🦋Featured on The AmbassadorsNG's reading list🦋 We sometimes think we want to disappear, but all we really want is to be found. That is the case with Eshaal Akin, a troubled teenager who struggles through life with nothing going right for her. Growing up distant due to her emotionally detached parents and several personal struggles, she finds it hard to express herself, hence, unable to seek help when need be. When eventually happiness seems to walk into her life in form of two humans, a little help from them, with a touch of love, hope and faith is perceived as all she needs to set things right, if only she lets them in. But some things do not come easy, and perhaps, happiness is one of them. Mayhaps, to search for joy in souls is to find out everyone else is just as broken. And to be another's anchor, one has to as well drown, just like the person who needs to be saved.

His eyes were red, his face lacked the expression of an actual human. He looked fierce, Mother Earth shook, no she wept for what awaited her children. She could not bear it ........ in order to save all she had to claim one. She opened her mouth wide and swallowed her own seed *************************** A story that has been told before, only this time told differently

"Dad?", I screamed as the sharp edge of the knife pierced through his tummy and popped out of his back. His blood splashed all over my body, that's all I could remember. Read to find out what happened

"Sarauniya!" I said almost loudly but not enough for my friend Bilal to hear, "who is she?" "Aaliyah. She's the late Alhaji Mujib's daughter. " Bilal said seeming uninterested with the topic. "Ina gidan su?" I asked, sounding a bit like a crazy stalker. "Ka kamu da ciwon so ko?" He asked as a smile spreads across his face, "They live in Asokoro district. Remember Aunty Shamsiyya? The place isn't far from your habibty's home too." "Ok, thank you. Allah ya maka albarka." "Let me know when to be expecting an invitation card." Hamza said while trying to stifle his laughter but fails woefully and I smack him on his arm as payback, joining him to laugh too. I wanted to follow her and speak to her but I heard the music start, signaling the commencement of Bilal's cousin Nadiya and her groom; Saleem's overpriced dinner party for both families. #WattysNG2020 **** This is Aaliyah's story from grass to grace as she faces obstacles created by her aunt who has done nothing but torture her since her parents death.

Desperate to fit perfectly into each other's life despite their differences, the two turn to those around them for help. Bombarded by their criticism, their rules, their beliefs, their ideas, their standards, their concerns will the couple make it through? Or will they just love and let it go?
