Opposites Attract.
Copyright © 2024. A not-so-straightforward love story. The saying "opposites attract" is used to say that people who are very different from each other, in terms of personality or interests are often drawn to each other. The said saying describes two hearts; Khalil Ahmad Sambo and Ameera Bukar Babangida. Khalil Ahmad Sambo, a civil engineer full of optimism, an outgoing individual with a benign aura. He is the man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and his smile is the most visible part. Yet, his standards and values are unwavering when necessary. Ameera Babangida, a reserved, ambivalent, and determined young adult with a pretty normal life, surrounded by loving family and friends and working at a well-known company as an architect, her life is simple. One could say that she rarely, or never even pays attention to anything outside her career and family. Until a trip to Kaduna changed everything in her own little bubble for her. But what if that saying goes beyond the two? Started: 6|10|24 Completed:
NADRA: My Qalbi Found
Some meetings are not random... they are written long before hearts understand them. Nadra never thought much about what life had planned beyond her quiet routine. She had her peace, her goals, and a life that felt steady enough. Until families crossed paths. Until Nazeer became part of her world. At first, it was nothing. Just presence, polite words, familiar gatherings. But some connections do not stay simple. Some begin softly... then slowly change everything. She thought she could keep her heart untouched. He made her believe it was safe to feel. But not every closeness is what it seems when you look back. Because sometimes... what feels like love is only the first step into something you didn't agree to feel. And once it starts shifting, it doesn't ask for permission. So the question is... when you realise that something has changed, will you still recognise yourself in it? One day. Three rankings. 🥇 Abuja 🥈 Arewastories 🥉 Arewaromance }24/4/26 🥂
