Love Waves

Maryam Ibrahim, 24, is the poised, brilliant daughter of a wealthy Kano businessman. She's always done everything right: graduated with honors, wore her hijab, avoided scandal, followed tradition. Her engagement to Engineer Abubakar, a quiet, respectful suitor, is arranged-and she accepts it. But inside, her heart is restless. Something is missing.

Everything changes when Khalid Bello returns from abroad.

He's not a prince, not a celebrity-but he's elegant, cultured, and different. He's a self-made architect from Zaria, and when Maryam meets him at a family wedding, their brief conversation awakens feelings she's never allowed herself to feel.

They part ways.

But fate keeps pulling them together-at charity galas, lectures, family visits. Each time, there's tension. Long glances. Words unsaid. Respect... but desire.

Maryam is torn. She's engaged. Her family is watching. Society is harsh. But her emotions are growing uncontrollably. The story becomes a delicate dance of:

Emotional intimacy without touching

Late-night texts that could ruin everything

Silent heartbreaks

Moments alone in the garden, where nothing happens... and yet everything happens

Meanwhile, Abubakar, her fiancé, is cold and unavailable, more interested in his career than her heart. The wedding draws closer. The pressure builds. Her mother is proud. Her sisters are suspicious. And Maryam? She's caught in between duty and desire.

Will she choose a life of quiet comfort - or risk everything for a love that might never be accepted?
