ABOUT THE BOOK

*_"She's only 25, yet she chases every suitor away.
That was before you came into the picture.__

__She changed.
You became all she wanted. Her trouble. Her peace. Her daydreams... even her nightmares.
She didn't want you to leave. But...__" soft chuckles
__"My daughter has pride. She likes you. Truly. She just doesn't want to say it. She doesn't want to admit it.
So don't you dare give up on my girl. May Allah SWT guide you to the right decision."__
"Ameen," he mumbled.

What was Umma trying to do?
Of course she knew the only reason I was here was because I couldn't leave her.
I felt like storming into the parlour and telling him to back off. To never step foot in our house again.

But something felt... off.
Why couldn't I just keep pretending? Keep acting like he didn't affect me?

My heart skipped when I heard my mother call my name.
What does this guy want now? And what exactly is Umma planning?
I don't want to leave her alone with him.

But of course... the only righteous one has to pass a simple test.
A test that's impossible.

Dun dun dunnn!!!
What is our Maro even saying?
We're in Niger right now and she's still chasing suitors away?
Who does that in Nigeria?! Okay okay... maybe she's not chasing them. Or is she? 👀
And what kind of test is "simple but impossible"?
I need to know.

I can't wait for you to meet the famous Maryam Abdulhakeem...
