My father died 40 days ago.
Today, his best friend put a ring on my finger.
Alhaji Musa was 25 when he taught me how to ride a bike.
I was 9.
Now he's 34. I'm 19. And he says I'm his _Amanah_ - a trust my father left him before he died.
"Guard her. Marry her. Don't let the world touch her."
That's what Baba made him swear. On the Qur'an.
He says he won't touch me until I finish school.
He says I can say no.
He also says: "I don't lose what Allah trusts me with. Even if you hate me for it."
My mum is crying "Alhamdulillah."
My aunties are posting my business on WhatsApp.
My best friend is typing in all caps: "GIRL THIS IS A CRIME IN 6 STATES."
I'm supposed to say yes at Maghrib.
But am I Baba's daughter... or Alhaji Musa's Amanah?
And is there a difference?

it wasn't my choice
How will you feel when the person you trust breaks your trust? How will you feel when the one who is supposed to love you most calls you a burden? She felt all that. She had sleepless nights. She promised never to trust or love again. Her heart turned into stone. She built walls no one could break- or so she thought. How will you feel when you have dreams you cannot chase? How will you feel when your whole life is dictated for you? And like that, he lost someone so dear to him. He promised never to love again. His heart turned into stone. He built walls no one could break- or so he thought. She is Aneesa Ahmad Abdullah (AAA), the fearless businesswoman everyone feared. He is Arsalan Aliyu Abdulrahman (AAA), the CEO of the AAA Royal Group of Companies, Crown Prince of Kano State, Flight Lieutenant of the U.S. Army, and also the best military officer in Nigeria. No one dared to challenge him... But she did. What will happen when the two find themselves in an arranged marriage-or should I say, strangers forced to live under the same roof? Follow me on this journey... to either a happily ever after, or a complete disaster filled with drama, secrets, betrayal, and broken hearts.
