HAVING MUCH MONEY FOR BUYING LOVE (are you sure?)

          “why didja never reply my text?” Adi asked it to me.

          “i was all tied up.” I answered.

          “excuses!” he said. He didn’t believe it. “what’s wrong with you?” he continued.

          “i was all tied up.” I answered with the same answer.

          “naaw, i don’t believe it. Tell me, please!”

          “i just felt sad and disappointed.” I said.

          “why? Whom did you feel sad and disappointed with?” he asked more.

          “i’m wiped. I wanna take a rest.” I answered.

          “but, you still don’t answer my questions dear. Are you angry with me?”

          “gimme a break, Adi.”

          “wouldntcha know it. Ya, i think you are angry to me. I’m really sorry dear.” He said.

          “i gotta go home. I’m outta here. Thank a bunch for all Adi.” I said. Then, i went home.

          “i must be mental. It drives me up the wall.” He said to himself.

***

          Adi is one of my friend. He used to help me. He used to hear me. And give spirit and motivation to me. When i felt sad, i used to tell him and i felt comfortable, happy, had new spirit and motivation. He was perfect for me. Unfortunately, he made me shocked when i texting him. I asked about what he is doing. But..

          “whatcha doing? It’s Saturday night. Don’t you go to special place?”

          “i’m really busy in my Cafe. I’m a cashier now. There are many orders. No time for love but time is money. Having much money for buying love.” He texted me like that. It was on July 23rd, 2011 at 09:45pm. Yap, i still saved his text.  

I couldn’t sleep after i read his text. I was sad because his statement which said “having much money for buying love”. So, it meant he could buy love with his money. I didn’t believe it. Then, i replied.

          “well, i know the people in the whole wide world need money. But, money isn’t everything. You can search many bags of money or more. But you can’t buy love with your money. If the girl likes you because of your money, it’s not the true love. But she just want your money.” I typed what on my mind. Adi phoned me. But, i didn’t answer.

          I didn’t have communication with him for long time. He wasn’t perfect anymore in my eyes. I knew that i owe him one. But he really let me down. This guy was a real nerd for me. I didn’t have to take any shit from him! He was goofing around. Eventhough, i felt disappointed but i missed him. He was too nice too forget and i couldn’t forget his kindness.
