Her life savior came in the form of an NYSC Corp member named Dr Kurfi. Her innocent heart couldn't resist throbbing a bit at his sight, nor his kindness and when he smiled calling her 'Yar Fulani'? Rayhan's brittle heart shrunk and she was instantly enthralled! She called him 'Dan Bature' because to her, no man has ever looked this handsome! Agony fell upon her life so strong she fancied her death. And what her heart once felt for Nameer, it turned into sheer hatred churning her insides.
