Haniya Zaria Abbas, a 19-year-old university student in Abuja, lives with scars no one can see-but that never truly heal. After surviving a childhood marked by violence, betrayal, and the loss of her mother, Haniya tries to rebuild her life under the care of her older brother, Niam-now successful, powerful, and dangerously unpredictable. In a world where trust is fragile, Haniya finds herself holding onto one silent truth... She never stopped loving Azlan Mutahar. Her cousin. Her brother's best friend. The man who once smiled at her like she mattered-only to remind her she was "just a little sister." He left her behind, married another woman, and disappeared from her life without a goodbye. But just when Haniya begins to accept that some love stories are never meant to be... Azlan returns. Not just as a visitor-but as a lecturer in her university. Older. Colder. Divorced. And this time... he sees her. Not as a child. Not as family. But as a woman. Now trapped between past pain and present tension, Haniya must face a dangerous question: What happens when the man who once broke your heart... becomes the one who wants it back? And even worse- what if he returns at a time when your life is already falling apart?

When old wounds begin to echo louder than the present, hearts are forced to choose between walking away... or staying despite everything. Will they survive what came before them? Or will yesterday finally destroy what today is trying to build? #LoveAgainstYesterday by umhiteer writes
