The Biggest Dream in My life

The biggest dream that i have ever had in my life was hoping to go out far away from this country.. But however my luck will never bring me there. I have tried to find job there even though it was not the best try, I went there not long time ago, i went for a month, i stayed with my friend's parents who really welcoming me to stay in her house (kinda apartment). They really treated me well in the first three days and i was very happy to stayed in their house. Her mother always cooked a delicious lunch and dinner and always asked me to have lunch and dinner there, though i seldom eat there, because i was thinking not to owe them too much....I always chat with her mother, we had a great conversation and seemed that we are really closed....
One day, when i was about to go out, her mother suddenly borrowed money from me, perhaps she might knew that i brought much money there for my living expenses. She was in a hurry that day and i was shocked when she started to borrow money from me..because i had taking her as my own aunt then without consideration i lent her the money, which consider as a big amount....She said that she needed that much money for house renting fees then i think it's alrite for helping others, because in the other hand i was staying with her as well...She asked me not to tell her husband about this money and promised to return my money a week later after she has taken it from her husband (i might understand because she didn't work and hang on her husband)..
A week later, she said, i will gave it back when i got the money from the uncle, then i think it's okay...Since then she started to tell a lie, i was a bit curious about what she has done to my money...
I tried to make sure and asked uncle while she was out for something.
"Have uncle paid for the house renting fees? i asked.
"Yes, i have..i always pay on time and you don't have to be worried about the house renting fees, as long as i am still working and am able to pay then you may stay for free here?" replied uncle.
"Actually aunt borrowed money from me (i told him the amount of the money that she lent). She said for paying the house renting fees, then i just simply gave to her.." i said..
Then the uncle was angrily replied me: "Why should you lent her the money? You know that she always took my money when i came back from work and it is still doesn't enough for her to go gambling? I still owe the government $10000 because of paying the debt...and Now, she still lent money from you?"
I was shocked when i knew she is a gambler then i replied him: "It is alrite, i just wanna make sure whether she told a lie or not, because she said she needed that money for paying house renting fees..then i believe in her and lent her the money..I hope uncle didn't ask her about the money that she lent from me anymore.."
When aunt came home, she saw uncle's face was not in a good mood then she asked me: "What had you said to uncle? why is his face suddenly turn black?" then i replied: I asked him about the house renting fees then he said he had paid for it, so why were you still borrowing for the house renting fees? Was there anything that you didn't want me to know?". She started to blame on me and swear (said bad words).. I was trying to control myself and cried silently. I was thinking deep inside my heart, i was alone here far from my parents and i got this problem...Then i sms my grandma who live there and she asked me to go out soon from my friend's house and stayed with her....When i am about leave the house, she just gave me back the money after deducting for the house renting for a week. Then i move to my grandma house, in which i really enjoy more staying with my grandma. (everything is free, eat for free, stay for free, and shop for free)..I enjoyed my time staying with my grandma.

I learnt something precious from that, "We might not be that easily to trust others, how close they are with you, we should always be careful ,stay smart and be wise"
