Letter Back to Nely – A Story of Love Across Two Worlds

By Mbida Mbida Camille

Years after Nely's heartfelt Letter to Passy shook open old wounds, Passy finally breaks her silence. In this intimate and unflinching reply, she tells her side of the story — the one left between his lines.

From their first meeting in Yaoundé to the quiet collapse of their life together, Passy revisits the love they shared, the children they raised, and the cultural walls that slowly rose between them. She speaks of the joy and exhaustion of loving in two languages, the sting of whispered insults, the invisible weight of tribal loyalties, and the silent wars fought in the kitchen, in the bedroom, and in the streets.

With raw honesty and tender defiance, Passy's voice travels across years and across worlds, confronting the truths Nely could not see and the pain she could no longer carry alone.

This is more than a love story.

It is a testimony about identity, belonging, and the cost of crossing the lines that history has drawn between us.
