As we all know, Ramadhan means you have to manage your emotion, including your anger.
Yet, since breaking my fasting this evening, there had been 2 stuff that drove me mad.
The first one, I dealt with it by phone. The second one, on the net.
Both are repetition. That’s why I got very angry about them. They could actually have been prevented. Both persons could have done them right. Yet, they just didn’t. Out of ignorance.
According to a friend to whom I talked about it earlier, what happened was simply a test for me in this holy month. Have I been able to manage my emotion?
I don’t think I was 100% failed the test. I did state my concern over the problem. Yet, I did it quite politely.

Man: I used to have a crush on you.
Woman: Why didn’t you say so?
Man: Because, I had a crush on you.
Woman: I did, too.
Man: Why didn’t you say so, either?
Woman: Because, I had a crush on you. And, you were supposed to be the one who said that. You’re a man.
Man: Why can’t women express their feelings toward men?
Woman: Who said so?
Man: You just did.
Woman: I did not.
Man: Yes, you did.
Woman: Sigh.
Man: Silent.
Woman & Man: (altogether) Now…
Man: You go first…
Woman: Aren’t you going to say it?
Man: Say what?
Woman: Sigh. Just forget it.
Man: Ok.
Woman: Sigh.
Man: Would you like to join me for dinner tonight?
Woman: Silent.
Man: I guess you don’t.
Woman & Man: Walk different ways.
