Zuriarmu Book One English Translation
“Manane! Manane! Are you not going to get up and get ready? Do you want to be late for
school?”
“Umma, today we do not have lectures until nine o’clock.”
“Even so, get up and get ready so that Samira will not come and meet you still unprepared.”
“Okay, Umma. Let me get up.”
“Hmm, as if you are serious.”
Hajiya Rahama left the room and closed the door behind her. She was the mother of Manane
and Yesmine.
As soon as Umma left, Manane stretched her legs from the edge of the bed, yawned, and
began praising Allah. Then she started grumbling.
“Every day, a person must go to school, school, school.”
She pushed out her lips in complaint.
Looking at Aicha, I said, “As if this education will not benefit her.”
That was when I looked at her properly. She was a young girl who could not be more than
thirteen or fourteen years old. She was fair and beautiful, with a long nose and small
pink lips. Allah had blessed her with expressive eyes and plenty of hair. Although she
tied her hair with a ribbon, some strands still escaped and fell on her forehead.
She was not very tall, but she could not be called short either. She was of average
height.
As she sat there, she heard the voice of her friend Samira greeting Umma.
Umma said,
“Go inside and see whether she has woken up, because I am tired of waking her.”
Immediately, Manane jumped up and rushed into the toilet.
After fifteen minutes, she came out and found Samira waiting for her. She laughed because
she knew she was guilty.
“Sambaby, you are already here?”
Samira replied,
“Hmm, Manane, you never listen. But I will pay you back. Look at the time. You have
almost made us late. It is already 8:40.”
Manane said,
“Today it is Mallam Habib. He will not stop us from entering.”
“Even so, hurry up and get ready so we can leave.”
“Okay.”
After about ten minutes, they came out and found Umma in the living room watching
television.
As they were about to leave, Umma asked,
“Are you not going to take breakfast?”
“No, we are already late. Besides, breakfast does not really interest me. As long as I
have chocolate and ice cream, I have no problem.”
Umma warned her,
“Reduce the way you take sweet things so that by the end of the month, you will not
come crying to me because of your period pains.”
They greeted her goodbye and left.
At the gate of the college, their driver stopped. They came out of the car. Truly, the
college was beautiful. Even from the gate, one could see that it was a school for the
children of wealthy families.
When they entered the school, I also held Aicha’s hand, and we followed the driver back
to the house.
A Happy Family News
About one hour after they left, Umma was still sitting in the living room watching a
series on Zee Magic when her phone rang.
She picked it up and greeted warmly.
“Good morning, Hajiya Fatima. How are you?”
I could not hear what was being said from the other side, but I saw her smile widen.
“Safara has given birth to twins? Congratulations! May Allah bless and raise them well.
Which hospital are they in?”
She became quiet for a moment before saying,
“I hope you have told Hajiya Aichatou. Okay, I am coming now too.”
When she arrived at the hospital, she met Hajiya Aichatou at the entrance of the room
where Safara was staying. They opened the door and entered.
Inside the room were Safara, Ya Adam, who was Hajiya Fatima’s son, Safara’s mother, and
Safara’s elder sister. The twins were in the arms of Muhsin and Muhsana, Adam’s younger
siblings.
They sat down after exchanging greetings and congratulated Safara.
Umma began teasing Ya Adam, saying he should go out and allow Safara to rest. He only
laughed and scratched his head shyly.
Manane Returns From School
As soon as Manane entered the living room, she started calling,
“Umma! Umma! I am back!”
An elderly house worker came out from the kitchen and said,
“Welcome back, Manane.”
Manane replied,
“Thank you, Baba.”
She sat down and asked,
“Where is Umma?”
Baba replied,
“Umma has gone to the hospital. Your aunty Safara has given birth to twins.”
Manane screamed with joy so loudly that even I became frightened.
“Alhamdulillah! Congratulations to us!”
She even danced a little in excitement.
Just then, Yesmine, Manane’s younger sister, came in. From her uniform, it was clear
that she too had returned from school.
She entered the living room and greeted. Then she asked,
“Ya Manane, what is all this happiness about?”
