticed the man grabbing a pouch of coins and smiling at the window like a madman. The professor then asked for his attention and after the distraction the woman was gone from his sight.
Later that day the man followed the schedule and address. After waiting for an additional hour the girl finally rushed out from the building doors. Their worries was both erased as both of them smiled at each other. They ate dinner together and started to catch up on a lot of things.
At the end of the day they knew a deeper part of each other's stories, on why the man needed to sell his guitar, his passion and how the woman endured with his help and pursued a career she did not want.
Since then, they meet each other frequently. And when the woman got her salary, she brought the man a new guitar. The boy on the other hand saved some of his allowance in order to buy a painting set, it was the woman's hidden passion: painting.
After both gifts were simultaneously bought, they decided to meet. They were both surprised because despite the fact that it's far from Christmas or any other special day both have heartwarming presents for each other.
They both exchanged and appreciated the gifts. The two went on walking side by side and after a few steps they held each others hands..
