Zahra, My Love

In the village of Soymining, life and love collide in unexpected ways.

Watila, a young man torn between duty, desire, and the chaos of adolescence, finds his heart tethered to Zahra—the girl who had captured his every thought. But when Zahra returns after years of absence, she carries more than her charm; she carries a child, a secret, and the weight of life’s cruel lessons.

Zahra, My Love is a gripping tale of longing, heartbreak, and the harsh realities that shape love, loyalty, and destiny. From the fields of Soymining to the corridors of a boarding school, Nicholas Watila paints a vivid, emotionally raw picture of life, youth, and the trials that define us.
