It's Sunday
The phone rings.
When are you going to pay me back?
He had not expected that question. He gulped when he heard his best friend asked. Why did he keep nagging him?
You know about my circumstances, how hard it is and we are friends and I...
Enough! We had an agreement and only under those conditions did I lend you the money temporarily. Borrowed means you give it back to me and it is beneath me that I even have to ask you for it!
The friend, the eternal lender was furious. Frustration had run high and being cheated by a friend was the last thing he had expected. Idiot his wife had called him but he was sure of the friendship of the one he had known during his childhood. I mean playing marbles together must have been good for something, right?
It was your own choice, you didn't have to do it, you....
A click sounded. The conversation had broken up. He swallowed and thought feverishly about what to do.
An hour later, he had packed his stuff. Five boxes in storage, 2 he would send by post and the rest he had crammed into a backpack and bag, He didn't know what he could count on but one thing was certain. The knife he had plunged into his friend's back under the guise of friendship and which he had plunged a little deeper into his back month after month had reached its deepest point. The friendship was over, he had lost his lender and his life was at stake. Before dusk, the parasite was gone.
The house lay deserted when the deceived friend knocked on the door.
Prompt: sunday payment @freewritehouse

@jiya99 @sbamsoneu @ibesso let's keep it short for a change and relax unless you fall asleep because you are bored. How's the playground @sbamsoneu?
Hola, @hive-169911:
Un anciano de mi pueblo decía, con mucha razón, que los más indicados para engañarnos o burlarse de nosotros son aquellos a los que creemos amigos, por la simple razón de que confiamos en ellos. Este relato tuyo grafica muy bien esta lección. Los que están acostumbrados a faltar a la palabra empeñada suelen comportarse de manera desleal, viven de los favores que otros les prodigan y se esconden en los momentos en que deben rendir cuentas. Es así como lo entiendo… ¿O quizás quieres sugerir otras cosas con las metáforas de los cuchillos?
Un gran saludo…
Hello, @hive-169911:
An old man in my village used to say, quite rightly, that those who are best suited to deceive or mock us are those we believe to be friends, for the simple reason that we trust them. This story of yours illustrates this lesson very well. Those who are accustomed to breaking their word usually behave disloyally, they live on the favors that others lavish on them and hide when they have to be accountable. That is how I understand it... Or maybe you want to suggest other things with the metaphors of the knives?
Best regards...

You read it right and the old man in your village noticed the same. It's a stra ge thing how easily we trust the most disloyal people and keep hoping they will... (change?).
The parasite in this story living on the favoyrs of his friend will for sure find someone else to cheat on and will not be scared for long till he meets someone who will take him to justice.
The bitter thing of situations like these is it's something you bring upon yourself. No is the word and there's no need to explain.
Thank you for reading and keaving a comment.

Oh it seems weird that a friend who is poor if other gave him money he should have asked perhaps he needs too?
What you think about this?
But stabbing into other's back is too evil. Perhaps his way of asking the money back is not good but he can tell him with calmness bro! I will give you back surely but I don't have yet.
Sounds good.
But deceiving to the one who helped you when you need the most is quite furious.
Moreover I like reading you✨🍀❤️

I wonder what you mean by the text above. The last part means you cited it.. did I write this? You should not write in this way because it means you cite someone and because it isn't me you should mention the source if it's someone else.
If it's the text you say you better use " and make it clear you say it or it's a remark of yours.
People who keep asking for money will always manipulate the one who gives in. The higher the need the need and greed the less chance they will ever ask if the friend who gives might need it himself.

You have told the story in which a friend gave money to the other friend and asked him to return the money.
I said that he asked to pay back might he needs money too. It is right that the way of his asking was not good.

I agree, the fact you have to ask is bad and for sure this isn't a friend but parasite
