Tana tsaye a gaban gado tana tunanin abinda zata yi, sai taji alamun ana taba kofa, ta juya fuska a cune sanin wanda zai shigo.

Babu musu ta kwashi kafafunta, tsabar kidima ko silifas din data ware mai taushi bata tuna dashi ba, tayi gaba salalaf-salalaf kamar wadda aka kama ta nannagawa sarkin garinsu karya.

Duk taji doki da marari ya kamata don bata samu ta karewa wajen kallo sosai a jiya ba.

Taja kujera daya ta zauna, an cike kan dinning din da warmers na abinci masu kyau da plates da jugs da kofuna.

Ya Allah! Wai menene a tattare da idanun mutumin wannan ne dake kada mata ‘ya’yan hanji? Suna sanyata jin wani abu a game dashi wanda karamar kwalwarta da ranta basa fahimta? Meye a tattare da kallonshi da idan yayi mata ya kan sa ta zubar da duk masu makaman yaki da take tanada, ya dinga warware mata duk wani zaren hadda data kama daya bayan daya?

Wani sashe na zuciyarta yake watsa mata zagi iri-iri, akan bai kamata taji wani abu mai kama da dadi ba wai don kawai ya dauko mata takalmi. Ta kara sakin wani tsakin.

Bai bi ta kanta ba shi kuwa, yaja kujera wadda take gefenta na hagu, ta tsakiyarsu kuwa empty, ya ja plate yana daga warmers yana zuba abinci.

Tuni kamshi ya cika mata hanci ta kowane bangare, miyanta har wani gudana yake yi yana taruwa. Ta tabbata idan ta cigaba da cin wannan abincin, cikin lokaci kankani sai ta kanainaye ta yi kiba. Abinda ba shi ya kawota nan ba kenan.

Ta ja bowl din da faranti a gabanta, maimakon tace mishi wani abu, sai ta dauki wani cup din ta bude flask ta tsiyaya ruwan shayi daya sha kayan kamshi, ta dauki lipton din Victoria ta Minthe ta saka, ta zuba sugar ta koma ta zauna.

Taja fuska, ta fara cin abincin. Kunnenta har wani motsi yake, amma tsabar miskilanci taki nuna hakan a fuskarta.
Shima ci kawai yake yi yana gudanar da harkokin gabanshi. Wanda yawanci amsa wayane da kuma mayar da sako.

Ta ture kwanon gefe guda, ta fara kokarin tashi.
Kallonta ya yi, “Ina zaki je?”
Kafada ta daga, “Na koshi ne!”

Bai kara cewa komi ba, itama bata sake bi ta kanshi ba, ta koma kan luntsuma-luntsuman kujerun falon ta zauna.
Dama can ita ba ma’abociyar kallace-kallace bace, don haka zama tayi tana karewa falon kallo da irin kayan alatun da aka zuba mata. Har ya gama cin nashi abincin.
Sai lokacin taga yar aiki taje ta kwashe kayan da suka yi amfani dasu.

Ya tashi tsaye hannu rike da kwalin lemun exotic daya gama sha, yana jefa mata wani kallo data kasa fahimta, yace, “zo muje inyi touring dinki a gidan.”

Sai kuma ta kame bakinta ta tsuke, data fahimci kallonta yake gira a dage, daring her to say something, ta mike ta bi bayanshi.

Yana gama wannan da suka koma falo, ya juya ya fita ba tare daya ce mata uffan ba, itama bata tambayeshi inda zai je ba.

Yini guda cur haka ta yini a daki, daga barci sai wasa da waya, sai kuwa jifa-jifa da za a kirata a waya ta daga, yawanci yan yi mata murnar aure ne.
Bata kara ganin AbdulMalik ba sai da dare, shima lokacin har ta gama cin abinci, tayi wanka ta sanya kayan barci. Tana zaune akan gado tana karanta addu’ar kwanciya barci, wajen karfe goma saura kenan.

Ya tura kofar ya shiga. Daga kai tayi a hankali ta kalleshi. Shiga dakin yayi, ya jingina da bangon dakin ba tare daya maida kofar ya rufe ba.
Kallonta yake yi kasa-kasa, ita kuma bata ce komi ba, kawai tsayawa tayi tana kallonshi.

Ya ce, “How was your day, Kauthar? Kin ci abinci?!”
Kwafa tayi tana harararshi kasa-kasa, can kasan makoshinta take cewa, “Wai wani ‘kin ci abinci!’ as if you care!!”

Ya ce, “Me ki ka ce Kauthar?”

Kus! kake jinta kamar wadda ruwa ya cinye.
Wani dan murmushi ya saki, “Ga tsoro kamar farar kura, kuma ga jan magana. One of these days Kauthar, sai wannan bakin naki da ya iya tsiwa ya jawo na taune shi ko ya shiga hayyacinshi ya daina mun rashin kunya!”

Ta daga baki a matukar hargitse tana kallonshi, lebba na rawa.

Don kuwa idan har aka cigaba da tafiya a haka, AbdulMalik tsaf zai sanyata ta zubar da makaman yakin data dauka ta ruwan sanyi, watakila ba ma tare da saninta ba.
