🔥"Finally, Iman tells Shayla the truth about himself and Delicia."😱
Shayla:
You’ve been quiet all night. Like… scary quiet.
What’s going on?
Iman:
I’ve been trying to figure out how to say this without blowing everything up.
Shayla:
That sentence alone just blew everything up.
Say it.
Iman:
Shayla… before I met you, my life wasn’t clean. It wasn’t simple.
And Delicia—she wasn’t just someone I used to know.
Shayla:
…Iman.
What does that mean?
Iman:
It means I lied by omission.
And every day I didn’t tell you, it got heavier.
Shayla:
So tell me now.
Please don’t make me guess.
Iman:
Delicia and I were together for five years.
Shayla:
Five—
Okay. That’s not great, but that’s not exactly—
Iman:
We were engaged.
Shayla:
…
What?
Iman:
Yeah.
Engaged. Rings, plans, families involved. The whole thing.
Shayla:
You told me she was “someone from your past.”
You made her sound like a footnote.
Iman:
Because I was afraid if I told you the truth, you’d walk away before you ever really knew me.
Shayla:
And now I’m finding out after I fell for you.
Iman:
That wasn’t the plan.
I swear to you, that wasn’t the plan.
Shayla:
Then what was the plan, Iman?
Iman:
To protect what we were building.
To make sure my past didn’t poison it.
Shayla:
You don’t protect something by lying to it.
Iman:
I know.
I know that now.
Shayla:
Why did you and Delicia break up?
Iman:
Because I wasn’t honest with myself back then either.
I stayed because it was safe. Because it made sense on paper.
But I was slowly disappearing inside that relationship.
Shayla:
And she knows about me?
Iman:
Yes.
Shayla:
Since when?
Iman:
Since the night she showed up at the café.
Shayla:
That was her?!
Iman:
I didn’t expect to see her.
I froze. And instead of telling you the truth, I chose silence.
Shayla:
So every smile that night…
Every “it’s nothing”…
You were carrying this?
Iman:
I was terrified.
Shayla:
Of what?
Losing me?
Iman:
Of proving that I don’t deserve you.
Shayla:
You don’t get to decide that for me.
Iman:
You’re right.
And that’s why I’m telling you now—even if it costs me everything.
Shayla:
Is there anything still going on between you and her?
Iman:
No.
What we had is over. Completely.
What scared me wasn’t my feelings for her…
It was how real my feelings for you became.
Shayla:
You should’ve trusted me with that.
Iman:
I should have.
And I’m sorry doesn’t feel big enough, but it’s all I’ve got.
Shayla:
I need time.
Iman:
I’ll give you all the time you need.
Shayla:
Because right now, I don’t know if I’m hurt…
or angry…
or just scared that I don’t actually know the man I fell for.
Iman:
If you walk away, I’ll understand.
But if you stay…
I promise you’ll never have to ask me for the truth again.
Shayla:
…You really messed this up.
Iman:
I know.
Shayla:
But you finally told me.
And that has to count for something.
Iman:
It counts for everything to me.
Shayla:
I need you to understand something, Iman.
It’s not just that you were engaged.
Iman:
Then tell me. I’m listening.
Shayla:
It’s that you looked me in the eyes and let me believe I was crazy for feeling something was off.
Iman:
I never meant to gaslight you.
Shayla:
Intent doesn’t erase impact.
Iman:
…You’re right.
Shayla:
I trusted you with the softest parts of me.
And you stood there holding a truth that could’ve shattered me—and chose comfort instead.
Iman:
I chose fear.
And it cost me your trust.
Shayla:
Do you still love her?
Iman:
No.
But I respect what she meant to my life.
And I hate that my silence made her a ghost between us.
Shayla:
That ghost is loud, Iman.
Iman:
Then let me face it.
Let me face you.
Shayla:
Why now?
Iman:
Because I saw you packing your books tonight.
Not running—preparing.
And I realized I was about to lose you quietly… the same way I lost myself before.
Shayla:
I wasn’t planning to disappear.
I just needed air.
Iman:
And I should’ve given it to you—without secrets attached.
Shayla:
I don’t know if I can go back to what we were.
Iman:
Then don’t.
Let’s start somewhere honest—even if it’s fragile.
Shayla:
You’re asking me to rebuild on a crack.
Iman:
I’m asking you to decide if I’m worth the repair.
(A long silence. Shayla exhales slowly.)
Shayla:
I loved the man I thought you were.
Iman:
I’m still him.
Just… flawed.
Just real.
Shayla:
Real hurts.
Iman:
So does pretending.
Shayla:
I need one thing if I’m going to even consider staying.
Iman:
Anything.
Shayla:
No more shadows.
If Delicia texts, calls, shows up—
I hear it from you. Immediately.
Iman:
You won’t hear it secondhand. Ever.
Shayla:
And if I wake up tomorrow and decide I can’t do this?
Iman:
I’ll let you go with honesty instead of excuses.
(She nods, eyes glassy but steady.)
Shayla:
I’m not forgiving you tonight.
Iman:
I’m not asking you to.
Shayla:
But… I’m not walking away either.
(Iman lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding.)
Iman:
Thank you—for giving me a chance I didn’t earn.
Shayla:
Don’t thank me yet.
This is the hardest part.
Iman:
Then I’ll stay.
For all of it.
(She turns toward the door, pauses.)
Shayla:
Iman?
Iman:
Yeah?
Shayla:
If you ever make me doubt my intuition again…
I won’t ask questions.
I’ll just leave.
Iman:
Fair.
(She exits. The door closes softly—but not like an ending. Like a warning.)
