A Jinina Take Book One Complete Hausa Novel

A Jinina Take Book One Complete Hausa Novel continues the story of the identical twin sisters, Afaaf and Afrah, whose strong bond is tested by school discipline, Qur’an memorization, pride, and the arrival of Gwani Affan as their new class teacher.

In this English translation, Afaaf’s stubbornness grows stronger as she refuses to take Gwani Affan seriously, while Afrah tries to guide her with patience and sisterly wisdom. Their family also steps in, showing that discipline, education, and faith are important values in their home.

Afaaf Wants To Sleep

“I want to sleep.”

That was the first time her voice became clear. It was Afaaf speaking, and by Allah’s wisdom, her voice was exactly like Afrah’s. If one of them spoke while hidden, even someone who knew them well might not be able to tell which twin was speaking unless he saw her face.

Afrah looked at her seriously.

“Madam, take your Qur’an and read. You know Gwani’s character.”

Afaaf pushed her lips forward stubbornly before answering:

“Today, I want to challenge him, wallahi. He is always frowning and acting as if he is someone important, when he is not even anybody. What kind of pride is this? Why should he say he will collect memorization on his first day in our class? I will not memorize anything.”

She began looking for a place to lie down.

Afrah quickly held her and frowned.

“Lulu, get out of my sight if you want to behave like this. Are you speaking about Gwani like that? Stand up and read. You know very well that he will not tolerate your stubbornness.”

Afaaf, whom Afrah called Lulu, replied weakly:

“Please, Didi, leave me alone.”

In her heart, she was still thinking about the strict attitude Gwani Affan was trying to show.

Afrah Forces Her To Read

Afrah folded her arms and tightened her face. Then she continued her own memorization silently.

Afaaf lay down, but she could not sleep. The expression on Afrah’s face disturbed her. She knew Didi was not truly angry, but she also knew that Afrah would not be pleased until she saw her reading.

After a while, Afaaf hissed quietly and sat up.

Afrah did not look at her, even though she already knew Afaaf would not be able to lie down peacefully while she was displeased with her.

Afaaf climbed down from the bed, took her Qur’an, and returned. She did not look at Afrah. She simply opened the Qur’an and began reading silently.

But in truth, she was not memorizing.

She had already decided that she would not memorize anything for Gwani Affan. Instead, she only began revising what she already knew, with her mind completely at ease.

She finished before Afrah.

When she noticed that Afrah still had not looked at her, she rested her head on Afrah’s shoulder. Afrah was on the last verse of the memorization she was repeating.

After Afrah finished, she raised her hand and tapped Afaaf lightly on the head.

Afaaf pushed her lips forward.

“Kai, Didi. I have read now. Forgive me.”

Afrah smiled.

She had not truly been angry with Afaaf. She only acted that way because she wanted her to read. So she said:

“Fine, I have heard you. But stop this behavior, especially when it comes to Gwani Affan. I do not understand what is wrong with you.”

Afaaf’s Problem With Gwani Affan

Afaaf twisted her mouth.

She had no interest in hearing anything about Gwani Affan, not at school and not at home.

“It is nothing, Didi. He just carries himself too much.”

Afrah cut her off.

“Enough, Afaaf. This is what you always say.”

Afaaf quickly held Afrah’s hand.

“Please, Didi, let us leave this matter. By Allah, it annoys me.”

“Fine,” Afrah said as she tried to stand.

Afaaf tilted her head playfully.

“No, Didi. How will I know you have truly forgiven me? Smile.”

She said it with a smile that revealed her beauty even more.

Afrah also smiled, and that smile made their resemblance even more confusing. Everything about them looked the same, even their smiles.

The Next Day

The next day, around half past two in the afternoon, Afrah finished preparing for Islamiyya.

She looked at Afaaf, who had been lying on the bed since they returned from regular school, claiming she was not feeling well.

Because Afrah was already late, she quickly tied her niqab in front of their large beautiful mirror. Then she picked up her bag and came out.

Ammi looked at her and asked:

“Have you finished preparing? Will you not wait and eat?”

Afrah replied:

“No, Ammi. I am in a hurry. I do not want to be late. I will eat when I return.”

Ammi said:

“May Allah protect you.”

Then she looked toward the direction of their room.

“Where is Afaaf?”

Afrah also looked toward the room before answering:

“Ammi, she says she is not feeling well.”

Abba Comes In

Before Ammi could say anything more, Abba entered the room with a greeting.

He was a tall, mature man, and with just one look, anyone could tell that the twins had taken after him. His own beauty and appearance were clear at first sight.

Everyone answered his greeting.

Little quickly ran to hug him.

Afrah greeted him respectfully.

“Abba, welcome.”

Abba answered with warmth.

“Yes, Didi. Are you ready?”

He called her by the name most people in the house used for her. Sometimes even he called her Didi.

“Yes, Abba,” she replied.

