Ahankali Fulani ta shiga kokarin bude idanuwanta tana jin sun mata wani irin nauyi kamar an daura mata wani abu a saman su.

Dan jim yayi sanin inda maganar ta tado, sai ya kalli dakin baki ɗaya. Sanin the walls have ears yasa ya shiga goge mata hawaye yana fadin, "I've heard about them. Duk inda suke a fadin duniyar nan zan nemo su in sha Allah. Nasan Islam is safe a duk inda take. Na yarda Ubangijina zai kareta."

Sosai Fulani ta shiga kuka tana fada masa yadda Islam ta taɓa convincing dinta cewar kannen mijinta da na hannu a kisan sa. Ta ki yarda. Cikin shashsheka ta dago tana fadin:

(Sai ta kalli EHSAAS, ta kalli dakin kamar tana gudun wani ya jisu, ta shiga rada mai cike da jin kai): "Mimah... yanzun na ji, nima zuciyata bata yarda da ita ba. Duk da ina mata kallon yar da na haifa a cikina, amma ba hakan ne zaisa in barta idan har tana da hannu a cikin abinda ya same ka ba."

Ta shiga fada ma kanta da kanta. Memory ɗinta da mahaifinta lokacin da tana ƙarama ya shiga dawo mata.

Ta rintse ido, ba tare da ta san kalmar da ta fito daga bakinta ba, take faɗin: "I choose Blaine. I'll marry him."

Yau suna zaune a falon. Kamar yadda ya saba, ya zauna gaban TV, amma ba kallo yake ba-karatun littafin Watchtower yake yi.

> "Blaine and Peace: United in Jehovah's Grace."

Grand wedding a Beverly Hills Church.

Amma gaba ɗaya, Islam is not in her righteous senses. Kullum idan Blaine yazo da niyyar ɗaukarta su fita don su saba da juna, sai ta samo excuse din da zai sa tace ba zata je ba.

Ba ya takura mata, saboda yadda ya mutu akanta. Kuma yana ganin ai matarshi zata zama-in no time, zasu dawo rayuwa a tare a guri guda.

Mikewa tayi tana kallon wayar mamanta dake charge a gefe. A hankali ta faki idonta for the second time, ta dauki wayar, ta shiga dakinta da sauri. Kallon camera ɗin tayi, tana boye wayar sosai a cikin rigarta kafin ta tura bandaki. Tashiga, ta kullo tana karewa saman bayan kallo, ta tabbatar babu camera a ciki, sannan ta kunna ruwa, ta shiga danna number ɗin Aman, wacce ta rigada ta haddace.

Tana fatan ta shiga duk da tayi tunanin ba zata ƙara neman taimako a gurin wani daga cikin ahalin EHSAAS ba. Amma ta san ba ta da option-ba don kanta take kiransa ba, saboda ita already ta san rayuwarta yazo ƙarshe. Da Jr take, so take tai alerting ɗinsa. Ba don yazo yay stopping wedding ɗin ba, sai don yazo ya tafi da ɗansu, ya kai wa babansa. Duk da ba ta san Mehtav ba, amma a yadda ta ɗauki Jr, ta goyashi, duk da tasan shi ɗin ɗan mutumin da take so ne kuma take kishi da matarsa, tana sonshi.

She saw light a idon Mehtav-na tausayin da jinkan ɗanta wanda ba ta taɓa gani a idon mahaifinta ba. Don haka gara ya tashi hannun EHSAAS, ko matarsa zeba wa, ko maama. Tasan duka a Musulmi ne, ɗanta zai samu ya tashi.

Wayar bata shiga kwata-kwata-ta rasa yadda zata yi. Ji tayi muryar mom dinta tana kiranta, da yan koke-koken Jr, da alama kawo mata shi tai. Feeding dinsa. Da sauri ta shiga wanke hawayen da ya rigada ya bata fuskarta, ta fito tana ƙakalo murmushin ƙarya. Already ta boye wayar cikin toilet ɗin. Karɓarsa tayi tana ɗan mai wasa. Kuwa yafara dariya, wai yasan mamansa.

Veronica tana kallonta. Tasan tayi kuka. A hankali ta haɗa ta da Jr cikin kunnenta, taji ta rada mata: "You can keep the phone."

That means tasani-tasan tana ɗaukar mata waya ba tare da saninta ba. Amma me yasa ba ta taɓa mata magana akan hakan ba?

Murmushi kawai Veronica tayi mata, sanin tambayoyi take yi a cikin ranta. Ta yi kissing a cheeks dinta tana faɗin: "I love you, darling."

Tsawan daren ranar, Islam bata yi barci ba. Sallar ma ƙasa da ita take yi. Haka ta kwana tana kallon fuskar ɗanta, tana jin wannan ne karo na ƙarshe da zata sake ganin sa. Suicidal thoughts ɗin da suke zuwa kanta suna neman fin ƙarfinta. Ta soma tunanin ko ta shiga toilet, kawai ta cika bathtub, tai drowning a ciki.

Sai ta fara girgiza kai tana faɗin: "That is a long process. What if I survive?"

Sannan kuma ta soma tunanin inda zata samu tsauni mai tsayi da zata faɗa, ta mutu, ko kuma bindiga. Tasan babanta na da bindiga, amma bata san inda yake ajiye ta ba. Da tasani da tasani-maybe zata ɗauko: it's either ta kashe kanta ko ta kashe shi.

Wannan lissafin take ta yi a ranta tana saje, trying number kowa da ta sani a cikin zuciyarta, ciki har da ta EHSAAS. Amma saboda nisan da yake tsakanin ƙasashen, babu wacce ta samu ta shiga.

