Dan kuwa a yanzu aikinmu da yake kanshi ko duk duniya zata taro tace mashi ga halin da kike cike bazai taba yarda ba, ke koke da bakinki kika fada mashi bazai yarda ba, amma the moment idanunshi suka gane mashi, to fa babu sauran boye boye."

Da Album din, da passport din, da shi kanshi Saahir din, a tare suka fadi ragab a bakin kofar. Idanunshi kan Maama ko kyaftawa bayayi, a hanzarce ita da yarinyar suka suturta jikinsu kafin yarinyar tayi sumsum ta fice daga gidan gaba daya.

Girgiza kai ta farayi, kafin daga baya ta saduda ta fara bashi ansa. "Saahir tun kafin na rabu da Babanka nakeyi, bansan ya zanyi ba. Bai bani time, ko ya dawo kasar baya kulani, I can't resist the urge of my desires, so I asked Hajia...ita ta sakani a harkar. Saahir, kayi haku..." bai bari ta idasa ba ya tsayar da ita.

"Bayan kin rabu dashi din fah? Meyasa bakiyi aure ba, Maama? Meyasa? Wannan wace irin kazanta ce? Ki rasa abunda zaki bi sai mata, Maama? Yar Baka...you gave her this life too. You ruined her.

Komai ya tsaya mashi cak, gani yake to tunda Maama haka take kowa ma zai iya yin komai.

Hannu takai zata tabashi yayi hanzarin janye jikinshi, "Just answer me, why?!"

Kukanta ne yayi intensifying, "Nasan I have no excuse. Duk wanda ya lalace shi yaso, na dauka. Koma me zakamun kamun, amma dan Allah Saahir karkayi fushi dani, ka gafarta man." Roqon gafara babu irin wanda batawa Saahir ba amma ko gezau.

Har yazo zai fita daga dakin ya dawo, "Nayi alkawarin zan yafe maki, amma bisa sharadi biyu."

Da hanzari ta fara daga kai "Na yarda, koma menene wallahi tallahi na yarda, ka yafe man Saahir, na maka alkawari bazan kara ba." Shi bai yarda da alkawarinta ba, kawai dai she has to do all he says.

"Na farko, zan maki aure. Nasan eh ke mahaifiyata ce, amma a musulunce zan iya zama waliyyin ki. Kowa na aura maki Maama zaki zauna dashi babu wulakanci. Na biyu, idan yana da yara zaki rikesu kamar yanda kika rikeni, Maama idan akwai mace cikinsu kika lalata Allah ya isa ba..." bata bari ya karasa ba tayi hanzarin riko hannayenshi, duk fadin duniya da abunda ke cikinta babu abunda takeso kamar Saahir, haka zalika babu abunda bazata iya yi mashi ba.

"Na yarda, wallahi na yarda Saahir. Ba sai kamun Allah ya isa ba, na maka alkawari bazanyi ba." Kuka take tana nadamar rayuwarta. Babu irin nadama da bakin cikin da bataji a cikin zuciyarta.

Fita yayi bai ko kara kallonta ba. Direct dakin gateman dinsu yaje, he took him as a father tun tasowarshi. Kuka ya farayi yana hadashi da Allah, babu abunda ya boye mashi kafin ya fito mashi da bukatarshi. Dakyar ya aminci ganin yadda Saahir din ke kuka yana rokanshi, kuma shima practically shi yayi raising dinshi, dukda cewar tun mahaifinshi na raye suke tare. Matarshi shekarar ta biyu da rasuwa. Yaranshi 7 duka mata ne. Yar autar yanzu she's 13 kuma ita kadai ce a gabanshi tana gidan dan uwanshi. Sauran duk sunyi aure.

Bayan sallar maghrib a masallacin unguwarsu Saahir ya bukaci a dauren auren, nan take kuwa aka daura auren. Koda ya shigo gidan ya fada mata kuka ta fashe dashi, bawai dan auren da ya mata ba ko kuma dan wanda ya aura mata ba, Aa, ganin tsana da kyamarta data gane cikin idanunshi.

Dakin dake kusa da nata shi ya gyarawa Malam Musa da kanshi, kafin kuma ya kara tunasar da Maama alkawarin data daukar mashi. Ranar cikin gidan Malam Musa ya kwana, kafin da safe Saahir zai bashi driver suje kauyensu ya taho da diyarshi Kausar.

Dare ya tsala, babu abunda yake motsi face karar ac din dake busa mashi iska. Ya kasa bacci, yasan what he did is right, amma there is one wrong da yakeso ya gyara. Yar Baka. Kamar dan koyo haka ya fara dialing number dinta. Yanda take gurinshi itama ta kasa bacci, kullum cikin dare sai tayi kuka harta gaji dayi kafin bacci yake daukarta.

Kamar a mafarki taji wayarta na ringing, har saida ta kusa daukewa kafin tayi picking. A hankali ta kara wayar kunnenta. "Dan Gayu..." ta furta a hankali, dan gani take kamar mafarki takeyi, after two whole months.

"Yar Baka. Na fada kogin, zaki fidda ni?" Maganar daya fara mata kenan, shi kanshi ya rasa yadda akayi of all the things he wants to tell her.

