Catching A Grenade For The Wrong Person!

.....So Emma Ugolee and i made up at last.I called him and we talked...we talked and i told him how sorry i was and he told me how much i hurt him but forgave me.
He told me how much he had missed my friendship and i told him how blog visitors cajoled me to call him blah blah and he laughed in that deep baritone voice and said ''Tell them i said i have missed you so much,tell them we made up''.....Happy ending.

Now let me tell you all a story albeit a personal one.i write about people so i reckon wont hurt if i do this,besides i don't give a rat's behind what anyone's opinion of me is....really!


An actress was my friend was also Emma's friend.I didn't know she was his friend and he didn't know she was my friend......not until the perfect plot was hatched and executed.

One day when we were talking Emma said to me

''too many friends have hurt me,Stella promise me you wont hurt me,promise me.i cant have another friend hurt me...''

I promised him a heaven on earth friendship and that was it.

A while later,my actress friend came to me with tales of what Emma had done to her,she wanted blood for revenge and i was mad...how dare Emma treat my 'friend' like that.
I promised her i wouldn't let him know she was telling me anything,the details were dirty and involved names and even soft blackmail...I was hypertensively mad and lost any amount of trust and respect i had for Emma..I trusted this actress,she was my friend and we had been friends for a long time,she held a special place in my life and we always told anyone who cared to know how close we were,it had nothing to do with her success in acting or mine in writing.

She plotted her revenge and i took sides with her,i abandoned Emma in the heat of my anger,i couldn't even ask him why he had done what she had told me he had done because i was sworn to secrecy by my friend.

The Ricochet of her revenge was loud,it affected Emma's work and personal life and he was probed on the job and family and friends marvelled at turn of events.
I deleted Emma from my life and moved on in anger.Emma knew of the role i played in hurting him and my betrayal killed him million times,he blocked me on facebook and equally deleted me from his life but i didn't care...i even thought about sms-ing him a few stinkers but let it go.

One day,that proverbial scale fell off my eyes like a miracle and i began to observe the inconsistencies in my actress friend.she was a liar,a user and everything she represents is one bogus lie....she tried to seduce him and it didn't work,thus her anger blinded her to take the route she did,and i stupidly took sides...caught a grenade for the wrong person!.

For the past three years i have been looking for a way to contact Emma,to talk to him and ask him to forgive me but i couldn't,i was too proud to do so.hearing he was ill broke me and brought me to tears.i dialled his number a few times but was relieved when he didn't pick the phone.

This evening i asked my friend Egor to give me Emma's number for the second time.she complained about having given it to me before but gave it anyways.
I called Emma and when he said ''hello'' in that Baritone voice of his,a tear drop came down.
We talked and Emma told me the incident that ensued showed him who his true friends are,he lost a lot and was put on pressure for months on the job and on his private life but the next thing he said after that broke me.he said
''Stella of all the things that happened nothing hurt me more than what you did...losing you hurt me.....blah blah blah''.

........So that's it,we made up and we will take it up from there.Emma has an amazing voice,you need to hear him talk,geeeeez!
