Girgiza mata kai ya yi ya ce“A'a yarinya ban ganshi ba”


Shiru Salma ta yi tana jin bugun zuciyarta na ƙaruwa, Ina ya tafi?. Juyawa ta yi ta koma in da take kwance, Ɗankwalinta ta ɗauka ta yafa sannan ta bar wajen. Yawo sosai Salma ta dinga yi cikin gangaren Kabayi amma bata samu Zayyad ba, Wanda ya gashi ma bata gani ba.


Ana kiraye-kirayen sallar magriba ta samu wani dakali ta zauna, Fashewa ta yi da kuka baƙin ciki, Gaba ɗaya bata san yanda zata yi ba, Ga yunwa ga ƙishirwa, Ga Zayyad ya ɓata bata ganshi ba. Ta ina zata fara?


“Laa Salma!”

“Kin ci abinci?”


Girgiza mata kai Salma ta yi, Ta buɗe hand bag ɗin hannunta ta ɗebo kuɗaɗe, Dubu ashirin ta kirga sannan ta miƙawa Salma. Amsa ta yi tana kallonta, Khadijah ta ce


“Ki dinga cin abinci kin ji”


Girgiza kai Salma ta yi ta zari dubu ɗaya daga cikin kuɗin ta miƙawa Khadijah sauran tana cewa


“A'a wannan ma ya isheni ai”

Kai tsaye Orange market ta nufa, Ta dinga yawo cikin kasuwar amma Allah bai haɗata da Zayyad ba, Gajiya ta yi ga yunwa data isheta, Idanunta har rufewa suke saboda tsabar azaba. Dubawa ta yi ta ga duk masu abincin kasuwar sun tashi, Haka ta bar kasuwar tana tafe kamar zata faɗi. A bakin titi ta sami wani mai gashi Gurasa, Ta ƙarasa gabansa ta siya ta ɗari biyar, Wani kanti a gefe ta shiga ta amso ruwa pure water sannan ta ci gaba da tafiya.


***Ban da kuka babu abin da take har ta dawo inda suka zauna ɗazu da Zayyad saboda wajen kamar yafi mata tsaro, Inuwar mutum ta hanga zaune kan yashi ya tankwashe ƙafafunsa, Da gudu ta ƙarasa duk da yanda take jin jikinta. Turus ta yi a kansa tana kallonsa, Wasa yake da tarin ƙasa da yashin wajen, Idan ya haɗa sai ya wargaza yana yi yana yan maganganu.


Sakin ledar hannunta ta yi ta durƙusa gabansa tana kallonsa, Ɗago kansa shima ya yi ya kalleta sai kuma ya yi murmushi, Fuskarsa tass da ita kamar bashi ba, Duk yanda take jin tsoronsa haka ta dake ta ce


“Ina ka tafi? Me yasa zaka yi tafiyarka?”


Shiru ya yi mata Sai dai bai ɗauke Idanunsa daga kanta ba, Zaman dirshan Salma ta yi akan yashin sai kawai ta fashe da wani irin kuka. Bin ta da kallo ya dinga yi ganin yanda take kukan kamar ranta zai fita, Tashi ya yi ya ɗauko ledar bayansa ya miƙo mata, Ɗago kanta ta yi ta kalli ledar sai kuma ta kalleshi, Karɓar ledar ta yi ta cillar da ita gefe sannan ta ci gaba da kukanta. Kwaɓe fuska Zayyad ya yi sai kuma ya ɗora kansa akan cinyarta ya fara kukan shima. Tsit Salma ta yi ta ɗago kanta tana kallonsa, Kuka sosai yake yi tana jin zubar hawayensa kan cinyarta, Ji ta yi jikinta ya yi sanyi ta ɗago kansa a hankali ta ce


“Ka daina kuka ya isa”


Gyada mata kai ya dinga yi kamar ƙaramin yaro, Ta sanya hannunta ta goge masa hawayen sannan ta ce


“Shikenan nima nayi shiru kai ma ka daina kuka Yaya Yad, Amma nan gaba kar ka sake tafiya wani wajen ka barni”


Bai bata amsa ba, Sai kawai ya tashi, Ta bishi da idanu tana kallon abin da zai yi. Ledar data yar ya ɗauko sannan ya dawo ya zauna kusa da ita, Da kansa ya buɗe ledar, Shinkafa da miya ce a ciki har da salad, Ta kalleshi da mamaki ta ce


“Ina ka samo abinci? Wane ya baka?”


