“Mama, koh Kamal kike nema? Ina tunanin har yanzu yana sama. Ya kai Fatima dan ta huta. Yanzu ma nake cewa naje na ganta.” Cewar Ammar ga mahaifiyar tashi da bata daina waige-waigen neman Salmah ba.

“Ina budurwar ka?” Mahaifiyar tashi ta tambaye shi, shi kuwa a take zuciyar sa ta wani buga.
Me yasa take neman Salmah? Ya tambayi kanshi, ganin yanda ran mahaifiyar tashi yake kamar a bace, ba idea bace mai kyau ya barta taga Salmah.
“Mama kin mini alkawarin fah ba zaki yi komai ba, a wajen walimar nan.” Dan nata yayi mata tuni cikin sigar lallaba.
“Rabu da ni..! Ka fada mini kawai idan ka ganta.”
“Nasan abinda tayi bata kyauta ba, amma nayi miki alkawarin zata baiwa Zahara hakuri, idan ta dawo hayyacin ta. Na rantse miki tayi nadama.”
“Ba zaka fada min inda yarinyar nan take bane?” Ta fada da dan daga murya wanda hakan yayi silar janyo hankalin wasu daga cikin bakin.

Ganin haka yasa Ammar ya yiwa Mahaifiyar sa jagora inda Salmah take ba dan yaso ba. Lokacin da Hajiya Karima taga Salmah kwance kan gadon danta kamar wata matar shi, dandanan yanayin fuskarta ya sauya kamar wacce aljanu suka shafa.

Juyawa tayi ta kalli saurayin nata ko Allah yasa akwai wani taimako da zai yi mata, saidai shima duk a rude yake. Ya kasa fahimtar dalilin da yasa mahaifiyar sa ke ta duk wannan alhali tayi masa alkawarin ba zata yi wani abu ba wajen walimar shi. Addu'a yake tayi a ransa, kar ta yiwa Salmah wani abun. Sai dai ya makaro.

“Eh ai dole ki zo kiyi rashe-rashe kan gado, tinda a gidan ku kike ko a dakin mijin ki...!” Cewar Hajiya Karima rai a bace.
A rikice, Ammar ya kama hannun mahaifiyar sa, ya dan jata gefe dan suyi magana a nutse amma Hajiya Karima ta fizge hannun ta ta dumfaro inda Salmah take, da tuni ita ta fahimci lallai wannan matar ba son auren su take ba. Tuni taji kunci ya mamaye ta, a ranta tace me tayi da ta cancanci irin wannan tsana ga mahaifiyar Ammar. Tasan idan har bata amince da auren su ba, toh ba zasu taba samun kwanciyar hankali ba bayan sun yi auren.
Zuciya na mata zugi, jikin ta na rawa ta duka ta kwashi takalmin ta da nufin barin gidan baki daya.

Saidai ba wannan bane Hajiya Karima take so, bata gama magana ba.

“Ina zaki je? Ban gama magana ba da ke. Yau za'a yita ta kare. Ina son idan kika bar gidan nan, ki sa a kanki ba zan taba amincewa ba dana ya aure ki. Ta yaya kike tunanin zan amince da ke a matsayin matar dana bayan kin gama yawo a hotels din garin nan. Daina kallo na da wannan idanun naki, gaskiya ce na fada. Kin dauka ba wanda zai san da wannan danyen aikin? Duniyar nan karama ce yarinya, kar ki yi abu da tunanin wai wani ba zai sani ba.”

“Mama, dan Allah.. ki daina...”

Ammar a sanyaye yake kokarin dakatar da mahaifiyar sa, saidai ita sai da ta tabbatar da ta juye duk abinda ke ranta.

“Daina taba ni Ammar, ko kasan da yarinyar nan karuwa ce? Na tabbatar baka sani ba, dan ba zaka taba yarda ka aure ta ba. Yau na bude maka idanu ka gani ko ita wacece a zahiri. Ina son ka kawo karshen alakar ka da ita yanzu-yanzu.”

Salmah... ji tayi tamkar an daba mata wuka a kirji.
“Ammar...” Ta kira sunan sa cikin dusashiyar murya. “Ammar...ya..zaka..min..haka..?” Ta tambaye shi a sanyaye.

“Na rantse miki da Allah ba ni na fada mata ba, ki yarda da ni.”

“Kenan kana sane ma? Kake son ka aure ta alhali kasan ballagaza ce? So kayi ka jawo min abun kunya koh, toh ka sani Allah baya bacci.” Ta fadawa danta dake kokarin bin bayan masoyiyar sa.

Yasan irin yadda Salmah ke shiga matsanancin kunci idan aka tuna mata da wannan bangaren mai bakin duhu na rayuwar ta. Dole taji ba dadi har ma ta tsane shi. Amma Allah ne kadai shedar shi kan sanin ba shi ya fadawa mahaifiyar shi ba. Haka bai san ya aka yi ta san da wannan labarin ba. Bai taba yiwa wani wannan zancen ba. A ranshi yace zai ji da wannan daga baya, yanzun ya kamata ya nemi inda Salmah take.

A bangaren Salmah, tafiya take a titi ba takalmi a kafar ta, ba tare da tasan inda zata je ba. Tayi da nasanin fadawa Ammar wannan zancen. Ta yarda da shi ne sosai kuma tayi tunanin ba zai taba fadawa kowa ba, amma jin maganar yanzu a bakin mahaifiyar sa ya karyar mata da zuciya. Bata taba tunanin irin wannan ranar zata riske ta ba. Amma ba wanda zata zarga sai kanta. Laifin ta ne idan an alakanta ta da hakan. Tasan dole wata rana rayuwar da tayi a baya zata yi mata dirar mikiya a sabuwar rayuwar ta amma ba zata zata yi mata ciwo ba har haka.

