When We Were Almost ForeverMaktub (It is written.)She was raised to believe that love could wait.In a strict Hausa Muslim home, relationships were never part of the plan. While her friends fell in love, collected heartbreaks, and chased romance, she chose obedience. University came and went without a single kiss, a single confession, or a single reason to question the life she'd always known.Until she met him.He wasn't the kind of man she imagined herself loving. He smoked. He was quiet. He rarely looked her in the eye. Yet somehow, it was his smile that found its way into her heart.What began as an unexpected friendship slowly became the one thing she could no longer imagine living without.But love doesn't always fall apart because of betrayal.Sometimes it is distance. Sometimes it is pride. Sometimes it is the words left unsaid, the growing silence between two hearts, and the fear of admitting how deeply you've come to love someone.When graduation separates them, their relationship begins to unravel. Calls become shorter. Conversations become fewer. Jealousy, misunderstandings, and the weight of growing up slowly pull them apart.Until one day, she lets him go.When We Were Almost Forever is a tender, emotional story about first love, faith, family expectations, and the people who change us long before we understand what love truly means.Because some loves don't end.They simply become the stories we never stop carrying.
