Fate or destiny??

I recently watched an excellent Hong Kong serial drama called To Catch The Uncatchable. Basically it's about a physically weak, but intellectually superior cop making and breaking cases. He meets a girl in the line of duty and after many trials and tribulation, most of which is very very funny, he get's the girl. Kinda formulaic isn't it? But wait, there's more. At the end, near the end actually, the guy got into an accident. A suspect he was chasing hit him over his head with a bottle sending him into coma. He wakes up a litle later so that everyone's happy and decides to get married. Little did he know his doctor told him that there's blood clot in his brain that might kill him anytime. Maybe today, tommorow or never. His family didn't know. During a photoshoot for his wedding photos, he goes to do his duty as a cop...only to die in the end. His family didn't know he died and smiled happy smiles during the photoshoot, waiting for him to come back. Waiting happily to lead a full life. Waiting to go on. They never did......

This is the only serial drama or movie or anything that made me really cry in like 15 years. I was rooting for the cop and his girl. I liked them. To die serving the public and to wait smiling and not knowing he won't be back......saddens me alot in this case. I was thinking that if only jhe didn't chase that thief, his asthma wouldn't attack. If he had been more careful, he wouldn't be attacked from behind. If If IF......Poor girl. She was sooo happy waiting to getting married. Everyone is. The show ends and she didn;t know he's dead. Poor poor girl..........

Was that fate working on them? Was that his destiny? Or her's? Could you fight fate? Would you even want to? Would this be my fate? To meet someone special at last only to lose her without her even knowing it? To die on the eve on your happiest day, without anyone knowing it? Is that fate or is that destiny...........???
