Canjin Rayuwa Part 4 Complete Hausa Novel

So that she can experience a transformation in her life—from ignorance to knowledge, from a lack of upbringing to good manners, and from being disrespectful to a person of integrity. Sauda, initially, I arranged this marriage for Mimi just to make life difficult for her and to hurt her deeply, just as she had hurt me. But later, I gave it some thought and realized that through this marriage, her life could actually change for the better. Ismail can give her the Islamic religious education that she lacked from me. Furthermore, education will make her well-mannered, even if only a little, since we failed to establish a proper foundation early on. The reason I told you not to visit her, and why I also stated that they should not look for me again, is because she will receive a better upbringing when she is not around us. He will not feel intimidated by us, nor will he fear us if he needs to discipline her for any wrongdoing. And from what I've noticed about him, he is fearless, meaning he won't be intimidated by any of her threats. Likewise, we will not assist them with money, because I don't want to make him complacent, causing him to fail to strive for his own livelihood by always relying on us. In addition, the lack of financial help will make her get used to a life of deprivation, which she never knew before. Cutting off ties with them is what will compel both of them to do what is necessary.
Hajiya Sauda let out a sigh, "I understand you perfectly, Alhaji, but I made one mistake." He looked at her. "I sent them one hundred thousand Naira."
"Don't worry, just don't ever send them money again. If you can, don't even call their phone numbers anymore." She remained quiet for a short while, contemplating. He interrupted her thoughts, "Don't stress yourself over this, I promise to keep track of their situation and update you on how they are doing." She stared into his eyes and saw the sincerity in what he was saying. She said, "Alright then, Alhaji. May Allah guide us to success." He replied, "Ameen, my good wife." He took her hand, "I know your heart is at peace with the boy, and I too have realized that he is a sensible young man." They both laughed. He said, "Do you know what, Sauda?" She asked, "No." He said, "I myself terribly miss Mimi. I know very well that it is the constant thoughts of her that have prevented this illness of mine from subsiding." She replied, "I knew it would be like that, but since you have this noble intention, it is your duty to endure, persevere, and look away, while we also offer prayers for Allah to assist us." He said, "Ameen, O Lord. I feel at peace now that Allah has made you understand my perspective." They spent the rest of that day trying to comfort and please one another.
In the same way, Mimi also continued her recovery, with Yaya Amina and Ismail taking excellent care of her. Their mother's relatives from Daura came to visit Mimi to check on her health, and they brought them the proceeds from the sale of their farmland. Consequently, the preparations for Ismail's upcoming journey were finalized. On Mimi's part, Ismail had now successfully compelled her to start performing her daily prayers, though not by her own choice. His frequent counseling and persistence forced her to listen to him. He showed her how to perform the prayers and took it upon himself to perform the ablution for her. On the first day he got strict with her about praying, she cried throughout the entire prayer. Initially, she had refused to pray at all, until he told her that he would completely stop taking care of her if she didn't pray. He made it clear to her that he would simply leave. Yaya Amina, also wanting to scare her, chimed in, "If he leaves, what reason would I have to stay here either? That means you'll be left here alone with no one to nurse you or look after you." Crying, Mimi asked him to perform her ablution. From that day onward, whenever it was time for prayer, she would perform it. One thing that amazed Mimi was that ever since she started praying, she found herself experiencing a sense of inner peace, and her conviction grew that prayer truly brings a servant closer to their Lord. Likewise, when he offered to teach her short chapters of the Quran, she did not object for the sake of her prayers.
Time passed until she had spent one month and one week in the hospital. That was when the traditional bonesetter who had treated her set a date to come back and check if the bone had healed properly so he could remove the splint. On Monday around ten o'clock in the morning, the traditional healer arrived accompanied by Doctor Salis. He simply looked at her legs and said, "I hope that the bone setting has healed well. I am going to undo it now so you can take her for an X-ray, then bring the scan back for us to see."
Ismail said joyfully, "Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God), I am honestly tired of staying in this hospital, and Khadija herself is tired too, right?" he said, looking at her.
Mimi looked at the healer and asked, "So if the X-ray shows that the bone has healed, will I be discharged?"
The healer replied, "Yes, but go ahead and get the X-ray first so we can see."
