she wanted love. She found something that changed her forever.
Habeebah Abdulqadir never thought love could be this complicated.
A Muslim girl from Lagos, she balances faith, friendship, and her love for basketball while dreaming of finding her own prince charming. She's quiet but bold when she needs to be, the kind of girl who doesn't seek attention but somehow always gets noticed.
Everything changes when she crosses paths with the three most popular boys on campus-rich, confident, and the stars of the basketball court. Suddenly, she's the girl everyone is talking about.
At first, it feels like a dream: the attention, the laughter, the late-night calls. But as the line between love and desire starts to blur, Habeebah finds herself caught in a web of charm, jealousy, and secrets too deep to escape.
Because sometimes, love doesn't come wrapped in roses and promises.
Sometimes, it comes with a warning you don't hear until it's too late.
"NOT MINE TO KEEP" is a heartfelt Nigerian campus story about faith, friendship, betrayal, basketball and how not everything lasts forever.
