Of friendship : in good and bad times...


Silence does not mean that this caller is happy with what's going on in Malaysia. In fact there are so many things waiting to explode and fortunately anger management seems to subdue the unhappiness residing within this lifeform. I will talk about it later...

For now, I should state clearly that I stand by this particular friend who is currently down but definitely not out. The best part is he did not know who is DNightcaller and I will definitely saviour this for a long time to come.

When I know of his predicament this afternoon, I choose to take a step back and observe from a far how he handle the delicate situation. Not because I like it but I think he choose to take the first step his way and I have to respect his wishes. In fact, not many of his inner circle knows what's going on. I did know because of my own inner-inner circle alerted me when this particular friend was caught offguard.

Monitoring from afar, I monitor his progress and once he passed his critical hurdle, I sent him a short and assuring sms. It is time for friends to lend support. You see, this particular friend of mine is timid and this persona non grata choose to invite him for a simple chat in Old Town, pasar seni.

There, all the possibilitieitys are laid out for him to choose as this is not the time for a single person to make his decision. A few cups of coffee and I finally see the smiles coming back as rays of hope and opportunities are spread out. Afterall, this is all the way his Al-Mighty test the faith of His believers. Whilst mine come in the form of health faced by my other half, his comes through his misjudgement of character. Whatever it is, DNightcaller gently remind him that this is the time where he will sort out who are his real friends... and I hope I will be one of them.

Before the millenium, DNightcaller was tested when my other half was hospitalised and the doctor gives an ultimatum "Operate now or she will be gone forever". At that time DNightcaller was literally jobless and practically alone in the city. How critical was it? Well, I can't even get a second opinion from others as my other half is suffering from internal bleeding which must be stop then and there. The operation went smoothly and I was saddled with the hospital request to replenish 5 pints of blood used in the operation. With nowhere to turn to, DNightcaller called his old office...and you know what happen?

Sad to say that those office staffs who were close to me before never cares and not even a word of symphathy. But 5 souls from a different race (I am not being racist here) offers their blood and just request me to bring them to the hospital to donate their blood. Up to this day, nothing will ever repay their kindness to me. That's what friends are for...

Another was 500 km away and upon hearing my predicament makes his long trip back to provide moral support. This particular friend met his maker 2 years back and no matter how much I do, I can never repay his sacrifice to be with me when I was down. That's what friends are for...

Friendship is about giving and taking. Whilst I have my own shortcomings which are plenty, I hope that tonight I brings back hope to this particular friend who is down but definitely not out. I hope tonight, he can sleep well thinking That's what friends are for...

I admit that the past month is quiet for DNightcaller. Yes, I seldom surf the net nor do I post in my blog. And tonight, I realise that Zorro's mum is back in his house. To Z, I pray that his mum will recover well. That's the least I can do for now and hope Z can consider That's what friends are for...

To all, please take some time to reflect who are our friends and have we done enough from our friends because That's what friends are for...

Tomorrow is another day and DNightcaller will travel with his down but not out friend looking for his new pasture. Pray that he will find one, better than his previous one...That's all I ask... and I know it is not too much.


Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
