The coffee shop

When i was 24 years old i started a part-time job which was working in a coffee shop as a waiter three days per week friday, saturday and sunday. i was introduced to it by my friend who was working as a manager there already. there were 5 people working at the coffee shop. all of the coworkers were women not including my friend and me. i was the only part-time worker. the days i worked were the holidays of one of the managers.

Then i met a woman, she was beautiful and the same age as me. we were working the same days per week so i looked forward to each day. she didn't have a boyfriend and i hoped to make her my girlfriend. my friend had a girlfriend who was a older than him and they had been together for a longtime.

Usually after finishing work my friend and i would ride the bus always sitting in the same place. my friend often called his girlfriend while i was looking out of the window. oneday i heard his call but it was not to his girlfriend, it was the girl that i liked. at first i didn't think it was important but the more and more he called her instead of his girlfriend our relation ship became worse.

Finally i decided to stop work and i asked him on my last shift "every day after finishing work whom are you calling?" he answered "my girlfriend" i knew it was a lie but i wanted to keep our friend ship, i told him "we have been friends since we were 14 years old and remember, if you die i will go to your funeral but i don't think any of your girlfriends go to your funeral" for some time i didn't meet him.

After several months, i heard that she and my friend stopped working because she was pregnant. my friend didn't want the baby so she had an abortion. since then i have never seen her again and recently i met my friend he told me "i'm sorry but my lie was for you, i didn't want you hurt by her" i answered "i'm ok i have forgotten"

My memory of her left a pain in my heart after being hurt at a youn age.
