When the past knocks
<p><br/></p><h1>*Episode 25 </h1><h2> When the Past Knocks Twice*</h2><p><br/></p><p>Aisha’s phone buzzed for the fourth time that morning. She ignored it. It wasn’t Denniem. And right now, anyone that wasn’t Denniem didn’t matter.</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, Zara stood at the hallway mirror, fixing her lip gloss. Her return wasn’t just dramatic — it was planned. She had transferred from a university in South Africa after a "scandal" she refused to talk about. The whole campus buzzed with the news that she was now in the same department as Aisha. What no one knew, though, was that Zara and Denniem had history — a deep one.</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha walked past Zara without a word. Zara smiled slyly. “You still keeping him on a leash?” she asked sweetly.</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha turned slowly. “Try him, Zara. Just try him.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Zara raised her hands innocently. “Relax. I’m just here to study… or maybe shake a few things up.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, Denniem, caught between lectures and lingering memories of Zara, felt torn. Zara had once been his first. His fire. Aisha? A new beginning. But the past never stays buried, and Zara wasn’t here for peace.</p><p><br/></p><p>Later that evening, Aisha got a text from an unknown number.</p><p><br/></p><p>*“Hope he told you about Cape Town. He’s good with secrets.”*</p><p>Her chest tightened. She walked straight to Denniem’s room without knocking.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Who is Zara to you?” she demanded.</p><p><br/></p><p>Denniem paused. “She’s... part of a past I wanted to forget.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha’s eyes welled. “Then she’s the future I’ll never accept.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The room fell into thick silence, tension dancing between them like wildfire.</p><p><br/></p><p>But across the hall, Zara smiled.</p><p><br/></p><p>She had only just begun. </p><p><br/></p><p>—</p>
