The Family Gathers After Malam Habu’s Death

Everyone sat in the entrance area of the house. Iya Abu and all her relatives were there,
both men and women. Hanne sat quietly at one side with Iya Salmai.

The district head said:

“Let us recite Suratul Ikhlas three times for the deceased, and also recite Inna A’adhaina
Kalkauthar three times.”

After the recitation, they wiped their faces and prayed that Allah should take the reward
to Malam Habu’s grave.

Then the district head began:

“Malam Habu has passed away. He left behind one wife and eight children. His property is
this house and a large farm. But since the day he died, his debts have already been paid
from the little money he left behind.

“The scholars are here to divide the inheritance. They already have the names of the
children. They will go into the house, divide everything properly, and give everyone their
rightful share.”

Iya Abu Rejects Hanne

Iya Abu sighed and said:

“I have something to say. I am his wife and the mother of his children. Hanne is the only
outsider. So make sure she is given her own separate share. Do not mix her with the share
of my children, so there will be no trouble later.”

The district head replied:

“Abu, inheritance is not divided according to who is called an outsider. Allah Himself has
already divided inheritance. Therefore, whatever her share is, that is what she will receive.”

The scholars tried their best to divide the small house and the farm. By Allah’s will,
Hanne ended up with almost nothing except a food-storage room, a tiny dark place on the
ground with ant holes, and a very small corner in the compound. She received no share in
the farm.

Happiness covered Iya Abu because the farm and most of the rooms in the house became hers
and her children’s.

She said:

“This division is good. Now she should leave the room she is staying in.”

The district head said:

“Haba, Abu. Even after Malam Habu’s death, you still have not stopped this hatred for
Hanne? Can you not show her mercy?”

Iya Abu replied:

“There is no mercy here. I want to put tenants in the remaining rooms and collect rent.
This is inheritance property.”

Alhaji Bilya Pays Hanne’s Rent

Everyone began pleading with Iya Abu to allow Hanne to continue staying in the room until
Allah decided her matter, since sooner or later she would marry.

Iya Abu rolled her eyes and said:

“If anyone sees Hanne sleeping in that room again, then she must pay rent like a tenant.”

Among the people present was Alhaji Bilya. He said that since Iya Abu had said this, he
would be paying Hanne’s rent from that day onward.

He asked Iya Abu how much the rent for the room was. Iya Abu mentioned an exaggerated
amount, expecting him to complain or refuse. But he brought out the money and paid for one
full year without bargaining.

The district head and everyone present prayed for Alhaji Bilya.

But Hanne and Baba Uba understood his hidden intention. Alhaji Bilya wanted to marry Hanne,
and that was why he had started helping her.

A heavy sadness fell into Hanne’s heart. She knew he was serious about marrying her, but
to her, death was better than being married to him.

Hanne Becomes A Tenant In Her Father’s House

Hanne wanted to reject the rent money and leave the house, but then she asked herself where
she would go. If she went to Iya Salmai’s house, there was only one small room, and Wada
also slept there. Wada was eighteen years old, even older than her by one year, so it was
not proper for them to share one room.

Apart from that, she had no other relative’s house where she could stay.

That night, after everyone had slept, Hanne lay on her small mattress turning from side
to side. She could not sleep because of sorrow.

She kept thinking:

“Me, in my father’s house, now I have become a tenant.”

She cried until she became tired.

Then she prayed:

“O Allah, You hear and You see me. You know the painful things I have faced since the day
my mother brought me into this world. O Allah, bring me out of this condition. You are my
Protector, King of kings.”

Alhaji Bilya Asks To Marry Hanne

Hanne continued living like that for one year after her father’s death. Some days she ate,
and other days she did not. But hunger did not pain her as much as Alhaji Bilya’s movements
among her relatives, telling them that he wanted to marry her.

He even went to inform the district head.

The district head summoned Hanne and told her what Alhaji Bilya wanted. He asked whether
she agreed to marry him and whether they should arrange the marriage.

Hanne answered clearly and honestly:

“Your Highness, I do not reject the advice you gave me. But please, I want to be left as I
am. I do not want to marry anyone.”

Everyone was shocked and began exclaiming.

They asked:

“If not in this town, then where? Which girl in this town has ever reached eighteen without
getting married for the first time?”

Hanne said:

“I cannot marry Alhaji Bilya. He is like a father to me.”

That was how Hanne refused him in the district head’s palace.

Alhaji Bilya Plans Against Hanne

Alhaji Bilya was angry that Hanne rejected him, but he knew the kind of trap he would set
for her.

Three days after what happened at the palace, Alhaji Bilya came to Hanne’s house in the
middle of the day.

Hanne was lying in her room, hungry and waiting for food from Iya Salmai’s house. She was
afraid they too might not have cooked that day.

