S and b(l)ackmail

S mails me.
I reply back.
S replies.
I reply.
Then S doesn’t bother to mail.
I stop.
I wonder.
What happenend ?
It is like talking to someone and that someone suddenly stops taking.
Makes one wonder.
What did I do ?
Did I say anything wrong that might’ve possibly offended S ?
I go through my previous mails .
Nothing . I see nothing amiss.
"Oh, did I say something which could’ve contradicted what I’d said months back? May be!"
Like a madman I go through all my correspondence with S.
I spend days wondering why S never mailed.
This is bad. Why isn’t S mailing ? why don’t I mail and ask what the problem is ?
No , may be S doesn’t want to see my mail. May be S hates me.
This is bad. I’ll never speak to S again.
Then, a month later S mails.
"whats up ? why don’t you mail? don’t tell me you are that busy."
Now, I am at the wrong end !
But its fine.
The fact that S is still my friend makes me happy.
All losses restored. All sorrows gone !
