Maradams Book 2 Complete Hausa Novel

She quickly stepped back in panic, shaking her head violently, her body trembling with intense fear. The way her heart pounded was enough to alarm anyone who saw her.

“Please, try to understand me,” he pleaded. “I swear I will never hurt you. I only want to take you to his house so he can see what he has been dreaming about for many years. Once I take you there, I will leave immediately, I swear. We won’t harm you. My boss loves you—he could die if he doesn’t find you.”

She stared at him as if he were a complete madman. Then, with her voice shaking, she said,

“Is he really going to die before his appointed time even comes?”

“You are the one who is truly in trouble,” she continued angrily. “Or should I say you’ve lost your mind for believing the delusion your heart has trapped you in. Do you really think I’m the one you’re talking about?”

She spoke in deep agitation. It was true that the portrait looked exactly like her—her face and even the shape of her body—but in her mind, it must be someone else who simply resembled her. After all, people say Allah sometimes creates two individuals who look alike in the world. Perhaps, she thought, it was even a jinn that had appeared to his boss in her form in a dream. There was nothing jinn could not do.

Because of that, she saw no reason to believe that she was the person in the drawing. Instead, a fresh wave of fear and anxiety swept over her.

Her body still trembling, she continued speaking:

“If you’re mad, then hurry and come back to your senses. And if you’re confused because of your boss’s dream, then wake up from it quickly. Because that person isn’t me. You foolish, brainless man—an animal who doesn’t even know the dignity and worth of a woman! Just because of some meaningless drawing, you drag someone here while people are watching us? I have nothing else to say to you except that Allah will judge you for the way you grabbed me and humiliated me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave the room. But he rushed after her, trying to grab her again—he couldn’t allow her to escape. No matter how difficult it was, he was determined to take her to his boss.

But the moment she turned around, she slapped him twice in quick succession.

Tass! Tass!

Immediately, his vision blurred and he began seeing double as flashes of light exploded inside his eyes. He froze, holding his cheek. He couldn’t even remember the last time someone had slapped him like that.

Furious, she pointed her finger at him while breathing heavily, as if her breath might leave her body.

“Don’t you ever dare touch my body again with those worthless hands of yours. My body is precious!”

She said it with burning anger and wounded pride.

Weak and shaken, he slowly collapsed onto his knees in front of her, begging.

But she quickly rushed out of the office and twisted the key in the door, locking him inside.

When she stepped outside, her heart was racing wildly. She noticed the eyes of people staring at her from all directions. Her heart broke instantly, and tears streamed down her face.

She knew exactly what kind of looks they were giving her.

Some of them might even think that the man had done something inappropriate to her.
