Aisha Siddiqa Part 3 Complete Hausa Novel

Aisha-Siddiqah’s Joy and Family Preparations
Aisha-Siddiqah was overflowing with happiness today, as she had just written her final examination paper in secondary school successfully. All signs showed that Abdulrasheed’s parents had not wasted the huge amount of money they spent to support Aisha’s secondary education in the expensive school their own children attended. By God’s will, she had completed her studies as planned.
As the time for Nenne’s pilgrimage to Hajj drew closer, she began making preparations for the journey. This year, she and Nanin Gombe—her mother, Hajiya Oummana—would travel together. Nanin would be brought from Gombe to Lagos, where they would depart with the Lagos State Pilgrims.
They spoke on the phone with Hajiya Zainab, who informed her about the travel plans. Umman Siddiqah replied that they too were preparing to come from Gombe and that, by God’s grace, she had also secured a seat again this year through Malam Yunus’ office. Nenne was extremely happy about the chance of meeting again in Saudi Arabia for the second time, teasing Umman playfully that perhaps another year would come when they would meet again in Ilorin Emirate for a celebratory ceremony.
Hajiya Zainab laughed shyly, replying jokingly that Petel would clean her room, prepare food and refreshments, and come to greet them before returning to her husband, since she had finished school. With that, Nenne and Umman Siddiqah bade each other farewell warmly and lovingly.
Journey to Gombe and Warm Reception
Hajiya Zainab informed Malam Yunus that Petel would be coming to greet the family before returning to her husband. He was very pleased and immediately instructed Sunusi, the young student staying with Umma, to clean and prepare Petel’s room.
When it was time to go and pick up Nanin Oummana, Nenne told Siddiqah to prepare to travel with them to Gombe. She explained that Siddiqah would greet her parents and possibly stay for three days before formally bidding them farewell, as it was time for her to move in with her husband, Hamma.
Although Siddiqah understood the explanation for the trip, her excitement about seeing home again completely overshadowed any fear about moving in with her husband. Her joy knew no bounds—she was overwhelmed with happiness and excitement, almost dizzy with delight. It felt like ages since she had last seen her parents.
Nenne deliberately avoided explaining the full details of Siddiqah’s new marital life, leaving that responsibility to Hajiya Zainab, knowing she would handle it gently and convincingly. In fact, Hajiya Zainab had long wanted to prepare Siddiqah properly for marriage, but the opportunity hadn’t come earlier. Now that she was going home, it felt like the right time.
Seun and Firdausi packed plenty of gifts for Siddiqah—fabrics, lace, traditional outfits, perfumes, and gifts for her parents and relatives. Siddiqah, Nenne, and Firdausi traveled to Gombe on Saturday. Upon arrival, they first dropped Siddiqah at her family home in Jeka da Fari before heading to the Gombe palace.
Umman Siddiqah already knew of their arrival and prepared a warm and dignified reception, welcoming them with well-arranged food and cold drinks. After resting, praying, and chatting, they prepared to proceed to the palace.
Reunion, Memories, and Family Stories
Umma teased Princess Firdausi, calling her the youngest princess and favorite of Nenne, but the princess smiled and replied that Siddiqah had already taken her place. Aisha-Siddiqah clung lovingly to her mother, releasing the soft, pleasant fragrance of well-cared-for womanhood. She refused to leave her mother’s side, much to Umma’s shy amusement, until Nenne jokingly defended her, saying Siddiqah deserved to feel her mother’s warmth after such a long separation.
When Malam Yunus returned from work, he was delighted to meet their special guest, Aishatu Indo Siddiqah. Her father jokingly remarked on how healthy and radiant she looked, teasing her about the nourishing food she must have been eating. Laughter filled the room as he handed her a package of spicy balangu he had brought home. Eagerly and nostalgically, Aisha began eating, saying she truly missed home and the North.
That night was filled with joy as Aisha and her parents shared stories late into the night—about Lagos, about home, and especially about her marriage. Her father spoke about Ishaq, who had been heartbroken upon returning from national service to discover that Aisha had already been married. He had cried openly, and afterward left Gombe in sadness, moving to Kano to live with his uncle. There, he joined his uncle’s textile business at Kantin Kwari, where he was doing well and seeking further opportunities. According to her father, Ishaq was now happy in Kano and thriving in both work and business.
