She explained that their bond started in their neighborhood and strengthened through university, making the betrayal particularly painful.
According to her account, her younger brother, now earning an income, caught the friend’s eye during a visit to her school, and she began quietly pursuing him.
“She would tell him things like, ‘You’re so grown, give me your number so I can check your status.’ I had no idea, as he’s only 20 years old. Behind my back, they began seeing each other and being intimate. She would even tell me she was going to visit someone, unaware it was my brother,” she said.
The truth emerged when she saw a photo on her friend’s phone showing them together at her brother’s home.
When questioned, her brother claimed it was the friend who initiated the relationship. Though upset, she chose to let them continue seeing each other.
The situation escalated when her friend later appeared with a swollen face, alleging that her brother had cheated on her, even though she had been exclusively involved with him.
The story has sparked reactions on social media, with one commenter stating, “I can’t believe your friend would do this after 27 years!” Another added, “It’s not just about age; trust matters.”
