Taken for Granted

Is 'bahasa keren' of the word 'dimanfaatkan'.

Guy A met this Guy B online, where they initially started exchanging messages. And after some time, those messages turned into endless Whatsapp and phone calls session, where they would share the stories of each other, over their past, and their current pursue of happiness.

They were quite sure that they were heading toward that same direction, aiming relationship that could last. Well, maybe not necessarily in romantic department, but more like of a friendship. Who knows if that might leads into something else.

Guy B asked Guy A to buy him souvenirs from Guy A's work trip abroad, even demanded Guy A buy another thing while he already bought one for Guy B. And when Guy B went on a trip somewhere, not even a single magnet fridge bought for Guy A. No, not the money or the value of the souvenir that counts.

Guy A is quite a tech savvy, always tune-in to the latest gadget news and always excited talking about how good that Android phone, or which one the winner of Ultrabook of the Year is. But how did Guy B ruin the excitement? By turning to Guy A every time he has a problem with his notebook and asking for tech advice for every single teeny-weeny bit computer problem and buying guide. *slap on the back*

Guy B had some problem with work, and expecting Guy A to be there to console him and lend an arm to cry on. Even went further, asked Guy A to be there for him while Guy B crying his heart out, pitying himself all day long. Telling stories about how poor he is and asking Guy A for understanding why he kind of ignoring Guy A.

Not a single word was even said by Guy B, asking how's Guy A doing. Just asking Guy A to be there always. No, not the feeling nor the time spent that only counts.

Already taking shape?

You have a bad day, taking one down. Sing a sad song, just to turn it around.
