Story:
"Oh Allah. I ask for your forgiveness for all the sins that I have committed either the big or the small ones, either intentionally or unintentionally. Please forgive me. Please forgive my dearest ones. Please forgive them who teared me apart"
Here I am praying to my God, asking for the same thing over and over again because I knew that no one will ever escape from making mistakes whether it's coincidence or not. Little did I know, my cheeks became wet from the tears that I shed.
I don't know about other people but I've been mentally hurt. Mentally hurt by the people whom I trusted and loved as 'friends'. I knew that I was an introvert and I knew that I was never a 'close friend' to others. But, the years that I've spent with my classmates, I can not lie that a sprout of love grown in my heart towards them. They felt like a family. A second family where we can joke around, fight around, and share the joy and tears.
But, I realise that I've never opened up to them. I'm really shy and most importantly I'm scared that people won't understand once I opened up myself towards them. I'm scared. I also realise that I've never been a 'real part of them'.
One day, I spoke at the wrong time with the wrong people. Some of them started blaming me meanwhile others stayed quiet. And the one who continuously blaming me was a 'big group of bff'. They even declared that we had no friendship, called me dogs and some other 'bad things'. They knew that I was alone. I had no one to back me up, to support me at the time. Later, I stopped talking to them because I felt kinda betrayed. I felt my love for them slowly vanishing. I cried behind my parents' back. There was no one that could share a shoulder for me to cry on.
During these times, we were having a big exam and I was mentally unprepared since the incident happen. But, I vent out towards the Almighty. I asked for His guidance and His forgiveness. I realise that I also made a mistake. However, they should have given advice to me in a 'nicer way'. But NO. Once people find our mistakes, they would turn their backs towards us.
Nowadays, we should learn to actually fix the problem instead of blaming people who was responsible for it. Instead of blaming, teach and give advice to them. We should remember that people can always change, either become worst or be a better version of themselves.
Gladly, I can still breath freely and taste the sweetness and bitterness of this life. I'm now learning how to be alone and how to stand up for myself. With Allah, the Almighty, I'm complete.
