HUSNA (EDITING)

Chapter14

Since waking up for Fajr, she hadn't gone back to sleep. Knowing she had school, she cleaned all the dishes before 7 am and then dusted the entire house until 7:30. With class starting at 8:15, she had to rush to get ready. She quickly took a hot bath.

She chose a simple yet elegant outfit: light jeans with a purple top that complemented her perfectly. Her well-ironed, light blue hijab added a touch of sophistication. As she slipped it on, she glanced at her phone: 7:45 am. She also planned to stop by the market after school to buy some zobo. Grabbing her bag, she walked out of the room.

Fatiiima ko a wata ha sare junta do (Fatiiima what are you still doing at home by this time?)she asked seeing her sister who is not ready for school.."

"Adda husna Adda husna mulumjo amin on vi to min waddai cede deftere ta min wara (the teacher said we shouldn't come today, if we didn't bring the money for the English textbook .."so I decided to stay..")

"Sai a subti jodugo sare? Bo a numai a yecca amin ga a wala haje jangirde mai (So you decided to stay home,? and you didn't even bother tell anyone because you're not serious right.)she said sternly looking at her sister.."

"Anma Adda husna (But Adda husna.)

Salu dillu yohu murnu junta do mido rene (Com'on my friend, before the count of three go and get ready I'm waiting for you..")

"She immediately changed into her uniform and came out making husna knock her head.."Toi kuje kusde ma?(where's your socks?")

Here's it fatima showed her the socks grinning..she rolled her eyes.."Salu watu (oya put them on..")

"Let me talk to Adda," after informing her mother that she was leaving. They headed to her sister's school, which is  just a short distance from their house. As she glanced at her phone, her eyes widened in surprise it is already almost 7:50 am!

"Adda husna malumju habib vi mi hofne
Tomi meti mi nani inde mako ha.(Adda husna Mallam habib said I should extend his greetings to you..")
"Hunkodo ma sai to mi fi ma (If I hear his name again I will hang you up..")

"She met the teacher telling him that she will bring the money tomorrow insha Allah.."the man agreed."

As she rushed to the bus stop, it took her only a few minutes to arrive. She quickly made her way to her department, but the lecturer was already inside. To avoid humiliation, she waited outside for a few minutes before he let her in.

Faiza nudged her with her leg. "Why are you late?"

"I was just washing the dishes and taking Fatima to school," she replied, pulling out her book.

The class had their first lecture, which went smoothly. Afterward, they headed to the masjid for Zuhr prayer and returned for their second lecture around 3:00 PM.

"We have plenty of time before sunset," Faiza reassured Husna, who is  worried about it getting dark.

At 5:40 PM, they began their test, which had no time limit. As they worked, the lecturer sipped his coffee, seemingly enjoying their struggle. Husna and Faiza grew impatient, unaware of how quickly time would pass. Before they knew it, the sun had set, and the clock read 6:15 PM.
