He said it while stretching his handbag toward me.
I bent slightly and collected it.
He also removed the cap from his head and handed it to me before finding a chair and sitting down.
I was heading toward his room to drop the things when his rough voice stopped me.
“My lady, what about my shoes?”
I smiled and said, “I was about to take these inside first.”
He asked, “Or have you left me to remove them by myself?”
I returned close to him, squatted, and removed his shoes.
After removing them, I also took off his socks. Then I carried everything into his room.
I placed each item in its proper place and adjusted anything I noticed was not well arranged.
After that, I entered the bathroom and prepared warm water for him exactly the way I knew he liked it.
Nana Prepares Everything for Sardauna
When I returned to the place where I had left him, I found him pressing his phone.
I cleared my throat gently, making my voice come out sweetly, then said, “Your bath water is ready.”
He dropped his phone and stood to go into the room.
“Set my food before I come out,” he said in his rough voice before entering.
I remained standing there.
When he had spent almost five minutes inside and I heard nothing from him, I released a hidden breath of relief.
His silence confirmed to me that the water was exactly right for him.
I returned to the kitchen and began gathering the food items.
Slowly, I arranged everything on the dining table.
After finishing, I went into my own bathroom too and quickly rinsed myself. Then I came out and began getting dressed.
Sardauna Calls Nana
“Nana! Nana! Nana!”
I heard his voice.
Without delay, I quickly wore my hijab and came out.
“Yes, I am here.”
He said, “You can hear me calling you.”
He was sitting at the dining table.
I answered, “I just came out from the bathroom.”
“Okay, I see. Serve me.”
He said it while his attention remained on his phone.
I took a plate and placed three pieces of gurasa for him.
Then I took a bowl and poured soup into it.
I also took another bowl and served him spicy ram meat.
After that, I poured him a cup of the ginger drink he had asked me to prepare.
When I finished everything, I said, “Here it is.”
He dropped his phone and began eating.
Seeing that he had started eating, I returned to the room to continue dressing.
I combed my long hair first, then began my simple makeup.
I wore a long abaya after spraying my body with a mixture of perfumes.
The Empty Food Bowls
When I came out to the sitting room, I did not see him at the dining table.
Only after entering fully did I see him on the chair, pressing his phone.
I went to the dining table and sat down.
I opened the food container to take gurasa, but I saw only one piece left.
I smiled inwardly and said to myself, “So Yallaɓai enjoyed today’s cooking.”
I took the remaining one and placed it on the plate he had eaten from.
Then I opened the soup container to pour some soup, but there was none inside. He had finished it completely.
For the first time among the things Sardauna did to me, I felt hurt.
I opened the container that held the spicy ram meat. It was also empty.
“What happened?” I asked myself.
I knew Sardauna could not have eaten all of that by himself. He must have taken some somewhere, or maybe returned it to the kitchen.
I asked him, “Did you take the remaining food to the kitchen?”
My voice trembled like someone who had run a race.
And truly, I had run a race, because my heart had raced before my mouth managed to bring out that question.
He replied, “I did not take anything. Is that not the work?”
I sat at the dining table.
My whole mood changed. I could not find anything pleasant anymore.
I heard his voice behind me asking, “What are you doing there?”
I wiped the tear that had escaped from my eye and said, “Nothing.”
He said, “Then come here.”
I replied, “I want to eat.”
I did not stand.
He simply said, “Okay,” and continued with what he was doing.
Nana Eats What She Finds
I stood and entered the kitchen.
I did not even know what I could cook and put into my stomach.
My fingers were hurting badly, as if I had touched hot pepper.
After walking around the kitchen without finding what to prepare, I came back to the sitting room.
I opened the fridge, took bread, returned to the dining table, and ate it with the leftover gravy from the spicy meat.
After finishing, I gathered everything and took it to the kitchen.
I cleaned the place properly, then went toward him, intending to sit and ease the tiredness consuming my body.
But before I reached him, my eyes fell on what he was doing.
He had opened the zipper of one of the sofa cushions and was pulling out the foam inside, tearing it little by little like a small child playing.
I swallowed something heavy in my heart before saying, “Sardauna! You are tearing the chair.”
I said it while looking at the pieces of foam he had scattered, my heart beating with worry at the way he was damaging our household items.
He looked at me, then looked at what he had thrown around.
He said, “You left me here alone. Was I not supposed to do anything I wanted? It is only because I did not cry for you.”
I smiled and sat beside him.
“I was eating,” I said.
He pushed out his lips like a small child about to cry.
Then he said, “So you left your husband, who loves you more than anything, all alone with no companion to sit with him?”
I replied, “But I am here now.”
