Description
A Duniyata Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel
A young boy (about 13 years old) is pleading with his mother Mariya, begging her not to leave their family. His father is very ill, and the boy, overwhelmed with fear and tears, desperately says:
> “If you leave, who will take care of Abba? Who will care for us?”
But Mariya, hardened by poverty and exhaustion, coldly continues to pack her bag, ignoring the cries of her son and the pleas of her dying husband.
A Father’s Final Words
Despite his weakened state, the father, barely clinging to life, manages to utter:
> “Mariya, if you leave… who will take care of them?”
Mariya turns and replies with bitterness:
> “I found them here, and I’ll leave them here. Even orphans survive.”
She walks out, leaving behind broken spirits and a home consumed by despair. The boy falls to the ground, clinging to her legs, weeping. But she shakes him off.
In a surprising burst of maturity and pain, he tells his younger sibling:
> “We will survive… with our father. No matter how hard life gets… we have each other.”
The Tragic Setting
The household is in ruins. Their grandmother, the only remaining support figure, died three days ago, and her sleeping mat is still on the floor — untouched. Their father lies severely ill, and their mother has now abandoned them too.
Still grieving their grandmother and dealing with starvation, the older boy is forced to take responsibility.
The Only Hope: Abban Farouq
Their only beacon of hope is Abban Farouq, a kind and upright man from the neighborhood who has a reputation for helping the less fortunate. He tells the boy:
> “You cannot continue living in that house alone. You’re coming to stay with us.”
Despite the emotional weight, the boy agrees and begins to pack a few belongings, his mind torn between uncertainty, pride, and sorrow. He knows they will live under the roof of Momy, a woman with authority, structure, and rules — something he isn’t sure he’s ready for.
A Quiet Strength
What stands out is the maturity of the boy — a young teen suddenly forced to fill the shoes of both mother and father. His composure, selflessness, and quiet strength carry the weight of the story.
As they walk toward Abban Farouq’s home, Abba reassures him:
> “From today, I am your father. I’ll be your shelter, your strength, and your support.”
And that single statement gives the boy enough reason to carry on.
