The Rumor

I was about to blog about my SG trip. But something happened while I was away. 

It was a little complicated. But I will try to make it as simple as possible. 

While I was at a local coffee shop. My very good friend S sent me a message asking me if I was in SG. And so the convo started. She said she has something to tell me. But since I was on vacation. She insisted to tell me when I et back. The morning after. But it really bothered me. So I just asked her what its about. She said its about me. 

I was so puzzled. I never did anything wrong. Or any stupid things lately. Aside from being a busy bee in the family business. 

So I insisted she tell me everything that very night. 

So ill just cut the long story short. The info actually came backwards. But since we already figured out the whole story. I'll just tell it on how it actually went. 

Dec 2013. I was diagnosed with HiV. I told my friends back home about my condition. These are my group of very very trusted friends. 

One of them was M. Who accidentally slipped and told someone about my condition without my or our knowing it. Her name - A. And then. Everything went on as usual. They were all concerned about my condition. I am forever blessed to have very caring and thoughtful friends. 

Around June 2014. "A" being a teacher by profession had this seminar thing. She was still bothered by my condition. Very much worried (or at least I presume). For some odd reason. And I still dont know why. She told her friend named AL. She never gave any names. Just some basic but very obvious details. That the person she is referring to is from ---- and an alumnus of -----  

"AL" already knew it was me. I guess I was that popular back then. Kidding aside. So AL got involved too. He asked one of my highschool close friends named P if she knew something about it. P was shocked. She told J. And S. 

"S" was one of my friends whom I told my condition last dec 2013. So she knew everything. But just pretended she didn't. 

I don't know how to react to all that happened. I was at the airport and I feel like floating while having a chat with AL. P and J. And M. 

My friends back home were all so worried. They started this group chat to help me investigate how it happened. 

But it was M. A part of our group who spilled the info. 

I was not angry. I was not mad or anything. 

I guess I have just been through a lot of hardships that this little thing does not bother me anymore. Or I guess I've matured in handling situations like this. 

I haven't talked to M personally yet. But im planning to really see her and tell her that Im not mad. That everything is okay with me. 

So I got the msg actually was backwards. From S. Then from P who got the info from AL. Who got the info from A who got the info from M. It was about 12hours of really tracing and figuring things out. 

I guess all we have to do now is just to move forward and be careful next time.
