Part Four: The Secret of Rahma and the Silent Sacrifice (Hope tinged with Fear) The Silence of Safe Confession Under the weight of emotional exhaustion, and amid his feeling of an urgent need to be freed from the secret, Mustafa wrote a long and detailed letter to Rahma, revealing everything: about the moment when his appreciation for Rose turned into love, about his silent pain because of her lover (Ihab), and about his fear of losing her. When he confesses to her. He concluded his touching letter with the words: "I love her, Mercy. I love Rose so much that I am but a happy shadow in her life." Mustafa waited for Rahma's response with a little fear because he did not want her to be upset by his words, but Rahma responded with a calm and different message: "Oh Mustafa, I have been seeing this conflict in you for a while. What you are saying now is your secret, and it will remain between us. I do not want to lose the brother I chose. Most importantly, I do not want to separate me from my sister who truly loves you. Let me help you with this burden... I promise that I will be wiser and help you... Poetry Mustafa With tremendous relief. Rahma became his secret partner and bridge keeper between him and Rose, giving his torment a safe outlet. The Great Sacrifice: Advice Against the Heart Not long after Mustafa's secret confession to Rahma, Rose announced a new emotional storm. Her conversation with Mustafa and Rahma was tense; She had a big fight with Ihab, because he was no longer what she knew him to be. The relationship seemed in danger of collapsing. And she said: "I can't take it anymore, Mustafa," Rose said with a heavy heart. "It has reached a dead end. Maybe we should end everything now." He didn't care about me at all. At that moment, Mustafa felt his heart stop and then burst into flames. This was his golden opportunity, the barrier collapsing in front of him. He could only be silent or encourage her to move away, and the way would be open for him. But his love for Rose was so pure that he could not be opportunistic. Her happiness, even with someone else, was more important than his temporary happiness. Mustafa breathed Deeply, while his fingers were trembling over the keyboard. He wrote slowly, as if each word drained a part of his soul: "Rose, stop talking like that. Ihab truly loves you, and I know you love him too. Relationships are not easy, and distances create misunderstandings. Don't abandon someone just because of a quarrel. Please, talk to him again, give him a chance, and work things out between you. Don't be in a hurry to lose love." This was a hidden confession of a different kind; a confession of the extent of his love for her and his preference for her happiness over his torn heart. Rose closed the conversation after promising to listen to his advice, while Rahma, who knew the secret, read the outgoing message, and felt the extent of the sacrifice her new "brother" was making. The earthquake of revelation: Rose's separation from Ihab, despite Mustafa's sincere advice, did not Love written in words can stop reality. After a few days of Rose's miserable attempts to mend the relationship and endure Ehab's actions. The devastating news came. One evening, the group received a message from Rose. She told Rahma and Mustafa that she had broken up with Ihab and that she needed to get away for a while. After attempts by Mustafa to check on her, Mustafa knew that Rose needed him more than ever before. Specifically, Mustafa felt a blow. Double: sick joy at the end of the Great Barrier, and deep sadness at Rose's pain. Ihab has finished the equation, and the path is open to him, but it is a path tinged with caution and pain. Mustafa realized that this was an opportunity that might not be repeated, but it was a "fatal" opportunity. If he came forward now, his feelings might seem opportunistic, and he might break Rose's trust in him at her weakest moment. The fateful decision: A brother, then a lover. Mustafa was sitting Alone in his room, he realizes that his role is not to be the expected lover now, but rather to be the partner she can rely on in moments of collapse. Mustafa made a difficult decision: he would hide his love more, and return to the role of a friendly brother, but with new intentions. And certainly this time, with Rahma knowing about it. Mustafa opened Rose's chat window and wrote her a simple message, coming from his heart but devoid of any emotional hint: "Hello Rose. I know you're going through a difficult time. Remember, I'm not just here for the anime, I'm here for you. You are my most beloved friend and sister and I love talking to her. I will stay awake for you, no matter the time difference. Forever." Mustafa sent the message, then put the phone aside waiting for her response, which would determine his fate. This moment was the biggest bet. Will Rose open her heart to him now as a brother, or will she begin to see something else in him? End of Part Four. Follow us with Part Five.