Ta gane ya gano gaskia, wani kukan farin ciki ne ya hadu da dariya, "Sai yanzu ka fada kenan? To ka bari ka dan wahala kadan sannan sai na fiddo ka."

"Aa nidai, ruwan kogin suffocating dina yake, ko so kike ki rasani gaba daya? Yar Baka I miss you kamar na fiddo zuciyata na huta for some minutes. Ina zan ganki?"

"To ni banyi missing dinka ba akace? Kullum fa sai nayi kuka tunda bana ganin Dan gayu a nan."

Kamar wasa suka fara magana, a hankali ya fara bata hakuri saboda he caused that life on her, baisan halin mamanshi ba da bai kaita ba. She apologised for insulting Mamanshi kafin ta bashi address din gidansu. Kusan kwana sukayi suna waya. Washe gari kuwa after zuhr ya kirata yace mata yana gida, tasha ado iya ado tazo ta tarbeta ta shigar dashi, dama sunyi da Baba zai dawo after zuhr su gaisa da Saahir din. Inna kuwa sai haba haba takeyi dashi.

Bayan yaci abinci sun danyi fira ne yake fada mata abunda ya faru da kuma hukuncin daya dauka, ita dai batace mashi komai ba, dan ta gama sarewa da alamuran Maama. Akwai tambayar dayakeso ya mata, dukda dai yasan amsar amma it breaks his heart. He could remember tace Mamanshi ita ta bata ta, does that mean sun aikata alfasha da mamanshi? He knows the answer, amma he doesn't want to be believe. Kuma bayaso yayi asking dinta because he's definitely going to break his heart.

Har bakin motarshi ta rakashi, sai dariya takeyi kamar wacce ta tsinci hakuri. Ita kanta batasan tana san Saahir da gasken gasken ba saida suka rabu. Har zai shiga mota ya juyo, "Yar Baka na turo a saka mana ranar aure gobe?" Dariya ta fashe dashi, duk tunaninta wasa yake.

"Eh ka turo, Ina nan ina jiran dangin Dan gayu."

As he said, goben saidai ya kirata yace mata ga brothers din babanshi nan sun taho. Duk iya rudewa ta rude. Haka ta fada wa Inna nan suka fara shiri cikin gaggawa. Baba ma ya kira brothers dinshi. Sunzo sunyi tambaya kuma an basu, amma sai suka roki alfarma akan a saka bikin wata daya dan kuwa yaran kudu yakeson komawa da aiki babu bukatar wani jinkiri, dan ko cokali bazasu bukata ba.

Dakyar Baba ya yarda, haka aka saka rana ana jiran tazo. Tunda aka saka ranar kullum sai Habiba ta kira Sakina suna shirye shirye, Inna kuwa batayi kasa a guiwa ba wajen gyara duka yaran nata biyu, dan gani take yanzu dukansu zata hadasu ta musu auren.

Rana bata karya, saidai uwar diya taji kunya, yau aka daure auren Habiba Abdullahi Bello da angonta Saahir Mukhtar Maigida. Babu kalar mutanen da basuzo daurin auren ba, mostly friends din baban Saahir ne da kuma business partners dinsu.

Sakinah karshen rudewa tayita, daga Baba har Inna kowa kanta yake, aike taje nan taje can. Ya T ma ya samu halarta, dan kuwa Arhaan da kanshi yaje ya daukoshi daga camp din, san cewa yayi, yayi missing bikin Sakina bai kamata ace yayi na Habiba ba. Cikin Sakina yanzu yana cikin wata bakwai zuwa takwas, tayi nauyi amma hakan bai saka ta zauna taki taya yaruwarta hidima ba.

Wajen 5:30 jirgin su Habiba da Saahir ya daga zuwa garin ikko, wato Lagos. Apartment ne hadadde na gani na fada a valley estate. Driver dinshi yazo daukarsu, koda suka iso gidan key ya bata ta bude ta shiga kafin ya shigo masu da akwatunansu. Tanaso ta tambayeshi ya Maama amma ta kasa, but da suka sauka taji yana waya da Maama yana fada mata cewar sun sauka har taji sun gaisa da Kauthar, alamar dai komai lafiya.

Wanka sukayi sukaci abinci kafin sukayi sallah kamar yadda kowane ma'aurata sukeyi. Hugging dinta yayi ta gefe yana sauke numfashi. "Yar Baka I can't believe this, wai kece matata. Dan Allah tell me it's not a dream." Dariya tayi kafin ta kwantar da kanta saman shoulder dinshi.

"It's not a dream, Dan gayu, no matter how unreal it looks. We're married now." Sunkuyowa yayi da niyyar yayi kissing dinta amma ta zille tana dariya.

"Ai kace baka fada kogin ba ko? Ka bani sai kaga babu sarki sai Allah zama ka fada kogin ne." Binta ya farayi tsakar dakin.

"Yar baka nikam bazan iya ba, nagaji. Okay naji, na fada kogin, nayi iyo har na gaji, ki saka kugiya ki fiddo ni." Wata dariya suka fashe da ita a tare kafin ta dawo inda yake, da kanta tayi merging lips dinsu waje daya, ans gradually, they become one.
