Here's a really interesting story:

Boy needs money; boy borrows money from girl. With promises to return the amount once he starts working, and to pay back in full by the end of that very year (about 9 more months till the end of the year).

A few months pass, and boy finds a job. Girl is aware but doesn't ask for repayment (because she stupidly assumes boy will have the sense and feel paisehh enough to return the money).

More time passes and soon, it's almost the end of the year. Still not a single cent repaid to the girl! And why?

Boy's mum falls sick, and boy says he has stopped working for awhile. So, no money to return.

Girl, while sympathetic, is very annoyed by now. They finally agree on a measly sum to be repaid each month, cos' bo pian.

New year comes and goes. Still no repayment!

Girl asks boy about repayment. Boy says mum still sick, he hasn't been working, so no money to return. At the very earliest, only in another 3 months then can he start the measly monthly repayment (or so he says. Who's to say what reason will there be in 3 months' time?).

Here's the most interesting twist to the story.

Girl stumbles upon boy's facebook (bet he must be regretting adding her on his fb back then). And sees that boy's facebook recently states he has been working all along. And company photos too! Wow.

And so, girl leaves a comment to ask if he's gone back to work. Wasn't he taking care of his mum?

Amazingly, in less than 3 mins, boy sends girl a message via facebook chat. Trying to explain the situation. And even more amazingly, the comment that the girl posted has been deleted! Talk about efficiency. Altogether now, wowwwww.

Boy says very few people know about his sick mum. And claims he will return to work at the end of the month. Plus, boy will keep girl updated about the loan repayment. Suddenly so much concern over a simple comment hor.

Girl is really puzzled. So how come need 3 months to start repaying loan?

Getting some sense that things are not quite right? Well, girl seems to think so. After all, she ain't stupid. The only stupid thing she's ever done is to loan money to someone who doesn't keep his word.

I hope that the boy in this story has a damn bloody good reason for all the stories spun. Whether true or not, they're still no excuse. Wake up your idea man. Stop taking people and the situation for granted.
