Yayana Ne Complete Hausa Novel By Amfa.txt

<p>The Next Day</p><p>Dije was sweeping the compound and cleaning the area where the sheep and goats were tied.</p><p>“Dijen Baffa, you’re busy with work, I see?”</p><p>“Baffa, I’m almost done.”</p><p>She knelt respectfully.</p><p>“Good morning, Baffa.”</p><p>“Good morning, my daughter.”</p><p>Just then, Inna stepped out of the house. Baffa turned to her.</p><p>“I’m going to see Yaya Jabeeru before the sun gets too hot.”</p><p>“Alright, may Allah protect you.”</p><p>“Ameen, Baffa, may Allah keep you safe.”</p><p>“Ameen, Dije.”</p><p>Baffa left and headed to Yaya Jabeeru’s house, which wasn’t far from his own. As he reached the entrance, he saw Jabeeru’s son coming out.</p><p>“Ah, Mannir.”</p><p>“Uncle, good morning.”</p><p>“Good morning, Mannir. Is your father inside?”</p><p>“Yes, Uncle, he hasn’t left yet.”</p><p>“Good. Go and tell him I need to speak with him, please.”</p><p>“Uncle, won’t you come inside?”</p><p>“No, Mannir, just tell him I’m outside.”</p><p>“Alright, Uncle.”</p><p>Baffa leaned against the wall, waiting. Not long after, Mannir returned.</p><p>“Uncle, he said you should come in.”</p><p>“Alright, let’s go.”</p><p>Baffa entered and greeted Yaya Jabeeru, who was sitting under the shade of a tree on a woven mat.</p><p>“Audu, how many times do I have to tell you? When you come, just enter the house instead of standing outside like a stranger!”</p><p>“I’m sorry, Yaya. You have a family, and I don’t want to walk in at an inconvenient time.”</p><p>“I understand, Audu. But you don’t always have to stand at the entrance.”</p><p>“Alright, Yaya. Good morning.”</p><p>“Good morning. How is Halima and Dije?”</p><p>“They are both fine, Yaya.”</p><p>After exchanging pleasantries, Baffa cleared his throat and got straight to the point.</p><p>“Yaya, I wanted to discuss Dije’s marriage to Alhaji Kabeer’s son, Ammar.”</p><p>“Yes, I’m aware of it, but I haven’t heard any updates. If he isn’t serious, we should drop the matter.”</p><p>“No, Yaya. Alhaji Kabeer came to see me yesterday. He said he wants everything to be done quickly since all arrangements have been made. He would like the wedding to take place before he travels. That’s why I wanted to discuss it with you today.”</p><p>“Alhamdulillah. Everything happens at the right time, Audu. Which date do you have in mind?”</p><p>“Yaya, whatever date you suggest is fine. Once you decide, I’ll inform them immediately.”</p><p>“Alright, tell him the wedding will be in one week.”</p><p>“Okay, Yaya. May Allah make it successful.”</p><p>“Ameen, Audu. May Allah forgive our late father and mother, and may He unite our family in a way that will make us proud even after we are gone.”</p><p>“Ameen, Yaya. Ameen.”</p><p>Baffa bid farewell to Yaya Jabeeru and headed home, where he found Inna alone.</p><p>“Malam, you’re back already?”</p><p>“Yes, I am.”</p><p>She stood up, picked up a mat, and spread it for him to sit. He sat down and looked at her.</p><p>“I spoke with Yaya Jabeeru. The wedding will take place in one week.”</p><p>Just then, they heard the sound of clay breaking on the ground—Tush!</p><p>Baffa turned quickly.</p><p>Dije was crouched down.</p><p>“Subhanallah! Dije, what happened?”</p><p>She quickly swallowed something stuck in her throat but struggled to speak. Gathering herself, she replied,</p><p>“Baffa, I wasn’t paying attention and tripped.”</p><p>“Are you hurt?”</p><p>“No, Baffa. Just my little toe is aching a bit, but it’s nothing serious.”</p><p>“Alright, take care of yourself.”</p><p> </p><p> </p>
