"This is my story where sorry saved the situation"
How's everyone doing? Hope your day was blessed.welcome to this time of soul refreshment with live stories about the word SORRY.
What happened
source
There was a misunderstanding between two ladies today at my work place precisely my sister and her friend.
It happened that someone called my sister and told that her friend in that neighborhood expressed anger concerning owning her some money.
The narrator went on to tell her that the person's anger was because she the money has lingered more than necessary and she hasn't made any effort to pay back.
What led to owning
source
On my sister's side of the story she bought some goods with the said money with the expectation of making quick sales to refund the owner.
But it was quite unfortunate that the sales wasn't as she expected.
The narrator said again that her friend also complained about her buying new goods without buying her meanwhile she also needed goods.
Feeling bad
source
My sister became so sad about the whole matter.Her reason for being sad was because her friend didn't come to express her feelings to her but decided to tell another.
Her friend on her side told the the third party that my sister betrayed her trust on her.
My sister reported the matter to me with sadness in her facial expression.Just after a short while her friend sent for me.As i went to see her ,she told me i was the reason why she gave my sister that money when she had no other hope of getting it elsewhere.
I apologized to her,pleaded with her to calm her mind and erase the anger in her.she told me that my sister most pay her today,if not she will not calm down nor shut her mouth.
My sister finally bad her today but refused to talk with her.She gave me the money to deposit in her friend's account.I made the deposit,took the receipt to her friend, apologized on my sister's behalf and the lady smiled.She jokingly said to me,you and your sister should go away and we laughed.
Am Sorry

I became a middle man between my sister and her friend.I came back and delivered how it went,she told she will never talk with her again.
I told not to do such, besides she was the one at fault not returning the money when she should.
I explained to her that her friend did what she could as human and all she needs is to say sorry to her friend and they will move on.
After awhile she went to her and told she didn't mean it how it happened,Said sorry to her friend and they reconciled and were happy again with each other.
Concerning what i could have done to avoid this situation that calls for sorry,if i was the one involved i could have explained to my friend ahead of the time my reason for not having paid my debt.i wouldn't have waited for it to become an issue that will bring in a third party.
The lesson in this story is that the word "Sorry" is powerful beyond our knowledge,yet so difficult to say because we disregard it's value.
Let's endeavor to say sorry when needed.
I invite my friends @entity01 @chommygift @tanay123 to participate in this contest.
I love how you wove a relatable tale around the power of apologies and forgiveness and also your sister's experience serves as a great reminder that saying 'sorry' can heal relationships and restore peace...thanks for sharing this inspiring story and i wish you all the best.
Thanks so for reading through my post.indeed sorry is a great tool to heal relationships and your peace of mind.
You are welcome 🤗
Market is unpredictable. A lot has happened where one decided to use money that is not his or hers to just do a turnover, but it failed due to market. The truth is that, she could have gone to her to explain. Yes, the other person might be angry but not as angry as she as she was when she felt that she bought goods without paying her back her money first. In any case, lessons are learnt daily. I am glad you acted as a middle person that brought peace instead of adding salt to injury. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for reading through my post.like you said,it was just not explaining to her friend that led to the whole issue.i don't even have the ability to add salt to injury because it's not in my nature.i always prefer peace because bitterness is quite expensive.
