The Rejection That Ended in My Regret ||My Entry for the Hive Learners Contest "W33E1"

Hello friends. I'm @rahmatandesti again greeting all of you who are in the Hive Learners community, I hope you are all in good health and smooth in carrying out activities.

On this occasion, I am back to participate in the flagship contest held by the Hive Learners community. The contest is very interesting because it discusses a different theme each week and its edition. We are entering a new week this time hopefully it will be a good Sunday for all of us. This first edition discusses rejection. Namely the rejection of what we've experienced and it's imprinted in our minds until now.

Everyone must have their own life plan but the life plan will not go as we planned, there are many obstacles and obstacles that we experience. One of them is rejection, we all must have felt rejection from others, of course the rejection is beyond the planning we made, maybe we didn't even realize it before. I myself once felt a rejection that was very imprinted in my mind.

This rejection that I experienced occurred when I met a woman I knew through my friend, at first we met through social media because my friend told me her social media account. Long story short we have known each other for a long time and exchanged news through social media so I gave myself to ask him to meet at first he agreed to my invitation but did not give a definite time when he could meet because he was busy. Until one day we agreed to meet somewhere but until that time he didn't give any news and in the end we didn't meet him because he fell asleep and didn't see his cellphone so he didn't know I was calling him. Well I understand maybe he is tired and I don't mind it and we continue to be on good terms.

One time he suddenly asked me to meet because he happened to be at a tourist spot in our area, because at that time I was busy working so I refused his invitation because I couldn't leave my job suddenly. He himself understood the reasons I gave. Because it's not that I don't want to but that I really can't.

We have known each other for a very long time but have never seen each other. However, I feel comfortable with him because his attitude is friendly and kind, when we called he said he was also very soft. We once had a video call and in my opinion she was an attractive and pious-looking woman. From all that he had, I became attracted to him until one day I ventured to express my feelings of interest to him but the answer was not what I expected he came from not wanting to reject me but he was not in a relationship because he was focused on studying and he said he didn't want to disappoint me. Even though I have given my opinion and advice to him, the answer is still the same. I finally gave in and accepted his decision with grace.

After that incident we are still on good terms and exchange news with each other. But for some reason since that incident he seemed to be avoiding and changed a bit when I asked him because he was busy. Since then I have regretted ever expressing my feelings to him because the result of my actions made him stay away from me. Until now we are still friends but never exchange news again. I myself feel awkward and do not dare to say hello if only to ask how he is. I feel sorry for ever expressing my feelings at that time, if I had known this would be the result I would have chosen to keep my feelings hidden and we could continue to be good friends.

Now I will think before making a decision because we will not know the consequences we will cause. Because things won't go the way we planned. There are many obstacles in life that we have to go through. May we all be given the best way to achieve all the dreams we want.

That's my short story about the rejection that I've experienced, hopefully it can entertain all readers. Sorry if there are errors in writing. Thank you so much for visiting, have a nice day all of you.
