Taura Biyu Book 1 Complete Hausa Novel

Today she started preparing as early as 6:00 a.m. because their lectures had been shifted to the new university site. Not every course had been moved there, and unfortunately she had now been separated from Husnah, since their department remained at the old site.

She felt unhappy about being separated from them because she did not know anyone at the new site.

She dressed neatly in a long red Ankara gown decorated with dark blue patterns, then wore a long dark-blue hijab that flowed all the way to the ground, blending perfectly with the color of her dress so that neither her body shape nor even her feet could be seen.

She picked up her bag and went out to greet her parents in each part of the house. After that, she returned to their section and came out again with Husnah.

At the gate they met Ya Umar and Ya Ahmad, who were just coming in.

Both girls immediately knelt down respectfully and greeted them.

Ahmad responded briefly as he continued walking into the house.

Umar responded too, but his eyes rested on Aysha.

She lowered her head, nervously playing with the strap of her bag. Husnah and the others quickly walked ahead because Umar was not someone who joked around, and they knew trouble might start at any moment.

He looked at her carefully and calmly asked,

“Why are you not wearing socks?”

In a soft voice, with her head still lowered, she replied,

“They are still wet. I washed them and hung them outside, but the rain last night didn’t let them dry.”

He frowned slightly and said,

“Then make sure you return home on time.”

“Okay,” she replied softly and walked away quietly.

After she left, Umar let out a slow sigh. For some reason, he felt uneasy about Aysha going to school. He always felt as if he might lose her, even though he knew she would never pay attention to anyone else.

At the bus stop, she separated from Husnah and headed alone toward the new site.

Her heart kept pounding. She was the type of person who feared being among strangers she didn’t know.

When she arrived, she went straight to the lecture hall where their class would take place. She walked calmly with her head lowered, but inside she felt tense because of the kind of students she saw there. They looked more like troublemakers than serious students.

The lecture went on, but she could not concentrate or understand anything because some boys sitting close to her were laughing at the way she dressed.

It was almost six in the evening before they finished.

She managed to get home, though she had spent the whole day trembling with fear and anxiety.

As soon as she arrived home, she removed her clothes, took a bath, and prayed.

Afterward she sat down to eat while chatting with her mother, telling her about a fight she had witnessed on her way back home.
