Don't forget the road that would take you home, it is very important

in BDCommunity4 months ago

In life, a lot of people easily forget the people that were there for them when they needed someone to learn on to, I mostly heard cases where people argued and a party would talked about how he helped the other, and now, he is shield but could not remember him as the person who where there for him. It happens to me, and since that day, I do not know if to be happy for helping my friend or wether I took a wrong lane by showing up for him.

I am talking about a friend I have known since college days, he called me that day, requesting that he needed some money, because at the moment his landlord was at his neck, so he doesn't want to be packed out since he love the apartment and he doesn't want to go through the stressed of finding another apartment, which I know that was going to make him incurred a lot of spending, because it is not easy now to pay an agent who would show you to difference houses and also the cost of transportation currently is not something we should try unless it is am important occasion we are to attend.

Honestly, I didn't had so much money on me, but he is someone who was good to me, so I didn't say no to him, I told him how much I can give to him, which he promised to pay back once his place of work paid him salary.

Yet, it is been long this happened, it is over some months now and I didn't bother about it, if at all, he was living closer to me, I would have go to his house and told him that I needed the money but he is staying in a far place, what goes on was that, when I called him, he was refusing to answer my calls, I do not know him as such a person, so it was unbelievable to me that he could refused my calls, even if, he doesn't want to pay back or he does not have the money to pay back at that time, I would have been so much happier if he answered my calls and explained things to me, but he didn't do anything than to keep refusing to answered.

I have to take my mind off the borrowed fund and I was okay by so doing, then two days ago, I saw a strange number calling me, when I answered, it was that friend of mine who refused my calls because he didn't refund my money, it surprised me so much because he was still asking of money, and his words this time were, "I shouldn't worry that he would pay me back with the previous money he borrowed from me, some months ago". I didn't had any spare cash with me, and even if i had, I wouldn't have given it to him, because he doesn't earned my trust anymore, and he has already make me to understand that he can start a fight with me, because of money which is something I do not want in my life.

Thinking about how he behave, for not been straight forward with me, but always calling when he needs money, it makes me to understand something and that's, I shouldn't expect the good I did for people, but I should count it within myself and pray for someone else to come out for me in the times of needs, thereafter, I also learnt that, it's not good to forget who helped you, because you might needs help some other times.

Sort:  

Is very annoying and disappointing when people don't keep to their word.
And when people take the wrong action to things.

Your friend didn't do well, and now he has created an unpleasant relationship with you.

We keep hoping and praying for good people.

Hope you won't shut your door entirely even for others because of the unpleasant experience?

Thank you for asking @jmis101 i will not shut doors, it just that it hurt, that someone i value do not value what we have, I love all my friends and I believed that they're not going to do what he did.

That's great and relieving to know.

Keep being an amazing friend😊
