Hauwa Kulu Book Two Complete Hausa Novel – Episode 1

When the car stopped in front of them, Inna told the driver, “Kurna.”

It was not because she knew anyone in Kurna. She only knew that Kurna was far from the inner part of Kano city, somewhere toward the outskirts. The driver charged them five naira. Even though Inna knew he had overcharged them because they looked tired and helpless, she did not even try to bargain. She held Hauwa’s hand, and they entered the car with their large bundle of belongings.

When they reached Kurna, Inna did not know where to ask the driver to stop. The driver also became tired of moving around with them in Kurna. He finally asked, “Should I take you to the motor park if you want to leave town?”

Before Inna could think deeply, she found herself saying, “Yes.”

So he took them to the old station known as Tashar Kuka and dropped them there.

Inna held Hauwa’s hand. Both of them were exhausted, hungry, and worn out. They walked toward the stall of a tea seller. By that time, the morning had already advanced. Inna sat Hauwa on an empty bench.

The tea seller came toward them and said, “Old woman, is everything alright? Begging is not allowed on my bench. This is my business place.”

Hauwa raised her large eyes up and down in anger. She wanted him to know that she was glaring at him. There was nothing she hated more than being connected to the word “beggar” simply because she was blind.

If not for the good upbringing Inna had given her, teaching her never to interrupt elders rudely, she would have answered him sharply.

The tea seller continued, “Please, move away. Do not spoil my business with this dirty bundle of yours.”

Inna controlled herself and said, “Please give her tea to drink. I will pay you. How much is one cup? Cut bread for her too.”

At that point, Hauwa could no longer hold herself.

“Inna, even if this is the last tea left in the world, and even if hunger will kill me, I will not drink it. He called us beggars.”

She burst into tears. Then she stood up, searched for their bundle, lifted it, and placed it on her head.

Inna also stood up, held her hand, and they left.

As they walked away, the tea seller continued speaking carelessly, saying he did not like dealing with beggars or disabled people.

A Woman With A Kind Heart

Inna saw another stall owned by a woman who sold food. There were not many people there. She pulled Hauwa gently, and they went toward the place.

The woman was busy attending to three customers seated at a table. From the way she carried herself, one could tell she was a typical Kano woman with experience in business.

Inna greeted her.

The woman answered respectfully and said, “Old woman, welcome. Do you want to buy food?”

Inna replied, “Yes. Please serve her enough food so she can eat well. Add meat for her. How much is a plate of rice with stew?”

The woman said, “Seven naira.”

She served Hauwa a full plate of fresh, appetizing food. Then she guided her into a quieter part of the stall, gave her water, and helped her wash her hands.

Inna sat down, her mind turning in many directions. She was not even feeling hungry because her heart was darkened by pain and bitterness over what Zakari had done to them.

She loved her home deeply. Every part of her history with her husband and children was connected to that house. Every joy of her married life and every memory of her happiness were tied to that house behind the Badala.

And now, in just one day, everything had been taken from her.

She used the edge of her wrapper to wipe away tears and sniffed quietly. Hauwa heard her.

Hauwa raised her large blind eyes toward the direction of Inna’s voice and asked, “Inna, are you not going to eat?”

Inna replied, “Eat, Kulu. Leave me alone. I cannot even take water into my mouth today.”

Hauwa also removed her hand from the food. She moved back, leaned against the wall, folded her body into herself, and placed her head between her knees.

“Then I will not eat either,” Hauwa said. “Since you will not eat, Inna, I will not eat.”

Inna said, “Kulu, I am not feeling hungry at all.”

Hauwa replied, “I know it is sorrow that has stopped you from eating. But there is one thing I want you to remember, Inna. If Kawu Zakari destroyed our home and took it by force because of his injustice, Allah is not unjust to His servants. Allah does not ignore the rights of the oppressed.”

She continued, “I will not stop reporting him to Allah in every prostration of my five daily prayers. Inna, forget Baba Zakari. Let us focus on what will help us survive. I think we should start selling food here at the station. I noticed that you still have some money with you.”

Inna’s Fear Of The Motor Park

Inna said, “Yes, I have some money. It is the money that Jamilu gave me before he traveled. But Hauwa, a person does not just start a business immediately without first settling down, understanding the place, studying the people, and knowing how things work there.”

She continued, “How can we live in a motor park? A station like this can be a dangerous place for young women. Let us move ahead. Even if we have to sleep in a mosque, we will manage.”

Unknown to them, Hajiya Ladi, the woman selling food, had been listening to their conversation while counting her sales money. She had finished her morning cooking and was calculating her profit before preparing the afternoon food.

She felt pity for Inna, and Hauwa impressed her deeply. Hauwa’s eyes showed that she could not see, yet her spirit was not dead. She did not say that because she was blind, she and her mother should sit at the station and beg. Instead, she was advising her mother to start a business.

Hajiya Ladi moved closer and sat beside them.

“I heard everything you discussed,” she said. “I do not know where you came from, but I will give you a place to stay in the house where I live. I will also give you food work to help me with. We will come here together every day, sell food, and return home together.”

She added, “I will not lie to you that I will pay you any money for now. The food you will eat and the place where you will sleep will be your reward. Later, when you understand how food selling works in this station, you can set up your own table.”

Then she said, “My fellow servant of Allah, even we who found our source of livelihood in the motor park did not choose it because it was perfect. Truly, there are bad people here, and there are many wrong activities around. But what can a person do when Allah writes that this is where their daily bread will come from?”

Inna and Hauwa began thanking Hajiya Ladi sincerely.

A New Beginning At Rijiyar Lemo

From that very day, Hajiya Ladi gave them one room in her house at Rijiyar Lemo. She cleared out old items from the room and told them to sleep there.

However, they would have to wake up early every morning and go to the station to help prepare the morning food. By around four o’clock, after selling the afternoon food, they would return home together.

Hajiya Ladi began teaching Inna the different types of meals she cooked and sold. To her surprise, she discovered that Innar Hauwa was already highly skilled in cooking, even better than she expected.

Inna was also extremely clean in her body and environment. Because of this, Hajiya Ladi became even more attached to her and trusted her more.

From that day onward, Inna and Hauwa started working for Hajiya Ladi. Hauwa was not left idle either. She was given the task of washing plates and bowls. She washed them neatly, rinsed them properly, and arranged them upside down in a basket.

Before one week passed, they had already become used to Hajiya Ladi’s food business. They also became familiar with Hajiya Ladi’s two other workers, Zulai and Amuna.

Hauwa’s Strength Despite Blindness

Hajiya Ladi suffered from asthma. On days when the illness became serious, she could not do anything except lie down and cough. During such times, she handed most of the work over to Inna because Inna was older, wiser, and more careful than Amuna and Zulai.

This made Zulai angry, and she eventually left the work. In her mind, the newcomers had been favored over her.

After Zulai left, only Amuna and Hauwa remained to handle the other tasks. Hauwa surprised everyone because she could do many things people would not expect from someone without sight.

She could cut vegetables such as spinach and salad leaves without injuring her hand. Any task that could be done while sitting, Inna would give it to her, and Hauwa would do it with care and determination.

Slowly, Hauwa began to prove that blindness did not mean weakness. She could not see with her eyes, but her heart was awake, her mind was sharp, and her hands were willing to work.