Bai bata amsa ba, Ya ɗauko ledar pure water dake bayansa ya fasa, Hannunta ya kama ya fara wanke mata kamar yanda ta yi masa ɗazu. Ta dinga kallonsa tana murmushi mai haɗe da hawaye, Sai da ya gama tsaf sannan ya tura mata ledar gabanta.


Gefen hannunta ta sanya ta share hawayenta sannan ta yi murmushi ta sanya hannunta cikin ledar, Ɗiban abincin ta yi ta kai baki bayan ta yi bismillah, Ya dinga kallonta tana cin abincin har ta gama. Murmushi ya yi sannan ya jawo wata ledar ya shiga buɗewa yana cewa


“Yanzu sai na baki magani ki sha, Ki kwanta”


Ya yi maganar yana jin jina kansa, Buɗe ledar ya yi taga duk tarkacen ledojin pure water, ledar biscuits, ledar chocolate har da robar lemo. Salma bata san sanda ta fara hawaye ba tana shassheƙar kuka a hankali, Ɗago kansa ya yi ya kalleta yana ɗaura wani zaren tabarma jikin robar lemon ya ce


“Ki bar kuka yanzu zan baki magani”


Wani irin tausayinsa ta ji ya rufeta, Ta janye ledar daga gabansa, Kafin ta yi magana ya ce

Shar hawaye suka sake zubowa kan fuskarta, Cikin shassheƙar kuka ta ce


“Ajiye maka zan yi”


Zai sake magana ta fito da ledar Gurasar data siya. Murmushi ya yi yana kallonta ya ce


“Mommah Abinci ki ka siyo min?”

Gyaɗa masa kai ta yi still crying ta ce

“Eh, Kaci, Sai ka bani maganin”


Jinjina kansa ya yi sannan ya amshi ledar daga hannunta, Buɗewa ya yi ya leka sai kuma ya ture yana haɗe fuska, Ta kalli ledar sai kuma ta kalleshi ta ce


“Mene ne? Ko baka so”


Tura baki ya yi kamar ƙaramin yaro ya ce


“Ni ba irin wannan ba, Mene wannan?”


Ɗan murmushi ta yi ta ce


“Gurasa sunanta, Yana da daɗi fa, Ni na siya maka ko baka son abincin hannuna?”


Ta ƙare maganar da damuwa akan fuskarta. Kallonta kawai Zayyad ya yi sai kuma ya sake karɓar ledar ya ɗora kan cinyarsa ya sanya hannunsa ya ɗauko slice na gurasar ya kai bakinsa. Lumshe idanunsa ya yi yana murmushi ya ɗauko wata ya sake kai wa baki, Salma kallonsa kawai take tana murmushi mai ɗauke da hawaye.


Sai da ya kusa cinyewa sannan ya kalleta, Harararta ya yi sai kuma ya ce


“Ke mene ne ki ke kallona ko kin sanni ne?”


Girgiza kanta kawai ta yi tana murmushi ta ce


“Ni ban sanka ba”


Ya gyaɗa kansa ya ce

“Yawwa to dai, Ni bana son kallo.”


Salma dai bata ce komai ba sai kallonsa take, Tas ya cinye gusarar ya miƙo mata ledar yana cewa“Amshi nan ki je ki ɓoye” juya ledar ta yi sai kuma ta ce“Ledar zan ajiye kuma?”


A fusace ya ce “Ko ba zaki ajiye bane? Ni abokin wasanki ne?”


Shiru Salma ta masa, Ya tashi tsaye ya shiga zagaye a filin sai kuma ya dawo, Shaƙe mata wuya ya yi ta baya, Ta sanya hannunta duk biyun tana dukan nasa hannun. Cikin kakkausar murya yake cewa


“Ni abokin wasanki ne ina miki magana zaki min banza, Kin ga ina miki wasa? Ko mahaukaci ki ka ɗaukeni!”