Manane replied,
“Anty Safara has given birth to twins. I am already thinking we should organize a small
party.”
“That is true, sister. Twins are special.”
From that moment, Manane called her friend Sambaby and told her about the party idea.
Truly, Manane and her friends behaved like grown ladies.
After Maghrib prayer, Safara was discharged from the hospital. Ya Adam took his wife
Safara straight to their house, although they all lived in the same neighborhood.
Safara asked,
“Have you informed the people in America?”
Ya Adam replied,
“No. I have been calling since earlier, but the call was not going through. Let me try
again now.”
After the phone rang once or twice, it was answered.
He greeted,
“Assalamu alaikum, brother. How are you?”
I could not hear what was said from the other side, but Ya Adam continued,
“We have received an addition to our family. Safara has given birth to twins, a boy and
a girl.”
He became silent, listening.
Then he said,
“Really? In one month, all of you will finish completely? Alhamdulillah. Masha Allah.
Study well so that you come out with good results, though I know you do not play with
your studies. Okay, they will hear, insha Allah. Greet your brother when he returns.”
They exchanged goodbye, and he ended the call.
The Naming Ceremony
On the day of the naming ceremony, the twins were named after Adam’s grandparents:
Alhaji Fayçal and Hajiya Balkissa. They were to be called Adnane and Afnane.
Truly, a lot of money was spent on the ceremony, perhaps because they were the first
grandchildren in the family lineage.
Manane and her friends even organized a small party. The children in America also sent
three suitcases filled with clothes for the twins.
May Allah bless and raise them well.
Let us continue.
Zuri’armu — Our Family
Story written by Aicha and Fasma.
Chapter Two
The day after the naming ceremony was Sunday, so there was no school. Manane and Yesmine
returned from Islamiyya and told Umma that they wanted to go shopping.
Umma said,
“I will not give you money to go and buy small unnecessary things. Wait until evening,
then we will go together.”
Manane replied,
“Umma, you will make us pick big things. Let us go to Mom instead. She will give us.”
They quickly ran out before Umma could stop them.
As they entered, they met Muhsana at the door.
Muhsana said,
“I was even coming to your house. Mom said we should get ready now so the driver can
take us shopping.”
Yesmine said,
“Honestly, I respect you. That is exactly what we came to ask for.”
They said they would go back and get ready, and asked Muhsana to greet Mom and tell her
that once they were ready, they would come back.
When they returned home, each of them went to her room to get ready.
After thirty minutes, they came out and went to Muhsana’s house.
When they entered, they saw Mom watching television. Beside her was a small plate filled
with fruits, and she was eating from it.
They greeted her, and she answered warmly.
Manane lay down and placed her head on Mom’s lap, acting spoiled. Mom also played along
with her.
Yesmine went upstairs to call Muhsana.
When they came down, they were surprised to see Manane crying in a spoiled way, tapping
her feet on the floor and saying,
“Honestly, no.”
They asked,
“Mom, what did you do to Ya Manane?”
Mom replied,
“What is your business? This is between me and my daughter.”
Yesmine said,
“Wallahi, Mom, you are the one spoiling this girl.”
Mom comforted Manane and whispered something into her ear. After that, Manane stood,
and they all left.
One Month Later In America
One month later, at a high school in America, a graduation ceremony was being held for
medical specialists. It was a ceremony attended by important people in the country.
I saw Dad, Abba, and Daddy there. Close to them were some young men who could not be
more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Their strong resemblance to Dad and Abba
made me move closer to them.
One of them looked more like Dad and Abba, though he was more handsome. He was fair and
attractive. Even though he was seated, his appearance showed that he was tall. He had
a beard on his face, small pink lips, and a long nose.
When I looked at his eyes, I was amazed. His eyes were expressive and attractive.
The one beside him was also handsome, masha Allah. They looked alike, though this one
had a chocolate complexion and no beard. He looked more like Daddy.
I had not finished wondering about them when I saw that their names were called among
those who would receive certificates.
My surprise increased when I heard the name Ridwane Abdul Wahid Fayçal.
The fair young man stood and collected his certificate.
The other one also stood when the name Haïdar Ismael was called.
Could they be the children of Abba?
