Dauke Dai Dai Duniyar Shaidanu Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

Pressure to Marry
 
I saw a young man sitting with his family, speaking softly with those close to him.
 
“Samar!” his wife (or mother) called his name in a serious voice. Hearing that made him turn his attention to her — she didn’t call his name often. When she said “Soja” (soldier), he knew whatever his mother was about to say was important.
 
“Yes, Umma,” he answered.
 
“Soja, you have a job now and your father is wealthy enough to arrange a marriage for you. Even if you don’t have much, get a job first. Three years into your service you’ll get promoted and more money — then find someone to marry,” his father said.
 
“Your mother is right. You’re already thirty; you should marry, soldier,” his father added.
 
“Hmmm — alright. God willing, I’ll try to find the right person,” he replied.
 
“May Allah bring someone good,” they all said.
 
His phone suddenly rang. The name Taj showed on the screen; he smiled and answered, “Hello, my friend Yane?”
 
On the other end they said, “Check your email — Major is urgently calling us about an assignment. We have to go.”
 
He adjusted his posture, surprised. “An assignment? We just had a month’s leave — what kind of assignment is this?”
 
“I don’t know either,” someone said. “I thought the message was a mistake. Sam also wondered, but anyway — if we’re going, it’s tomorrow to Abuja.”
 
“Alright. Let’s meet tomorrow,” he said, ending the call. He checked his email and, sure enough, they wanted to see them the next day.
 
He told his parents, who blessed him, and then began to prepare to leave.
 
Tension and Support
 
“Sam, you’re a woman but you never rest — always working hard. Stop this job and come home. People will talk, saying you sleep around because you work with men,” his mother scolded.
 
“Mom, forget what people say. None of them helped after Dad’s death. I worked hard, got a job, got promoted — I can’t just throw it away. Pray for me instead,” she replied.
 
“I always pray for you, Sam. But what about marriage?”
 
“It’s time, Mom. God willing I promise — after this urgent assignment I’ll think about marriage,” she answered.
 
“May Allah protect you,” her mother said.
 
“I love you, Mom,” Sam said.
 
“And I love you too. So when will you go?” her mother asked.
 
“Tomorrow. I’m packing now. I won’t return — we’re going straight there for the assignment,” she said.
 
Her stepmother protested, “Are you really leaving? The wedding is in three weeks — and now you’re going on an assignment? You’ll bring shame.”
 
“Please be patient. If this assignment is as serious as they say, accept it. If you must go, do it properly,” her father said.
 
Her stepmother angrily left the room. Sam felt the sting of their words but didn’t argue. She went to her grandmother’s house; her grandmother warned her not to worry and to do her work faithfully. Sam thanked her and called her friend Sam, who told her to be patient. She tried to stay calm.
 
The Mission — Urgent Rescue Order
 
The next morning everyone gathered; they were heading to Abuja to the main military headquarters.
 
Major Sa’id stepped forward and spoke after they had selected the team for the mission. The four friends — Samir, Taj, Sam, and Jidda — had worked together a long time; Samir was the oldest and the leader.
 
“What brought you here urgently,” the Major said, “is an epidemic that struck a town and devasted a general’s family. His little daughter, no more than three years old, was taken. We want you to go and rescue her. Because of your skill we picked you for this operation. Captain Samir, you will lead. Emanuel knows the forest tradecraft, so you may not move anywhere without his approval. The rest of you will be part of a two-hundred-person team because the jungle is dangerous. We’ve equipped you well. Anyone who returns from this mission will receive promotion and a special reward from the general — but this mission is compulsory. Do not fail to bring the girl back. That’s the order. You can depart now — may Allah grant you success.”
 
They were given final instructions and prepared to leave.
