They just finished getting their nails and feet done, now they're out at the mall sitting watching the girls play in the arcade.

Aisha: Sis this has really been nice hanging with you and the girls today.

Fatima: It really has. We haven't did this since we moved back from Jamaica.

Aisha: I know Right!!

Fatima: So what's going on with you and Sean?

Aisha: Sis Sean is an amazing man, and I really like him.

Fatima: Do you love him?

Aisha: I do

Fatima: But?

Aisha: It's just been a lot going on and I just honestly think he deserves better than everything that's been happening.

Fatima: Sis when I say this I say this out the kindness of my heart. I feel like you're running, and you always have. And I feel like I played a big part in it. When we left and moved to Jamaica, I thought I was doing you good by taking you away from everything and taking you with me. But I know now that I was only helping you dig an even bigger hole and creating an even bigger problem. I feel like you really never got over what Mike did to you and with everything that's been going on, it's been a lot on you. And the real reason you can't move forward is because you haven't healed from all Mike put you through.

Aisha: And how exactly do you know that?

Fatima: Because I've been where you are. When I left Philly I was running away from my own problems. Ian put me through hell and back, Suffered two miscarriages, one abortion, and still I loved him through it all. But I realized that I loved the man that I wanted him to be, and not the person that he actually was. Then I met Zac, and my whole world changed. ( smiles ) I never had to fight for Zac to be the man that I needed and wanted, he was and still is that man on his own. And I was able to let go of Ian when I learned to trust myself again, To trust that I deserved the man that I'm blessed to call my husband, and you deserve the same. But sis you have to trust yourself again. Zac and I went to counseling, and we fought through some of our most toughest times, and trust me, we've been through a lot. But the love that we share wouldn't break us, and never will.

Aisha: So what are you saying?

Fatima: I'm saying, allow that man to love you the way that you deserve to be loved. I see the was he looks at you and I see the way that you look at him. And I know you're scared, but he's a good man sis. I wouldn't just be telling you this if I didn't believe it nor see it for myself. Go to counseling together, and get the help you need to have a better relationship together. I know that you love him, I can see it. So don't give up on him just yet. Because even after all this craziness that's been going on, he haven't given up on you,

Aisha: So you think it can work?

Fatima: I don't think it, I know it. But you gotta believe it for yourself. But also heal first because that's important.

Aisha: Regardless of how upset you get at me, you're going to always tell me what I need to hear.

Fatima: You my sister. And no matter how old you get, you're going to always be my baby.

Aisha: I love you sis.

Fatima: I love you too sis, You got it.

Aisha: Gone head.

Fatima: Hey handsome

Zac: Hey wifey, How my babies doing?

Fatima: We're good, about to leave this mall and go get something to eat.
