Huriyya Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

The Magnificent Mansion and Its Residents
 
It was a grand two-story mansion consisting of five sections. The first four sections all faced the main gate of the house, while the fifth stood slightly to the right, adjoining the other four. Each section had its own small gate where anyone entering or leaving could easily be seen. Every part had a parking space that could hold about three cars and a small open area suitable for small gatherings or events when needed.
 
Each entrance was beautifully decorated with potted flowers, and in front of every section, chairs were arranged for relaxation and fresh air.
 
The mansion’s main courtyard was so large that one could build four or five smaller houses in it. Trees were planted in every corner near the walls, and the center of the compound was encircled with flowers. Even the security guards looked well-paid, not to mention the luxurious cars parked neatly in their designated spots—two, three, or more per section.
 
The house was famously known as “End of Discussion,” a name given by most people in the neighborhood. It wasn’t just popular within the Millions Quarters area, but almost everyone in Gusau city knew the house of Alhaji Haruna Mai Yadi, because such a mansion was rare in the city. Unlike many wealthy men who kept their riches private, Alhaji Haruna had chosen to let his wealth speak through his home.
 
Among the five sections, three were occupied by his wives and their children, while the fourth was reserved for Alhaji Haruna himself. The first part belonged to Hajiya Kaltume, the eldest wife and current matriarch. The second belonged to Hajiya Nafisa, also called Momy, and the third to Hajiya Iyami, known as Amma. The fourth section remained unoccupied since Alhaji Haruna had three wives instead of four as he once desired.
 
Each section had separate rooms for boys and girls, two sitting rooms (one large, one small), and several bedrooms furnished luxuriously. Though the furniture style was the same across sections, the colors differed—Hajiya Kaltume’s was red with golden streaks, Momy’s was ash with white curtains and Turkish cushions, and Amma’s section stood out completely—everything, from the walls to the furniture, was pure white and spotless.
 
The Life and Rise of Alhaji Haruna Mai Yadi
 
Apart from his current wives, Alhaji Haruna had an older daughter, Sapna, from his first wife Maryam, who had passed away. Maryam had shared all his early struggles before wealth came his way. His present wife, Kaltume, became the senior wife after Maryam’s death.
 
Both Maryam and Kaltume had married him when he was still poor—what people call “a marriage of poverty”. They weren’t chosen for beauty but for their good character. Unfortunately, Kaltume and Maryam never got along, constantly quarreling until Maryam’s death.
 
After her death, Alhaji Haruna’s fortunes changed. His wealth multiplied beyond imagination. That was when he married Hajiya Nafisa (Momy), the daughter of his then-boss. She was elegant and from a wealthy family, but her arrogance was unbearable. She constantly reminded him of her father’s riches and belittled both him and Kaltume.
 
Haruna, however, treated all his wives equally and refused to give Momy any special privileges, believing that unfairness would ruin his peace even after death. Over the years, his business empire grew massively—from being called Mai Yadi to Mai Motoci, owner of Mai Yadi Motors, a renowned automobile company in and outside Zamfara State, with branches in Kaduna and Abuja.
 
As his wealth grew, Kaltume hired maids to serve her, one of whom was Balkisu, a beautiful, hardworking, and respectful young lady nicknamed Iyami. She managed household chores so well that even the children admired her.
 
Gradually, her beauty, humility, and cooking drew Alhaji Haruna’s admiration. Her elegance—neither too fat nor too slim, tall and fair—captivated him. She carried herself with grace, always bowing respectfully and receiving things with both hands. Her conduct touched him deeply, and eventually, he doubled her salary and later confessed his feelings.
 
Though she feared Kaltume and hesitated, fate had its way. He married her secretly while Kaltume was away for Umrah, and later moved her into the house with his mother, Hajiya Binta, who loved her more than the other wives. From then on, her nickname Iyami changed to Amma, since the children were instructed to call her that.
 
 The Struggles of Amma and the Birth of Hurriya
 
Upon Kaltume’s return, peace vanished. Both she and Momy despised Amma, treating her as an ex-maid who didn’t deserve to be their co-wife. Rumors and insults followed her everywhere, but she found comfort in the affection of her mother-in-law, Hajiya Binta, who loved her dearly for her respect and obedience.
 
Later, Alhaji Haruna built a new mansion in Millions Quarters, a magnificent residence unlike any other, where he lived with Amma and his mother. There, Amma gave birth to her daughter Hurriya, and later her son Hamad.
 
Years passed. After Hamad’s birth, she could no longer conceive and accepted her fate gracefully. Hurriya, now fifteen years old, was her first child, and Amma herself had been married for sixteen years—while her co-wives’ youngest children were about seventeen.
 
Amma endured endless mockery and jealousy from her co-wives. Her daughter, Hurriya, also suffered humiliation from her half-siblings, who reminded her that her mother was once a maid.
 
But Hurriya was exceptionally beautiful—so much that her beauty stunned anyone who saw her. Her beauty was mesmerizing, unforgettable, and beyond ordinary comparison. She inherited her mother’s charm but surpassed her in radiance and grace. People even said that if not for her father’s wealth, no one would have noticed him, for he was an unattractive man.
 
However, Hurriya was born with a visual impairment—she could not see clearly without her medical glasses. Without them, she could only distinguish voices and silhouettes, but with them, her sight was perfect. Her glasses were her lifeline; without them, she couldn’t read, recognize faces, or move freely. Sleep was the only thing that separated her from her glasses.
