Aisha Aminu Falke has always been invisible. In crowded rooms, in her own home, even in school no one truly sees her. Except for Nini, her grandmother, who has always reminded her that her silence carries power.
When she meets Farouk, everything changes. He notices her in ways no one ever has. Their friendship becomes her safe place, her light. Until it shatters. A fight, a silence, and suddenly the one person who understood her is gone.
Then Aman enters her life. Kind, patient, steady he doesn't ask about her past, only offers her a future.
With him, she begins to heal, to laugh, to hope again.
But the past doesn't let go so easily. Farouk realizes too late what he lost, and now he wants her back. Torn between the boy who first saw her and the one who teaches her to be seen, Aisha is caught in a storm of love, loyalty, and heartbreak.
When her grandmother takes her to the U.S., Aisha must face the hardest question of all:
Should she choose the boy who first saw her... or the one who stayed when her world fell apart?
Farouk was her beginning the first person who noticed the girl no one ever saw, the boy who understood her silence and made her believe she mattered.
Aman came after everything shattered. He comforted her, stood beside her in her darkest moments, and gently confessed the love he had carried for her all along.
Between the love that awakened her and the love that held her, Aisha must decide which heart she truly belongs to.