Dakyar Salma ke numfashi, Ta ci gaba da dukan hannunsa, Ƙin cikata ya yi ya sake takure hannunta a wuyanta, Idanunta suka fara firfitowa.


Kamar daga sama taji wani mufini na magana, Ya ƙaraso wajen ganin yanda Zayyad yake durƙushe, Taɓa shi ya yi ai kuwa ya saki Salma ya shaƙe nasa wuyan. Dafe wuyanta ta yi tana sauke wani wahalallen numfashi, Sai dai ganin yanda Zayyad yana ƙoƙarin raba mutumin da numfashinsa ya sanya ta tashi tsaye, Ihu ta saki ta ƙarasa gabansu. Rirriƙeni Zayyad ta yi tana kuka ta ce


“Dan girman Allah Yaya Zayyad ka bari, Ka dawo cikin hankalinka mana, Ka rabu dashi”


Hannu ɗaya ya saka ya hankaɗata ta fadi ƙasa sannan ya mai da hankalinsa kan mutumin yana sake matse hannunsa.


Duk yanda ta bugu a ƙasa hakan bai hanata sake yunƙurawa ta tashi ba, Ta sake nufarsu ganin yanda idanun mutumin suka yi, Dukan Zayyad ta shiga yi tana bashi hakuri amma sam ya ƙi saurarenta, Ta yi baya ta zubawa sarautar Allah ido, Can kuma ta sake nufarshi da sauri. Dagewa ta yi ta sakar masa ciwo a gefen ciki zafi da kiɗimar daya shiga ya sanya ya saki wuyan mutumin ya dafe gefen cikinsa. Tafiya mutumin ya yi ya fadi ƙasa ya riƙe wuyansa yana sakin numfashi dakyar, Da gudu ta ƙarasa wajensa tana kallonsa ta ce


“Sannu Baba, Tashi ka gudu kar ya sake biyo ka”


Muryarsa bata fita ya ce


“Mahaukaci ne daman?”


Gyada masa kai kawai ta yi tana hawaye. Ya girgiza kansa ya ce “Meyasa ba zaki kai shi asibiti ba, Ina iyayensa?”


A sanyaye ta ce“Zan kai shi Baba, Ka tashi ka tafi kar ya sake dawowa kaga babu mai cetonmu”


Dakyar mutumin ya tashi ya bar wajen yana tafe jiki babu kwari, Salma ta maida idanunta kan Zayyad wanda ke tsaye har sannan yana kallon gefen cikinsa. A mugun tsorace take dashi dan ba ƙaramar shaƙa tasha ba, Gani ta yi ya maido idanunsa inda take, Gabanta ya yi wani irin faɗuwa. Tashi tsaye ta yi tana kallonsa a firgice ganin ya fara tawowa, Da gudu ta juya ta bar wajen, Yana ganin haka shima ya bita da gudun.


Zagaye suka dinga yi cikin filin, Har da shiga gonar mutane, Cikin rashin sa'a ta daki wani dutse ta bige ƙafa, Durƙushewa ta yi a wajen ta runtse Idanunta. Kallon ɗan yatsan ta yi taga yana jini ta matse da hannunta tana jin wata irin azaba. Dariyar data ji ya sanya ta juyo tana kallonsa, Zaune ta gansi yana tuntsira dariya yana girgiza kansa. Ɗauke kanta tayi daga kallonsa ta tashi ta fara tafiya a hankali, Sai kawai taga shima ya tashin ya sake biyota. Ihu ta saka ta kwashi gudu ta take ƙafar duk da azabar da take mata. Suka ci gaba da zagaye cikin filin, Gajiya ta yi ta tsaya, Cak shima taga ya tsaya yana nunata yana dariya.


Kuka ta fara yi tana kallonsa ta ce


“Kaga Yaya Yad ka rabu dani, Ni ka daina bina wallahi, Bana so”


Tuntsirewa ya yi da dariya har da tafa hannu. Ta goge hawayenta sai kuma ta juya ta bar gurin, Ganin shima ya ci gaba da tawowa ya sanya ta sake ɗiba da gudu. Zayyad kuwa tsayawa ya yi yana dariya yana girgiza kansa, Can kuma ya juya ya koma inda suke zaune.
