Crossroads

Chapter 3

Finally! We chosed to take bigger steps forward…  we got along together and it was fine. We became attached until an impulsive act happened…

And in just a few minutes,  few hurting words and an irrational decision,  the love and friendship we’ve built was shattered.  We haven’t talked for a long time.  We're both hurt but I admit that I was a bit responsible for such wrong decision and I was a coward to ask forgivenes because I was protecting myself.  I’ve learned from that and I realized it is the right time to patch things up.  A long silence took place before we could talk & when we did, I couldn’t help but smile.  A smile brought about by happiness & regrets. Regrets that if only I've done something about that incidence. But then I knew I have to accept the fact that what had happened was really hard to forget.  So we decided to just try to forget it & bring back what we had before as much as we could. But with what I had with her despite all that major offenses, I don’t know but I did not feel even a bit of gap after we talked.  Actually, I felt we treated each other as if nothing happened.  I guess the foundation of our friendship was built strongly that nothing on earth could ever destroy and grows even stronger with the help of that situation.  And what's more unbelievable was that I neither thought of any move to make her forgive me nor even tried to ask if she had already forgiven me which should have been bothering me from the very first minute after our conversation.

I haven’t heard yet from her that I was already forgiven,  but action speaks louder than words as they say and I’ve seen it through the little things she has done.  And I told myself that I would do the best I could to protect and never loose the friendship again.
