Ameenarh, a 17 years old girl with big dreams of becoming a Doctor, is suddenly forced by her family to marry Alhaji Buba, a powerful politician in his 60s. The marriage is meant to secure her family's status and wealth, but Ameenarh struggles with the emotional, physical and cultural consequences of being a young bride in a world she never chose. "Ke Ameenarh stop dreaming and go dress up. Alhajin nan is coming with his people this evening." My heart sank. Not again. I looked at the mirror, trying to find the girl who once wanted to save lives. But all I saw was a girl being buried alive - under tradition, under silence, under a name she didn't choose

"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. She has managed to take the little wealth her father had left in this world and has squandered it on herself and her only daughter, Nadiya. Aaliyah's only way out is when Aunty Raliya tries to sell her off to a man who's twice her father's age but she's swept off her feet by another who's done nothing but try to make her happy. Read to know how she struggles to dodge every rock thrown her way and how she manages to reach the top victorious. Follow my Instagram: @Ayeeshatoooo Subscribe to my channel: Ayeeshatoooo
