A Small Friction

Me and my two friends were taking a stroll in a market area. We felt like munching something hot and decided to buy some hot stuff from a roadside vendor. We were looking for a vendor on the pavement. Suddenly, one  friend entered an expensive restaurant. The other friend who was behind me remarked to me why we should go to an expensive restaurant and waste money and that it was better we avoided it.  I told the first friend that the restaurant appeared expensive and we better avoid it. He said casually, "So what I shall pay the bill for you also".  I was taken aback at his curt remark because we were so close as not to bother who spent when we were together.  I felt completely distanced from him for a moment.  I snapped at him, "Why do you talk like that  It doesn't matter who pays the bill. We can as well pay. What I meant was, it was expensive and it should be avoided whether you spent or others would spend."  I felt very bitter after this conversation and walked away without eating anything.  It took almost two months for the bitterness to blow over.

His reaction made me feel very uncomfortable and thats why i gave a strong reaction. But later, I felt that I should have controlled myself and kept quite. In stead I got provoked and gave a strong reaction leading to bitterness
