Kida A Ruwa Book 3 Complete Hausa Novel English Translation
“Mtsow!”
One of the soldiers hissed as he looked at his wristwatch.
They had been waiting there since 12:30 p.m., and now it was already 3 p.m. with no sign that what they were waiting for would happen.
Even eating calmly had been forbidden by their commander. They were only allowed to pray, and those who did not pray did not even get a minute of rest.
Indirectly, the soldier threw a glare toward Imran. But the moment he noticed that Imran might turn around, he immediately corrected his posture.
Who knew? Even Imran himself might not like the situation. He had only given an order as the commander, and everyone had to obey.
The Dangerous Border
They were deep inside a forest, the kind of forest where one would not be surprised to find dangerous wild animals.
The forest connected three countries. From that point, a person could enter any of the countries easily.
Because of that, soldiers and other security officers were stationed at different borders belonging to each country. But every side had its own way of carrying out its duties and protecting its territory.
On their own border side, there was no soldier apart from the group brought there three hours earlier.
Altogether, they were twenty, including their three senior officers.
The most annoying part was that they had been brought there only to receive one life.
And that life belonged to a girl.
A young girl of sixteen.
What kind of irritating situation was this?
They were officers meant to protect the public, yes. But it still did not feel right that because of one person, their time had been wasted in such a place, where they themselves could also lose their lives.
They did not know what plan those people had prepared against them. It was possible that a trap had been set for them, or even a deadly ambush after the enemies got what they wanted.
“Mtsow!” the soldier hissed again, looking at his watch.
He wanted to gossip with the person beside him, but there was no chance because the commander was watching them.
So he had no choice but to endure like everyone else.
By then, it was 4 p.m.
Those who prayed had already completed the prayer.
The Call Comes In
At exactly 4:23 p.m., a call came into Imran’s phone.
Both Imran and Dada, who had blended among Imran’s soldiers so that no one would recognize him, looked at the phone at the same time.
Then they looked at each other.
Dada closed his eyes briefly, signaling to him to answer.
Then he adjusted his posture and returned to moving like the other soldiers, pretending to be one of them.
But everything Imran heard through the phone, Dada also heard because they had shared Bluetooth earpieces, one in each man’s ear.
The voice on the phone said, “In thirty-seven minutes, our goods will arrive. They will pass, and we will give her to you. If you try anything, you will see the result on her. Start counting time from now.”
The voice continued, “And here is a message for your boss: tell him to take care of himself. If he becomes distracted trying to protect this country, then he will become the country himself. This time, instead of a prison cage, he will enter the grave.”
The call ended before Imran could say anything.
Just as Imran had heard everything, Dada had also heard everything.
But that was not his main calculation at the moment.
His eyes were only fixed on the direction from which Nimrah would appear.
Nimrah Arrives
At exactly 4:40 p.m., a black car with dark tinted glass arrived at the place.
It stopped some distance away from them, on the opposite side, not directly where they stood.
Everyone’s attention moved to the car.
Still, after it stopped, no one came out immediately.
They waited until the dust raised by the car settled, almost three minutes later.
At 4:45 p.m., the car door opened.
Two huge, powerful-looking men came out. They were dressed in outfits that covered their entire bodies, leaving nothing visible.
One of them opened the back door, and Nimrah came out.
She was still wearing the same clothes from the previous day, but now her mouth was covered, and her eyes were tied with a black cloth.
She had no shoes on her feet.
Her hands were tied behind her back.
A towel had also been wrapped around her body, showing that something beneath it was being covered.
Imran almost moved, but the moment his eyes fell on the towel covering her, he stopped completely.
He was a military officer who had worked for many years since his youth. How could he fail to recognize a trap, even from a distance?
He looked toward where Dada stood, and Dada also looked at him.
Imran communicated with his eyes, and Dada answered with his own, showing that he had understood everything.
They both turned their eyes back to Nimrah.
At that same moment, the men standing with her removed the towel from her body.
The appearance of the explosive vest made the soldiers jump back in fear.
Even Imran and Dada felt their hearts strike hard, although it was exactly what they had already suspected.
Dada Approaches Nimrah
“Da…d…dah!”
