Tun Ran Gini Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

She went and paid for everything that was necessary, bought the medicine, and also sent Shema'u to buy food items according to what she could afford for them, then took them to Tahir’s house.

Inna Halima wanted to serve the children food, but there was nothing cooked in the house, and it was already getting late before Shema'u brought the cooking ingredients.

So she had no choice but to call her elder sister, Babah Rabi, and tell her. She told her to wait, that food would be sent to them.

Iyah Zuwaira also had to return home and come back, because her eldest son usually came to see her every night after Isha prayer.

By the time Masha arrived after Isha at the hospital, there was already a crowd there from both Rahmatou’s family and Tahir’s family. Everyone kept praising how much Aseeyah resembled Rahmatou, especially compared to Nuraddeen, and how strikingly beautiful she was.

Rahmatou was very happy with the way her mother-in-law, Innah Kulu, loved her.

Babah Rabi sent food for Rufaatu and the others. Halima served it, and they all ate together with the children while chatting. She even spread their bedding for them herself.

Rahmatou really enjoyed the chicken pepper soup that was brought for her, but Tahir shamelessly served himself almost half of it and carried it off home. Iyah only saw Tahir’s behavior as something to pray about now...

The following morning, they were discharged early. The house looked wonderful, freshly arranged and smelling sweet, because Inna Halima, who was staying with her during her postnatal period, was very neat and clean.

People kept coming in to congratulate them, praising her beautiful twins, especially little Aseeyah...

The day before the naming ceremony, Maimuna finally persuaded them and Rahma had her hair done, with henna as well, masha Allah. Her children also had their hair braided and henna applied. All of it was Shema'u’s work, Rahma’s younger sister. As usual, with all the gathering and activity, Innah Kulu stepped in and another ram was obtained, added to the first one, making two rams in total.

Iyah Zuwaira really played a major role during this childbirth. Her in-laws and children all came to congratulate them.

The next day, the naming ceremony took place. The boy was named Nuraddeen, and the girl was named Nana Asiyah.

There, Rahmatou also gave her the pet name “Nimrah.”

The naming ceremony was lovely, masha Allah. For a modest event, it was quite beautiful. Innah Kulu even gave Tahir a serious warning that if he dared ruin Rahmatou’s celebration, she would deal with him. That warning truly frightened him, because no matter what he did, he feared his mother’s disapproval.

Maimuna and their relatives spent the whole day there. Iyah Zuwaira was so full of joy you would think it was her own daughter who had given birth, because of how involved she was in everything. That made Rahmatou’s relatives love Iyah Zuwaira even more.

Rahmatou received many gifts.

But that day Rahmatou did not see Tahir at all until the naming ceremony was over, because of the anger he still had toward her.

That night, after everyone had left, Rahmatou made sure Rufaatu and the others were asleep, then she got herself ready and went into his room, the one by the veranda door.

He was lying down when she entered and greeted him.

He answered with difficulty, snorting angrily.

She looked away and sat beside him on the mat, placing her hand on his shoulder, and said:

“Rufaatu’s father, good evening. How was your day? How was the stress of all the guests? For two days now, not even greetings? You came and saw the children, but as for me, nothing? Rufaatu’s father, today was our children’s naming ceremony and we did not even meet. Is that really fair?”

He glared at her and pushed her hand off his shoulder. In a harsh tone, moving farther away, he said to her:

“Wallahi, Rahmatou, get out of my sight and let me rest. And do not call me Rufaatu’s father or Nurah’s father or Magaji’s father. If you want peace between us, stop it.

And do not touch me again. You know very well that whenever you are in postnatal seclusion, we stay apart until you complete forty days. So why did you come to me in the middle of the night? What do you want?

Or is it hypocrisy that is pushing you? Because Innah said she is coming back to this house, and now suddenly you have started showing new behaviors. I have been watching you ever since you gave birth, acting proud and stubborn. Wallahi, Rahmatou, get out of my sight. You cannot control me the way you have controlled Innah and turned her around so that she does whatever you say.

Now listen, I am a strong man. Wallahi, I will even leave this town for you. What you are doing to me is enough. Let your mother come and stay with you. Honestly, a woman with no self-control at all. Even while in postnatal seclusion, out of temptation, you still came here touching me and trying to seduce me. Do you take me for a useless man? Fine, if I had gone along with you, wouldn’t that have been shameful on the day of our children’s naming? I refuse. Stand up and leave. You know I am disgusted by it. I will not even touch your hand until your forty days are complete and I see that you are properly purified.

Now go and cry if you want, or pour water on the ground if you like. Innah stopped me from taking control over my children’s naming ceremony. You and your relatives did whatever you wanted. Everything was spread out and consumed, rice, soup, meat in abundance, and people were just smiling as if it was all free. Wallahi, this childbirth is enough. I am tired of suffering. A crowd of daughters, and only with difficulty did you manage to give birth to one boy. Wallahi, if Innah had left me alone, only one ram would have been slaughtered. Honestly, if Allah blesses me with money, you will see how I will marry a fresh young virgin, neat and untouched, who will come and bear me sons. Since our marriage I have never moved forward. Instead, I have only gone backward because you keep giving birth to burdens in this house. Honestly, I am tired...”

This is a very emotional and painful scene. Tahir is insulting and humiliating her badly, especially over the children she gave birth to.
