Bakin Rijiya Book One English Translation

Hafsat And Her Teacher

“Hafsat!”

Their teacher shouted her name. The entire class became frightened by the loud shout, but
Hafsat did not react. She did not even raise her head to look at him.

The teacher came quickly and hit the desk before her.

In anger, he said:

“How dare you! Are you stupid?”

Hafsat stood slowly and replied calmly:

“No, sir. I am not.”

The teacher became even angrier and told her to repeat what she had said. She repeated it
without fear.

Wanting to humiliate her, he said:

“Look into my eyes and repeat after me. Say, ‘You are stupid.’”

Hafsat smiled wickedly and said:

“You, you are stupid.”

The teacher was shocked. He slapped her hard, and she began crying.

Hafsat Reports The Teacher

Hafsat went directly to the principal’s office, crying like a pampered child. When the
principal saw her, he quickly stood because he knew that if care was not taken, another
teacher might lose his job because of her.

He asked her what happened.

Hafsat mixed truth with lies and reported everything. The teacher was later called and
forced to apologize to her.

Hafsat then decided whether she would tell her father or not, because her father owned the
school and nobody could touch her and remain safe.

She was her father’s only daughter and the apple of his eye.

Poojah Returns To Class

When Hafsat returned to class, the boys started shouting:

“Poojah! Poojah! Poojah!”

One rich boy asked whether the teacher had been punished.

Another boy said he wished she had reported him fully. He also said she should have slapped
the teacher back because she was the daughter of the school owner.

Hafsat became annoyed because he sounded as if she had not done enough.

She told him that if she wanted to slap the teacher, it would have been one of the easiest
things for her.

The students continued praising her until she became tired of the noise and ordered them
to keep quiet.

Immediately, everyone returned to their seats.

Hafsat’s Bad Habit At School

Hafsat’s behavior in school was always like this. During exams, she sometimes submitted a
blank paper just to show arrogance. Any teacher who failed her risked losing their job.

Her father did not see anything wrong with her behavior because the school belonged to him
and he loved her too much.

The Driver’s Mistake

School closed around 1:50 p.m. Hafsat looked down from upstairs but did not see her driver’s
car. She walked down without watching where she was going.

When she reached the gate, the driver arrived. He quickly collected her bag and opened the
car for her.

Inside the car, the driver began begging her.

He explained that the tire had a problem and begged her not to make him lose his job.

Hafsat coldly told him that his biggest mistake was asking for forgiveness, because she did
not like hearing the word “sorry.”

The driver was sweating because he knew the job fed his mother and younger siblings.

Hafsat Complains To Her Father

Hafsat ran to her father crying and complained that the driver had kept her waiting until
she reached the gate on foot.

Her father asked the driver what happened.

The driver explained that the tire had a problem and begged for forgiveness.

Hafsat insisted that she wanted him dismissed.

The driver begged again, saying the job was his only source of food.

Her father decided that another driver would be assigned to Hafsat, while Ayuba would now
drive Hajiya and wash the cars in the house.

Life At Home

Hafsat threw her school bag in the sitting room and scattered her shoes carelessly while
heading upstairs.

She was clean by nature, but she did not like seeing the house workers resting. Mero, one
of the workers, picked her things and placed them properly.

Mero then asked what Hafsat wanted to eat.

Hafsat ignored her.

Mero prepared snacks and apple-avocado smoothie for her, but Hafsat rejected them rudely.
She demanded grilled fish, chips, sugarcane, and apple juice instead.

Mero remained patient because she was used to Hafsat’s behavior. Among all the workers,
Mero was the closest to her.

Shammaz Returns

One day, Hafsat returned from school and saw many people at the gate. Most were relatives.
She did not think much of it until she saw Abba Haris.

She ran to him and said she wanted to go with him to see Ummi.

He promised to come himself and take her when her school holiday started.

Hafsat then asked whether he would change her phone because the one she had was no longer
in fashion.

Abba Haris promised to buy her a Blackberry Bold 4.

Shammaz, her elder brother who had just returned after about eight years abroad, watched
her behavior and wondered whether their parents had still not stopped pampering her.

Hafsat Insults Guests

Inside the sitting room, Hafsat greeted only Aunty Surayyah, the only person she feared.
When Surayyah asked why she ignored the others, Hafsat grudgingly greeted everyone.

Some people laughed and saw it as childishness, while others knew it was arrogance but kept
quiet because they benefited from her mother’s generosity.

Later, she shouted for Mero in front of the guests and complained that she was hungry.

Mero served her snacks and pepper chicken, but Hafsat angrily poured the food on the floor
and demanded shredded chicken.

Before she knew what was happening, Shammaz slapped her hard.

Shammaz Disciplines Hafsat

Everyone rushed to beg Shammaz. Mero tried to hold Hafsat and comfort her.

Shammaz looked at Mero angrily and warned her to leave Hafsat alone. He ordered Hafsat to
clean the mess she made.

Hafsat cried as she cleaned the place.

After she finished, Shammaz told her she must eat the same food she poured away.

She tried to go upstairs with the plate, but Shammaz ordered her to sit there and finish it
before him.

Hafsat cried while eating until she finished everything.

Hafsat Locks Herself In

After eating, Hafsat went upstairs, locked her room, and began crying loudly. She broke
things in anger and refused to open the door, no matter how much her mother and others
begged her.

Aunty Surayyah called Shammaz.

