How can a sweet friendship turn to sour within seconds? What they say is true, when the eye of a sword is sharp and fatal, the eye of a pen is much sharper, more fatal and indisputably destructive. A sword may leave you bleeding bur words written by a pen cut you soooo deeply and brutally and the scar left behind is so visible and no cosmetic surgery will be able to cover it. Furthermore, it usually costs u someone dear to you...
Eventhough we have known each other for about 5 years, I knew all along that we dont really know each other very well. We used to be very very close where almost every night and day we would contact one another. Still, we only managed to know the outside and very little of the inside. But what we knew was already enough for us to have a respectable friendship. We always made it a point that whenever I went to KL, we would try to dine together, sometimes bowl with other friends The same routine when he came to my place. Sometimes we chatted online which we didnt do very often because he was always in his busy mode.
It was one of those days when I went online and he was there too - still in his busy mode. But he said hi first and we chatted warmly. He apologised for not contacting me when I was in KL a few days before. He thought I was already left the city. We then set a date for our dinner for I would be going down to KL during xmas break. He was nice enough to let me pick the restaurant. The date was set and I couldnt wait for it. The next day I saw him online again. It was somewhere around 8pm I think. After office hour. I wanted to ask him about this one particular girl who was our mutual friend on FB and about a movie that he watched the previous night. I did and that proved to be the biggest mistake! He got pissed off in the mid of the conversation. I wasnt quite sure why. He said that I was wasting his time and shut me up by logging off! I was flabbergasted! He had never ill-treated me before. I was perplexed.. baffled.. utterly confused! What was wrong with the question? Or could it be the way I asked him? But even if he thought that I was wasting his time, he could just say that he had to go. No need to be rude to me!!! He was rude alright! I dont deserve to be treated that way!
So, that was the last time we heard of each other. The dinner did not happen. I always see him online and he sees me. But that is all. I lost him just like that! Just like that..... I'm sad... I wish I could turn back the clock... But that is impossible, I know... We are both egoistic people. I believe he is waiting for me to make the first move and apologise as I am waiting for him to do the same. When will this end? How do we resume the abandoned friendship? This is very sad...
