Betrayal…an unfortunate ending “committed” by friends

Just as friendship builds human bridges between people, and provides spaces for moral, intellectual, and spiritual communication that leads to individual and collective happiness, it is also what sometimes causes unfortunate isolation or trauma.

In cases that are not at all rare, the selfish side takes over in a person, represented by some lusts or material interests, and he betrays and betrays his friend who gave him great and unconditional trust, and the betrayed party receives it as if it were a slap in the face or a stab in the back, creating deep and painful wounds, and requiring a long time to heal. In addition to losing trust in others, the victim becomes constantly suspicious of others, which forces him to think carefully before giving trust and security.

Treachery and lies
Two friends who lived and grew up together and went to the same school, only to separate after one of them wanted to travel to study abroad. Rami Sakina, who has been married for five years, says that they maintained their friendship, despite the distance, to renew the covenant of friendship between them, after the traveler returned, and by virtue of the human relationship. Strong, Sakina trusted his friend absolutely, and said, “My friend bore witness to a love relationship that brought me together with a girl, with all its sweet and bitter details,” considering him the keeper of his secrets, but he was loyal. One time, Sakina explained, his girlfriend “complained about the friend’s insinuations and his annoying and intrusive looks,” especially since he was with the group of mutual friends, but he belittled her words and asked her to “refrain from creating strife between him and his childhood friend,” saying, “You always warned me against jealousy.” My friend and his desire to have everything I have.” However, he received a strong slap when he realized that she was right, adding, “I drew up a plan to clearly reveal the mask,” and he continues. Sakina: “My beloved deliberately did things that annoy me in order to create a problem between me and her.” Because he was claiming friendship, the friend came to him to tell him that he would go to meet her in an attempt to restore the water to its drains. A few hours later, the beloved called Sakina, asking him to go to the garden where they usually sat, saying: “I stressed that I would remain hidden,” after he asked to meet her, citing his noble move, and he added, “I remained in my place, without I believe what I hear, and my shock was great.” He told her that he had been “waiting for that moment for years” because he loved her and wanted her as his lover, while his lover tried to provoke him to express all the hatred and grudges he was hiding.

Despite the truth being revealed and the two lovers returning, Sakina confirmed that he felt very sad knowing that his “friend through thick and thin” for years had been deceiving him.

Exploitation and hatred
“I helped her and found a job for her in the Emirates, but she was ungrateful.” With these words, Ghina Ali, a Jordanian working in Dubai, describes her close friend – formerly – who fabricated rumors about her and tried to distort her image in front of her manager and colleagues. She adds, “I secured her a job in… The company I work for, because I believe that we will be a support to each other while abroad, but as soon as it set foot on the airport, its behavior began to gradually worsen.” She confirms that she tried At first, “I ignored her annoying behavior, and I understood that her disturbance was due to moving away and starting a new job,” but the friend began to abuse her and accuse her of lying and fraud to get what she wanted. “She would move from one colleague to another, telling him fabricated tales and stories, and then she would knock on the manager’s door, warning of my villainy and revealing “My truth, which I hide behind a mask of innocence and kindness.” She added, “We asked the director to his office, where confrontation and questioning took place, but she was unable to He denied the accusations due to the presence of witnesses, so he asked her to submit her resignation and leave quietly.” And when she was forced to return to Jordan, “carrying hatred and resentment in her heart, she told my family and our acquaintances that I had caused her to be fired from work, but no one believed her or gave her importance,” and despite her injury and loss, Ghina Ali confirms that true friendship still exists, because a person cannot live without friends, but she has become more careful in choosing friends.

A friend for 10 thousand dirhams
In response to the call of “a friend in need,” an employee at a perfume and cosmetics company, Zaid Hussein, 30 years old, provided financial assistance to his friend and countryman, worth about 10,000 dirhams, citing his family’s need for money. He said, “I did not hesitate for a single moment to help him, despite “Because I do not have the full amount in my pocket,” because they are friends who were forced to travel and work abroad, and because of his moral principles that require providing assistance to the needy, and before receiving the money, the friend promised to pay him back. The amount is paid in monthly payments, while Hussein gave him a long period of time to repay the debt, stressing the need to send money to the family to settle their situation, saying, “I will not be a true friend if I do not extend a helping hand to you.” After receiving the amount, Hussein points out that his friend has disappeared, so he thought He suddenly had to visit his family, but he heard from other friends that he had traveled to Thailand for tourism. He says, “I tried to call him and see him, to no avail.” Shortly after, Hussein discovered that his friend had deceived him. And he exploited him to get money. He says, “I was very upset because he made up untrue stories about me,” to win over friends and tarnish his reputation. He was surprised by people’s ability to sell their humanity in exchange for fleeting and fake things, as “my friend sold me for 10 thousand dirhams, which means that he is cheap and does not deserve my friendship.” ».

Friendship and love
Zeina Hajjar, who is recently divorced, goes further and asserts that “the time of honesty and good feelings has passed, because people have become selfish, looking for personal and material benefit.” She explains, “I met my husband through a mutual friend, and he liked me and asked to get closer to me.” However, she rejected him in a polite way because of her relationship with another man, which made him submit to her desire and they became friends, but he was able to win her over after disagreements broke out with her lover. And they separated, and she says, “He stood by my side and helped me in my distress, so I opened my heart to him and considered him very close to me.” She used to complain to him about her problems and suffering, and as the meetings increased and the days and months passed, she felt that she “could not stay away from him,” and she says, “I immediately agreed to marry him. When he asked me to be his life partner,” because she believed that she would be the happiest woman in the world, because his qualities combine the attention and understanding of a friend, and the love and passion of a lover, With great sadness and regret, Hajjar explains that her husband changed a lot after they were brought together within the walls of one house, explaining that he “became nervous, fierce, and indifferent” to her needs and desires, in addition to preventing her from visiting her family and communicating with her friends, and exploiting her financially.

The events took a more negative turn, and she explains that “he began to come home late and even sleep outside the house,” but “the big shock was when she caught him with another woman” in their marital home. Hajjar laments the loss of a former friend who supported her and gave her advice. But she says, “I did not regret losing a husband who cheated and was unfair, but rather I lost a friend who helped, which left deep and painful wounds,” in addition to the fact that she broke off her relationship with him “because friendship can turn into love, but love “He does not retreat into friendship.”
