It is not about the money, it is about the friendship

They said that “trust” is a big word and you have to take care of it because once it is gone, you can never bring it back again. When I said "I trust you", it simply means I sincerely do. I am very honest with what I am doing and what I am showing to people. I don’t know how to pretend for as long as I wasn’t the one who did something wrong, I would never talk to you. I am just being myself, this is me, I am me and I don’t need to act like there is nothing wrong even if there is.

It happened four days ago, I couldn’t believe that one of my closest friends who is also my colleague would steal my money. I lost my 500 dirhams or 7,000 pesos in my bag during our last night duty. I puzzled everything that happened on that night so I would know who my suspects are. All our bags are in the cabinet without lock and it’s for everyone. Some of the old staff kept on telling me before not to bring big cash during our duty but I am hardheaded and was bringing for almost one year already.

She’s the only person that knows that I have money in my wallet. I know everything about her because most of my colleagues are telling me to stay away from her. She has a lot of debts, she doesn’t have much friend like I do. I truly like her for the reason that she’s very hardworking, talkative and generous but the problem with her is she’s really fond of borrowing money with big interest.

On that night, I can see that she has a problem with money and our colleague told me that the money she will be sending to her family is not enough already. We finish our break at 3am and my money was still there. Her first attempt was around 4am, she went to the breakroom to take coffee since she feels dizzy. By that time, she has the intention to steal my money but fail to make it because some of our colleagues are still there. Second attempt was 5.30am, she told me that she will get money to the breakroom because she will pay her debt to one of our colleagues in which you give a doubt because she is always carrying her money. I also asked her to put my pouch on my bag so I wouldn’t carry it at all times, but she gave so much inacceptable reason that gives me confusion. And one thing is that the break room is very far from our location.

I don’t want to accuse her since I don’t have proof. But she gave me reason to think that she steal it for she is not talking to me any longer and can't even look at me in the eyes.

Money isn’t important for me, but the friendship that you build together is much more vital.

What would you do if you were in this situation?

Yes, trust is the most important thing. It is really painful to see the one whom we trust more break it without even bothering how good we are to them. They just reveal their real color and prove that they care for none. Stay strong and don't ever believe her again.

Absolutely, and it's already confirmed. I have learned a lot that you should not give your full trust to anyone. Now friendship is over.

Your happiness is dependent on your social standing more than your economic one. Good one, sis!

Friendship is priceless as we says it, but people nowadays can buy friendship and sometimes friendship will leave you because of money.

People who are close to you are the ones who are capable to break your heart the most.

Exactly. You care about how they feel but they aren't doing the same.

In same situation few weeks ago. I thanked God I moved on with toxic people. Haha

I would talk to her. If she admits it and say sorry, I'll probably forgive her but ofcourse the trust is already tainted. I dont know if I can ever trust her again.

I would do the same sis if ever she will admit and talk to me but the sad part is she's not talking to me anymore. It just shows that she is guilty of what she did.

i guess she really is. she could've asked in a nice way if she really needs the money

What the! If she will be sorry I know you can accept that but trust can't bring back the old times.

I was actually waiting for her to do that sis. I would accept her sorry cause I know the why she kept on doing these kind of things. Yes, trust is the issue here.

Oh, my!! So sorry for your money loss! I'm kind of in a situation like this with the mother-in-law except not for that much money!! All, I do is pray for them and move on. With friends like that, who needs enemies!!

I have moved already bro since the day I knew that she was the person who steal my money. Money isnt important for me because I can still work for it. Maybe for her it isnt. Hate that kind of person.
