Because not everything in life comes with a warranty…

It is despicable how some people think they possess the powers to set anything right. Looking back at my own experience, I realize that some how I am to blame. I might actually have given the impression that I can forgive anything this person does, next thing I know she takes me for granted and I start running the viscous circles of being used and loving it. Some how, for what I thought are all the right reasons, I gave her a status in my life that she proved not to be worthy of.

And even after her stronghold, which was my own heart, crumpled after seven years of devotion, and despite of the scars that were left by the brutal demolition of everything that one day meant something, I didn’t sever the ties completely; all I said is that I need time after which we will resume our relationship as friends. She is the one who severed the ties and took measures towards it. And I had to live with that just like I had to live with her choices and unfairness and endure them no matter how painful and iniquitous they were.

Weeks ago, I was contacted by a common friend to ask whether she can give my number to her or not. She said that she missed the friends we used to be. I thought to myself why not? It has been almost a year and perhaps it is just about time. I was going to be deceived again under the false pretences of friendship but still I asked for some time before I can give my answer and then things just started to unveil, I’ve always known that things went bad for a reason, I’ve been looking for answers since then, little did I know that the reason was her infidelity...and that the answers will come knocking on my door!!!

She vended me cheap on all levels, I offered earnestness and she reciprocated with treachery, I offered fidelity and she reciprocated with betrayal and disloyalty, I offered friendship and she responded by back stabbing, she massacred my soul and watched my dying heart lose life in excruciating pain while I swept my own blood down the drains.

And now she wants to talk!!!

I am sorry but …

Not everything in life comes with a warranty.

UPDATE
When her endeavor to re-communicate failed, she went around my friends making all kind of claims that I used her!!! Who, the hell, used who? Who exploited the other? Who traded in his partner’s life and well being for a cheap lust?

Sand storms in the Saudi deserts….

I travelled to Saudi Arabia for the inauguration of our new subsidiary there; we have been working out every little detail for months now. We all were looking forward to the big day just to get rid of the nerves breaking pressure from the Japanese management. I spend 5 days there in which I used to leave the hotel at 6 AM and come back around 12 AM next day. We were short in hands and we even had to do some labor work using our own skills.

In the big day everything was set like a Swiss clock but nature had another plan to welcome us in the Saudi deserts. And what can be a better and warmer welcome than a Sand Storm, in the most inconvenient of all times, in the forth day of the five days, nature chooses to blow up some steam.

The inauguration tent was almost blown down and we had to cut the ceremony short and move to the lunch tent which had to be perforated to allow wind, and of course sand, to go through without tearing the whole structure down.

In ten years time I hope to meet someone who’ve got a job there and I’ll be more than satisfied knowing that at least a long exhausting day of my life in which, as usual, I had to do the work of all four members of my team, did not go in vain.
