*Episode 12: The New Chapter*
Weeks had passed, and life felt lighter. Abike had learned to stop expecting closure from people who didn’t care to give it. She had stopped rereading old messages, stopped asking herself what she did wrong, and started embracing the people who chose her every single time — like Mufidat.
One sunny afternoon, they both sat under the tree near their hostel, laughing over childhood stories and sipping chilled drinks.
“I still can’t believe how peaceful I feel now,” Abike said, glancing at the sky. “No more overthinking… no more trying to fix what broke me.”
Mufidat nodded. “That’s what happens when you stop watering dead plants. You start growing your own garden.”
They giggled.
Abike leaned her head on Mufidat’s shoulder and whispered, “Thank you for being my peace.”
Mufidat smiled. “Thank you for letting me in.”
No drama. No apologies needed. No bitterness remained.
Glory had become a memory — one that no longer held weight.
Abike had finally understood: not every friendship was meant to last forever. Some are meant to teach you, test you, and then leave. And some, like Mufidat’s, are meant to remind you that not all people will leave.As the sun set that day, Abike and Mufidat took a selfie, laughing with no filter, no pretense — just two girls, best friends, at peace.
*THE END.* 🌸
