EUREKA !

       I do have a lots of friends. For me , friends are everything. They are the place where I can share my problems together, hang out together, gossiping or doing our hobbies together. However, to find a true friends is not easy. Maybe they just pretending to be nice in front of us and at the same time, they talk bad behind us. Normally , friends only can be beside us during our glad time and not during our hardship time. That is why not our best friends can be our best friend forever.

     This story was happened to me in my previous semester. My room mates were my best friend. Therefore , we agree to stay in the same room which consists of 6 members.We do not have a problem at all. We always spend time together, sharing problems together, playing games together and sometimes we go for outing together. I feel comfortable with them because we are not only close in the room but also in the class . This make our relationship become more closer.

     When we enter for the next semester, the assignment will be more complicated and sometimes it is hard to complete it on time. Usually , we will get our assignment in the middle of the month. So that , we got so much time to prepared for our assignment before the examinations started. But , I admit that I am the person who love to do the last minute assignment even though there was so much time to completed it. 

     The problem occur when we received our last assignment. The assignment has to do in groups. So , I decided to do with my room mates so that it is easy for us to completed the task. However , they seem like do not care about the assignment until the end of the due date. On the night, I was so excited to do the assignment so I waited for them. But , they keep delaying by giving thousands of reason. I got frustrated and I go to my friends room and tell her about my worries. I was so relieved because she was a good counselor and she give me lots of advices. 

     On the night, my room mates and I had a big fight. I was so confused because how did she know about the unsatisfied thing I have for them. I suspecting my counselor friend has told them. My friends and I face to face to discussed the matter. Suddenly, one of my friends mentioned the name who told them about this. To my horror, it is my counselor friend. At that time, only GOD knows how I felt. On the next day , I sat next to her in the class. Her face expressions was innocent. So, I tell her about the fight last night. She looks so surprised. I want the confirmation either is she the one who told the story to my friend. At first, she was avoiding to answer my question but I keep forcing her until she admit it. She seeks for my forgiveness but on that time I do not feel like to forgive her. 

     Now, as time goes on my anger become lesser and lesser towards her. I am back with my old room mates and I forgive her for her attitude. EUREKA !!! It's her !