“May Allah grant you success. But where is Afaaf?” he asked.

Again, Afrah looked toward the door of their room before answering:

“Abba, she says she is not feeling well.”

Abba frowned slightly.

“Listen to this stubborn girl. Will she get better by lying down like that? Little, go quickly and wake her up. Tell her to take medicine so she can feel better at school.”

Little did not argue. He ran straight into the room.

Little Wakes Afaaf

Little entered the room and began calling loudly:

“Lulu! Lulu!”

He placed his hand on the large blanket she had covered herself with and started pulling it away.

Afaaf hit him when he raised his voice again and called her name.

Still, he continued:

“Abba said you should come out so we can go to school.”

His voice was sweet, even though it carried a little sharpness.

Because she had hit him, he held the place she struck and squeezed his face.

“Wallahi, I will tell Abba,” he said, preparing to leave.

Afaaf quickly held him back and softened her face a little.

“Go and tell him I am not feeling well.”

Little shrugged.

“No.”

Afaaf hissed because she knew that if she continued arguing with this boy, Abba’s scolding would only increase.

So she released him and began preparing, though her face was full of annoyance.

Afaaf Pretends To Be Sick

Afaaf knew Abba very well.

She feared he might notice that her sickness was not real. So she made her face look pitiful and even forced fake tears into her eyes before coming out.

In a weak voice that trembled more than usual, she said:

“Abba, welcome.”

Abba looked at her with pity.

“Yes, my daughter. Let me get medicine for you. Take it, then you and your sister can go.”

Since she now knew that school was unavoidable because Abba had spoken, she quietly accepted her fate.

Afaaf Knows Abba’s Character

Afaaf knew that once Abba entered a matter, escaping would not be easy.

If it had been only Ammi, she might have found a way to delay or convince her. But Abba was different.

He loved them deeply, but he did not tolerate laziness when it came to learning, especially Islamic studies and Qur’an memorization.

To him, education was not something to play with.

And Afaaf understood that very well.

That was why she stopped arguing and prepared herself, even though her heart was not happy.

Afrah Watches Quietly

Afrah watched everything quietly.

She knew Afaaf was not truly sick.

She also knew the reason behind the fake sickness: Gwani Affan.

Afaaf did not want to face him.

She did not want him to collect memorization from her.

She did not want to feel as if he had won.

But Afrah also knew that running away would not solve anything. If Afaaf escaped today, she would still have to face him tomorrow.

So she said nothing.

She simply waited for her sister to finish preparing.

The Strong Bond Between The Twins

Even though Afaaf was stubborn and Afrah was calm, their bond was deep.

Afaaf could be proud to the whole world, but she could not bear Afrah’s displeasure for long.

Afrah could be soft with everyone, but when Afaaf was about to make a mistake, she knew how to become firm.

They were identical not only in face and voice, but also in a connection that went beyond ordinary sisterhood.

They understood each other’s silence.

They understood each other’s anger.

They understood when one of them was pretending.

That was why Afrah did not need anyone to tell her that Afaaf’s illness was not real.

Gwani Affan’s Shadow

Although Gwani Affan was not physically present in the house, his name had already filled the atmosphere.

He was the reason Afaaf refused to memorize.

He was the reason she tried to sleep early.

He was the reason she pretended to be sick the next day.

To Afrah, this was becoming too much.

Why did Afaaf react so strongly to him?

Was it only because he was strict?

Was it because she disliked his confidence?

Or was there something deeper in her heart that even she did not understand?

Afaaf’s Pride And Fear

Afaaf’s problem was not laziness alone.

She did not like being challenged.

She did not like anyone making her feel small.

She did not like teachers who tried to show authority too quickly.

Gwani Affan’s decision to collect memorization on his first day touched her pride directly.

But beneath that pride was another feeling: fear of being exposed as unprepared.

Rather than admit that she had not memorized properly, she chose anger.

Rather than face him, she chose fake sickness.

But neither anger nor fake sickness could protect her forever.

Discipline In The Home

Their home was one where love and discipline lived together.

Ammi could be soft, but she did not like stubborn behavior.

Abba could be loving, but he did not accept unseriousness in education.

Little could be playful, but he carried messages quickly and directly.

Afrah could be gentle, but she had strong influence over Afaaf.

And Afaaf, despite her pride, knew that she was surrounded by people who would not allow her to destroy herself through stubbornness.

The Meaning Of A Jinina Take

The title A Jinina Take suggests something deep within the blood: a bond, a feeling, a nature, or a destiny that cannot easily be removed.

For Afaaf and Afrah, sisterhood is in their blood.

Their resemblance is in their blood.

Their love is in their blood.

But Afaaf’s pride may also be part of something deep within her.

Her reaction to Gwani Affan is too strong to ignore.

Whether it is dislike, fear, pride, or hidden emotion, something inside her responds whenever his name is mentioned.

And that is where the deeper journey of the story begins.
