Good thoughts create peace and bad
thoughts result in mental tension, with no peace.

Last Sunday, I attended a friend’s house
warming pot luck sort of small gathering for ex-MCB. It’s been quite a while
since we last met. A lot of stories need to be updated. A lot of gossips need
to be catch up. I personally enjoyed seeing them. You could hardly come to
‘moment of silence’ with them. Laugh, laugh and laugh. We were laughing at the
fool that we went together or the fool that others (refer to our former bosses)
made which became our laughing stock. Each of us cherished our old times in
Kundang.
As the stories exchanged, I heard
something unpleasant to my ears. As the project completed, most of us followed
different path. Although everyone seems move on to other place and carry on
with the own life, but some still caught in the old memories. To my huge
disbelief, ‘you-know-who’ still pour salt to the almost forgotten (but somehow
it still glue to my mind) wound. It was rather amusing to find out that she couldn't really get over me. She accused me of trying to steal her ex-boyfriend
(by the time, they had long broken apart). He was my colleague back then. I
might have a little crush on him since I adored his working etiquette so much.
But, that’s it. In remembering him, there was one day he tried to match-make me
with his eldest brother. I received an envelope contained a black and white
paper printed photograph of his brother. That was hilarious. I just laughed at
his childish and replied him, ‘I won’t be your sister in law. Couldn't imagine
myself to share your mother attention with your girlfriend (‘you-know-who’ was
his girlfriend by that time)’. But that is not my point here. After more than a
year since she posted her offensive post about my dear fellow friends and I. I
wish, I really pray hard that one day she could stop bad-mouthing others. Guess
what? She still tries spreading bad-rumours about me, saying the untruth
stories to Manjung colleagues. My only hope that those happened to be friend
with me before I left Manjung, should be able to make their own judgement.
I am trying my very best to forget and
forgive her wrong. I'm still struggling till today. Regardless she never seeks
for my forgiveness herself, but I have to forgive her. I myself had my own wrong.
I have been wronged to others too. Whether I did it intentionally or unintentionally
only Allah knows. As much I wish those people who I have been wronged to,
forgive and forget mine, I really want to believe that ‘you-know-who’, deep
down inside her heart, she want me to forgive and forget hers too. Therefore,
remain positive toward others. Viele Gut!
