The Fly, Part 2
Today, The Fly reared his ugly head again. I am about to loose it if it's not because of being pacified by Loochoomus. I was driving home from Klang when he called me. He said that he has not seen me for a week (I was in SG) and wondered if I wanna come out for a drink. He was with Loochoomus. I said I am driving - besides, I'll be seeing Anne later, so I'll pass. My friend Daniel who was sitting at the passenger seat was sniggering and said that I should have told him off. He said you don't have to let him know your plans. Oh well..
I'm meeting Anne for dinner later. It was 3pm when he called. I still have some time and I decided to go for a drink with ZipD. I wanted to pass the cigarettes that I bought in the airport to his sister. So, we went to Lum Kee for drinks.
We were happily sharing our Battlefield 2 war story when The Fly and Loochomus came into the coffee shop and hit me on the shoulder...
"I thought you said you are looking for Anne?", The Fly accused.
"Later mah", I defended.
"Is this Anne?", he pointed at ZipD. "When has he changed name to Anne?"
I refuse to comment.
He looked at ZipD and asked if he changed his name to Anne.
Both of us did not response.
I wanted to retaliate by saying "do I have to report my doings to you"? but had second thoughts about it because... because... I don't know how why... perhaps I didn't wanna cause a fight between friends because of small matters like this. Perhaps it is really trivial. Perhaps he's lonely and I have pity for him as I know how it feels to be lonely (or do I? Hmmmm..)
But there's bound to be a threshold.
I hope he'll never cross that line.. and that I will never blow up.
Am I being mean? Am I too good, as Daniel has put it? "Em sai tiu hei ge", he said., when he asked me to tell him off.

Aiyoh! Just tell him your life is different now, and could not spend more time with your existing friends.
ReplyDeleteNot ignoring them, but you have to work harder to pursue a stable relationship. Tell him to be more understanding!
If you don't tell, the more he thinks you try to IGNORE HIM!
