Gudun Aure Part 3 Complete Hausa Novel

Seeing that he was speaking to Sukairaju on the phone about his wife, I stood up without saying anything and went to my room, leaving them there.
 
Fifteen minutes later, Yusi came in while I was arranging the items on my dressing table. I looked at him calmly and said, “So, Yusi, you didn’t even come looking for me? Have you forgotten about me?”
 
He hugged me, laughing as he said, “But Mama, you were the one who told me to stop coming whenever I saw the two of you sitting together in the living room.”
 
I nodded. “Yes, I said that, but why didn’t you come looking for me when you returned? You could have at least come to greet me.”
 
He held my hand and said, “All right, I’m sorry.”
 
I said nothing and continued arranging my cosmetics, while he reached out and began helping me.
 
“Mama, I’m sure my elder brother has grown bigger now, hasn’t he?” he asked.
 
“Very much. We will go and see him again, in sha Allah.”
 
His face brightened with excitement. “All right, Mama. But when will he finish his studies? And when he is discharged from the school, where will he stay?”
 
I looked at him calmly and replied, “He will stay with Gwaggwo, of course. Hamusu and I have already discussed it. He will be taking him along to the market.”
 
I said those words at the exact moment my husband unexpectedly pushed open the bedroom door and entered. I had not expected him to come in. He had very sharp hearing, so I did not bother wondering whether he had heard me or not.
 
I simply stared at him while he fixed his eyes on me, his expression filled with suspicion and accusation. I now understood that he hated hearing Hamusu’s name from my lips just as intensely as he hated the thought of his death. I did not know why he had developed such deep hatred for him, because he had never been like that before.
 
Yusi stretched out his hand, and they slapped palms. That was their usual habit; at the slightest opportunity, they would exchange a handshake.
 
My husband patted his head and said, “Go to my room. I saved some food for you.”
 
Yusi held out his hand again, and they slapped palms for the second time. He hurried towards the door, opened it and left the room.
 
Once he was gone, only the two of us remained. I moved to the edge of the bed and sat down, watching my husband because I did not know why he had come in. But I knew that after hearing me mention Hamusu’s name, he would not remain silent.
 
Suspicion was one of his many unpleasant habits. By then, I had come to understand him completely.
