Amina lived in Zaria with her father, a tailor. She was quiet, kind and helped with sewing after school. Musa, a teacher had just moved to town. He taught at the local school and spent most of his time reading or preparing lessons.

They first spoke when Amina came to deliver lunch to her brother at school. She dropped her basket, and Musa helped her pick it up. After that, they greeted each other whenever they met. Slowly, they began to talk

Musa admired how thoughtful Amina was. Amina appreciated his calm nature. There was no rush between them, only steady understanding. One day, Musa went to her father and asked for her hand. He didn’t make big promises, just said he respected her and wanted to build a life with her.

Her father agreed and Amina said yes.

They had a small wedding with family and neighbors. Their love wasn’t loud, but it was honest and in that honesty, trust grew.
