I Have a Story to Share

This happens a month ago. There is an old man who lives across the street. He is a decent man I knew him since I was a kid. Anyway, recently he called me numerous time. I always didn't answer his call because he is kind of nosy want to know what am I doing. He sounds caring but I just don't like to share my sob stories. I am not the talkative person.

One day, I answered his call and he told me to wait outside because he is gonna give a vegetable (from his harvest). Once I open the door, he suddenly gave me an envelope that contains money in it. I said no, but he insists. In the end, I accept the envelope and the vegetables.
The next day, he called again. This time, I didn't answer for a week straight. Then, he didn't called.

Actually, I don't know what to do with that money. I don't like to accept money from someone who wasn't my family. Besides, it just too random.
I want to give back but it looks disrespectful giving back the gift.
I just let the money there and go on with my life.

This is so awkward...🤦‍♀️

@SW-User Can't you be his friend? Or does he want something else?
SW-User
@hunkalove Well. I would love to but I can't understand what is his saying. Sometimes, I get what he says, sometimes I don't and I just say okay... I don't want to offend him. How can I befriend with him? I mean, I'm not a friendly person and I might slipped saying harsh words to him. This is an old man almost same age with my dad.

SW-User
@olderuncle944 I supposed so. He is like a father to me but sometimes his is too nosy than my own father. I mean, my father never cared about my grades, my problems at school , work, etc.. Usually, that man is going to ask that kind of questions. I'm getting nervous when he asked that kind of questions. 😅

@SW-User if you return the money he might be offended and hurt,maybe he wasent as good to hid kids and maybe thru hes trying to do better, many years ago my father and i didnt get along but i had a boss that treated me better and took more interest in me ,it wasent that i didn't love my father like you my dad didn't seem interested in any thing i did
