Nuha, her best friend, and little Anas spend their days laughing at the playground-sharing snacks, silly songs, and secrets whispered with crossed pinkies.
It's a friendship full of giggles, familiar routines, and the safe joy of growing up side by side.But one quiet afternoon, everything changes.
Papa's been stationed overseas. We're moving... soon.
Suddenly the playground feels different.
Nuha's heart thumps, questions swirl, and a heavy sadness settles in her chest.
With the gentle support of Anas-who offers his favourite toy car because it vrooms fast-Nuha slowly finds comfort, courage, and a new way of holding on to precious memories.
