A call from an unexpected caller! It has been a long time since she called. We only spoke a few lines before her voice started to tremble. It was as if I could see her facial expression there and then when I heard her weakened voice through the other end. She broke into tears and I could not understand what she was saying anymore. Not with her muffled voice and the not-so-silent background. It was as if someone had placed a piece of cloth over her mouth while she tried to speak.She dropped the line, promising to call back later.

No, No one was kidnapped! It was a call from my good friend. Someone whom I havent been meeting up with, Someone whom I haven talk to for a while and she is safe. If it was a call to check on my well-being, how I have been doing recently, I couldn't tell it at all. It was her troubled voice. Something which I havent heard in a long time.

When she finally called back, her voice was clear, no longer as muffled as earlier on. Safely back at her house, she then proceed to tell me what has happened. It was an issue on relationships.

So this was what happened.. Being the nonchalent me, appears even more so when dealing with BGR. Not knowing how to console and comfort her, attended to the issue for awhile before brushing it off like dust fallen on my shoulder. I could've been more encouraging, considering that I'm one of the first few person she always think of when she's in need. I didn't know what else to do, other than to lend her a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on.

However, I've not been updated of the early events, leading to this predicament due to breakdown in communication between me and her. I'm far behind when it comes to updates about her and I can say the same about her. I'd love to blame all this on her if I could, that she's not spending any time on me for her busy schedule. But deep inside, I know I'm responsible in a way too. Deep Deep inside...(We all know communication is 2way, unlike communicate). We had a short chat, catching up with each other before we put the phone down.

Aren't we all like this? You waiting for me to call you and me waiting for you to call me, before we all drifted apart? This aint free incoming call advertisement. Had you spend enough time on your once closest friend, he/she wouldn't have drifted apart and leave eventually. I'm really affected about this. Friends should always save time aside, to maintain their relationships. No matter how close you and your BFFE(Best Friend Forever Ever) are, you should always spend time together once in awhile sustain the relationship. Few relationships can stand the test of time without proper communication. We shall not assume ours can.

If your friendship is breaking down because either one of you are not willing to give in, or cos you think your other half is being too calculative. Think again, arnt you acting the same way?How much can a sms cost you? If you are acting this way yourself , you have no right to judge or comment on others. Instead of asking people to give, ask yourself what can you give? If you can't do it, do not expect others to do it.

I was once often troubled by the issue of friendships. And throughout my blog, It is likely you'll see the issue on friendship coming on and off once in awhile. We need to learn how to communicate with others in this century. Too many friends and Zero friend can be as much problems. We shall learn more hopefully in the future posts. As the saying goes,
