Friend Z ; Friend S …

Z called. I was really glad to hear from him. We have not met for quite some time. We arranged for a meet up today. Somehow I felt there should be some “hidden” agendas.

We met and erm.. Indeed there was a “hidden” agenda.
虽然，他别有用意，可是
我感觉到他的诚意、
更是了解他的用心、
也明白他的出发点、
晓得他面对的挣扎。

我们还是谈了许久。
最后，让我安慰的还是他感激及负有希望的笑容。

That day, my heart actually sank when S said “sorry to have let u . . . ”
That is not supposed to be the case.

I am not used to people saying sorry to me. And please, not S.

S is one of the most sincere people I have come across. I know the effort demonstrated by S was already the best, although the effect / result might not be the way S wants it.

But it’s okay. That was part of learning.

My mind was rattling wildly. What am I to do? What am I to say to S? I tried anyway.
The only little relief was to hear S finally saying..
”thanks for the encouragement… really appreciate it...”

I know I still have to work harder.

Friends naturally play such an important role in my life. In yours too, I so believe.

Will we take it as our responsibility to brighten the days of our friends? I will. In some occasions, I think I had even made a clown out of myself.

What if our effort is not reciprocated? Oh well, sad I may be, but I wouldn’t want to blame them, for I started off asking nothing in return. It only sets me to work harder, I guess.

What if there is disagreement? I really wish to clarify them. Ha.. It’s just my style perhaps. But I must also learn to respect the different styles of others.

Yes, wishing you well, whoever reading this …
