Nigerian Stories

Backed by horrible life experiences, Aisha Ahmad Makama has reasons to believe men only complicate things. Consequently, she dedicates her life to painting, wearing floor-length jilbabs and cultivating a hard-earned reputation for not receiving second glances from men. That is, until a single greeting on a Wednesday afternoon shatters her carefully-crafted life. Aisha is forced to confront the unsettling presence of Abdullah Umar Kallamu, a man who carelessly breaks her reputation by daring to dart a second glance in her direction, making a promise to never see her again. It isn't hard to hate Aisha at first sight- she is insane, messy, uncouth, not his type, and unlike all the women Abdullah Umar Kallamu had ever met. Abdullah is also not a challenge to dismiss. He is egotistical, the kind of man who easily receives attention from dumb women- the kind Aisha Ahmad Makama has never been a part of. Both Abdullah Umar Kallamu and Aisha Ahmad Makama are prepared to be sworn enemies. But life upends expectation. They find themselves falling in love. Ironically, for the very same reasons they initially hated each other.

When families disapprove and emotions grow louder, Zara must decide: Is this a passing spark... or the beginning of something worth fighting for?

Their worlds collide - her Hollywood ghosts and his Compton past - binding them through late-night conversations, secrets, studio sessions, healing, and a slow-burn passion neither expected.

University.. To some, it's freedom, late-night parties, endless coffee, friends who feel like family. To some, it's pressure, a place where grades decide your worth and every choice feels like life or death. To some, it's a stage, where popularity, style, and reputation rule the game. To some, it's a mask, a place where you pretend to be fine, even when your brain is screaming, even when your heart is quietly bleeding. But to all, it's a battlefield. A place that breaks you before it makes you. A place that teaches who you really are, who you really love, and what you're really capable of. And final year? That's when it all explodes. No more practice rounds. No more "just getting by." It comes with late-night texts, heartbreaks you didn't see coming, friendships that survive the storm... and some that don't.

"Look here idiot-" "Anan" he simply said. Why is he looking at me like that. He looks interesting with his shirt folded up to his elbow. "What" i am so pissed off and so confused at once. This guy has been doing nothing but running my emotions up and down. "My name, Anan not weird-looking guy, idiot or jerk face" he smiled. Why is he smiling? The last time I remembered, he was always having this annoying but fine smirk. I have no clue why we are having a conversation and not the fight I planned on the way here. I made up an entire speech while comming here. Maybe it is his face, I knew i should have wore something to cover my entire face, that way i won't be able to see his tempting face. "Do you have anything to say, Miss?" Of course he is smirking and obviously enjoying my discomfort. "Adeela" "What" oh now he is confused, the last time I checked he was the one who started the first name thing. "My name, Adeela" I smiled sweetly. Two can play the game. "Of course, your name, Adeela." He smiled tightly. Oh my god! Why can't he call my name the way people call it, why does his own sounds special and intoxicating. I should get out of here. "Ummm, sir, if you would excuse me sir, I would like to return back to my office. The work on my desk won't magically be done" He raised his eyebrow at me before smirking. "Oh, I thought you were here to humour me." He smirked while I eyed him angrily. Why does my emotions runs high when I am with him. "Certainly not, the company wouldn't run it self, would it?" I said in a very sweet voice and he looked at me weirdly. "It wouldn't" he smiled tightly and I returned his gestures by smirking. I knew I have won this round. A love story so unexpected
