Beware the Mighty Stalker

Perhaps some of you might have already learnt how I was pestered by someone one year plus ago. Not that I leave it until now to talk about it, instead, this entire ‘nightmare’ I called it has been ‘dragged’ for over one year. Throughout the entire period, I’ve been put up with weird unnecessary reactions and questions, thrown to me by many people, especially my colleagues. Never in my life would I expect myself to be involved in and with such person.

My impression of this person, a MALE (just in case you wonder), wasn’t good. Subsequently, we turned out to be rather good colleagues. However, things changed. Trust me it’s damn true when your teachers or your parents impart this saying to you “Never Judge a Book by Its Cover”. He turned out to be a rather desperate person in disguise. He has a huge and emotional history behind him, but I will just leave that out.

The turning point began when I got attached one year plus ago. My absence from work (Long long leave) kind of made him feel weird I reckon. He began throwing weird messages to me, splurging accusations from his mouth freely. I did not know what gotten into him. There and then, he was still a colleague and friend to me. We tried to talk but I find it hard to communicate with him. He became sensitive. On social networking media, he turned stalker. He kept track of my whereabouts. On the outside, he appeared a very normal person, however, on the inside, he seems like a rather desperate attention seeker.

Because of that, I removed him off my social network. Somehow, it worked and everything subsides. Just when things seems to be normal (no longer does he invades my private life and during work, we were normal colleagues), he returned as a weirdo. Knowing how I perceive him already, he shamelessly asked me to add him back before he childishly removes me himself thereafter. It’s sort of a relief for me because no longer will he be able to know my whereabouts and stalk me like some psychopath.

His persistence every now and then had let to me feeling disgusted and irritated. He will do things and ask things that my parents or girlfriend doesn’t even do. That’s what makes everything creepy. Imagine this, I off my mobile phone at the airport for my tour leading trip and by the time I on my mobile phone at Seoul airport, the message I received was from him, asking why I did not inform him that I’ve reached Seoul safely. For goodness sake, I didn’t even inform my parents LAH!

By then, I’ve already shared my creepy yet funny experience with my friends. They gave me their piece of opinion, saying that I might have thought a little bit too much. It wasn’t until I mentioned to them certain stuff that made they changed their mindset yet again. Now imagine this, if you treat someone as friend, or perhaps say very good friend, would you buy him disposable underwear before his trip? Would you tell him you want to give me a supplementary credit card? Would you start being touchy all over him? Seriously, if your answer to any of those questions is a firm yes, please let me know.

His dark side I called it, is unknown to many working around us. Initially, I’m afraid that it’ll cause inconvenience to me, but eventually, that wasn’t too much a concern. My conscience is as clear as water. For someone who talks behind people back, I won’t entertain. He may come and tell me bad things about others, but aren’t he that stupid not to know that who knows one day, he might do the same to me? But anyway, he did do that to me. I proved a point to many. His side of story cast many doubts among other, which was eventually cleared. Like I said, you can never distinguish a fire with a piece of paper. What you do shows a lot about yourself. Eventually, it was what he did that tells the truth, I don’t even have to do anything.

It got to a point where I’ve warned him with the thought of reporting him to the police. I’ve called Telco Company to block the number even, unfortunately, a police report is required. Finally, I realized he’s afraid of two things – ignorance and police. Now that he has stopped his nonsense with me, my other colleagues became his prey. We all finally came to know what kind of person he is, how he can twist the words you said, how he can put words into your mouth etc.

To date, he still goes around telling everyone how much he dotes of me (puke), how he treats me as brother for one moment, then son for another moment, then suddenly becomes best friend. But working with him then turned into a mild chore because I’m disgusted with what I had to face. He stills pretend as though he's a very good friend of mine, but frankly speaking, he's merely a colleague, nothing more than that. Come what may, my next step is clearly to report to the authorities should he breach the line once again. And hopefully, this post shall and can serve as a piece of my unwanted life should anything happen to me, even.
