"Muna jin ka, Commanda," Scorpion ya fada.

"That is why I love you so much. Kan ka na aiki," Scorpion ya fada bayan ya gama tusa abinda Commanda ya fada a kwakwalwar shi.

Kamar yanda Commanda ya tsara, haka suka aiwatar and the mission was successfully completed.

Lekawa mai gadin yayi don ganin wacce mai taxi yake magana akai. Saida ya kalleta sosai tukuna ya tabbatar da Hajiya Fatima ce. Da sauri ya koma ya nufi babban parlon gidan da gudu.

Duk mutanen dakin waigowa sukai suna kallon kofar don ganin wanda ya banko ta ba tare da sallama ba.

"Lafiya?" Sir Abdul ya tambaya yana mikewa tsaye da sauri.

"Hajiya Fatima ce wani mai taxi ya sauke yanzu," ya fada yana maida numfashi na gudun da yayi.

"Ka barshi ya tafi?" CSP Khalid ya tambaya. "A'a yallabai, nace ya ɗan jira, yana ƙofar gida." Da sauri mai kama da gudu, Khalid ya fita daga parlon zuwa waje. Khadijah da Khairat suma suka rufa masa baya.

Bayan haka na rantse da Allah ban san komai ba, ban taba tunanin sace ta aka yi ba..."

Shiru dakin ya dauka na tsawon minti ɗaya. Sir Abdul ya kalli Khalid yace,

"Ni kawai gani na nayi a cikin daki. Ba zan iya gane gurin ba, kuma tunda naje basu bari na fito waje ba. Da kuma zasu sako ni, saida suka min allura suka tabbatar da bani a hayyaci na tukuna."

Kowa shiru yayi. Khalid ya amshi address din mutumin sannan yace masa za'a neme shi idan bukatar hakan ta tashi...

Zaune Jaafar yake kan kujera, zuciyar shi tana masa zugi. Zafi biyu ya hadu masa: barazanar Fatima kan ta tsane shi ba zata iya rayuwa da shi ba, sai kuma ta bangare guda, son gano shi wanene yana tsunkulin shi. Tun safe ya kamata ace ya fita aiki amma gashi har yamma tayi ya kasa fita ko ina. Hajiya Fatima ta yi juyin duniya ya daure yaci abinci ko ba yawa amma yaki ji. Ji yake ko yaci abincin saide ya cuci kan shi kawai, ba dadin abincin zaiji ba. Shi a yanzu pressure da ke kanshi kawai ya wadatar ya hana shi jin wani abu wai shi yunwa.

Kofar babban parlon aka buɗe aka shigo. Tun daga nesa Alh. Lawal ke kallon Jaafar har ya karaso cikin parlon ya ajiye jakar shi. Hajiya Fatima ta zo ta dauka ta yi barka da dawowa; ya amsa amma hankalin shi na kan Jaafar.

"Lafiya Jaafar? Yau ban ganka office ba?" Alh. Lawal ya tambaya.

"Yes dad, ban samu zuwa ba saboda ko naje ba zan iya aikin ba."

"Lafiya ko?" Alhaji Lawal ya tambaya.

"Lafiya lau, Dad. Dama game da abinda Alh. Yusuf ya fada ne kwanaki... nake so ka fada min su wanene mahaifina?"

Shiru Alh. Lawal yayi yana kallon Jaafar, sai kuma yace,

"No, Dad. Kunyi min duk wani abun da ya kamata ace ɗa ya samu a wajen iyayen sa. Ni kaina zan so ace banji wannan labarin ba, amma kuma tunda har na riga naji, ai ya kamata na san ni waye, ko?"

Mikewa Alh. Lawal yayi yace, "Ban sani ba. Kaje ka tambayi wanda kaji labarin gurin sa. Shashashan banza, shashashan hofi!" Ya fada ya tashi ya shige dakin shi...

Kwanaki suna tafiya, auren Fatima da Sir Abdul na kara matsewa. Tana jin a jikinta cewa ba zata iya rayuwa ba tare da Jaafar ba, amma kuma ta dake ta tankwara zuciyar ta akan lallai zata iya.

Jaafar ya yi kiran duniyar nan taki daukan wayar shi, daga karshe ma sai ta kashe wayar layin ya daina aiki kwata-kwata.

A hankali yayi parking a kofar gidan, ya fito ya ɗan leka kanshi cikin gidan babu kowa. Sai ya ɗan kwankwasa. Mai gadi ne yazo ya tambaya "Lafiya?"

Murmushi Jaafar yayi yace "Lafiya lau. Alhaji na ciki kuwa?"

"Ba ya nan, amma nasan yanzu haka yana dab da dawowa," mai gadin ya bashi amsa.

Jaafar really wants to see Alhaji; he's the only person who would tell him shi din wanene.

"Okay, let me wait for him in his guest room. Ga mota ta nan waje," ya fada yana shigewa ciki.

Tunda ya shigo dakin, idanun shi akan ta ya fara sauka tukuna ya kalli Sir Abdul dake kusa da ita. Wani zafi yaji a kirjin shi lokaci daya; yaji yana nema ya rasa nutsuwar shi. Yana so ya koma amma ji yayi kamar ana kara fisgo shi ya shigo cikin parlon.

Dukan su yake kallo; ya danne abinda yake ji ya karasa shigowa ciki yace,

"Barkan ku." Babu wanda ya amsa mashi daga cikin su tsabar shock and thinking about what has brought him here.

Kujerar gefe dan nesa da su ya samu ya zauna ya ciro wayar shi yana dannawa. Yes, physically he's pressing his phone, but a hakikanin gaskiya kuwa su yake sauraro. Fatima kuwa, ko ɗar na shakkar sa bata ji ba, ta saki jiki suka cigaba da hira da Sir Abdul, wanda ta gagara yin hakan kafin shigowar sa.

Ji yayi zuciyarsa na masa tukikin zafi, idanun sa suna lumshewa tsabar takaici. Yana so su hadu da Alh. Yusuf amma kuma bai jin zai iya danne abinda yake ji a zuciyarsa.

'Shi Fatima take son taci amana? Me yayi mata haka? Don kawai ya aikata abinda yake ganin shine daidai, shine zata saka mashi da wannan abun?' ya fada cikin zuciyarsa.

Mikewa yayi yazo gaban su ya tsaya yace, "Fatima, gurin ki nazo." Shiru ta yi tana kallon sa na dan lokaci, sai kuma tace,

"Unfortunately, Jaafar, I regret to inform you of this: I have already made up my mind. I no longer have any feelings for you. I can't marry you... please leave me alone." Ta fada tana nuna masa hanyar fita daga guest room.

Murmushi yayi mai kama da yake sannan ya kalli Sir Abdul, sai kuma ya kara kallon ta yace,

"Kin fada masa abinda ke tsakanin mu ko, ko ni na fada masa?" Ya fada yana kallon Sir Abdul da ya kama bakin shi yayi shiru yana kallon sa. Deep down in his heart, yana jin dadin duk wani musayar yawun da ke faruwa a tsakanin su...
