Raised in a household where warmth was scarce and expectations ran high, her mother's harsh words and cold heart left scars deeper than anyone could see.

Gentle, patient, and quietly understanding, he sees the pain she tries to hide and offers her something she's never truly known-respect. As time passes, Aisha begins to question everything she believed about love, marriage, and herself. In the most unlikely place, she finds not just safety, but the beginning of healing. Aisha's Promise is a powerful story of resilience, love found in unexpected places, and the courage to rewrite your destiny-even when the world tries to write it for you.

In the end, Mr. Al-Arab and I is a journey of personal growth, forgiveness, and the profound realization that sometimes, love emerges where we least expect it-through conflict, vulnerability, and the willingness to evolve together.

Mariya...... In the depths of obscurity, a story unfolds. A tale of a girl who exists in the shadows, unseen and unheard. Her name is Mariya, a whisper in the wind, a faint echo in the silence. As I weave this narrative, I invite you to step into Mariya's world, a realm of perpetual twilight, where the lines between visibility and invisibility blur. At home, she's a ghostly presence, hovering on the periphery of her family's lives. Her parents, lost in their own worlds, barely acknowledge her existence. Her siblings, wrapped in their own cocoons, ignore her with practiced ease. In the halls of learning, Mariya haunts the shadows, unseen and unnoticed. Teachers glance over her, classmates brush past her, and friends... well, she has none. She's the quiet one, the invisible one, the one who disappears into the crowd. But what if I told you that Mariya's invisibility is more than just a feeling? What if I revealed that she's discovered a secret, a power that lets her fade into the shadows, to become one with the darkness? And what if I hinted that Mariya's not just invisible, but also waiting... waiting for the day when she'll be seen, heard, and understood? Waiting for the day when she'll emerge from the shadows and shine? That day is coming. And when it does, everything will change. Join me on this journey into the world of Mariya, where the invisible becomes visible, and the shadows come alive. Highest ranks : #9 Islamic love story #4 Hausa novels #9 arewa