Shammaz came to the door and warned Hafsat that if he found her inside without opening the
door, she would regret it.

Out of fear, she opened the door.

He took her to his section and spoke to her firmly. He told her she was old enough to know
better and warned her against throwing tantrums.

He also told her that from that day onward, every two days she would come to clean his
section herself.

Hafsat agreed quickly, but in her heart, she planned to run to Abba Haris’s house after her
exams.

School Discipline

The next morning, Shammaz was seated outside reading a newspaper and drinking hot mint-leaf
coffee when he saw Hafsat coming out around 9:30 a.m.

He was surprised.

He called the driver and asked where they were going at that time.

The driver said he was taking Hafsat to school.

Shammaz asked when they were supposed to leave, and the driver explained that school time
was seven in the morning, but Hafsat only came out whenever she wanted.

Shammaz became angry. He ordered that from then on, Hafsat must open the car door herself
and enter by herself. The driver must not call her “small Hajiya,” and she must be the one
to greet him.

He also ordered the driver to report if Hafsat was not ready by 7:30 a.m.

Hafsat Begins To Change

After Shammaz returned, Hafsat’s life changed completely. Even at school, people noticed
that she had become quieter.

She feared Shammaz deeply and avoided anything that would make him scold her.

She also began avoiding him whenever he entered the sitting room. Shammaz noticed this and
did not like seeing her lose her liveliness, even though he wanted her to become better.

Shammaz And Hafsat Talk

One day, Hafsat was watching a cartoon when Shammaz entered. She stood to run away, but he
called her back.

She returned with tears already falling.

Shammaz gently told her to sit beside him. He said he was her elder brother from the same
father and mother, and there was no reason for her to fear him so much.

He told her they were now best friends.

Hafsat smiled faintly and thanked him.

Then he told her he wanted to transfer her to Premier School, where she would take an
interview for SS1.

Going To Haleema’s House

Shammaz later told Hafsat to prepare because they would go out together to visit the woman
he intended to marry, Aunty Haleema.

Hafsat became happy and prepared.

At the exact time he mentioned, she came to his car wearing blue jeans, a red top, and a red
scarf. Shammaz praised her punctuality and took her along.

On the way, he asked what kind of phone she wanted because he had not brought her a gift
from abroad.

Hafsat only said any phone would be fine because she was still not completely relaxed with
him.

Haleema’s Family

When they reached Haleema’s house, Shammaz asked Hafsat to go in and greet Haleema’s mother
before Haleema came out.

Hafsat entered with a greeting, but nobody answered her. The sitting room was filled with
young women and an older woman.

She asked for Aunty Haleema.

The older woman asked whether Hafsat did not know how to greet people.

Hafsat replied that she had been greeting them since, but they ignored her.

The woman became angry and asked who she was. Hafsat said Shammaz had sent her to call
Haleema.

When Haleema came out and realized Hafsat was Shammaz’s sister, she quickly changed her
attitude and began pretending to be friendly.

Hafsat did not like the family from that first meeting.

Hafsat’s Interview Mistake

The next day, Hafsat went for the school interview. By mistake, she entered the interview
meant for SS3 students instead of SS1.

Surprisingly, she came first among about thirty-two students.

When the school discovered the issue, they still insisted that she should remain in SS3
because she had passed the SS3 interview excellently.

Shammaz first argued that she was too young, but when she was tested again and performed
well, he allowed her to continue.

He later asked how she knew SS3 work, and she explained that she used to read different
books in the school library, from nursery level to SS3, and asked teachers whenever she did
not understand something.

Shammaz became satisfied and prayed for her.

Shammaz’s Family

Shammaz is the first child of Alhaji Muhammad Gaya and Hajiya Nasara. For many years after
his birth, they believed they would not have another child. When Hafsat was eventually
born, they placed too much love and pampering on her.

The wider family is close and wealthy, with many educated relatives. Hafsat is also deeply
loved by her grandparents and relatives, which adds to the way she is pampered.

Haleema’s Background

Shammaz and Haleema had known each other since secondary school. He loved her deeply and
remained attached to her even after spending about eight years abroad studying to become a
heart doctor.

But Haleema’s family had poor manners, and she herself was not as innocent as Shammaz
believed. She had other relationships, while Shammaz was sincerely focused on her.

Hafsat’s Confusion

As Shammaz’s wedding approached, Hafsat became restless. She could not understand why talk
of his marriage made her heart heavy.

She became sad whenever she did not see him. She also felt uneasy whenever he looked happy
because of the wedding.

Her friend Huda visited her and noticed her condition. Hafsat told Huda that she felt as
if jinn had touched her because she did not understand her emotions.

Huda became worried but tried to explain it away as jealousy toward Shammaz’s future wife.

The Wedding Invitation

One day, Shammaz brought the wedding invitation cards to their father. Everyone was happy,
and their father prayed for him.

But when Hafsat saw the invitation card, she broke down crying and ran to her room.

Shammaz followed her and held her gently, asking what happened.

Hafsat cried and confessed that whenever the wedding was mentioned, she felt as if she would
die. She said she could not eat, could not rest, and felt pain in her heart whenever she
imagined the marriage.

Shammaz became deeply troubled by her words. He carefully told her that it might be a
spiritual disturbance trying to come between them as siblings, and he advised her to pray
and not tell anyone.

But Mero secretly heard the conversation and became worried. She believed the matter was
serious and decided to tell Hafsat’s mother the truth.
