Those story reminds me about my junior high school phase several years ago. I’ve ever been adored  by a boy named Ega, he has a best friend named Lia. Undeniably, Lia was Ega’s ex. By the time goes on, Ega treated me very well so that I was fell in love with him also. Known that thing, Lia got little bit jealous on me.  I didn’t knew nothing at all, if it was about heart conflict, I think no one can be blamed right?

In another side, I has a best friend named Abie, Abie is also Ega’s bestfriend. Three of us are in the same school when we were in elementary School. Abie also adored me since we were in elementary school. I knew it long time ago, he gave me a lot of thing and I still remember special gift from him when I had my 13^th birthday, he asked his mom to bought me a really beautiful Barbie and gave it to me. He was so kind to me, even his family. But still, I dedicated my feeling to Ega, till someday I knew Lia was so angry to me, she really broken and even she cried, I knew it from Ega directly and her posture to me really phlegmatic. I don’t care, I was so selfish at that time, till Lia asked for me apologize but I don’t give any respond to her. I’m just felt so hurt, her demeanors were so impolite to me, she mocked me in front of her friends and teased me through social networking.
 

One day I realize that I’ve ignored her so far, I’ve made her jealous and got her heart in a painful. Finally my mom told me that friendship is more than anything. Don’t ever broke the friendship just because love and ego. Abie knew that Ega had a feeling for me, but Ega didn’t knew if Abie loved me. Ega asked Abie to helped him to clarified his feeling to me. That night came, Ega met me and told me about his feeling. But I knew all the things happened, so I ignored him and decided to keep our friendship. It’s hurted when I should did the thing I won’t did. But if I followed my ego, I’ll hurt my person. Especially Lia and Abie.
 

Those experiences thought me a lot about how to be sincere, how to handled our egoism.  To realized that FRIENDSHIP is about Sacrifice, Love, Laugh, Tears, Madness and everything that makes it worth :)

nb: I don't use my best friends real name.
