Muguwar Suruka Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

A Bond That Began at Birth
 
Alhaji Bashir, a native of Kofar Na’isa in Kano, grew up next door to Fatima. Their families were so close that many assumed they were blood relatives. From childhood to adulthood, their bond blossomed into love. Their parents celebrated their union when the two finally married.
 
Soon, Fatima gave birth to a baby boy named Muhammad, affectionately called Adnan. With fair skin and Fulani features, Adnan was the pride of the family, reflecting the beauty of both his parents.
 
Years later, Fatima delivered a baby girl. The birth took place at night, and her husband, Alhaji Bashir, upon hearing the baby’s cry, thanked Allah and admired the girl's beauty, saying she might even surpass her brother in appearance. They named her Fatima Suhaimah, after both her mother and grandmother.
 
The siblings, raised with discipline and love, were known for their calmness and good upbringing wherever they went.
 
Family Friends and Promises
 
Alhaji Bashir’s childhood friend, Alhaji Abubakar, also had a wife named Bilki. Unlike Fatima, Bilki lacked humility, often boasting about her husband’s wealth. Despite this, the friendship between the two men remained strong.
 
For years, Alhaji Abubakar and Bilki struggled with infertility until they were finally blessed with a son, Muhammad, nicknamed Safwan. Coincidentally, Safwan and Adnan were born just months apart and grew up like brothers, attending the same schools and spending time at each other’s homes.
 
When Safwan and Adnan were teenagers, Alhaji Abubakar proposed that their children—Suhaimah and Safwan—should one day marry to strengthen the bond between the two families. Alhaji Bashir agreed, praying for their well-being.
 
Years later, when Safwan went abroad to study medicine in Germany, Bilki, driven by pride, refused to allow Adnan to go along—even though it had been planned. Instead, Adnan stayed behind and continued his studies at BUK, while Suhaimah entered SS1 and later the university to study law.
 
Suhaimah’s Simple Life
 
Now in university, Suhaimah had a peaceful life. She was close friends with Yasmeen, a fellow law student. The two had been friends since secondary school. Yasmeen, the only daughter among three brothers, came from a wealthy but humble household and matched Suhaimah in calmness and good character.
 
One Thursday, Suhaimah came home from school tired and slightly unwell. Her mother comforted her, helped her eat, and gave her medicine. She later remembered Yasmeen had invited her to a party, so she got ready and went.
 
At the party, Suhaimah was received warmly by Yasmeen, who brought her drinks and snacks. Although she refused to dance, Yasmeen understood and didn’t force her. When it was time to leave, she gave Suhaimah a takeaway and walked her to the road.
 
Safwan’s Return and Growing Feelings
 
Meanwhile, Safwan had completed his studies and returned to Nigeria. When his plane landed at midnight, only his mother Bilki came to receive him. He asked about Adnan, and his mother harshly dismissed the topic. Safwan felt a coldness in her words but remained respectful.
 
Later, he visited his old home to see Adnan and Suhaimah. Adnan was out when he arrived, but Suhaimah was in. The moment she walked into the room, Safwan was mesmerized by her beauty and maturity. She greeted him cheerfully, and he responded warmly, hiding the surge of feelings blooming in his heart.
 
When Adnan returned, they chatted and prayed together, but Safwan’s mind was elsewhere—lost in thought over Suhaimah’s transformation. That night, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.
 
Conflicting Intentions
 
That evening at home, Safwan overheard a tense conversation between his parents. Hajiya Bilki was insisting that her son must marry the daughter of her friend Rakiya, a wealthy woman. She declared that Safwan couldn’t marry “a poor man’s daughter.”
 
Moments later, Safwan greeted his father, who calmly sat him down for an important talk. Alhaji Abubakar reminded him of the promise made long ago with Alhaji Bashir—to have Safwan marry Suhaimah. He emphasized that now, having completed his studies, marriage was the next step toward manhood.
 
Safwan, though internally overjoyed, humbly agreed. “Insha Allah, I will visit her and talk to her. May Allah make it easy for us,” he said.
 
His mother, however, wasn’t pleased. “I won’t agree to this marriage!” she shouted. But his father remained firm, asking Safwan to leave the room and promising to support his son’s path.
 
Safwan left, his heart dancing with joy, feeling like he had just received glad tidings from paradise.
