This is my story where sorry saved the situation

Hi @ngoenyi. My boss actually shared this your post in our own platform and so I decided to participate.

I think I've had countables of situation like these from similar offenders, and it's painful when you're the beggar.

This one happened in Lecture hall, Ignatius Ajuru University. There is this guy often described as the lender. Everybody in the class knows him as that. We were actually having test this time around, and I came to school with 2 pen. I'm someone that does not like or love disappointment. And so I will always get everything needed while coming to school, so that I won't join the lenders team, and I won't be buckled up with series of distractions.

I sat close to the first desks. The test is about to start, the lecturer warns the students. I adjusted myself into that little space where no lender will see me. And get myself mentally prepared for the bombarding questions that will be released.

2 minutes to go. This guy is still holding the fake pen that only seems real. I don't have much time to focus on someone's business when I haven't been able to focus on mine, and so I wave my attention into a spring box.

“Start!, the lecturer begins. I just answered the first question as this same guy screamed amidst everyone in the class. “Shit! My pen just finished”, “Who can render help?”, the lecturer didn't want the usual noise that do distract his attention from flying round the class, and so immediately he joined him asking for anyone who might have two.

I identified myself by my hand and the lecturer came close to me. I majestically handed over the pen to him, so he be swift in his approach. The young man collected the pen and appreciated me. But before this, I notice a slight reaction of annoyance leap round others faces.

The test ended 1:30 minutes. I was the first person to summit. But I was waiting for this young man to finish up and deliver the pen back. Only to hear another scream declaring: Who took my pen. I can't find it. I was almost teared into pieces. I could remember my spirit telling me not to give, since I had known his kind of person.

Sorry was the feedback. He didn't even think of repaying me back, he just ended everything with a single word Sorry.

Hmm! It's annoying, I'm completely fixed in a tight corner. So I can't even cough, immediately he declared that, everybody laughed at me. I was seeing like a fool but I swallowed the pains.

I would've save myself a cup of coffee by hardening my heart after hearing things about him. But I held bound, and still considered his request not invalid. He didn't even acknowledge that he lost the pen, at first, he was trying to cross post different heads together. But thank God, the lecturer was there.

I would've become more tensed if the guy didn't said sorry. Most times, even in our debts, learn to say Sorry. It may be small, but it's a healing passport.

I invite @bossj23, @deetalka6 and @basil20 to participate in this contest.
