Chapter 23 : Unexpected Twists

Several months had passed since the serene evening in the park. Amayra and Gojo had settled into their routine, balancing work, family, and their love for each other. Life seemed perfect, but little did they know that an unexpected twist was about to unfold.

One crisp autumn morning, as Amayra was preparing breakfast, she received an unexpected phone call.

---

Amayra : *answering the phone* Hello?

Voice on the other hand : *hesitantly* Amayra? It's your ex-boyfriend. I need to talk to you about something important.

---

Amayra felt a pang of unease. She hadn't spoken to him since their brief encounter in the park. She glanced at Gojo, who was playing with their child in the living room, and took a deep breath.

Amayra : *firmly* What is it?

Ex-boyfriend : *sighing* I know this is sudden, but I need your help. My younger sister, who looks up to you a lot, is in trouble. She got involved with some dangerous people, and I don't know where else to turn.

Amayra's initial instinct was to refuse. She had moved on and built a new life, but the mention of his sister, who she had always cared for, tugged at her heart. She knew she had to talk to Gojo about this.

Amayra : *after a pause* I’ll think about it. Goodbye.

After ending the call, Amayra joined Gojo on the couch, her expression troubled. Gojo immediately sensed her unease.

Gojo : *concerned* What's wrong, Amayra ?

Amayra : *explaining the situation* My ex called. His sister is in trouble, and he asked for my help. I know it’s complicated, but I feel I can’t ignore it.

Gojo listened carefully, his eyes reflecting understanding and support.

Gojo : *gently* If helping her is what you want to do, then we’ll do it together. You’re not alone in this.

Reassured by Gojo's support, Amayra decided to meet her ex-boyfriend and his sister to understand the situation better. They arranged to meet at a quiet café later that day.

At the café, Amayra and Gojo sat across from her ex-boyfriend and his visibly distressed sister. The tension was palpable, but Amayra felt a sense of resolve.

Ex-boyfriend : *pleadingly* Thank you for coming. My sister got involved with some dangerous people, and now they’re threatening her. I didn’t know who else to turn to.

Sister : *tearfully* I’m so sorry for dragging you into this. I looked up to you, Amayra, and now I’m in such a mess.

Amayra felt a surge of compassion. She knew she couldn’t ignore someone in need, especially someone who had once looked up to her.

Amayra : *calmly* We’ll help you. But first, we need to understand exactly what’s going on. Tell us everything.

As they listened to the sister's story, Amayra and Gojo formulated a plan to help her out of the dangerous situation. They knew it wouldn’t be easy, but they were determined to ensure her safety.

Gojo : *with determination* We’ll get through this together. We’ll make sure you’re safe.

The coming weeks were challenging, filled with tense moments and careful planning. Amayra and Gojo’s resolve and support for each other only grew stronger as they navigated the complexities of the situation. They worked tirelessly, involving the necessary authorities and using their resources to protect the sister.
