This is not a love story.
Or maybe it is.
But not the kind that begins with butterflies and ends with forever.
Some hearts are softer than they should be.
Some people leave fingerprints on souls.
And some stories are better whispered than told.

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:

written before we met!
Afrah Sule's life was never simple. Since her father passed away, she's carried a weight she never asked for, balancing grief, responsibility, and the fragile hope that life could still feel normal. But when a stranger's threat turns her world upside down, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and trust begins to unravel. Muhammad - her childhood friend, someone she thought she understood, ends up in danger, and she can't ignore it. Every step she takes pulls her deeper into a web of secrets, lies, and an enemy she can't see but knows is watching. Meanwhile, Imam, the one she thought she lost forever, is still in the shadows, blocked from her life, praying from afar, and slowly realizing that distance is not protection. Musa, her protective elder brother, and Asmau, her best friend with a heart she didn't know was hiding storms of its own, get caught in the chaos, their loyalty, courage, and hearts tested in ways they never expected. In a world where trust can be deadly, hearts can be weaponized, and love doesn't always arrive when it's supposed to, Afrah must navigate threats, secrets, and her own feelings while discovering that sometimes, the one you think you've lost may be the one meant for you. A story of suspense, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, family bonds, and faith, where every choice matters and every heartbeat could be the difference between life and loss.
