It is 4:00 in the morning and the whole house is quiet. The only light in the big bedroom is coming from a small bedside lamp. If you walked into that room, you would see clothes scattered all over the floor. There is a red G-string, a net bra, and some expensive pajamas lying next to a pair of white Calvin Klein boxers. It looks like someone just threw them there in a hurry. The room itself is very fancy, decorated with royal purple and a nice golden color that makes everything look rich. Even in the dark, you can tell that the person living here has a lot of money. The air is cold from the AC and the room smells like very expensive perfume. This is where we first meet the main woman in this story. She is lying on the bed, and she looks like the kind of high-class woman you see in Abuja. She is fair-skinned and very beautiful. Even though she is around 45 or 46 years old, she looks much younger because she takes so much care of her body. Life has been good to her, and you can see it in her skin.
When the clock hits 4:00 AM, she wakes up feeling very tired. She holds her head and looks at the young man sleeping next to her. For about ten minutes, she just stares at him without saying a word. She is thinking about what they talked about the night before. This young man wants them to have a baby. He suggested using a surrogate or something like that. She is just staring at him, thinking about how their marriage is mostly about her having fun and getting what she wants. She doesn't really take the marriage that seriously. She turns on the lamp to see him better. He is a very handsome guy with brown skin. He is actually much younger than her—about thirteen or fourteen years younger. After her first husband, Alhaji Haroun Ciroma, passed away, she chose to marry this guy because of his looks. He has these sexy eyes and a nice beard that is always well-trimmed. He looks like a professional model. One part of the book says — "A handsome brown-skinned guy was lying next to her, and if you saw them together, you’d see she was about thirteen or fourteen years older than him." (translated from Hausa). This age gap doesn't bother her much because of how he makes her feel.
She closes her eyes and thinks about how good he is to her. She feels like even if her late husband came back to life, she wouldn't be able to leave this young man. He knows exactly how to handle a woman like her. But this baby talk is really bothering her. She sighs deeply because she knows she is addicted to him. She needs him in her life. If it were any other man asking her for a baby at her age, she would have screamed at him or kicked him out. But with this guy, it is different. She already has two grown-up kids from her late husband. To her, those two girls are enough. She doesn't see why she should start carrying babies or looking for a surrogate now. If you like stories about complicated relationships and older women, you should check out SUGAR DADY on the site. It has that same kind of vibe where money and love get mixed up.
She sits on the edge of the bed for a long time, thinking. She realizes that this guy is perfect for her because he doesn't interfere with her politics. Her late husband was always involved in her business, but this young guy just lets her live her life. She wonders if he wants a baby because he truly loves her and wants them to be together forever, or if he just loves the rich lifestyle she provides for him. She pays for everything he does. She decides she will talk to her doctor about this baby issue because she is terrified of losing him. She has to find a way to make him happy without ruining her own life. This reminds me of the drama you find when you download Hausa novels to read on your phone during a break. There is always some deep secret or a hard choice the characters have to make.
Suddenly, she remembers she has a flight to catch. She is going to Kano at 5:40 AM. She hasn't even prayed her morning prayer yet. She gets off the bed and walks slowly to the bathroom. She takes a quick hot shower, brushes her teeth, and puts on a white bathrobe. She quickly performs her prayers and then heads to her mirror. This woman does not play with her looks. She starts putting on heavy makeup, looking at the clock every few minutes. She is a busy politician, so she always has to look her best. She also thinks about her daughters. She has noticed they have been acting a bit different lately. She feels a little guilty, so she uses her phone to order some very expensive breakfast for them from a fast-food place. It will arrive after she has already left for the airport. This shows you how she handles motherhood—she uses money to solve things because she doesn't have the time to sit down and talk. It’s a lot like the family issues in SO NE SILA where parents and kids don't always see eye to eye.
By 5:15 AM, she is fully dressed. She is wearing a peach-colored English outfit and high Gucci heels. She smells amazing because she mixed two different expensive perfumes. She looks like a boss, the kind of woman who walks into a room and everyone stops to look. She heads over to the part of the house where her daughters stay. She hasn't visited their rooms in a while. She actually thinks kids are messy and annoying, which is why she only had two. She usually sends them to stay with her mother in Yola during holidays just so she can have some peace. She opens the door to their room very quietly so she doesn't wake them up. She sees them sleeping close to each other, looking very innocent. The room is full of books. Her oldest daughter is called Nur Firdaus. The book says — "Nur Firdaus is the oldest daughter... she's very beautiful, but she has her father's character." (translated from Hausa). Unlike her mother, Nur Firdaus is very into religion. She has her Quran on the table and she has won many awards for Quranic recitation. She is 17 and about to finish secondary school.
The younger daughter is Laila. She is 15 and in SS2. Laila looks exactly like her mother. She is curvy and has that same physical presence, but she is more relaxed about life. Both girls are very beautiful, looking like a mix of Fulani and Arab heritage. Their mother looks at them for a second, but her mind is already on her political meetings in Kano. She doesn't really have time to think about what they are going through. For more stories about girls in school and growing up, you should read SECONDARY SCHOOL. It really captures that young energy. The mother hears her phone ring; it’s her driver. She quickly leaves the room and goes outside. She tells the driver to move fast before the kids wake up and start asking her questions. She just wants to get away and start her day.
Just a few minutes after the car leaves, Nur Firdaus wakes up. She says her morning prayers and looks at the clock. It’s 5:30 AM. She looks at her sister Laila, who is still sleeping soundly. As she gets up to turn on the light, she catches the scent of her mother's perfume in the air. She knows her mother was just there. It’s a sad feeling, knowing your mom only visits you while you are sleeping and then rushes off. This story by Surayya HMS is really going to be deep. It’s not just about romance; it’s about a mother who is trying to balance her career, her young husband's demands, and her two daughters who are growing up fast. You can see the tension building up already. If you want to see how this drama unfolds, you should look for best Hausa novels on the internet. There are so many stories that touch on these real-life problems. I also recommend checking out HIDDEN CROWN and KISHIYAR KABILA if you want something with lots of twists.
The way the author describes the luxury and the feelings of the characters makes you feel like you are watching a movie. You can almost smell the Zebra Rasasi perfume and feel the cold Abuja air. It makes me wonder what will happen when the daughters find out about their mother's struggles with their stepfather. And will the mother actually go through with the baby plan just to keep her man? The book says — "But now, she knew if she left this handsome guy, there would be a big problem because he’s the only one who can satisfy her exactly how she wants." (translated from Hausa). That is a very tough position to be in. You can find more books like this if you search for Hausa novels online. This story is just getting started, and I know it’s going to get even more intense as the chapters go by. The characters are so different from each other—the religious daughter, the carefree younger sister, the powerful mother, and the young husband with his own agenda.
If you love reading about Abuja big life, political drama, and complicated love stories, then Nur Firdaus is definitely for you. It’s the kind of book you read under your covers at night because you can’t put it down. You can find the full story and many others on Taskar Novels.
