A FAMILIAR STRANGER Four years ago, Arian Haitham Garba disappeared without a goodbye. No call. No explanation. Nothing. Jannah Aliyu Chanchangi had no choice but to move on. She buried the questions, continued with medical school, built a life for herself, and learned to live with the fact that the boy she loved was simply gone. Until he comes back. Older. Different. A military officer now-and somehow more infuriating than she remembers. But Arian hasn't returned just to say hello. He has come back with one intention: to make Jannah his wife. The problem? Jannah hasn't forgiven him. And she's certainly not about to make it easy for him. Between family chaos, old feelings, unanswered questions, and a love that never completely disappeared, Jannah must decide whether the stranger standing in front of her is still the boy she once knew-or someone she has to learn all over again. Because sometimes the person who feels most familiar can become the greatest stranger of all. So come and dive into the lives of Jannah Aliyu Chanchangi and Arian Haitham Garba🤎🧸📚

Zulaiha Abdallah is a final-year medical student at Nile University, Abuja, living with a past the world refuses to let go. She once loved the wrong man-an abusive relationship kept hidden from everyone. One night, while trying to protect herself, he died. The court ruled it self-defence, but society passed its own judgement. Cleared by law, yet condemned by people, Zulaiha is forced to live with labels such as "A woman who lost her virginity before marriage" whispers, and the stigma of not fitting into society's idea of a "pure" woman. During a visit home for Eid in Kano, her life takes another turn when she is pushed into an arranged marriage meant to settle debts and repair damaged reputations-not to bring love or healing. Her soon-to-be husband, Umar Al Muqtadir, is a respected and successful man with a past as dark as hers. Years ago, an affair led to a child he never got to raise, his lover commited sucide, and a promise he made to never forget her and to find his child. Two broken souls. One forced marriage. Secrets buried deep. As the truth about the past begins to surface- What happens when Umar finds out his child was killed by his girlfriend- about death, guilt, and a child lost "Who was this girlfriend?" -Zulaiha must face the question that has followed her all her life: Is this marriage her punishment... or her only chance at survival?
