Tawa Ta Sameni Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

Amira, seeing that I was going to waste our time, went in front of Yaya Ahmed and said, "Hit me instead of her." He then intentionally began to flog her repeatedly until the likes of Aliyu said, "That's enough, Ahmed." As for me, tears started flowing from my eyes. I held Amira, and we walked away while I asked her, "Why did you go and let him hit you?" She began to wipe away my tears, and we headed straight to our classroom.
At exactly six o'clock in the evening, we closed for the day. Since we were in the fifth grade, our classroom was located upstairs. As we were on the street of our neighborhood, I suddenly heard someone shouting my name angrily. I turned around and saw Anty Mariya. My heart skipped a beat because I knew seeing her brought no good. And that was exactly what happened, because as soon as she reached us, she pounced on me with insults, claiming that I left for school without waiting for Kamal and his siblings just because I felt they weren't my actual younger siblings. She kept insulting me and taunting me about my living situation, calling me a bastard, a stepchild, and a freeloading beggar.
Amira said to me, "For God's sake, Iman, let's go." She grabbed my hand and spoke angrily. Anty Mariya turned on her and said, "Hey, don't you dare be disrespectful to me, because I will deal with you right here!" Amira replied, "Not with my father, you won't. And if you dare hit me, you will regret it."
Trembling, I covered Amira’s mouth. While we were in this situation, Anty Hadiza, Bilkisu, and Sa'ade all arrived, and they all joined in insulting us. Sa'ade even poked and shoved my head. At that, Amira attempted to hit her back, but I quickly held Amira back so they wouldn't gang up on us and beat her up for nothing, because I knew they were just waiting for an excuse. Anty Mariya said, "So, Amira, you really have the nerve to hit Sa'ade here?" Amira replied, "Why wouldn't I, instead of letting her beat us? Just because you see that Iman doesn't retaliate, that's why you look down on her." She continued, "Besides, Sa'ade isn't older than Iman." Bilki then chimed in, "Well, she should go back to her father's house then, or is it that she doesn't have one and we should know?"
I pulled Amira's hand and we walked away. Amira continued to comfort me and then said, "For God's sake, Iman, let me ask you something?" I wiped the tears from my face with the edge of my hijab and said, "I'm listening." She asked, "Is your father dead or is he alive? If he is alive, where is he?"
I went quiet for a moment, and then I said, "Amira, my father is alive, he hasn't passed away." Fresh tears began to stream down my face, but I didn't bother to wipe them as I continued, "He is at Tudun Wada, right here in Kaduna."
Amira said, "Then why don't you go back to him? It would give you more peace of mind. No matter how poor your own father is, it is better than living as an unwanted stepchild. Why not just go back there?"
I said, "Uhm, Amira, let's drop this matter. One day I will tell you the strong reason that prevents me from leaving this house. Then you will know my father and stop suspecting that it's greed that keeps me here."
Amira quickly held me, stopping me in my tracks, and said, "Wallahi, that wasn't my intention at all! It's just that I see how much humiliation Sa'ade and the rest put you through, and it's just too much. That's why."
I forced a smile and said, "No, Amira, don't worry, I understand you."
Then we walked to Amira's house. I spent about ten minutes at her house, and then she walked me to their front gate and told me that she wouldn't be coming to our house at all this week.
As soon as I entered the house, I realized Anty Mariya and the others had returned before me. They had fabricated a mix of lies and truths, and they and their parents were furiously nagging. The moment they saw me, it was as if God had brought them face-to-face with their enemy, not me. They rained insults and fury upon me. Hajiya Kulu, Mami's mother, went as far as defaming me and taunting me. She then added that she would seek out Amira, and that her father would have to explain why she insulted Anty Mariya and the others, since they were not her peers. As for me, I quietly sneaked away to my room.
