It's Sunday

The phone rings.

When are you going to pay me back?

He had not expected that question. He gulped when he heard his best friend asked. Why did he keep nagging him?

You know about my circumstances, how hard it is and we are friends and I...

Enough! We had an agreement and only under those conditions did I lend you the money temporarily. Borrowed means you give it back to me and it is beneath me that I even have to ask you for it!

The friend, the eternal lender was furious. Frustration had run high and being cheated by a friend was the last thing he had expected. Idiot his wife had called him but he was sure of the friendship of the one he had known during his childhood. I mean playing marbles together must have been good for something, right?

It was your own choice, you didn't have to do it, you....

A click sounded. The conversation had broken up. He swallowed and thought feverishly about what to do.
An hour later, he had packed his stuff. Five boxes in storage, 2 he would send by post and the rest he had crammed into a backpack and bag, He didn't know what he could count on but one thing was certain. The knife he had plunged into his friend's back under the guise of friendship and which he had plunged a little deeper into his back month after month had reached its deepest point. The friendship was over, he had lost his lender and his life was at stake. Before dusk, the parasite was gone.

The house lay deserted when the deceived friend knocked on the door.

Oh it seems weird that a friend who is poor if other gave him money he should have asked perhaps he needs too?
What you think about this?
But stabbing into other's back is too evil. Perhaps his way of asking the money back is not good but he can tell him with calmness bro! I will give you back surely but I don't have yet.
Sounds good.
But deceiving to the one who helped you when you need the most is quite furious.

If he was not a good friend he didn't lend his money to him. We should think about giving someone's money back before they asked. Not everyone is that rich to ignore the amount. Perhaps he needs the most at that time.
On the other hand we can say that he shouldn't asked money by insulating him.

Moreover I like reading you✨🍀❤️

I wonder what you mean by the text above. The last part means you cited it.. did I write this? You should not write in this way because it means you cite someone and because it isn't me you should mention the source if it's someone else.

If it's the text you say you better use " and make it clear you say it or it's a remark of yours.

People who keep asking for money will always manipulate the one who gives in. The higher the need the need and greed the less chance they will ever ask if the friend who gives might need it himself.

You have told the story in which a friend gave money to the other friend and asked him to return the money.
I said that he asked to pay back might he needs money too. It is right that the way of his asking was not good.

I agree, the fact you have to ask is bad and for sure this isn't a friend but parasite
