Meet-up with my 'cousin' today after work.
We had dinner at AMK Hub. She started to talk about some general happenings. Then she start to go into the agenda.
She asked me for a loan - a big sum of money (to help settle her hubby's debts). She said I am the other person whom she dare to borrow money from besides her older sister. She mentioned that its actually her older sister who advised her to ask me for the loan saying that I might be able to help her.
I felt a mixture of feelings with question marks here and there. I quite flatly said no but only can spare a lesser amount. She said its not adequate to pay the debts and she has a tight dateline to meet. If I could lend her this amount, she will pay me back by monthly instalments. I felt a bit 'soft inside' but I insist that I could only loan her so much. She really wish I could help her tide over this 'storm'.
I am not sure you know. If I help her to settle this 'storm', I got a feeling that another 'storm' is going to appear though she said this is the last time. I just feel that there is no ending. Siiiiiiiiiiigh.
This is not the first time she borrows money from me. I have been helping her whenever she asks me but the interval is getting closer and closer. Looks like no ending.
Do not understand why she has landed into such a plight (I felt uneasy also hearing her plight) due to her husband's, her sons' and her own 'greed' or overspending.
Well I felt sorry for her but I must not be emotional towards 'money problem' though can felt that she is very worried about the dateline. She said could have to go to Court if she can't settle the money by the dateline (that's what she told me). Siiiiiiiiiiiigh again.
She made me fall into a dilemma ?
