An Ungrateful Pal

Personal events often test the level of friendship one shares with others. In showbiz, celebrities usually brag when they have found true friends among their colleagues. The reason for this pride is that they recognize that a number of celebrities are really not true and only take advantage of certain relationships.

Sometime ago, Actress 1 (A1), Actress 2 (A2), and Actress 3 (A3) were admired for the friendship they exhibited during their program. Nonetheless, A1, A2, and A3 acknowledged that their bond extended even behind the cameras. Thus, their friendship was deemed ideal.

When their program was scrapped due to reformatting, the three had to go separate ways. A1 opted to semi-retired, A2 decided to pursue an acting career that showed her prowess as the anti-heroine, and A3 went back to the airwaves. However, circumstances were unkind to A3, as she realized that she had to make a move given the major reformatting the station was conducting then.

When an offer from Another Station (AS) was presented to A3, she grabbed the opportunity because the potential seemed wide and financially rewarding. As A3 had various programs in AS, she found herself in alleged financial trouble. With a growing family, A3 had to make sure her children and new husband would be well taken care of. When A1 and A2 learned of the problem of A3, they pooled resources and offered A3 help.

As fate would have it, A3 had to make a comeback, which had become a pattern for several artists who had though that they would have a better career at AS. This time, A3 was blessed with projects and regular shows in the various media arms of her station. Thus, her finances were finally on the upswing.

Sadly, A1 was not as lucky as A3. This time, she needed help and turned to A3. However, A3 did not answer her calls nor reply to messages. These actions were justified because A3 was really busy.

However, when A3 learned that A1 might borrow money from her, the hide-and-seek game started. Thus, it felt like A3 was intentionally keeping her distance from A1 allegedly. Then, A1 was surprised because A3 sent a small amount of money, which was merely like a token. More than the financial help, A1 was hoping to see A3 personally to at least reminisce old times. Unfortunately, A3 did not bother to see her old friend.

When their circle learned of what A3 had done, they all felt bad. Not only did A3 show her true self, they felt that she did not at all have any sense of gratitude. When she needed help, A1 and company did not hesitate to help her out. Now that A1 is in need, A3 has not even made herself available. Hence, their friendship has gone cold these days.
