Layla Ahmed is a soft-hearted, faith-driven young woman who believes that love should be gentle, intentional, and guided by Allah. From the pressures of university life to the emotional uncertainty of NYSC in Abuja, she walks through life carrying her prayers, her dreams, and a heart that has been broken more than once. After months of emotional confusion with her first love, Muhsin, who left her in silence and uncertainty, Layla turns completely to Allah, praying, journaling, and healing in quiet solitude at her aunt's home in Wuse. She tries to move forward, yet the ache of unanswered love still lingers. Then fate intervenes. A tragic accident at a café brings her face-to-face with Hareef; a handsome, dark caramel-skinned cinematographer, admired Abuja influencer whose presence feels like calm and destiny in human form. He saves her, takes her to the hospital, and unknowingly walks into her world through her lost diary, where he learns of her prayers, pain, and secret admiration for him. What begins as chance slowly turns into connection, late-night conversations, unspoken feelings, and a love that feels written in dua. But just as Layla begins to trust again, a shocking truth unravels, Muhsin, the man who broke her heart, is Hareef's close friend. Misunderstandings, betrayal, and fear push Layla away. She retreats to Nasarawa for her best friend Ummi's traditional Arewa wedding, hoping distance will heal her heart. But destiny has other plans. Hareef arrives at the wedding not as a stranger, but as a guest of the groom. Under the glow of Hausa drums, alkyabba, and wedding prayers, truths are revealed, apologies are made, and hearts are tested. In the end, Hareef chooses Layla not secretly, not casually, but honorably, by standing before her parents. Will Layla finally trust love again? Can faith truly heal a wounded heart? And is Hareef the answer to her whispered prayers?