Nimrah said, her lips trembling far more than before.
Dada gave her a heavy smile.
It was a kind of smile she could swear she had never seen on his face before.
Tears began to roll down her cheeks.
She opened her mouth to speak again, but he shook his head at her.
He brought out a date from his pocket, placed it in his mouth, split it into two, removed half, and moved it toward her mouth.
Softly, he said, “Open.”
She did not even know when her lips opened.
Gently, he placed the date in her mouth.
Then he touched her lips lightly with his finger and gave her another smile.
She only stared at him like someone who had lost herself.
She could not even chew the date.
She was so lost in looking at him that he had to start wiping the tears that refused to stop before she finally released a heavy breath, showing that she was returning to herself.
He did not speak.
He also did not stop smiling.
He only shifted his attention to the wires on the vest, studying them carefully after checking the remaining time.
They had only eighteen minutes left.
Nabeeha Refuses to Go to the Hospital
Elsewhere, Nabeeha tried to calm herself by thinking that today was still a day.
Because of that, she was eager for them to leave that place.
Her friends remained with her until Asr.
They stayed until they had finished their playful activities and dressed her up before leaving around 5 p.m.
Only Ismat remained with her because Amimah and the others had not followed them.
Even Ismat’s mother did not know that she had come with them. Ismat was planning to leave from there and run to her father’s house.
Nabeeha sent Ismat again to check whether he was around.
If he was not around, then Ismat should still go so that Mammah and the others would know she had returned. Nabeeha believed Mammah would make him come to where she was, even if he had not planned to.
But when Ismat returned, she brought unpleasant news.
She said he had not even slept in the house.
She also said Mammah and the others were all at the hospital because Ruƙayya was sick. Lailah had also been taken for a cesarean section, and up to that time, they had not come out.
Instead of becoming worried and saying they should go to the hospital, Nabeeha remained silent.
Ismat was the one who said, “Aunty, should we also go to the hospital? From what I understood, the matter is serious. Even their workers were very worried.”
Nabeeha replied, “Leave me out of any hospital, Ismat. I am not going anywhere. After they finished putting all this perfume on me and dressing me up, should I now end up in a hospital? I want D to smell fragrance, not medicine.”
Ismat said, “But Aunty…”
Nabeeha cut her off.
“That is my problem with you. I swear I will send you home now. Haba, try to understand me. Do you not see that if I say I am going out from here, it is risky? Do not forget how much D hates unnecessary movement.”
“Hmm,” Ismat said quietly.
But in her heart, she was thinking:
You only remembered that he hates movement now? Since he left the house, you too have not stayed still. Do you think he will not be told? Your problem is that you do not like the truth or advice. You allowed Mommy to plant hatred for your husband’s family in your heart, even though they are also our relatives in one way. May Allah make you realize it, because if not, this stay of yours may not last either. The people in this house are no longer like before when they kept tolerating you. They have tasted life with other daughters-in-law, and they enjoyed it.
Nimrah Fears Death
Nimrah said, “Dada, will I die? Will I die without seeing Mammah and Ruky again? Will I never see Uncle Ja’afar and the others again? Will I never see Mu’azz?”
Dada, whose attention was fully on his work, gave a small smile.
Then he twisted his mouth slightly and said, “After you have entered the labor room twelve times and given birth to the heirs of soldiers, the grandchildren of Abdul-Rasheed Shehu Kobi, Kiddo?”
She did not understand him at all.
And because he said it casually while still focused on his work, one could hardly believe he was the one who spoke.
He checked the remaining time again.
Only nine minutes remained.
At that exact moment, Imran, who was moving toward them, stepped on something.
He stopped instantly and looked down at his foot.
Faro, who was watching him, asked, “What is it?”
Imran pointed to his foot and signaled that it was a hidden explosive.
Then he signaled for Faro to remain silent so Dada would not hear.
Ya Ilahi.
Faro’s heart struck violently, and his body began to tremble.
He looked at Imran, then looked at Dada and Nimrah.
He did not know where to begin.
The other soldiers were also deeply shaken.
Immediately, they began scanning the area with detection equipment.
Since their commander had stepped on one, it meant there might be others hidden around.