Dakin da mahaifiyar shi da Zahara suke ciki ne kuma window a bude take. Mikewa yayi da niyyar barin wurin amma kukan da Zahara take ya tsayar da shi.

Ba karamin haushi Zahara ta bashi ba, kuma ya yanke shawarar seta mata zama. Ya tsani shiga harkokin wasu amma wannan karon ya shafi dan uwan shi. Ya kamata yayi wani abun. Fitowa yayi daga library ya nufi dakin da Zahara take, amma tuni mahaifiyar su ta fita neman Salmah. Tarar da Zahara yayi, tayi kwance rairan bisa gado kamar ba abinda ya faru. Haushi ne ya kara turnike shi.

“Ko kin san abinda kika aikata yanzun?” Ya tambaye ta.

Zahara ta juya ta kalli kofa, sannan ta tashi zaune a hankali tace:

“Ba wannan bane ya kawo ni, me yasa kika fadawa mahaifiyar mu duk wannan?” Ya tambaye ta fuska a murtuke.

Saukowa Zahara tayi daga kan gadon a hankali ta matso inda yake. Duk da fuskar shi ba annuri, dambe yake ta yi da shedanun cikin kansa dan kar ya kalli surar jikin ta da duk ta bayyana cikin doguwar rigar ta.

Sai dai taji hankalin ta ya dan kwanta jin babu wani ciwo tsakanin kafafuwan ta. Kanta yayi dub, ta kasa tuna komai. Abinda kawai take iya tunawa shine, tana kokarin shiryawa zuwa wajen walima daga nan shuru.

Ita da har ma ta manta da shi a wurin, Zahara ta dawo hayyacin ta, nan ta gane mutumin da ke kusan ta ba kowa bane face dan uwan ogan ta. Hankalin ta taji ya dan kwanta, amma wani sabon tsoron ya sake shigan ta.

“Me nake yi a nan?” Ta tambaya tana kokarin mikewa tsaye amma jin kanta ya sara mata ta koma ta zauna.

Kamal a bangaren sa bai san me zai yi ba ganin wannan drama ta Zahara. Wani lokacin ta dawo tamkar bomb dake shirye ta watse kan kowa, wani lokacin kuma ta dawo mai sanyin hali da tsoron mutane. Yanke shawarar bin wani bangare na zuciyar shi dake son taimakawa yarinyar yayi.

Kamal zira hannayen sa yayi daidai kugunta da nufin taimaka mata ta tashi amma Zahara ta saki kara tare da cewa kar ya taba ta.

“Dan Allah.. bana so.. kar ka taba ni dan Allah..”

Wata kila ta dan ji sanyi na ganin dan uwan Mr. Ammar ne a dakin, amma har yanzu bata san me take yi a nan ba. Cikin wannan shigar.

Zahara ta kasa tuna ko kadan abinda ya faru a marecen ranar nan. Abinda kawai zata iya yi shine ta tambayi wannan mutumin duk da tasan aikin Amriya ne. Ta san ita ce ta shiga jikin ta, amma a baya koda ta shiga jikin ta idan ta dawo hayyacin ta, kusan tana iya tuna komai amma wannan karon shuru ne. Kamar wacce aka debi wani bangaren na kwakwalwarta.

“Malam dan Allah ka fada min abinda ya faru..”

“Ina son sanin me ya faru please...”

“Then.. tinda kin matsa. Ban san me ya faru tsakanin ki da Salmah ba amma ta ture ki ne har kika buge kika fita hayyacin ki. Shine na kawo ki nan domin ciwon da kanki yake bayan kin fadi. Sannan mahaifiyar mu tazo ganin ki, nan ne naji kina fada mata cewa ...”

Shuru yayi, ita kuwa tsoro ya kara kamata. Tana tunanin me kuma Amriya ta aikata.

“Please ka fada min komai..”

“Kin fadawa mahaifiyar mu cewa, Salmah tana bin maza a waje. Fatan kin gane me nake nufi?”

“A'a..a'a.. ba zai yiwu ba... Ba ni na aikata hakan ba..”

“Wai kina yin kamar kin manta ne? Ko kuwa da gaske kin manta abinda kika yi?”

“Please Malam, ka taimake ni na fita daga gidan nan.”
Bata san dalilin da yasa Amriya tayi hakan ba, amma ta dau alkawarin ba zata sake bari ta cutar da wannan matar ba. Ya kamata ta bar gidan nan, kafin ta sake shiga jikin ta, ta sake aikata wani abun.

“Kina son in kai ki gidan ku ne? Amma kafin nan ina son sanin meke faruwa? Ko baki lafiya ne?”

“A'a ba zan iya zuwa gida a irin wannan shigar ba. Ka fidda ni nesa da nan kafin ta dawo, please.” Ta shiga rokon sa.

“Kafin ta dawo?”

“Zan yi maka bayanin komai, bayan mun fita daga gidan nan. Nayi maka alkawari.”

Kamal kansa ya kulle, amma duk da haka ya yanke shawarar taimakon ta. Kafin su bar gidan, ya shiga dakin kanwar su, cikin kayan ta, ya daukowa Zahara doguwar jallabiya kamar yanda Zahara ta nema, ba zata iya tashi tsaye ba sai ta canza kaya.

Fita suka yi ta kofar bayan gidan ba tare da wani ya gansu ba. Kamal komawa yayi ya dauko motar sa, ya dawo ya dauki Zahara.

Suka tayar da motar, suka bace cikin duhun dare.
