Kauyen Yar Kadde Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

Husna and Surayya’s Orphaned Childhood
 
Husna and Surayya were the only two children of their parents. Sadly, they lost both parents in a car accident when they were still very young. Afterward, they grew up under the care of their father’s elder brother. Their mother was from Yola, so they were not very close to her family since they only visited them occasionally.
 
The two sisters lived a modest life. Surayya continued her education, while Husna worked as a primary school teacher. Both were originally from Damaturu and lived quietly without much exposure or luxury.
 
However, a problem arose between them and their father’s relatives when Husna was chosen to marry the son of their uncle — even though Husna was deeply in love with a young man named Umar.
 
The Marriage Conflict and Husna’s Life with Umar
 
Despite family pressure, Husna refused to marry her cousin, declaring that her heart belonged to Umar, whom she had loved since childhood. Because of this, even Umar’s family turned against them and drove Husna out of the house. She went to live with Surayya, who supported her. Eventually, Surayya and other relatives helped organize Husna’s wedding to Umar, which was held in Maiduguri — Umar’s hometown.
 
Husna was a beautiful, curvy woman with an attractive figure and often wore fitted clothes. Her love with Umar was passionate and intense; they couldn’t hide their affection anywhere.
After moving into their new home, everything seemed perfect until Umar’s mother, Hajiya Rabi, began to interfere.
 
Hajiya Rabi had strict rules in the house — everyone had to eat breakfast together every morning, and each daughter-in-law took turns bringing her food. Husna had only been married for a week when Hajiya Rabi suddenly entered the sitting room without knocking and found Umar and Husna cuddling affectionately — Husna lying on Umar’s lap while he gently stroked her hair.
 
Shocked and angry, Hajiya exclaimed, “So Umar, this is what you’ve become — a slave to a woman? Look at you lying together shamelessly! You’d better take such behavior to your bedroom!” The couple froze in embarrassment, quickly running to their room.
 
Inside, Umar helped Husna zip her dress, but their affection reignited, and they began to kiss passionately. Just then, they heard Hajiya’s voice again calling for Umar. He rushed out, while Husna dressed herself and joined them later.
 
Hajiya scolded Umar for not coming to breakfast and complained that Husna hadn’t started bringing her food yet. Umar apologized, saying Husna would begin the next day, but Hajiya cut him off angrily, accusing him of being bewitched by his new wife. She warned him that she wouldn’t allow Husna to “control” him. Husna burst into tears afterward, asking if Hajiya had always been this harsh. Umar comforted her, and they reconciled privately.
 
Meanwhile, Hajiya went to another woman named Lami and angrily narrated what she had seen. Lami confirmed she had often heard noise from the couple’s room at night and even early in the morning. Hajiya sighed heavily, muttering prayers and disbelief.
 
Husna’s Childbirth and Fear of Co-Wife
 
Months passed, and Husna became pregnant. One night, she went into labor, crying out in pain and calling for her husband, Umar. He reluctantly helped her drink some water, but her pain intensified. She begged him to call for help, and he went to inform his relatives. To his shock, none of the women wanted to assist — they all mocked her, saying her condition was none of their business.
 
Frustrated, Umar decided to take Husna to the hospital himself. Before he could, Husna screamed as the baby came — a girl. “Alhamdulillah,” Umar said with relief. But Husna, still in shock, whispered sadly, “Oh no, it’s a girl again.” Umar rebuked her gently, asking where her faith had gone.
 
She wiped her tears, realizing that her mother-in-law had vowed that if she ever gave birth to another girl, Umar must marry another wife. Fear filled Husna’s heart. She prayed silently, “Ya Allah, forgive me. Remove this jealousy and fear of co-wives from my heart.”
 
The next morning, she called her sister Surayya to share the news. Surayya congratulated her, saying, “That’s wonderful! May Allah bless your baby girl.” But Husna wept, admitting she feared Umar would take another wife. Surayya scolded her for thinking that way and told her to have faith.
 
Later that day, Umar heated water to prepare Husna’s bath. As he carried the bucket, Hajiya Rabi saw him and was outraged. “So now you even fetch bath water for her? She has truly bewitched you!” she shouted. Umar explained softly that Husna had just delivered and was weak.
 
When Hajiya learned that Husna had given birth to another girl, she lost her temper completely. “Another girl? Ya Allah! She will finish my son! No — Umar must marry again!” she cried bitterly.
 
Husna, overhearing everything from the window, felt her breath catch in her throat — her worst fear had just come true.
