Hauwa was raised to understand one truth early in life: a woman does not belong to herself alone. Born into a family where names carry history and obedience is praised as virtue, her future has already been decided carefully, respectfully, and without her consent. Fresh out of Ahmadu Bello University with an architecture degree and dreams bigger than her small town of Rufai'a, twenty-four-year-old Hauwa finds herself caught between two worlds: the one she's studied to build, and the one her family insists she inhabit. But when love finds her quietly at a Zaria wedding-in the form of Abdullahi, a man who asks nothing except honesty-Hauwa begins to question the life chosen for her. What she doesn't know is that fate has already made the choice. What she doesn't expect is that marriage is just the beginning. As family expectations tighten, tradition presses closer, and the reality of being a wife in a world that demands she stop being herself unfolds, Hauwa must confront painful truths: Can a woman honor her lineage without betraying her heart? Can she build a marriage without demolishing her dreams? And what happens when the man you love cannot see the woman you are? This is a story about: - The weight of tradition and the cost of defiance - Love that begins as destiny but must be chosen every day - The architecture of identity-what we build, what we're given, and what we tear down - Finding yourself in a marriage that threatens to erase you - The quiet revolutions that happen inside a woman's heart Set against the rich, complex backdrop of Hausa Muslim culture in Northern Nigeria, Hauzine is an intimate exploration of what it means to be a woman navigating between duty and desire, between the life you're given and the one you dare to design. Content Notes: This story contains themes of arranged marriage, family pressure, marital conflict, and cultural expectations. It portrays the realistic struggles of maintaining identity within marriage.

--- 🦋 The Symphony of Wings: Muhamman & Hauwa'u 🦋 Once upon a soft sunrise, in a garden where the wind hummed lullabies to the petals, fluttered two butterflies - each radiant in their own way. Muhamman, the Social Butterfly, was a burst of joy - always dancing from daisy to daffodil, weaving laughter between leaves. He greeted every breeze, every bloom, every creature with his glowing charm. But hidden in the shade of a tall sunflower was Hauwa'u Maijidda, the Antisocial Butterfly - quiet, careful, and cocooned in silence. Her wings shimmered with secret colours, seen by none, because she chose solitude over flight. Muhamman noticed her stillness. He didn't barge in or force her to flutter - instead, he came gently, day by day, smile by smile. He told her stories of clouds shaped like castles, of sunbeams that taste like honey, of how the sky misses the wings that do not soar. At first, Hauwa'u only listened. Then she blinked. Then she inched toward him. And one day... she opened her wings - hesitant, trembling, but beautiful. Muhamman took her by the wingtip and showed her how to trust the wind. He didn't change her - he simply believed in the colours she didn't yet know she had. With time, Hauwa'u flew - not because she had to, but because she wanted to. And together, they danced. Different. But in perfect rhythm. A symphony of contrast. A harmony of hearts. This is the story of Muhamman and Hauwa'u Maijidda - The butterfly who reached out... And the one who finally chose to fly. ---
