MISUNDERSTANDING and a Broken Friendship

Tweet

It’s all started during the batch reunion to the school grand alumni homecoming. A situation of two friends but relationship went sour and finally broken. Person #1 and #2 were considered the leader of our group during this event. The excitements were all there for the activity because it’s been long years already where most of us did not see each other after graduating high school. Our participation for the event was successful because ours leaders have gathered the most number of participants for our batch. The last event was kind of a test for our leaders. There were issues arisen and arguments started. We want to patch things up and we want the unity within the group remain intact because it’s normal to have disagreement sometimes. First, it was unknown to us that there’s brewing misunderstanding between person #1 and #2. Person #2 is a kind of person who is very insistent of her ideas oftentimes disregarding the idea of others which person #1 reminded her that we should not bypass the authority of the officers of the whole batch of our year. Most of us agreed the suggestion of person #1 because we believed that we should applied the rule of courtesy. We think there’s nothing offensive regarding the suggestion but we all guessed that it did not suits well to the taste of person #2 because we begin to heard unpleasant words from her. She even owned the effort and counting them all saying that if it wouldn’t have been for her blah…… The worst is person #2 still keeps on talking behind that back of person #1 to other people she gained sympathy with unpleasant words very personal in nature, including the members of family of person #1. This is the situation of these two individuals considered friends but turned out enemy now. We still hope that everything would be OK between the two of them. But the question is who would humble first? Other members of the group who’s neutral about the issue tried to convince them to restore the friendship, forget what had happened, and move on.
