Episode 1 : The Girl Who Pretends

‎Amara was the type of girl who would say, ‎“I don’t need anybody,” ‎ ‎then cry at 2am because nobody stayed 😔💔. ‎ ‎ She laughed too loudly. ‎ ‎ Teased her friends nonstop. ‎ ‎ Rolled her eyes whenever people talked about love 🙄. ‎ ‎“Love is stress,” she would say. ‎“Me? I just want peace.” ‎ ‎But the truth? ‎ ‎Peace felt lonely. 🥺 ‎ ‎She wasn’t heartless. ‎ ‎She was just tired. ‎ ‎Tired of giving too much. ‎ ‎Tired of caring first. ‎ ‎Tired of pretending she didn’t feel deeply. ‎ ‎Then he came. ‎ ‎ Tunde wasn’t loud. ‎ ‎He didn’t try to impress her. ‎ ‎He just… watched 👀. ‎ ‎One day, after she made a joke about ‎ “Men being useless,” he smiled and said: ‎“You talk like someone who once loved too hard.” ‎ ‎She froze. ‎ ‎“What does that even mean?” she asked, trying to sound annoyed. 😳 ‎ ‎He shrugged. ‎ “It means you don’t hate love. You’re just scared of it.” ‎ ‎She laughed. Too quickly. 😅 ‎ ‎“Please. I’m not that deep.” ‎ ‎But later that night… ‎ ‎She replayed his words over and over. 💖 ‎Because for the first time, ‎ ‎someone didn’t fall for her “I’m strong” act. ‎ ‎And somehow… ‎ ‎that scared her more than love ever did. 😌💔 To be continued… ‎ ‎ ‎Did you relate to Amara? 🥺 ‎Vote and tell me in the comments. ‎And follow for Chapter 2 💌✨
