reminders or letter fro a "friend "


Hi, I'm Eva. I'm going to tell you how i start talking with my fRIEND. My friend's name is Beja. 

SHE SEND (in a previous e-mail; just out of blue- in fact was her 1st e-mail ever send to me ) PAGES SCANED FROM A ROMANIAN BOOK ABOUT : 

  • dependable women
  • “Cinderella" syndrome(how it was called): about wives with passive role in the family
  • about clingy women in need of a husband to provide for them and their kids
  • about how childhood and teen years determined women behaviour 
  • etc
--------------------
A bit confused, yet surprised, that a stranger took the time to send her pages from a book that seemed to be ok, Eva send THIS REPLY:


Dear Beja,
 
Thanks for your e-mail.
 
I try to remember where do we know each other ...?
 
Sorry ... my"lapse": 0)

Beja replayed like this :


Eva,
 
I do not intend to wear a toxic mail exchange with you. I just wanted to give you the opportunity to use your free time ... too much free time 
and to give you a chance to use it in a constructive way ... I do not have time for irony … 

 ... that's right, you do not know me at all, but I know something about yourself .... and about people like you. 

I do not want a war with you because, long ago, I learn not to go into unequal fights. It would not be fair either to me or to you ... but I know what loneliness Certainly means and i'm not scare. I know what means to gave up dignity, to manipulate, to be a beggar and a dependable woman. Its (all) are the attributes of a whore...for lack of better words … 


do not kid yourself that the status of mother ennobles you so much that would delete(errase) all the pain and misery you cause to those around you, in the name of love without meaning ... but if it calms you down.. .I'm happy for you!

Eva read couple of times the letter and her reaction to this was :    NONE 

Thou, she was so angry with the nick names Beja gave her and with her involvement in Eva's personal life (with how she knew personal stuff and put it in "Beja-ness" interpretation... .) 
All this reminded her :       " This is what fRIENDS are for".

Eva knew that the best revenge was not to reply at all: no comments, no reaction, no emotion, like she really did not care about her "NEW friend" 's opinion, would be the best punishment

ps: I guess(I know)was the best. 


NOTE: 
This is a fiction essay. 
All the similarities with real persons are pure coincidences.
