Gudun Aure Part 4 Complete Hausa Novel

He evoked deep pity in me at that moment, which was why I stayed with him, holding his hand while gently reassuring and calming him down. After all, earthly life is a lesson, whether for the rich or the poor. It is no surprise when someone you once supported and empowered turns against you to seek your downfall; such things are not new. That is why the righteous servants of God in the past never sought fame or power. Even when God blessed them with wealth, they accepted it only because they had no choice. However, as soon as they sensed death approaching, they would distribute what they had gathered in this world before passing away, or dig a pit in a secluded place to bury their money and gold. That way, upon their death, no conflict would arise among their children and relatives.

Seeing how dedicated I was to counseling him like an Islamic school teacher, he leaned in further and placed his head on her chest, as I felt the soft rhythm of his breath. By God, my heart was moved by faith and compassion at that moment because I truly felt sorry for him. Many people assume that once God blesses a person with wealth, they have achieved ultimate comfort and peace of mind, but that is not the case. A poor person often enjoys more peace of mind than a rich person, since no one envies or targets them, and they can sleep soundly without the heavy worries of life.

Moving past the words of comfort and advice, the teacher's composure gave way. Though I tried to hold back at first, my body gave in, and I lay on the bed with his head resting on my lap. Seeing this, he reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, drew close to me, and wrapped me tightly against his chest. Together, we let out a deep sigh, and from that moment, we began to do what would ease the distress we found ourselves in.

In the morning, we woke up like newlyweds, especially on his part—he looked completely refreshed, as if he had not been suffering from any ailment.

I was deeply pleased by this and felt happy about the appreciation he had shown me the previous night, praying in my heart that God would prevent any further misunderstandings between us. I headed to the kitchen and left him in the room after he had bathed and gotten dressed, busy working on his computer, explaining that he had accumulated a lot of work he couldn't attend to earlier due to his distress.

I returned to the room after preparing breakfast to find him on the phone with Hajja. I caught the end of the conversation where he was telling her he would drop by in the evening.

I heard her voice saying, "Hauwa called me saying you left her all alone at home, so she wants to follow you there. I asked her if she came together with Amina."

He replied, "No, Amina went to her hometown in Maiduguri, just as I explained to you, and then came here for a home visit. Right now, she is at my house in Sharada—I had it fixed up for her to stay there—while Hauwa stays at the main house for me. When I come over in the evening, I will explain everything to you clearly."
