"I won't hesitate to drive this spear through your heart if you do." He warns. ~•~• Wanga is a story about, Wanga, the daughter of the head man of the tribe of Elemiah.

Talking about obedience to an African child

In the heart of Nairobi, two worlds collide in the most unexpected way. Zawadi Njeri is a free-spirited children's book author who believes in living life barefoot and on "divine timing." Her days are filled with hiking forest trails, chasing butterflies, and writing stories that nurture the soul. She's spontaneous, soulful, and utterly unpredictable. Chuka Okonkwo is a Nigerian chef with a laser focus on routine, precision, and planning every second of his life. Recently relocated to Nairobi to open a cutting-edge pan-African fusion restaurant, he treats time as currency and order as sacred. When a chance encounter in Karura Forest sparks a clash of personalities, their worlds continue to bump into each other - from a kids' menu collaboration to food expos and poetry nights. Through laughter, arguments, and unexpected moments, Zawadi and Chuka discover that love isn't something you can schedule or plan. "Chopsticks & Compass" is a heartfelt romantic comedy drama about the messy, beautiful balance between chaos and control, spirituality and structure, and the magic that happens when opposites truly attract. Set against vibrant Nairobi backdrops - from lush hiking trails to bustling cafés - this story celebrates African culture, food, nature, and above all, the unpredictable journey of love. #ChopsticksAndCompass #RomanticComedy #AfricanRomance #NairobiLoveStory #KenyanAuthor #NigerianChef #OppositesAttract #LoveBeyondLogic #SpiritualLove #FusionLoveStory #ChildrenBookAuthor #PanAfricanCuisine #ForestRomance #SlowLove #ModernRomance #WattpadRomance #AfricanCulture #LoveAndFood #RomComDrama #SoulfulRomance

There is nothing you can do about it" Sarki Abusadiq said gritting his teeth. It's not like he asked Yarima to slit his wrist. He was making a big deal out of nothing and it was irritating. "Of all the conditions you could attach to me, you chose her? When you know I had someone all this while. She's not even Royal" he stated clenching his fists. He couldn't beat up his father of course. It just gave him an inner strength. "You know how this goes. My father gave me a condition, so did his father, and the father after that one. That's how it works. It's either this, or Azeem takes the throne." Sarki Abusadiq said adjusting his turban. The dresser made the turban too sketchy today. He ought to get rid of it before he gets a headache. "I've done everything you've ever asked of me. I've never disrespected you. I've never done anything stupid or wrong like Azeem. Why are you doing this to me father?" he asked trying to see if a little sadness could weaken his father's choice of condition. "Young man! Man up. You're a King! Sacrifices are meant to be made. Go out. I need to rest before the council comes. Choose wisely " Sarki Abusadiq said shooing his eldest son. Yarima left the throne room with slumped shoulders. This was something he never thought would happen. How could his father do this. Well he will make a choice! A choice that would surely work in his favor!
