I am Sorry Lita

On Saturday 25^th July, it was a cloudy day and drizzle was falling down to the earth. I felt happy in that day because I would gather with my friend. We would come together to watch movie. I though it became cheer up day because long time I didn’t see her but actually that day was a day when my friendship was broken.

It was 02.00 pm, I prepared my self to go to the venue. Actually I would come together with LIta, my best friend but my sister asked me to come earlier because I must operate the computer.  So I went there alone. In the venue, there were a lot of people who wanted to watch movie. This event was began in order to keep friendship.

  I sat down beside my other friends. Lita sat down behind in the corner of the room. I wanted to make conversation with Lita, but I couldn’t see her well. When I looked at her and she looked at me, I immediately made conversation with her without though clearly. I asked

“Lita, please return my mother’s veil!”

“This veil?” she said.

"Yes, of course” I answered.

After I answered her question, she didn’t say anything. It was 05.00 pm and the event almost finished. Before it was finished I made conversation with Lita again, but she didn’t response my question. I didn’t know what’s wrong.

“Was something happen?” I said in my mind.

After the event finished, we all came home. I asked Lita again to come back together with me but she didn’t response again so I came back alone. I still confused with her attitude. It looked very different from the usual.

At home, I looked for my hand phone. There was a message, I read it. I was shocked. It was a message from Lita, my best friend. She was angry because I asked to return my mother’s veil in front of other people.

“Now, I know the reason”. I thought in my mind.

Actually, she was embarrassed and my statement was very disgraceful for her. In yet, my word just a joke. I didn’t know if it hurt her.

I was confused. I scared to say sorry to her directly. She was my best friend. I scared if she didn’t want to forgive me. I tried to replay her message, but she didn’t answer it. I was sent many messages to her, to say sorry to her, but she still didn’t response it. I still didn’t have courage to meet her.

After a week, I tried to be brave. I must apologize to her directly. I felt guilty. I’ve got to meet her sooner.

I went to her house. I felt shame with her, but I must say sorry to Lita. I knocked the door, she opened it but she still kept silent. I immediately hugged her. I kept apologize while I was crying. For a few minutes, Lita just kept silent and didn’t do anything. I still continued saying sorry and cried. Finally she let my hug. She stared my eyes and asked me

“Please, stop crying! If you don’t stop, I will not forgive you!”

I tried to be silent.

“I didn’t know what your reason. Why you said like that a week ago? I felt painful hearing it”. She continued her words.

“I’m sorry Lita, I didn’t mean to hurt you, please forgive me!” I said.

“Okay, as we know that we were close friend since we were children, I don’t want to hate you, but it is difficult to forgive you. I tried to forget your word. I always try to delete it from my mind. I’m still confused. Do you want to embarrass me?” asked her.

“No Lita, it was just kidding” I said.

“It wasn’t joke for me. It hurt me and made me shame. Everyone looked at me that moment”.

“Sorry Lita, please forgive me. We can’t break our friendship. We must keep our friendship. Please Lita, forget it and forgive me and let us start our new world”. I said.

After a few minutes, Lita suddenly cried and hugged me. Actually she didn’t want to avoid me. She was my best friend. She still wanted to be my best friend. We couldn’t be separated. Then, we remembered our togetherness in previous time. Finally she said that she forgave me. I was very happy. I was hugged her again.
