Telephone

It has been 5 months, time seems to wait for nobody at all. I and the boyfriend have been together for 5 months now, but we were apart since the 3rd month when he had to move to another state to work.

I have been telling myself I am lucky to have him, when he has a very good quality of a good boyfriend.

However, I wasn't really happy about something he did to me last night.

We were having dinner together with my friends. After the dinner, he got a call from his ex-boss. He was on the phone for 10-15 minutes. Later on, he hung up and I thought that's it. No more, good.

After 5 minutes, the ex-boss called back, then he was on the phone talking, FOR AN HOUR. We were supposed to leave the mall and go home (he drove). Mind you, it was KLCC, an hour walking in the mall to waste the parking fee to talk on the phone which he could do it ANY OTHER TIME for non urgent issues obviously. I didn't overhear the conversation, but the voice my boyfriend talks is always heardable even 10 metres away IN A MALL.

I was like an idiot, walked aimlessly since I can't afford to buy anything from there. Ok, from 83opm-930pm. Finally, he hung up and he didn't realize I was already boiling. I almost dropped my tears inside the mall because I was really angry and upset. I came all the way from Penang to KL but he was on the phone for non-urgent issues.

I kept quiet and didn't look at him until we got home. I cried in the car, he tried to reach my hand and opened my fist then that was the time when I told him, "that's you, force me to do whatever you want me to do, I made myself so available for you, you told me not to sell myself short, now I even sell myself cheap." He was quiet, he probably knew he was wrong to neglect me on the phone for miscellaneous.

Now you tell me, can you accept that? He said that ex-boss is like his parent, he can't hang up. I said I would tell her I am with my friend now and I will call you later. I don't talk on the phone for non-urgent issues when someone is around me, WHOEVER it is on the phone, I won't chit chat like that.

Do you? Justify me if you think I am making a fuss out of this.

Note: This is at least the 3rd-5th time he did that to me when I was around.

I forgave him the night itself, coz I remember what he said to me, "I don't want to spend our time to argue over this." I did my part. What do you think?

OS of the day:

Crying is not because you are weak, it's because you really value something deeply.
