Ayla, a narcissistic social media influencer, will stop at nothing to reach 1 million followers, even if it means hurting others. Despite her struggles with an eating disorder, she pushes forward, fueled by her ambition. 

When her Nana urges her to visit Nigeria, Ayla reluctantly agrees despite her hate and disgust for Nigeria. She saw this as an opportunity to boost her online presence by helping poor Nigerian kids.

But little does she know, the land of Afrobeat and jollof rice has its own plans for her. Amidst the chaos and the noise, she'll stumble upon a love that will shake her to her core, challenge her biases, and awaken a part of her she never knew existed.

From the depths of her soul to the heights of her faith, she rose. After years of spiritual seeking and self-discovery, she found her true purpose in the world. 

And then, she met him, the love who would walk alongside her on her journey, and cherish her for who she had become.

"Just like the yin has a drop of the yang, the yang has a drop of yin, Ayla, not everyone is perfect and you don't have to to be perfect for me." He smiled 

"The drop of yang signifies a bit of goodness while the drop of yin signifies a bit of evil, Sultan, I want the yang in me to spread." 

She's @Ayla.xx
                His Sultana..

WEIGHTS OF THE HEART

26 parts Ongoing

Aisha Aminu Babangida has spent her life searching for a passion she can truly call her own. Growing up in a household that stifled her choices, she never had the freedom to explore what she loved. Worse, relentless body shaming from her stepmother and those around her left her feeling trapped in her own skin. "You're too skinny!" "Do you even eat at all? "I swear you gained weight yesterday, but today you look..." And her personal favorite from her future husband. "...all bones." People claimed to envy her body, but Aisha knew better. What was there to be jealous of? Struggling with an eating disorder, anxiety and depression, she makes a bold decision; to take control of her life by joining the gym. Her weight gain journey was anything but easy, but she is determined to rewrite her own story. Khalid Muhammad Bugaje has only ever had one goal; to live up to his father's legacy. Raised on stories of power, discipline, and honor, he knew from a young age that failure was not an option. As the son of a highly respected General, expectations weighed on him heavier than any armor. But when his father suggests that he marry a woman he cannot stand, Khalid finds himself in a battle unlike any other. One that has nothing to do with war and everything to do with the heart. And for the first time in his life, he loses.
