Sodangi Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

It was a ruga (Fulani settlement) filled with indigenous Fulani who shared deep unity and love for one another, to the point that seeing how they lived together would truly admire anyone.
Alhaji Abu was the ardo (chief) of this settlement. He had a wife named Hajjo, though everyone called her "Mulasa" because of her exceptionally thick and abundant hair.
Allah blessed them with two children: Sada and his younger sister, Saratu. However, in the entire settlement, no one called Saratu by her real name; instead, they called her "Sodangi" (beloved of relatives). This was because a massive celebration was held on the day of her birth, bringing together nearly five surrounding settlements, which earned her that nickname.
Sodangi was a young girl who, despite being only thirteen years old, physically looked as though she were fifteen. On top of that, she was remarkably intelligent and quick-witted.
Sodangi's parents loved their children intensely because they did not have children early in their marriage—it was only later that they were blessed. For this reason, they showered them with ultimate love and could not bear to see anything hurt them, especially Sodangi.
Alhaji Abu had only one younger brother, Audu, and his wife, Lailu. Unlike Abu, they had five children, as they experienced no issues with childbirth after getting married.
Uncle (Baffa) Audu was the type of person who meddled in things that were none of his concern. Consequently, he always monitored Sodangi and her brother, watching the affection their parents showered on them with a critical eye. Moreover, he deeply resented any modern items or trends, yet such things were always seen first with Sodangi and her family.
For this reason, he developed a deep hatred for her. Anything she did in his presence was deemed wrong or poorly done. Because of this, whenever he was around, she could never be herself or feel at ease; she would just stay timidly out of the way.
Every Fulani custom and tradition—such as cattle herding and taking milk to the market to sell—was something Sodangi had tried her hand at. In her own view, she found it all charming and exciting. Thus, whenever her older brother Sada rounded up the cattle to head into the bush, she would throw a tantrum to go along with him. At first, her mother Mulasa used to stop her, but she eventually gave up and left her alone, because if she didn't let her go, Sodangi would spend the entire day crying. Since Mulasa hated seeing Sodangi upset, there were very few things they ever denied her.
