Copyright© 2021. All rights reserved. The trees swayed ominously, their interwoven limbs resembling outstretched arms beneath the ethereal ghost moon. Growls emanated from the darkness, just as she had suspected. The fierce wind lashed at the hood of her raven hoodie, wrenching it from its ties, leaving her vulnerable to the freezing winter assault. Fear surged, each breath creating a visible fog. Her heart pounded in her chest, but she refused to give in. She had come too far to let fear overcome her. Summoning every ounce of strength, she sprinted down the dark, unknown path, urging her feet to carry her to a mysterious and enigmatic destination. She would not remain tethered to the stranger her father had forced her to marry while she had been fighting for her life in a hospital bed. How could he have done such a thing to her? Her hatred for him intensified tenfold... The relentless pursuit abruptly halted, her voice releasing a high-pitched yelp at the unexpected sight. Before her stood her rejuvenated nightmare, her husband. She was not the least bit frightened, but the man had pledged to her father that he would stay married to her for eternity. "Seems like we're destined to be shrouded in this ominous darkness," he grinned, his smile dripping with menace, sending shivers down her spine. The desperate words she willed her mind to say failed to escape. Her retort of "Whatever, Police Officer" deserted her.

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