By Allah’s will, they found almost seven devices buried in the ground, similar to the one Imran had stepped on.
Those trained to handle the situation immediately began their work, while the other officers moved far back.
But Faro could not move away.
His eyes remained fixed on Dabo and the others, red with panic.
The Final Minutes
“Dada, give me more dates,” Nimrah said with her eyes closed, because she believed the time had come.
Even Dada’s own heart had reached the peak of distress.
Only four minutes remained.
He had already cut two wires, but they were not the right ones. Instead, the timer sound became louder.
He took out another date and placed it in her mouth without stopping what he was doing.
At that same time, Faro was walking very slowly behind Imran while carrying a heavy stone.
Imran remained standing frozen in that same place, his eyes closed.
The only thing he kept repeating in his heart was the testimony of faith.
He had already sacrificed himself. He had accepted that today might be the day he answered Allah’s call.
His greatest hope was that Nimrah and Haysam would survive before time ran out.
Lailah Gives Birth
The doctors finally came out, and everyone jumped up except Gwaggo Khadijah and Mammah.
The doctor smiled broadly when she saw all of them staring at her with impatience.
“Alhamdulillah, congratulations. We successfully delivered a healthy baby girl.”
They all began releasing heavy breaths of relief.
Ma’aruff immediately bent down and performed sujood of gratitude.
At that same moment, a nurse came out from behind the doctor carrying the newborn baby.
Ammar, who was close to her, stretched out both hands and collected the baby.
With his face shining with a smile, he headed toward Mammah.
But because of her modesty, Mammah pointed him toward Gwaggo Khadijah instead.
Ammar laughed softly, feeling shy about what he had done, and handed the baby to Gwaggo Khadijah.
While they were still happily looking at the baby, Lailah was brought out and moved toward a recovery room.
Ma’aruff bent down beside the bed and held her hand.
She also looked at him, fully conscious throughout the operation, by Allah’s mercy.
The way he fixed his red, worried eyes on her made her smile at him.
Then she raised her hand and touched his face.
He took that hand and slowly brought it to his lips, kissing it gently.
Then he whispered, “May Allah bless you, righteous wife. May Allah grant you health.”
She only nodded, closing her heavy eyes.
When Mammah and the others reached them, she tried to withdraw her hand, which was still on his face.
But his eyes were still fixed on her, and he did not notice them. Instead, he held her hand more firmly.
Ja’afar had to nudge him playfully.
When he raised his head intending to glare at Ja’afar, his eyes met Mammah and Gwaggo Khadijah.
Quickly, he lowered his head and released Lailah’s hand.
Bilal and the others held back laughter.
Quietly, Ammar whispered into Bilal’s ear, “Yaya Billa, may Allah also marry us off. Honestly, I have been carried away.”
Bilal pinched him sharply on the side.
“Unch!” Ammar cried out.
Everyone turned and looked at him.
Ruky laughed unintentionally.
Ammar turned toward her and raised his hand as if to tap her head.
Quickly, she clung to Gwaggo Alawiyya.
Mammah glared at him and said, “You want to hit someone on a hospital bed, Ammar?”
He said, “Mammah, she laughed at me.”
Mammah replied, “With that scream and jump you made, as if a scorpion stung you, how would she not laugh?”
Ruky quickly said, “Mammah, Uncle Billa pinched him because he said he wants marriage. Please hurry and arrange it for him before he…”
Ammar’s eyes widened in panic when he heard her adding false details.
Bilal burst into laughter.
The way Ammar became confused and held Ruky to cover her mouth was enough to make anyone laugh.
Even Ja’afar and the others barely suppressed their laughter.
Ruky struggled to free herself, but he refused to let go until Mammah said, “Malam, release my girl before you remove her teeth. As for marriage, wait until Muhammad comes. We will do it for you.”
He had no choice but to release Ruky and leave the place out of embarrassment.
He felt as if the ground should open and swallow him.
In his heart, he vowed to deal with Ruky’s mouth later.
Ma’aruff and the others only smiled and shook their heads.
Mu’azz teased Ruky with his face, while she glared at him and adjusted her cap, which Uncle Ammar had shifted while she clung to Mammah.
