[MANES] LYRICS & YOU by NURULJANNAH USOP

Nur Edlynn, a plus-sized girl, has always been in love with her half-Malay, half-British best friend, Tengku Aqeel Zayyan, ever since she was eight. When she was 16 years old, she was confident that Aqeel had feelings for her too. She decided to write a love letter, confessing her feelings to Aqeel before he moved to London. 

However, he decided to cut her off right after Edlynn sent the letter. Edlynn was dejected and disappointed. She was deeply tormented by Aqeel’s ghosting.

After five years without contact, Aqeel returns, claiming to rekindle their friendship.

“Listen, about the love letter, let's just forget about it. It was in the past. Let's start fresh, shall we? Don't let that love letter ruin our friendship. I’m sorry it took me five years to talk to you about this.”
 – Aqeel

Things get complicated when Edlynn’s best friend, Aleesha, falls for Aqeel too.

“Let’s make a promise that none of us will pursue Aqeel.” – Aleesha

“Even if he likes one of us?” – Ed

“If it can ruin our friendship, neither of us should pursue him.” – Aleesha

That’s not all to Edlynn’s story. When it comes to love, friendship, and family, one can never be definite with the ending.
