Gabanta ne yayi mugun fad’uwa, cikin rawar jiki da na murya mai cike da in ina ta k’arasa inda Shuwan take ta hau kame-kame “Da da ddmn kawai nn ccemishi bai kky…”
Wani wawan marin da Shuwa ta kwasheta da shi ne yasa ta kasa k’arasawa, bata dawo daidai ba ta k’ara mata wani wanda yasa har sai da ta kai k’asa tana shirin tashi ta rufeta da duka.
Sai da Shuwa tayi mata lilis!! Kamar ba ita ta tsugunna ta haifeta ba, dan har sai da takai bata iya kuka tsabar azaba, tukunnan ta kyaleta tana mai cewa

Tana gama fad’in haka ta wuce ta isa wajen landline d’in, ta gwada yafi sau nawa amman dai ko ba a d’auka bane ko kuma bai tafi ba.

Kamar a mafarki taji ana tab’a fuskarta ana haskawa da tochila, bud’e idanuwanta taci gaba da yi, bata ganin komai sai hasken fitilar, sama-sama take jin muryar Ya Usman yana cewa “Abba ba sai ka kira Likitanba, ta farfad’o.
Da sauri Madu ya k’araso yana tamabayarta “mai ya faru? Mai ya sameta?” Bata ida bashi amsa ba Shuwa wadda ke shigowa yanzu tace “Ni da ita ne.”
Da mamaki ya mik’e ya juya yana mata kallon tuhuma kafin ya ce “ke da ita? ban gane ba.”

Da mamaki Shuwa take kallon shi dan bai tab’a yi mata haka ba. Kallon Maryam d’in tayi da take k’ok’arin zama, sannan tace “kamata nayi ta kira wanchan Yaron na makarantarsu, tana cewa za a yi mata auren dole.

Madu bai bari ta k’arasa ba ya rufeta da fad’a, shi kanshi ya manta rabon da yayi mata fad’a hakan suna a su kad’ai ma, ballantana a gaban Yara.
Sai da yayi mata tatas tare da kwakkwaran kashedin kar ta sake dukar masa Y’a, tukunna ya juya ya fita ranshi a mugun b’ace! Shi a ganinshi yanzu Maryam ai ta wuce mari ma ballantana irin wannan dukan, kuma abun haushin ta tsallaketa ta barta ko bi ta kanta ma bata yiba, idan ma mutuwa zatayi bata damuba kenan.!
Sai da yaje masallaci ya zauna shi d’aya, daga baya yayi ta karatun Qur’ani tukunna ya d’an samu zuciyarshi tayi sanyi.
Shi kanshi ya san idan akwai abu mafi soyuwa a rayuwar sa to Maryam ce, baya jin akwai uban da yake son Y’arshi a duniyar nan kamar yadda yake son Maryam, shi yasa idan ya tuna ranar Jumaar nan zai aura mata wanda bata so sai yaji gabanshi yana ta fad’uwa, amman bashi da yadda zai yi ne shiyasa, hakan it’s the right thing to do.
Ita kuwa Shuwa da kyar ta fita daga shock d’in data shiga na fad’an da Madu ya rufeta da shi, aikuwa akan Maryam itama ta zazzage nata fad’an, kafin ta juya tayi d’akinta.
Maryam mamakin yadda Shuwa ta juya mata baya lokaci d’aya take yi, ita kam zata yi k’ok’arin yin yak’i da zuciyarta ta rabu da Abba dan taga abun nasu yana shirin tab’a har zaman lafiyan iyayenta.
