So guys, I have been mulling over some things and events that I heard that has been happening over time and sometimes I just wonder how bad can people be or how far can people pretend.
How mean can someone whom you call a friend be before you can decide to say that they are no longer a part of your life or decide to keep them at arms length? Human beings can be a lot to deal with but I keep wondering at how people are so wicked and yet they claim to be a friend.
I went to visit my brother at his fashion house and met him that night still working away on the sewing machine. I asked when he would be leaving and he said he doesn’t know as he has a deadline to meet up with that night for a cloth that would be waybilled to the East the next day.
It was a wedding suit of one of his clients who lives abroad. When I inquired as to why the owner of the clothes that is the supposed groom will wait till so late to sew his wedding suit, that was when he started telling me the story.
He was not showing the clothes of the groom but that of the grooms best man. He said that the grooms suit has been ready since one month ago. So here’s the story. The groom who lives abroad was getting ready to get married and sent some money to his friend or someone he called his friend probably best friend who lives in the country.
For him to send money to this guy that means they are really close and he sees him as a friend and this same guy was supposed to be his best man. You won’t possibly make a stranger you best man right?
So he sent some money to this friend who was supposed to also be his best man in his wedding to help him get some stuffs ready for the wedding since he was outside the country and the guy squandered the money and didn’t use it for any of the stuff the guy asked him to get.
When the groom got to know about it, he still forgave his friend and told him to not worry about the money but that he is going to be his best man therefore he sent money for them to get a suit material for the two of them.
Obviously the money wasn’t sent through him this time around but rather through his sister. So he asked the guy to go to the tailor so that he would take his measurements and start sewing their suits for the wedding and he agreed.
The time was going and the tailor who is my brother has been calling the so called best man to either send his measurements or come and take his measurements all to no avail. He kept saying he would come or that he would send it still nothing.
As at the time he was telling me the story, it was three days to the wedding and he said he even called the guy that morning and he said he was going to a tailors shop nearby to take the measurements and send to him yet till 8pm that same day nothing was heard from him and when they called him, he stopped taking their calls.
The groom had to beg my brother to use his measurements and sew another emergency suit so that when he gets to the village, he would just look for a random guy and beg him to be his best man.
My question is, how wicked can people be. To what extent can people be so heartless? How can you treat your own friend that badly? Is that guy even his friend. I feel he has an enemy in the name of a friend. Why don’t you just tell the guy that you are not going to be his best man than to pretend to want to when you have so much ulterior motive.
When I heard this story, I felt so bad that I couldn’t help but wonder how people can so pretend to be friends with you when they are actually the enemy. It’s so heartbreaking.
Now there’s another irony to this story, as I was writing this, I decided to call my younger brother to ask him how the issue between him and the wedding guy went and he was just lamenting to me that the guy has not paid him the money for the service he rendered to him.
Now he was begging and pleading with him to help him sew the cloths on an emergency basis that he was goin to pay him. Ordinarily my brother doesn’t give out clothes to the clients without full payment but his time around he decided to because he wanted to help the guy because of the disappointment from the so called friend.
After sewing the clothes for him, he has decided not to pay back. It’s been two weeks since the guy has finished his wedding and my brother said he sent him a message with the account details for his payment and the guy had ignored his message till date.
How do you judge this kind of thing? How does someone goodness turn to be bad or how does people use bad to reward goodness? I still don’t understand the wickedness of the heart of men.
