I guess it is not good to talk behind one's back so I have to express what I felt to a certain person here in mylot. Actually, she is a relative by affinity being a cousin of my husband. I felt pity for her because she could not live in her own house because of her brother who is mentally sick. She has a phobia when it comes to living with his own brother. She has no fixed income and no one to support her financially, morally, and whatever. My sister does not like me to go with this person anymore because of what my sister heard from her own mouth that I have a debt of gratitude from her because I asked for her company. Actually the reason is this. I know that sometimes she could not afford to buy herself a meal, so I sometimes sent text messages to her and treat her for lunch. This has been going on whenever I know that she is just nearby. Then one time, my sister told me that I should refrain from going with this person because she was told by the latter that I owe her gratitude by joining with me sometimes during lunch time. I didn't mind this at all but there were times that I got irritated. During the last time that we had lunch, I had a date with another cousin and I sent a text message to her to join us. When they both came to the office to fetch me she immediately told me that she had another appointment which she left only to find out that I already had a company for lunch. I told her, I just invited her to join us. I was not asking for her company. Though I was irritated, I still brought her with us. After lunch, we had left over and she thanked that we haven't consumed our orders because she got something to bring home but I told her that it's for my daughter. My other cousin brought it to my daughter. My other cousin was also irritated but we didn't let her know how we really felt. Then the next 2 days, I sent text messages to her whenever I had lunch telling her that I remembered her because I ate alone. I just wanted to show her that I can eat alone. If you were in my shoes, would you also do what I did?

You are correct and if I faced this occasion, I'm sure I can't think what I do and my mind will go every where.

I haven't seen her anymore. In fact, she called me because we had a scheduled visit to a friend but I told her that I could not go with her because I have been very busy specially that it is the beginning of the year and I have so much to do. Several reports to make and inventories..