Then she heard Alhaji Bilya greeting loudly. Iya Abu came out and said:

“Alhaji, today you came by yourself to our house?”

He said:

“Yes. I came to greet you and ask when the rent money I paid will expire.”

Iya Abu laughed and scratched her head.

“I think there are still three months left.”

He said:

“Then divide the rent into four parts. Take your three parts and give me the remaining one.
Then drive Hanne out of the room if she cannot pay you. That is none of my business.”

Iya Abu frowned and said:

“But I have already spent the money. Where do you expect me to get your money from? Hanne
has nothing. Where will she get money to pay rent?”

Alhaji Bilya replied:

“You have not understood me. I am not asking you to return the money. Keep the remaining
three months’ money. What I mean is that you should remove Hanne from the room now. She is
not staying there through my saliva, and she is no longer staying through my money.”

Iya Abu laughed.

“Oh, I understand. You mean I should keep the remaining rent and still chase Hanne out if
she cannot pay?”

He laughed and said:

“That is exactly what I mean.”

Iya Abu Throws Hanne’s Things Out

Iya Abu said:

“It is done. I will throw the shameless girl out in your presence.”

Hanne’s heart sank. She sat up quickly, holding her chest and repeating:

“Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.”

Iya Abu pushed the curtain aside and entered the room. She stretched her hand toward Hanne
and said:

“Give me money.”

Hanne answered:

“I have no money.”

Iya Abu grabbed Hanne’s bag and tried to throw it outside. Hanne held it and begged her
to be patient and protect her dignity, but her begging only made Iya Abu more aggressive.

Hanne ran out of the room, knelt before Alhaji Bilya, and begged him to allow her to remain
for the remaining three months. She promised that before then, she would find a way to pay.

But he ignored her completely and told Iya Abu:

“Yes, Abu. Gather all her things and throw them out.”

Wada Finds Hanne Crying

While all this was happening, Wada arrived carrying a bowl of food for Hanne. He had brought
her lunch.

He found Hanne crying on her knees before Alhaji Bilya while Iya Abu was throwing her things
out.

Hanne cried and said:

“Wada, look at the condition I am in. Go and call Iya Salmai to come and beg them.”

Wada rushed away immediately to inform Iya Salmai about what he had seen.

Not long after, Iya Salmai, the district head, and his people entered the house. They found
Hanne in that painful condition.

The district head said:

“Subhanallah! Alhaji Bilya, at your age, what is this?”

Alhaji Bilya replied:

“Your Highness, there is no way she will continue staying with my money after she has
rejected me. That is why I came to collect my money. If Abu wants to leave Hanne to stay
for free, that is her choice. But I am no longer the one paying.”

They began advising Alhaji Bilya and Iya Abu, reminding them that life changes and that
they also had children. They too could die and leave children behind, and those children
could be treated the same way.

Hanne Moves Into The Storage Room

Hanne wiped her tears with the edge of her wrapper. Then she stood up from where she was
kneeling and turned to the district head.

She said:

“Leave them. I have accepted. I will leave the room and move into the storage room.”

She began carrying her bags into the small storage room full of ants, guinea-corn sacks,
and dust.

The Visitors From Niger

While all this was still happening, Musa, the neighbor’s son, entered and said:

“There are two men outside. They are very fair, like Arabs. They said they are looking for
Hanne, the daughter of Malam Habu.”

The district head asked:

“Arabs from where?”

Musa replied:

“They said they are from Niger.”

Everyone went outside and saw two very fair young men standing at the entrance. One of them
looked exactly like Hanne. Without being told, anyone could know they shared the same blood.

The district head asked:

“Are you the visitors from Niger?”

They answered yes and bent down to greet him.

Hanne stood aside, looking at them. She did not know them, but one of the young men looked
so much like her that there was no doubt they came from the same family line.

The district head said:

“Here is Hanne. But it seems you do not know one another.”

The one who looked like Hanne said:

“My name is Ahmad, and this is my friend, Bello Madu. I am the younger brother of Hanne’s
mother, from the same father and mother. Hanne has never seen me, and I have never seen
her. That is why I came to find her so we can meet.”

When Hanne heard this, she jumped up and hugged Ahmad. Both of them burst into tears.

The district head and everyone there shook their heads in pity.

The district head said:

“Alhamdulillah. It is good that Allah has brought you. Let us go back inside and discuss.”

Ahmad Learns Hanne’s Condition

After everyone sat down, Hanne brought water in a bowl for the visitors to drink.

The district head then explained everything to Ahmad and Bello Madu. He told them about
Hanne’s present condition, how her belongings were scattered outside, and how even the room
she was staying in had now become uncertain.
