There is something strange about this student (hauwwa) us man thought to himself as he was sitting at the courtyard of his flat, with his legs crossed,he recalls when he asks of her name and she shyly replied....hmmm he sighed and followed with a small laughter.
It was getting late and by now he should be in bed,after his prayers he tried so hard to fall asleep but couldn't, all he could remember was the same girl from his class, the way she walked passed him earlier (on his way home), ughhhh why lord why can't I forget this and sleep kawai!!!! He turns round and round the bed,until finally he slept off.
"Hmmm I can't sleep,I had said to my self as I pick up my books and walked to the compound where I met inna reading her Qur'an as usual,
"Sannu inna" she replied by nodding her head not wanting to stop what she was doing ,I moved to the other side and started reading my books, which after about 30mins I started sleeping,
"I can't come and kill my self" I said to myself as I adjusted my wrapper and put my books inbetween must armpits and body,.......entering the room meeting fati who was already snoring like a pig.
The one think she does which irritates me the most of all, I picked up a piece of cloth and wrapped it around my ear's, and went straight to bed.The first call to prayer woke me up, as usual I woke up and went to the river to fetch water, after bringing four buckets to the house,filling the empty drum,
I had to fetch another one for myself,upon coming back I bumped into malam usman, straight down my knees I went as I greeted him, " no please get up, why do you have to go down!!?" He asked me as he stares into my eyes which I was confused why?
I walked away without even saying a bye.Meeting him at school was one thing I didn't want to happen! "This is why you are dumb" said dije with a knock straight to my head.
Ouch!!!! I screamed keh lafiyan kikuwa?
Asking he with an unusual look🤥
I have to knock some sense into you
He is trying to show he loves you but you are too dumb to understand it.
"I turned around slowly lifting my eyebrows,
"Dije are you alright"
Now am getting angry
How can you tell me such mad thing
Ki kula da bakin ki!!!
Dije had nothing to say now she packed her books to the other seat.....
And through out that day we didn't talk to each other.
Classes ended and I walked my way home as usual passing through the river side
This day I decided to stop at danladi's place
Get my cloth which he was supposed to get it for me in the city ,
"Danladi where is my atamfa!? "
I had asked him with my hands on my waist
"Wallahi tallahi zanmaka rashin mutunci,don't even tell me you forgot again"
He had smiled and said "haba mamana kema kinsan I will never forget.
He asked me to pick it up from inside the shop,
I went I'm searched and searched but couldn't find it, then he had to come in and get it for me.
I stayed for a couple of minutes later and then went home."Assalamu alaikum I shouted and inna who was pounding grandnut in the motter answered, with a loud voice too.
I had just finished praying maghrib when I heard noises in the compound, I went to see what was happening but before I reached I over heard inna saying "haba you know kulu too well, she can't do such a thing, try and think it ,you should know that malam habu is a hypocrite in this village, which every one knows that well enough"
I started wondering why my name is in the story
Hmmmmm.... I continued to listen,
"You are blinded by your love for kulu, just because she is good here doesn't mean she is always good outside the house"
What kawu had said shocked me, now I wanted to hear what was happening, I went to the compound and turned to inna, "inna lafya!!?" I asked curiously
She couldn't say a word , just then kawu turned around and faced me, hauwwa'u you have disappointed me,you have spoiled my name in the village of zari, why what have I done to you to deserve this"?
Tears rolled down my face, kawu me??? What did I do !! I asked and he went off to his room,inna touched my shoulders and also left ,I went straight down my knees crying I wept like there was no tomorrow, what could it be , I asked my self " whatever the case is only Allah can see me through this inshaallah" I prayed wiped my tears and went to bed.No one said a thing to me even when I left for school,now things are getting strange, everyone started pointing fingers at me wisphring as I passed my regular road to school, what could it be!!? I asked my self
Even in class same thing was happening until an arrogant girl (Jassana) came towards me.
" hmmmmm wallahi what you did is disgusting, how can you upon all men in this village decide to sleep with danladi the sugercan seller !!?? And that too in his shop"
I couldn't even pick a single word top say, I was totally down, no tears could fall,my heart was beating fast, what can I do know,
"Me?? Slept with danladi....how did that even happen" all this questions crossed my mind,I picked up my bag and ran out of school with tears rolling down my eyes.
