Imagine being in your own house, and the person you love most in the world decides to play a very dangerous game with your heart and your health. This is exactly where Fauzaan finds himself at the beginning of this story. He is sitting there, feeling a strange, overwhelming heat in his body because his wife, Feezah, gave him some juice to drink. He didn't know she had put something in it to make him lose control of his senses. He is begging her, almost crying, because he just wants to feel close to her. He tells her he will do anything she wants just to get some peace. But Feezah isn't interested in love or being a good wife. She has a very dark plan. She looks at him with a wicked smile and says something that would shock any husband. One part of the book says — "I want you to divide your wealth into two and give me half, that is the only thing I want from you." (translated from Hausa). Can you believe that? She is literally blackmailing her own husband for money while he is suffering from the medicine she gave him.
Fauzaan is a good man with a lot of respect. Even though he is going through a lot of pain and his body is on fire, he looks at her and realizes that she never really cared about him. She was only there for the money. He tells her he can't do it. He won't just hand over half of everything he worked for because of her games. Feezah doesn't care at all. She tells him — "Since you can't do it, then go out there and find a solution to your problem because I swear to God I will never give myself to you without you giving me what I asked for." (translated from Hausa). This is the kind of drama that makes you want to keep reading Hausa novels online because the tension is just too much. Fauzaan leaves the room and tries to take a cold shower to calm down, but it doesn't work. The medicine is too strong. He realizes he has to leave the house before he does something he regrets.
He goes straight to his mother's house. His mom is a very religious and kind woman. When he gets there, he finds her reading the Quran. She can see right away that something is wrong with her son. Fauzaan is the type of person who doesn't hide anything from his mother. They are very close, almost like how characters are in the novel DANGINA BOOK 1 and 2, where family ties are everything. He sits down and tells her everything. He tells her about the drink, the blackmail, and how Feezah has been treating him. He even tells her that he feels like he might die if he doesn't find a way to handle the physical pressure he is feeling. It is a very emotional scene because you can see a grown man crying to his mother because his marriage has turned into a nightmare. His mother realizes that Feezah is a lost cause and that her son needs a real wife, someone with good character and fear of God.
That is when his mother comes up with a plan that changes everything. She tells him that they are not going to wait. He needs to get married again, and he needs to do it today. She suggests the daughter of an old family friend, Malam Haruna. The author, Saratu Musa Maman Umar, really shows us how much respect there is between these families. Malam Haruna was a very close friend to Fauzaan’s late father. His mother tells him that while all of Malam Haruna’s daughters are well-behaved, she really likes one called Fadeela. She says Fadeela is quiet, respectful, and has a lot of "mutunci." Fauzaan is confused. He wasn't planning on getting married today! But he knows his mother is right. He needs to protect himself from falling into sin, and he needs a woman who will actually care for him. If you like stories about unexpected marriages, you might also enjoy reading HARIJIN SARKI which also has some intense family dynamics.
Fauzaan drives over to Malam Haruna's house, still feeling the effects of whatever Feezah gave him. He explains the situation to the old man. Now, Malam Haruna is a very understanding person. He doesn't judge Fauzaan. Instead, he feels bad that such a good man is suffering because of a bad woman. He tells Fauzaan that he is happy to give him one of his daughters. When Fauzaan mentions he would like to marry Fadeela, the old man agrees immediately. But this is where the drama in the big house starts. Malam Haruna has four wives and many daughters. When he calls everyone together to announce that Fadeela is getting married right now, the other wives start whispering. They are jealous! They wonder why Fadeela, who is younger, is getting picked when there are older girls available. It reminds me of the jealousy you see in KAWAR KARUWAI where women are always competing. But Malam Haruna doesn't listen to them. He says it is Fadeela that Fauzaan wants, and that is that.
Poor Fadeela is in total shock. One minute she is just living her life, and the next minute her father is telling her that her wedding is happening in a few minutes and she will be leaving with her husband immediately. She starts crying because she doesn't understand why things are moving so fast. She hasn't even had time to process anything. Her mother, Mama Asma'u, is a very patient woman. She is the youngest wife and she always gets picked on by the older wives, but she never complains. She tries to comfort her daughter, telling her that this is her destiny and she must accept it. You can find many stories with this kind of emotional depth when you download Hausa novels from the right places. Mama Asma'u quickly prepares her daughter, dressing her simply but nicely, while the rest of the house is in an uproar. The jealousy is so thick you can almost touch it.
The marriage ceremony is done very quickly with a dowry of 50,000 naira. Fauzaan is now officially Fadeela’s husband. It is such a whirlwind. Before she knows it, she is being led out to Fauzaan's car. Her father gives her some final advice, telling her to be like her mother—patient and obedient. He tells her that he knows Fauzaan is a good man and that she should treat him well. Fadeela is still sobbing as she gets into the car. She doesn't even know what her new life will look like. She just knows she is leaving her home to go and live with a man she barely knows, and she has to share him with another woman who is clearly dangerous. If you are looking for the best Hausa novels, you really need to check this one out because the way it explores these traditional family settings is amazing.
Fauzaan, on the other hand, is just trying to survive the day. He is grateful to his mother and Malam Haruna, but he also knows he is bringing a young, innocent girl into a house where a "snake" like Feezah lives. He has to protect Fadeela while also dealing with his own feelings. The story makes you wonder how these two will live together. Will Fadeela be able to handle Feezah’s wickedness? Will Fauzaan ever find peace in his own home? It’s a lot like the tension in HAJIYAR OFIS where the home and the outside world clash in difficult ways. You really feel for Fadeela because she is so young and she has been thrown into the deep end of a very complicated marriage. She is just a girl who was suddenly told she is a wife now.
As they drive away, the silence in the car is heavy. Fauzaan is trying to be respectful, but he is also struggling with the medicine in his system. Fadeela is just looking out the window, her face wet with tears. This is just the beginning of their journey. There is so much more to come, from the first night to the eventual face-off with Feezah. If you want more stories that deal with these kinds of life-changing moments, you should definitely look into ME GARI YA WAYA Book 1 or even something like CORPER which also has its own share of life drama. This book is a real emotional rollercoaster that shows you how one bad decision by one person can change the lives of many others in an instant.
You really need to read the full story to see how Fauzaan handles his two wives and how Fadeela grows from a scared girl into a woman. It is one of those books that you can't put down once you start.
