Beyond Asokoro
In the heart of Abuja, where power lives behind guarded gates and every family has a reputation to protect, seventeen-year-old Zarah Abba Chiroma believes the best stories are the ones written by Allah.
Fresh out of secondary school and about to begin her journey as a Law student at Nile University, Zarah is content with her books, her family, and the quiet life she's built.
Until she meets Turad Muhammad Wurno.
Freshly returned from the United Kingdom after completing his PhD in Architecture, Turad is everything Abuja admires-successful, respected, and from a distinguished family. But behind the polished image lies a man caught between family expectations and his own heart.
Everyone assumes he'll marry his cousin, Nayla.
The date is chosen.
The plans begin.
And no one notices that the groom has never said yes.
As secrets unfold, prayers are whispered in the stillness of the night, and hearts are tested, Zarah and Turad discover that not every path is easy-but perhaps the most beautiful stories are the ones that lead us beyond what we thought our lives would be.
Because sometimes, Allah's plan begins where ours ends.
