Sai lokacin Tasneem take kallon Hijabin Hamna ɗin da jini yake a jiki da gefen wandon ta, haka ma jikin Sabeena, girgiza kai take a karona farko bayan watanni da dama da ta ji idanuwanta sun ciko da hawaye, ta ɗauka wannan ɓangaren nata ya riga da ya mutu.

A tsorace Ummi ta ware idanuwanta kan Hamna. 

“Me ya sami Azrah ɗin? Tana ina?”

“Mota ta bugeta… Ta mutu Ummi.. Jini…Jini ko’ina…”

Hamna ta ƙarasa da ƙyar, tureta Ummi ta yi tana rugawa ɗaki da sauri, hijab ta ɗauko ta fito, takalmanta ta zo sawa taga sai wari ɗaya. Haka ta haɗa nata da na Tasneem ta saka, ta kama hannun Hamna da na Sabeena suna ficewa. Gidan ma janshi ta yi, har can ƙofar gaba ɗaya bata kulle ba, janta kawai ta yi.

Ta san mutane na kallonta, amma bata damu ba, ƙafafuwanta kawai take so ya kaita titin da zai tsallaka da ita Islamiyyar su Azrah. Mutanen da ta gani a gefen titin yasa zuciyarta ƙara gudu wajen dokawar da take yi . Ture mutane kawai take tana son ƙarasawa.

Wani mutum ya tambaya. Ko kallonshi Tasneem bata yi ba, wanda yake gabanta kawai tasa hannu tana fisgo rigarshi ta ture shi gefe ɗaya. Ganin yadda take ture mutane yasa su tabbatar da tana da alaƙa da yarinyar da ke kwance, don haka suka matsa mata.

“Wai ya ma akai mai motar nan ya gudu? Wanne irin rashin imani ne wannan?”

“Azrah… Azrah… Azrah…”

Tasneem take faɗi a tsorace, ko motsi bata yi ba, hawaye ke zuba daga idanuwan Tasneem kamar an mata gorinsu, bata yi ƙoƙarin gogewa ba, fuskar Azrah kawai take shafawa ko zata samu taga ta motsa. 

“Ba za ki barni ba kema… Kina jina ko? Tashi za ki yi Azrah… Wallahi ku kaɗai ne dalilin da nake ƙoƙarin rayuwa kullum… Karki barni a wannan lokacin… Azrah ki tashi.”

Tasneem ke faɗi tana wani irin kuka. Dai-dai lokacin da Ummi ta ƙaraso, dafa Tasneem ɗin ta yi da ta juyo. 

“Ummi ta ƙi tashi wallahi… Taƙi tashi…”

Tasneem take faɗi tana riƙo hannun Ummi dam, don yau buƙatar lallashi take da ta jima bata yi ba. Bata jin zuciyarta zata iya ɗaukar rashin Azrah. 

“A kaita asibiti mana.”

Wani mutum ya faɗi, hakan ya kawo tunanin su Ummi zuwa asibiti. Ummi da kanta ta sunkuya ta ɗauki Azrah tana saɓata a kafaɗarta. Adai-daita sahu aka taro musu suka shiga zuwa ƙaramin asibitin da ke nan unguwar, sai dai kallo ɗaya suka yi wa Azrah suka ce su tafi babban asibiti.

Sai lokacin aka shiga da Azrah don a dubata. Kowa ya daina kuka banda Hamna. Har lokacin kuka take har zazzaɓi ya fara saukar mata. Kafin wani likita ya fito ya kira Ummi zuwa office ɗinshi. Su duka suka bita ya dakatar da su bakin ƙofa. 

“Ita kaɗai nake son gani. Ku jirata anan.”

“Ko me zaka faɗa mata in ya shafi Azrah ya shafemu duka. In ka ga ban shigo na ji me zaka ce ba bana numfashi ne malam.”

Hamna ta faɗi muryarta a dakushe. Tasneem ma da idanuwanta take faɗa mishi babu abinda zai hana su jin ko me zai faɗa. Numfashi ya sauke don bai ga ma amfanin shiga office ɗin ba. Kafin ya kalli Ummi da ta ɗan ɗaga mishi kai alamar zai iya faɗan koma menene. 

“Ciwukan da ke wajen jikinta basu da wani haɗari amma tana zubda jini ta ciki, da alama akwai ciwo a cikinta. Dole sai mun mata aiki, kafin mu taɓa ta muna buƙatar dubu tamanin…”
