B for Betrayal

Ever been betrayed? Not like the “ Oh my friend “bullshitted” behind my back betrayal, or someone slipped out a secret of mine. Naa am talking about the real deal. The one where you can actually feel the brutal stabbing of the knife cutting through your flesh. Yes, that’s the kind of betrayal am talking about, the one you never see coming. I’m talking about the betrayal of someone close to you, someone you trust more than yourself, or atleast you thought you did. Am sure you know what am talking about.

When I was a teenager back in high school that is, I thought that friends who talk behind your back are plain cruel. Life was so simple back then ofcourse. I never thought that those girls who once gossiped are now angels considering what I hear and witness everyday. You see, you think you know someone, you think you can trust someone, until you, the idiot, come to face the vicious reality. In that second, blood rushes through your system so rapidly, you think your head is going to explode, and you cant help but curse yourself for being so STUPID! “ How could I have been so blind, so ignorant, so GOD DAMN STUPID!”

Yesterday, I ran into a so called friend when I was leaving the movie theatre. Someone me and my friends call the “ Midget”. Mean, I know, but who cares. This alleged friend of mine was actually a close friend, or so I thought so. What this midget did is not important, what’s important is that me, the idiot, didn’t do anything about it, hence reaching my point “ What could I have done?”

So really, what do you do when your in a situation like this. Many think walking away is the best way to go, that you shouldn’t waste your breathe on a lost cause. Just like McDreamy, he calmly left the room when he walked in on Addison and McSteamy doing the deed. Others would actually go overboard. For instance, women who turn into ruthless murderers lol; one stab in the heart, and your good to go. I, after cursing myself so many times and finally learning my lesson, choose confrontation, and boy have I mastered it!

Lucky for me, I was given another do-over. I once again felt that pain after being stabbed in the back by someone very close to me. But this time, I actually took action. Little Miss Vixen over here, took matters in her own hands, and confronted her so called friend. Of course the key here was to deal with it with class and elegance. Just because people turn out to be bitches and bastards doesn’t mean you have to descend to their level. With grace, I calmly and confidently talked about the matter, and obviously a backstabber would deny the whole thing, and that’s when you simply hang up or walk away. It just leaves them speechless.

In another situation, which I sadly can’t reveal its details, confrontation only did not quite satisfy me. I was once again betrayed by 2 very close people to me. Because it hurt like hell this time, talking about it and walking away was not enough punishment. So what did I do? I did the complete opposite. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. I faked forgiveness and planted a smile on my face. Days passed until my ultimate plan commenced. Ofcourse the details here cant be revealed either, but you should know their very tight bond was finally broken by the ultimate power of karma, and it was only then that I walked out on them.

So yeah, where was I again? Right, Betrayal. So my fellow readers, wanna know what feels worse than betrayal? Not seeking revenge, Because MAN IT TASTES GOOD!
