I Don't Want Friend You!
Brewing Friendship. 
I am very concerned about the way some people behave. I can understand if these people are a bunch of 10 year olds because some 10 year olds still wet the beds yet go to school to become school prefects.
When you are ten and you say “I don’t want friend you, here take your ball back”, fair enough, you’ll probably go home get washed, have dinner, go to bed. Tomorrow you’ll meet up with your friend again and play again in the same playground, not a single recollection of yesterday’s stupid fights.
Translocate that to present, imagine a twenty something male kayu saying to another friend batu, here take all these back we are not friends anymore. Batu was left blinking at his own front door with some boxes full of all the birthday gifts he’s ever bought kayu.
Batu did not sleep with kayu’s girlfriend, neither did he rape kayu’s sister, or mother or grandmother. I know it’s a sick thought but I am beyond sickened.
He did not kill any of kayu’s cats, fish, coachroaches or pot plants. He never stole anything, never lied never cheated never done nothing other than being a good loyal friend to kayu. So what could have he possibly done? What could be worse than those reasons?
Is it fair that he’s cut out from the pictures? Erased from the phonebook? Not invited to any ritual gatherings? Has kayu even stopped and thought about how batu would feel?
Are we not all muslims and all muslims are brothers? Shouldn’t we all try to spread good words and aim to be a better friend to another?
I need enlightenment.
I might be seeing it from a completely different angle and missed the point altogether. Maybe there’s a new mazhab which has been hidden from me and what’s been said before ‘Tidak akan masuk syurga mereka yang memutuskan silaturrahim’ is now obsolete?
Do you want to find either of you in a hospital struggling for the last breath hoping that you have that extra time to say I am sorry, before you realize that what’s happening now is completely absurd, immature, unthinkable and seriously, damaging to those around you?...of all people..
It’s not wrong to have maturity that surpasses the age and that fools the naked eyes.
Still, this disturbs me. Some people are so kayu.
p/s: It's actually quite difficult not to get batu and kayu mixed up when writing.
