Amayra, feeling a mixture of vulnerability and determination, decides to delve deeper into her past with Gojo. She knows that in order to move forward, she needs to share everything.
Amayra : *taking a deep breath* There's more, Gojo. He was the first guy I ever truly trusted. From the beginning, he knew that the religious barrier could be a problem. But he always assured me that we would overcome it together. He made me believe that he would always be there for me.
Gojo : *nodding, his expression serious* That must have made his betrayal even harder to bear.
Amayra : *voice trembling* Yes, it did. He would constantly tell me, "I know religion is a barrier, but we’ll get through it together." He made me feel safe and hopeful. I believed him when he said we would find a way to make it work, no matter what.
Gojo : *gently squeezing her hand* It sounds like he manipulated your trust and feelings.
Amayra : *tears welling up* Exactly. He gave me so much assurance, so many promises. But in the end, he was the one who gave up. When he broke up with me, he used the religious barrier as an excuse, saying it was impossible for us to be together because of it.
Gojo : *anger flickering in his eyes* That’s such a cruel thing to do. He played with your emotions and used your trust against you.
Amayra : *nodding, her voice cracking* Yes. And later, I found out that it was just an excuse he used with many girls. He would stay with them for a while, make them feel special, and then move on to the next one using the same reason. I was just another one of his conquests.
Gojo : *holding her tighter* Amayra, I’m so sorry. No one should have to go through that.
Amayra : *crying softly* It was so painful. I felt so betrayed and used. I had put all my trust in him, believing he was different. But it was all a lie.
Gojo : *softly wiping her tears* I can’t undo what happened, but I can promise you that I’m here for you. I’ll never lie to you or take your trust for granted. You mean too much to me for that.
Amayra : *sniffling* I want to trust you, Gojo. It’s just so hard after everything that happened.
Gojo : *nodding understandingly* I know. Trust takes time to rebuild, especially after what you’ve been through. We can take things as slowly as you need. I’m not going anywhere.
They sit together in silence for a while, Amayra feeling a sense of relief and comfort in Gojo’s presence. Sharing her story, while painful, also feels like a necessary step towards healing.
Gojo : *softly* You’re incredibly strong, Amayra. To go through all of that and still be here, sharing your story with me... it shows how resilient you are.
Amayra : *smiling weakly* Thank you, Gojo. It means a lot to hear that.
Gojo : *looking into her eyes* We’ll get through this together, Amayra. You don’t have to face anything alone anymore.
With that, Amayra feels a glimmer of hope. She knows that the road ahead won’t be easy, but with Gojo by her side, she feels ready to take the first steps towards a new beginning.
Amayra : *taking a deep breath, her voice steadying* Gojo, I found out later that the religious barrier was just an excuse he used with most of the girls he dated. He made each one of us believe that we were special, that we could overcome any obstacle together. But in reality, he never intended to stay committed. It was his pattern—to charm, to promise, and then to leave when things got too real.
Gojo : *listening intently, his jaw tightening* That’s despicable. Using something as serious as religion to manipulate people’s emotions...
Amayra : *nodding, tears streaming down her cheeks* I felt so foolish and betrayed. I had opened up to him in ways I never had before. He knew I trusted him completely, and he used that trust against me.
Gojo : *pulling her close, comforting her* You’re not foolish, Amayra. You were brave and vulnerable. You gave your trust to someone who didn’t deserve it. It’s not your fault.
Amayra : *leaning into his embrace* Thank you, Gojo. I’m sorry for burdening you with all of this.
Gojo : *stroking her hair gently* You’re not burdening me. I want to understand everything about you, the good and the painful. It helps me know how to support you better.
Amayra : *sniffling* I want to believe that not everyone is like him. That there are people who mean what they say and won’t hurt me.
Gojo : *firmly* I promise you, Amayra. I’m not like him. I will never use your trust or manipulate your feelings. You can count on me.
Amayra : *looking up at him, her eyes searching his* I want to trust you, Gojo. I really do.
Gojo : *smiling softly* Take your time. Trust is something that grows over time. I’m willing to wait.
