Gidan Aunty Book 2 Complete Hausa Novel

Panic Over Tahee’s Disappearance and King’s Condition

Everyone was in a state of panic, especially because Tahee had gone missing and could not be found. On the other hand, King was still in the coma he had fallen into. Abeey was completely distracted, his mind scattered in different directions. Ammey was deeply shaken by King’s condition, and at the same time Tahee was missing. This time, Ummey abandoned her usual reserved nature out of fear of losing King just as she had once lost her own brother. Ammey, too, could not eat; whenever anyone came near her, she would start calling Tahee’s name. Dada was also overwhelmed with worry. At the same time, there was the fear that King might wake up at any moment, which only increased the tension. Abeey was deeply troubled by everything happening around him.

Security measures were put in place to find Tahee. Even the soldiers guarding the house were detained and investigated by Zaki until the search was completed. There was no one in the Nahyan family who was not distressed. Even Amrah and Basma, upon hearing about King’s accident, were beside themselves with shock. None of them were thinking about Tahee; both Amrah and the others were focused entirely on King.

As night fell, the doctor had Doctor Arween, who had been attending to King all along, speak privately with Abeey. Abeey had kept certain matters hidden to prevent further danger to King. King was moved to a heavily secured room with strict surveillance; even the slightest movement would be caught on camera. Respectfully, Doctor Arween informed Abeey that one person was needed to stay with King constantly while he remained in a coma. When Abeey told Ammey, she secretly let out a faint, wicked smile before saying something. Ammey tried to speak weakly, but Ummey interrupted her firmly, her voice determined: “I will stay with him.” Ammey looked at Ummey in surprise, while Abeey smiled with relief and gratitude. He then turned respectfully to Dada, who also insisted on staying at the hospital. Despite everyone’s attempts to persuade her to go home, she refused, which only angered Ameen further, though she tried to hide it.

Eventually, Abeey ordered everyone else to return home after reinforcing security at the hospital. Only the senior doctors knew what had truly happened, and the hospital was under strict control, with soldiers stationed everywhere.

Samreen’s Arrival and the Hidden Truth

The next day, almost no one in the house had slept. After the dawn prayer, Abeey and Uncle Saleem went to the hospital. There was still no news about Tahee. Uncle Saleem kept comforting Abeey, seeing how worried he was, while also continuing the search for Tahee. King remained unconscious, though his skin seemed to glow with an unusual brightness.

As morning came, family members began arriving at the hospital. Ammey did not go with them, claiming she felt unwell, though she tried to hide it. Abeey suggested she come to the hospital for a check-up, but she refused. He did not press further and instead asked Ummey to go home and rest. Though she hesitated, she eventually returned home with Dada, leaving Abeey and the others in King’s room. When Abeey saw King lying there, tears streamed down his face. His heart pounded as memories from years past flooded back to him. To calm himself, he silently recited prayers and sought God’s help.

When Ummey entered her section of the house, she was surprised to see someone she had not expected—a beautiful young woman who looked no older than thirty-five. She was strikingly beautiful and bore a strong resemblance to Ummey, with some features similar to Zoya. The young woman smiled and rushed to hug her like a child. In a soft Arabic voice, she said, “Ummey, I missed you. I kept calling, but none of you answered. Even his number—the one that never goes off—was switched off.” Tears threatened to fall from Ummey’s eyes, but she forced a smile.

“Samreen, when did you arrive? You didn’t even inform us,” she asked.

“Surprise!” Samreen replied happily. “Only King knew I was coming. I wanted to surprise you all. Since you refused to let me meet his bride, I came to see her myself. This time, I’ll stay for two months before leaving.”

Ummey nodded and gently ended the conversation, saying she needed to freshen up. Samreen watched her leave, sensing that something was wrong. The house felt as if something important was missing. She went to her room, which had been prepared as if her arrival had been expected. After resting and waking up without seeing Ummey, her concern grew. She went to Ummey’s room and was about to knock when she heard something that made her heart race. She pushed the door open quickly and found Ummey in tears, with Abeey standing beside her.

Crying, Samreen asked, “Ummey? Abeey? Why did you hide what happened to my brother? Why? I don’t want to lose him like I lost Akhiee!” She broke down in deep, painful sobs. Ummey also began to cry, and Abeey struggled to calm them both. Just then, Abeey’s phone rang. From the conversation, he realized that Mahma was in Lagos. After listening, a faint smile appeared on his face. He turned to Ummey and said, “Sit and rest. Come with Samreen later.”

Before he left the room, he added, “Samreen is already at the hospital now.” Then he walked out. Ummey finally let out a deep breath. Since seeing her son’s condition, she had trusted no one, which was why she insisted on staying with him. But now that Mahma was there, she believed no one would harm her son by God’s will. She did not show this on her face. Samreen, overwhelmed, collapsed to the floor in tears and remained there until Ummey returned to comfort her.
