A noticeable change
A month later, the changes in him were unmistakable. Even his classmates began to take notice. “Hey, you’ve been different lately,” one of them remarked. He simply shrugged and replied, “Yeah, I guess I’ve realized a few things.” Then, he turned to me, his eyes filled with genuine remorse. “I’m really sorry for how I acted before,” he said, his sincerity catching me completely off guard.

Acceptance and gratitude
I accepted his apology with a steady nod, recognizing the change in him. “Apology accepted,” I said, feeling the burden of old grievances lighten slightly. Later, his father approached me after school, his eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you for giving him a chance,” he said, extending a warm handshake. His sincerity was palpable, and in that moment, a sense of mutual respect quietly began to take root.
