Juhud Book One English Translation

Juhud’s whole body had already begun to tremble. Her heart was beating heavily, and
tears started rolling down her cheeks.

In fear, she said,

“By Allah, Hammah Manga, I have never given myself to anyone. Please, for the sake of
Allah, do not disgrace me. You know what happened to Lariya from Baffa Inde’s house.
When her dignity was ruined after her marriage had already been arranged, she was chased
away.”

He smiled and moved closer to her.

“Who else will disgrace you? I am the one who will marry you anyway, and I am only taking
what will become mine.”

A deep pain filled Juhud’s heart whenever people connected her with Hammah Manga as the
man Baffa Bangel had chosen for her. They all knew his character. He had no self-control,
and deep inside her heart, she even suspected him of having a hand in her father’s death.

She let out a scream when he trapped her against the wall of the room. He quickly covered
her mouth with his hand, trying to silence her.

Juhud struggled with all the strength she had, terrified by what he was trying to do.
He tried to overpower her, but fear gave her unexpected strength.

With a sudden push, she shoved him away. He fell back onto the wooden bed frame. Before
he could stand properly, she forced the door open and ran out with all her strength,
crying and screaming.

He chased after her angrily, but Juhud ran like the wind. He could not catch up with
her. By the time she reached the village area, he stopped and hissed in frustration.

To him, Juhud had become disrespectful because she refused to submit to him peacefully.
In anger, he made up his mind that he would humiliate her if he ever got another chance.

When he could no longer see even the dust raised by her running feet, he leaned against
a tree, trying to catch his breath and calm himself. After some time, he returned to
the forest.

As for Juhud, when she reached home, she ran straight into the hut where Innatu was.
She collapsed against her mother and cried with a kind of pain that could tear the heart
apart.

Innatu became deeply frightened. In her weak voice, she asked,

“What has happened again, Juhudah?”

Through tears, Juhud began to tell her everything. Innatu only shook her head while her
heart burned with pain.

At that moment, Baffa Buba entered with a calabash of milk in his hand. Seeing them in
that condition, he quickly asked,

“Assha, Assha! Indo, what has happened again?”

Crying, Juhud explained everything to him. His mind also became disturbed.

He said,

“That boy has truly gone too far. Bangel should have been warning him. The bad behavior
he learned in the city is what he has brought into our settlement to spoil our lineage.
If he wants marriage, he should speak properly so the marriage can be arranged, since
both of you are of age.”

Juhud quickly looked at him and said,

“No, Baffa Moddi. He even smokes. My father told me before he died that even by mistake,
I should not be forced to marry him. He said even if it was Kado who came to ask for
my hand, he would accept him instead. Truly, Baffa Moddibo, I do not want Hammah Manga.”

He scolded her sharply.

“So because you say you do not want him, should he keep cornering you in hidden places
where you cannot defend yourself?”

She rubbed her feet against the ground while crying.

“By Allah, I do not want him. I do not want him at all, Baffa. If I am married to him,
then it means I truly have no one to protect me.”

He smiled gently and helped her stand.

“Ayyah, Aminatu, that is not what I meant. Alright, since you do not want him, I will
go and meet Bangel and Ribado so they can warn that boy properly. If not, I will stand
firmly against him because of you.”

Then he added,

“Here is your milk container. Jumai has prepared it for you. Tomorrow, take it to town
and sell it so you can get money for soap and other small needs.”

Joy filled Juhud’s heart. She collected it and thanked him. After he left, she sat back
down and said,

“Innatu, tomorrow we will have money. Baffa Moddi has given us Yarima Biyu. That is
three thousand naira. I will even buy medicine for your body pain in town, and roasted
meat with groundnut cake.”

Innatu only watched her until Juhud finished speaking and stood to leave. Then Innatu
held her and said,

“Sit down, Aminatu.”

Juhud sat down quietly. It was the first time she had ever heard Innatu call her by her
full name in such a serious way.

Innatu took Juhud’s hand and placed it on her own head.

“I pray for success in your future life, Aminatu. Whatever situation you find yourself
in, hold firmly to your orphanhood and remember that Allah will support you. I feel in
my heart that one day, all of this will pass.”

She continued in a weak but emotional voice.

“Whatever you see happening to us, the trouble started seven months ago. Your father
did not part with his relatives peacefully, even though he tried his best for them. They
did not see his efforts. They do not love you, Aminatu. Earlier, I heard them talking.
They do not want to marry you to your cousin Manga for the sake of Allah. They want to
use the marriage to consume what remains of your inheritance.”

Juhud looked at her mother with fear and surprise.

Innatu continued,

“As for me, I am not worried about the wealth. My worry is your safety and your dignity.
If you marry inside this settlement, history will keep repeating itself. Your father’s
people do not like the descendants of Haro. They will not stand by you, while your
mothers keep calling me a witch.”

Tears overtook Innatu. She held her daughter’s hand more firmly and said,

“By Allah, Aminatu, I am not a witch. I have no connection with witchcraft. But your
mothers attached that name to me from the beginning, from the day I was brought into
this settlement, just to make my life difficult. They made my life hard just as they
made your father Haruna’s life hard.”

Her voice trembled as she continued.

“I have hidden something from you for a long time, something you have asked me about
many times. Today, I feel in my heart that I should tell you, even if these become my
last words. I know they will help you in the future.”

Juhud’s eyes remained fixed on Innatu, who was trying to sit up properly. Juhud moved
closer and helped her sit. They looked at each other for a long time.

After a while, Innatu drew a deep breath and said,

“I will tell you the real story of what destroyed the unity of your family. Many things
happened from the beginning of this settlement. As I have told you before, your
grandfather, Moddibo Wand’u, was the one who passed down this hidden conflict, a conflict
that not everyone knows about.”

She paused, closed her eyes briefly, and then continued her story.
