Tashen Balaga Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

School Days and Close Friendships
When I was in JSS3, I was still very playful and mischievous. The girls in our set were still young and innocent at that time.
I had three close female friends — Hadiza, Ummi, and Asiya. We were very close, and everyone in our class knew about our friendship. Sometimes, other students would even joke that the girls belonged to me.
Back then, they were still growing and hadn’t fully matured. But as time passed and we moved into SS3, things began to change. We were no longer children.
Growing Up and Noticing Changes
By the time we were in SS3, Ummi had grown beautifully. She had matured physically and carried herself with confidence. Zainab was tall and fair, with tribal marks that added to her beauty. Asiya, though not very tall, was also attractive in her own way.
As teenagers growing into adulthood, we began noticing these physical changes in one another. Sometimes I would find myself becoming shy or flustered around them, especially when they joked or spoke boldly.
Even simple conversations would suddenly feel different because we were no longer children. We were becoming young adults, and awareness of attraction naturally started to grow among us.
Conversations About Marriage
One day, we went out together and I asked them jokingly whether they were thinking about marriage after finishing school. They laughed and said none of them was ready for marriage yet.
We teased each other, arguing playfully about who was mature enough and who wasn’t. The discussion became full of jokes and daring comments, as teenagers often do when trying to sound bold in front of their friends.
At some point, they started laughing at me, and I realized I had become embarrassed during the conversation. They teased me even more, questioning whether I was brave enough for marriage myself.
It was all playful banter — the kind that happens among young people discovering themselves and learning about adulthood, even if they didn’t fully understand what it meant at the time.