The Family Remembers Nimrah
Lailah had been taken into the room, so the rest of them returned to Ruƙayya’s ward.
They began calling relatives and close friends to share the news.
Even though their minds were divided because of Nimrah’s situation, they had at least come out of one problem, Alhamdulillah.
The newborn baby remained in their hands, and they continued talking happily. They had already imagined that if Nimrah had been there, she would not have allowed anyone else to carry the baby.
Immediately, their worry returned fresh.
Everyone began making prayers for Nimrah.
Mammah, who had said nothing, started calling Dada’s line.
The phone rang, but he did not answer.
She did not worry too much because she knew that if the call ended without him answering, then he was working.
The Explosion
The vibration of his phone on his body was what woke him from the brief unconsciousness that had taken him after the terrifying pressure that hit his chest when the explosion nearly shattered his ears.
Slowly, he opened his eyes and stared at the remaining black smoke floating above the place where they were.
Then came the noise of many soldiers moving around the area.
“Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un. Imran…”
That was the first word that made him rise in shock.
He did not care about the sand covering his body.
He turned his eyes toward where Imran’s name was being called.
Seeing Faro lifting Imran, whose face was covered with blood, shook his whole world again.
He did not even know when he stood on his feet and moved toward them.
At that moment, Yusuf and the others arrived running with an emergency stretcher.
Dada felt as if his head would burst apart.
As he reached them, another soldier shouted from behind, “That bomb has taken the girl…”
The soldier had not even finished when darkness covered Dada’s eyes.
He stumbled and would have fallen if Faro had not held him.
Faro had to release Imran to the others and hold Dada.
He made him sit and collected a bottle of water from a soldier. He opened it and placed it at Dada’s mouth.
Dada raised his hand to push Faro away, but Faro quickly stopped him.
“Please, for Allah’s sake, drink even a little.”
Dada took one sip and turned his face away.
Faro was about to speak again when another soldier interrupted by shouting, “Sirs!”
They all jumped at once.
The soldiers ran toward the place.
Faro also stood.
Dada rose too, trying to suppress his fear, and followed them.
Meanwhile, the vehicle carrying Imran had already left for the hospital.
Nimrah Is Found Alive
“She is not dead!”
Those words almost made Dada’s heart leap out of his mouth.
He pushed through the soldiers and entered.
A soldier who wanted to reach toward Nimrah, who lay on the ground covered in sand, was stopped.
Faro ordered, “Leave.”
The soldier had no choice but to step back.
Dada knelt beside Nimrah and used his hands to pull her out completely.
He did not care about the sand on her body.
He only pulled her against himself and hugged her tightly, releasing rough, difficult breaths one after another.
Seeing that, Faro ordered the soldiers to move back and investigate what had happened.
The device that exploded had been the one on Nimrah’s body.
As for the one Imran stepped on, he had managed to hold it down at the exact moment Nimrah’s own device exploded.
In the shock of thinking the one under his foot had gone off, Imran lifted his foot, and that made him and the others jump aside. Imran’s head struck a stone.
One of the soldiers said, “This girl is truly clever. It seems she removed the vest and threw it away, sir.”
Faro strongly agreed with what the soldier said.
The other soldiers also agreed after checking and measuring the area.
Everything showed that the explosion happened above ground, especially because it happened far from where they had been standing. Nimrah had also been thrown aside, and sand covered her body.
Dada, who was trying again to pour water on Nimrah’s face while Yusuf poured it into his hand, heard what they were saying.
But his attention was not on them.
He poured water on her face for the third time, yet there was no sign that she would wake up.
Those who wanted to give her first aid were not allowed close because Dada would not give them permission.
He poured water a fourth time and tapped her cheeks lightly.
Someone was about to suggest taking her to the hospital immediately when she suddenly stiffened.
Quickly, Dada held her properly and pressed her close to himself.
She released a terrified scream and struggled violently, trying to free herself from his arms.
But their strength was not the same.
With one firm hold, he kept her in place.
Faro and the others immediately turned their full attention back to them.
A vehicle was quickly brought close.
They had to take her to the hospital urgently.
