Khadijah Ibrahim never agreed to it.
But choices were made for her.
A marriage arranged under pressure becomes her new reality-one she enters with silence, resistance, and a heart determined not to belong.
Ahmad Galadima knows she didn't choose him.
And still, he stays.
Not to force her. Not to break her walls.
But to exist gently beside them... hoping one day she lets him in.
In a home filled with distance, unspoken pain, and carefully measured patience... something begins to shift.
Because sometimes, love is not chosen.
And sometimes, it grows in the space between no... and forever.
