Halima Aliyu's style is pretty simple: Live life to the fullest and be successful while at it. She deems her life pretty simple; she's not looking for a husband, her salon is going along nicely and she can eat sharwarma anytime she wants.
That is the goal!
But, what is peace of mind for a woman who's mother-in-law is the bane in her existence? Dealing with her and her many directives is enough to turn our girl's hair grey.
What then happens when she meets two little angels who matchmake her with their daddy, and her mother-in-law's directives can't be followed.
Is her rose colored life about to turn grey?

𝓐𝓼𝓶𝓪 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the model daughter of Abdulrahman and Alma Murad. She's elegant, composed and carefully shaped to meet her parent's expectations. Every decision - her career, her friends, even her fiancé has been curated to preserve the perfect image. Asma lives to please and has never failed to do so. 𝓐𝓶𝓲𝓻 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the exact opposite - reckless, inconsistent and a constant headache to the family. Scandals seem to follow him, and his charm rarely covers the mess he leaves behind. To Asma, he embodies everything she was trained not to be. When the family announces their engagement, she feels sentenced and he feels trapped. Their first reaction is denial; there's no way they could ever fit together. Yet the more they clash, the more they expose the cracks in each other's carefully guarded masks. Is this the story of two people destined to break one another, or of enemies triggering a love neither saw coming?
Accepting You
Asiya was cruising through life, totally okay with carrying more weight than she could. Or at least, that's what she wanted everyone to think. Yusuf was cool and supposedly composed, committed to working hard. Or at least, that was the plan until Asiya bumped into him. When they first met as classmates, age and circumstance kept them apart. But when Yusuf spotted Asiya again, almost five years later, he wasted no time confessing his admiration-kicking off a marriage full of trials, insecurities, and other forces determined to tear them apart.

MAYSA
Copyright © 2025 Maysa has always lived between worlds - the daughter of an Arab father and a Nigerian mother, raised in a home that looked perfect from the outside but was already breaking behind closed doors. From an early age, she learns what it means to be too much of one thing and never enough of another. After her father's death, the space between those worlds only widens. Rejected where she expects comfort and misunderstood where she seeks belonging, Maysa grows up carrying quiet losses, complicated family ties, and questions she's never been allowed to ask out loud. As she steps into adulthood, she is forced to confront what she's been taught about love, loyalty, faith, and womanhood - and what she actually believes. In a world where tradition speaks loudly and girls are expected to endure silently, she must decide who she is beyond survival. Then she meets Faruk - steady, patient, and unexpectedly gentle with the parts of her she keeps hidden. With him, Maysa begins to question whether love has to be painful, and whether softness can exist without loss. Maysa is a coming-of-age story rooted in culture, family, and faith. It explores identity, belonging, and the slow, fragile process of choosing yourself without losing where you come from. Soft, emotional, and deeply human, this is a story about a girl learning that strength doesn't always look like resistance - sometimes it looks like becoming.

From Aliya to Hafiz
"And We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you ˹not then˺ be patient?" The first time I read this ayah in surah Furqaan, I had no idea it defined my future so clearly. ********** Hafiz Hakimi;- A 26-year-old Nigerian-American who grew up believing those who worshipped something they couldn't see were crazy motherfuckers. But it wasn't like he would go out of his way to tell them his opinion. His life was perfect, a routine of work, party, fuck, sleep, and repeat. His only source of annoyance was the woman whose vagina he popped out of, but even she was very far away from him. Life was good, everything was great. Until one fateful trip to Nigeria, his home country, set off a tornado that wrecked his mundane to pieces. Aliya Suleiman;- A 22-year-old hafiza whose only goal was to finish studying medicine, the devil's course. She only planned to get married after making her first million dollars, a feat her best friend Jasra said was impossible. She wasn't offended of course, because she never planned to get married. And if she did, it would be to someone more pious than her, mature and respectful; indulging. But then the one person she couldn't say no to begged her with tears in her eyes to marry her son. She was the woman who raised her and provided for her mother and her. There was no way she could refuse. It was the worst thing to have ever happened to both of them. A sudden downpour on an otherwise clear sunny day. He wasn't anywhere near the kind of man she imagined herself with. She was the woman raised by the person he hated the most. It was basically a recipe for disaster. She saw him as a way to repay a favour. He wanted to use her to get revenge. And as such, the stage was set and the curtains lifted. ___ ⚠️⚠️⚠️: UPDATES ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS ___ 🚨 This is entirely a work of fiction.
