Imagine being in a type of house where you're banned from dating, having two choices-
1. To get married after secondary school.
Or
2. To get married after graduating uni.
Being a teenager has its pros and cons, well, Khadijah's is a little bit of not following orders. Her father just does not agree with the term dating, he believes that when you're a student then your thoughts should be focused on school and when you get married, you concentrate on your household.

"Khadijah present to me this boy or his family nan da 1 week, if it passes the time i gave you then you give me no choice" he spoke while standing up. I knew he noticed how both my face and mama's were full of questions that's why he added "To marry you off to the person of my choice in 2 weeks and no one has a say in this" with that he left the parlor and i looked at mama who shrugged at me with a 'You have no choice look on her face'.
With that, i ran out of the house.

"My heart beats for you Khadijah, feel it" he steadied her left hand to his chest.
