Before we ever met✔️
What happens when a teenage girl, freshly grieving her father, is forced to grow up, shift cities, and start life all over again-from the classroom to her confidence? Set in the northern heart of Nigeria, this is the journey of Jawahir-a quiet, who navigates university life with a strong sense of family, a tight circle of best friends, and a love for soft things-like routine, reflection, and whispered prayers between lectures. But just when she's getting used to school life, a late-night scroll on Instagram changes everything. She finds him-a gym model, far from her reach, but somehow carved into her heart. A crush turns into a secret obsession. For 4 years, she watches him from afar, never speaking to him, yet praying about him. This isn't your typical love story. It's a slow burn wrapped in hijabs, lecture notes, girls' group chats, and the sweet ache of young adulthood.
