Reality : Childhood
This is an old story. I don’t remember the details, but I try to point up the important things only. This is about childhood, friendship, family love and something else, something new but strange, at least for a kid. I bet one cannot actually define what happened, but I tell you anyway.
Me :
Seven years old, second grade in elementary school.
Physically : A short girl. Mentally : Clumsy.
Was having my school holiday.
There was a new student and new kid in our neighborhood,just moved in a month ago and enjoying the same holiday.
My friend :
Ten years old, third grade.
Physically : a lanky girl. Mentally: Unknown.
My opinion : She was my new friend, bigger than me and nice. I thought she could be my big sister I never had.
We spent lots of time together, no, as long as I remember it was very short time but in some extent I could feel the eternity on it. Were playing along and running errands all day, happened for few days, maybe a week. Then, there was Sunday.
We dropped by to my house after a morning walk. She sat in the living room. I entered my room and saw my dad sleeping there.
My dad :
32 Years old
Physically : In my memory he was so big, big enough to carry me on his shoulders.
Mentally : Love me so much.
Had been working in town and went home once a month.
I got surprised and shouted out loud, loud enough to wake him up. Loud enough to be heard by my friend. I was so happy to meet him, too much happiness, so was my dad. He kissed me and we were chatting and laughing for five minutes .
Five minutes : The lenght of time you need to destroy a friendship.
Mum warned us to stop, she had been in kitchen and I failed to notice that. I finished with my dad and came back to my friend. We went out again. Until the midday, we separated and said goodbye, literary and beyond of my knowledge, forever.
She stopped talking to me, even to say 'hi'. We met but she acted as she never saw me. I got totally ignored. Let’s say my existence was ceased in her universe.
My response : first, shocked. Second, confused.
WHY?
A new word had been added to my dictionary : “Jealous”
Some facts : My friend moved with her mother only. Her parents was having quarrel and decided to live separately. They were too poor to afford divorce.

Thanks for this amazing post, dear Peppo! I really liked your writing!
It is difficult for little children to understand why they can't have everything that other children have. This may make them jealous. Likewise, a child may get confused when suddenly someone starts to ignore them. I think accepting the reality is not that easy for children.
It's ok Dear Serene, this is only a piece of writing. hugs back.
Maybe dear, there were another reason. Btw, you wrote it well! hug from here.
Dear Serene,..
Thank you for your awesome comment^^
I wish I could do that but then, I was only 7 years old, what could I do? even to write and read I still barely to do that. sometimes thing becomes hard when it's relate to children. What you said about her maybe true but I am not sure -I never dare to assume. Probably there were another reasons. Children are unique, simple yet complicated.
Dear Peppo! Wonderful post! Being jealous she stopped to talk to you, you can confront her, give her assurance , in her early age she had to face the complicated chapter in her life, It was nothing compared to the pain she went through. Her father was abandoning her and deprived her of getting the loves she supposed to have. Such situation was manifesting into jealousy and it is easy to feel jealous when we are child and had to confront such state of affairs.
