Ƙawayena Ne Suka Jamin Part 1 Complate Hausa Novel

A Warm Visit and a New Beginning
As soon as Nafisa greeted them and entered Mama Zainab’s house, Mama Zainab—who was seated on a mat by her doorway doing some hand-stitching—responded with a broad smile and said, “You’re welcome, Mama Hafiz.”
“Thank you, Mama Zainab,” Nafisa replied as she sat beside her. “How was the night?”
“Fine and peaceful. How are the children?” Mama Zainab asked.
“They’re all fine, wallahi. And how are yours?” Nafisa replied.
“Very well,” Mama Zainab answered.
Mama Zainab’s co-wife then came out of her room saying, “Good morning, Mama Hafiza.”
“Good morning, Mama Aisha. How are the children?” Nafisa responded.
“They’re fine. And yours?” Mama Aisha asked as she sat at her doorway.
“They’re fine too,” Nafisa replied.
After a brief silence following the greetings, conversation soon flowed among them, while Saliha joined the children and played with them.
Nafisa’s Story and Life in the New Neighborhood
Nafisa and her family had not lived long in the wealthy neighborhood of Madaci. They had relocated from their former area, Kofar Jatau. Her husband, Auwal, was originally from Zamfara State. Circumstances brought him to Zaria, where his maternal uncle lived. He stayed with him and began his trade in provisions. By Allah’s grace, his business flourished.
Auwal met Nafisa at Kofar Jatau, as she was a native of the area. Love soon blossomed between them, and before long, his uncle facilitated their marriage after approving Nafisa’s upbringing and character. Auwal rented a house for Nafisa at Kofar Jatau. The house accommodated three families, each with its own kitchen and toilet. Their married life was filled with love, mutual respect, and understanding.
After one year of marriage, Allah blessed them with Hafiz. Two years later, Hafiza was born. When Hafiza turned two, Auwal bought a plot of land in Madaci, a development that made Nafisa extremely happy. He began construction gradually. When Hafiza was three years and some months old, Nafisa gave birth to Saliha. By then, Hafiz and Hafiza had started school. When Saliha turned two, Auwal completed the house, and they moved to Madaci with the support of relatives and friends.
After everyone left, loneliness overwhelmed Nafisa. The neighborhood was new and sparsely populated; silence filled the air, as many houses were either unoccupied or unfinished. Mama Zainab’s house was the closest and the only one with people living in it. This led Nafisa to visit Mama Zainab to introduce herself as a new neighbor. From that day, a bond formed between them, growing into a strong friendship despite Mama Zainab being significantly older. Nafisa confided in her, and Mama Zainab often advised her.
Due to the newness of the area, idle youths often gathered in unfinished buildings, engaging in substance abuse and stealing construction materials when the opportunity arose. One day, after the children had gone to school, Nafisa heard suspicious movement in her house. Fear gripped her when no one answered her call. She peeped out carefully and saw a man running away. Terrified, she hurriedly dressed, took Saliha by the hand, locked the house, and ran to Mama Zainab’s place.
From that day onward, Nafisa could no longer stay alone at home. Every morning after Auwal and the children left, she would lock up and go to Mama Zainab’s house, returning only to cook lunch. Afterward, she would return to Mama Zainab’s until evening, when Auwal came to take them home. Over time, she grew fond of staying with Mama Zainab’s family, enjoying their kindness and companionship.
A Shocking Revelation and a Marriage Test
Later, Aisha’s arrival in the neighborhood began to strain the friendship between Nafisa and Mama Zainab. Nafisa grew closer to Aisha and Rumaisa, despite Mama Zainab’s repeated warnings about trusting people too easily. Nafisa dismissed the advice, confident that nothing bad would happen.
One evening, after Auwal returned from work, they settled in for the night. Once the children were asleep and Nafisa had finished bathing, Auwal asked her to sit with him. Calmly, he explained that his uncle had called and offered him Fateema’s hand in marriage—his cousin, the daughter of Uncle Kabiru. Out of respect and obligation, he had agreed, and the wedding would soon be arranged.
Nafisa was stunned. With bitter sarcasm, she accused his relatives of scheming and acting out of greed now that he had achieved stability. Hurt by her words, Auwal defended his uncle, insisting there was no hidden agenda. The discussion quickly turned heated.
Nafisa accused Auwal of repaying her patience with a co-wife. Auwal, in turn, reminded her of the freedom and understanding he had always given her, even when rumors surfaced about her movements among neighbors’ homes. He questioned who had truly been patient in the marriage.
Angrily, Nafisa pouted and snapped, “Listen well, I will not accept any co-wife in my house. I am the only one you married—and you know that.”
