🌍 Aziza
Kinshasa, late 1990s, where rumba guitars bleed into the night and whispers of war drift in from the East.
Aziza, the daughter of a weary tailor, carries dreams bigger than her crowded streets. One cassette tape, one song-Josky Kiambukuta's Aziza,pulls her into the orbit of Benoît, a quiet music seller whose love feels like refuge.
But in a city trembling under soldiers' boots and the promises of powerful men, Aziza must choose between tenderness and survival. Love here is never simple, it is a gamble, a wound, a song that lingers long after the last note fades.
A story of love, betrayal, nostalgia, and the bittersweet rhythms of Congo, told in the heartbeat of rumba.

Anne Orevilo never believed in fate until she met Kieth "Kit²" Yaniham - a quiet musician with eyes that seemed to see beyond time. Their love began with laughter, late-night melodies, and dreams of forever. But forever, it seemed, had other plans. When a tragic accident takes Kieth's life, Anne's world falls silent... until the day his unfinished song reappears - A Piece of You. As Anne performs the song that once belonged to both of them, she starts to hear and feel things that defy logic - a familiar strum, a whispered voice, the presence of the man she lost. Each note uncovers pieces of Kieth's secret - his visions of the future, his choice to die for her, and the message he left hidden in their melody. Now, through music, Anne learns that some loves are written not in time - but in sound, in memory, in eternity. Because even death can't silence a heart that beats for someone who left behind... a piece of you. --- Genre: Romantic Tragedy | Supernatural | Musical Drama Themes: Love after loss, fate, sacrifice, eternal connection Inspired by: The song that keeps two souls together - even beyond life, Nathaniel Constantin, and my dear skylight. ---Terminé
MANAL
A few minutes into the walk, I heard footsteps shuffling behind me. I tensed up and halted in my tracks. My heart began to pound violently in my chest. I felt too afraid to even do anything. I stayed glued to my spot, but that didn't stop the footsteps from approaching. Mustering all of the courage left in me, I spun around and to my utmost horror, two men - more like thugs were standing just few inches away from me. Ya Allah, please protect me! I don't want to die like this. I spun back around and started walking, my pace increasing rapidly. "Hey! Where the f*** do you think you're going, bit**" One of the men slurred. By the tone of his voice, I could tell he was tipsy or high. The rate of my fear intensified. MANAL ❤ ©2019Terminé
