Emilia, with her wild blonde hair and fierce spirit, lived in a house where shadows clung to the walls. Her father's rage was a tempest that swept through their home, leaving bruises on her skin and scars on her heart. Her mother, a fragile bird with broken wings, could only watch silently, her love trapped behind fear. She was lonely most of the time , she didn't show her pain to anyone she just swallowed it .
And then there was Charlotte, her neighbor across the dusty courtyard. Her mother's disdain was a bitter brew, and Charlotte sipped from that cup daily. She carried the weight of her mother's disappointment like a stone lodged in her chest. But Charlotte had a secret weapon: empathy. She sensed Emilia's pain, saw the bruises hidden beneath long sleeves, and decidedto be her silent ally.
Their friendship bloomed like the bougainvillea that climbed the walls. They whispered secrets under moonlight skies, their laughter a rebellion against the darkness that threatened to consume them. When Emilia's tears fell, Charlotte wiped them away, promising that one day they'd escape this suffocating place.
Years passed, and life carried them far from Tunisia. In the bustling streets of Madrid, Emilia became "Cipher", a hacker with nimble fingers and a heart encased in firewalls. She danced through cyberspace, stealing from the corrupt and exposing their secrets.And Charlotte? She transformed into "Dr. Charlotte Dupont", a psychologist who mended fractured minds. Her office overlooked the sea, and she listened to the waves as she listened to her patients. But her own wounds remained unhealed, the echoes of her mother's scorn haunting her dreams. Emilia's brother's upcoming wedding forced them to returna reluctant pilgrimage to the past.
When Emilia received the wedding invitation, she knew it was time to face the ghosts they'd left behind. Charlotte agreed, her therapist's mask slipping as she confessed her own fears. Together, they boarded a plane back to Tunisia, their shared history waiting like an old friend.They were afraid and ecxited at the same time , now they are older and stronger . they thought nothing will break them down as long as they are together .
Emilia was dependent on Charlotte. They were sisters, even if they were not related by blood. Charlotte was Emilia's saver and Emilia was like a daughter to charlotte. She was taking care of here since they were kids.
They packed their things and went to the airoport. Now they are in the plane ; As the minarets of Tunis came into view, Emilia's pulse quickened. She wondered if her father still roared like a thunderstorm, if her mother had found her voice. And Charlotte? Would her mother's eyes still hold that icy disdain?
They are here ! Charlotte noticed that Emilia's hands are shaking , she grabbed them , hold them tightly and told her :"Hey, everything's going to be okay , now i'm with you . I'll never let them hurt you anymore mi tulipán amarillo"
In the narrow streets, they retraced their childhood steps. The jasmine still bloomed, and memories whispered from every corner. They stood before their old homes—the toxic cocoons that had shaped them. Emilia's brother, now a man, greeted them with tears in his eyes. He'd carried guilt for leaving them behind.
And so, in the land of olives and ancient tales, Emilia and Charlotte confronted their past. They peeled back layers of pain, stitched together frayed bonds, and found forgiveness in each other's eyes. The scars remained, but they no longer defined them.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the courtyard, Emilia whispered to Charlotte, "We survived, didn't we ?" " Yes mi cariño , as i promised" Said Charlotte with a kind smile while hugging her bestie , Emilia ...
And so, in the heart of Tunisia, where jasmine blooms and memories linger, two girls—now women—held hands and stepped into their future.
