My university classmate英文美文
I had a long conversation with one of my university classmates last night. We took some beer. We always did that when we were still undergraduates.
We are very good friends. There’s no secret between us. He’s the one who introduced a “nice” girl to me in 1996. Even though I broke up with her in the end because I found I was not her only boy, I was still grateful to him. He didn’t mean to introduce a slut to me anyway!
His father passed away in September 1999, two days before I called him from Singapore. Except saying “Oh, How” to him, I did not know what to say. I knew these words were so useless, but I had almost the same feelings as him! I knew his father well, who was a respectful professor, just like my father! He treated me as his own son! The bad news had ruined my mood for a month!
Two years later, I attended his wedding ceremony. He has a well-educated and beautiful wife! I thought he was happy until last night! He told me he had not been with his wife for 4 months already! They have not signed the paper yet, though!
I thought he was joking at first, so I said: Come on, buddy! Don’t do it only because we are brothers! He said: I do not joke around! I will never make jokes on my marriage!
Then he told me it was because his wife did not respect his mother much! He did try to maintain a friendly relationship between his wife and his mum, but he failed in the end! The young impulsive woman tore their wedding pictures into pieces just in face of his mum! It’s only because his mum claimed that her cooking skills were not perfect. Was it a big deal that your mum said that to her? I asked him. Nope, I don’t think so. He replied. Neither do I!
However, I still try to let him know how suffered I was in last year. I suggested him to have a last frank talk with his wife and try to solve the problem. You have no idea how I managed to make myself out of the shits! I said to him! Don’t sign the paper unless you have no other options!
Oops, How am I gonna help him out of this?