Rubutu ta soma yi, tanayi tana kuka. Ba tayi expecting zata yi this long type ba. Kawai ta gama rubutawa, ta bawa Aman amanar ɗanta, ta cewa ya ɗanka shi a hannun EHSAAS ko Fulani.

Yadda taga rana haka taga dare a ranar. Ba ita ta tashi daga zaman da take ba, sai Asubah. Kuma tun a lokacin take jin masu decorations suna ƙara kammala wanda ba su gama ba jiya. Domin wani irin ado na kawa Abraham ya sa aka mai gida kamar wani auren soyayya za a yi.

Islam ta rayu a ranta sanda take ganin yadda ko'ina na gidan yayi kyau, yayi haske kamar kasace.

Sallar Asubah tayi a hanzarce, ta dawo ta ɗauki Jr da ya farka. Shima tai mai wanka, ta shiga shirya shi. Tanajin wani irin mugun son mutuwa kawai. Shedan ke ingiza ta cewa she should just end everything.

A hakanan tana gama shirya Jr, taga shigowar mom dinta. Lokacin rana ta fara fitowa. Ta ce mata tayi wankan? A'a.

Ta ce mata tana girgiza kai. Mom dinta tace taje tayi. Ta aje mata duk wasu turarruka da zata buƙata. Ta tabbatar tayi using da su, ta soma faɗa mata amfaninsu a jikinta.

Tabe baki tayi, ta shiga yi, tanajin wani irin abu-wai ita ce zata yi wankan turare ma wani? Ba wa kanta ba? Ba wa mijinta EHSAAS ba?

"Allah ya kiyaye," ta faɗa a ranta.

Amma a fili sai ta girgiza kai tana tuna aurenta da EHSAAS a NURISTAN. It was nothing like this at all. Though tasan babanta babu kalar wedding ɗin da ba zai iya affording ba, amma tasan deep down, yana tsoron yay throwing big wedding saboda kada wani daga cikin ahalin EHSAAS ya ganta.

Ko kallon kayayyakin da aka ajiye mata da sunan tayi amfani da su ta gyara saboda aurenta batayi ba, tawatsa ordinary ruwanta ta fito. Kallon matan da suka jere a saman gadonta tayi tana kallon empty cradle din Jr, tace: "Kudin suwaye kuma? Me kuka shigo nan yi? Ina yarona?"

Ta jefa musu tambayoyin a lokaci daya tana yatsine fuska, alamar duk sun nuna a mugun fusace take. Dayar tace: "Calm down, beautiful bride. Your parents sent us in. Babanki ne ya dau yaron, yace ingaya miki sai kun hade a church."

Dan jim tayi, sanin wannan ba wai sako bane-barazana ce. Tacewa ya dauje mata Jr, kuma in ta isa taki showing up for the wedding, ita da sake ganin danta sai Allah.

Yayi. Dogon numfashi taja tana kallon wayar mamanta dake saman gadon. Ta dauka. Babu call, babu message ɗin ko daya daga cikin lambobin da ta kwana tana kira jiya.

Zama tayi kawai suka fara shiryata. Suna yi suna kokarin janta da hira, musamman dayar da take zargin tana da alaka da Blaine-kila 'yar uwarsa ce ko cousin dinsa. Ta runtse ido tana tuna mutanenta su Hajiya Jannat. These two young ladies are nothing like them.

Su ba maganar da suke yi sai ta soyayya, soyayya; su kuma Hajiya Jannat are women of wisdom, wanda ko zaman minti biyu kai da su, dolene ka karu da abu ko kwara daya ne.

Tun kafin su gama suka fara santinta saboda ba karya-kwalliya namugun mata kyau.

"Wow! Blaine is so lucky!" cewar dayar tana karasa styling kan Islam. "Damn girl, are you even real?" "I bet the angels are jealous of this look!"

Dayar ta fada a kokarin son ganin Islam din tayi murmushi, don seta kara kyau. Amma sai kara hade ran tawa sukaga tayi.

Ta tsaya chak tana kallon kanta a cikin madubi. Ta kalli fuskarta. Yes, she looked like a queen. But inside, she was a graveyard of dreams.

Excusing kanta tayi tana mikewa da sauri. Ta dau wayar ta nufi bathroom. Ta kullo kofa, ta kunna famfo, ta cigaba da kiran layin Aman. Seda ta kira sau goma sha hudu.

Ta tura mai: Text. Voice note. Duk ba a amsa.

Silence. "Number you're trying to reach is not available. Please try again later."

Harta haddace kalaman da ake fada a waya. Hannunta na rawa kawai taji wayar ta fadi sai cikin ruwan da ta kunna. Tana rawa don kar su ji tana magana, ko da an daga kiran. Kallon wayar ta shiga yi tanajin kamar the universe just wants her to end all of this. Tsabar fushi, she didn't even bother ta ciro wayar a ruwan-ta fito.

Su suka taimaka mata ta saka hadaddiyar white wedding gown dinta, da ta mugun yi mata da jiki, kamar daman an rigada an gwadata, an gama komai cif da cif. Tana tsaye kamar mutum-mutumi tanajin yadda suke santin kyawunta.

A lokacin da komai ya kammala, music was playing from the living room. Camera crew sun ɗora domin za'a fara daukar amaryar ne tun daga lokacin da ta fito daga dakinta.

Blaine, daya kasa jira sai sun hade a altar ya ganta, ya biyo ta. Yayi hakan ne don yana ganin kamar in aka barta ta zo tare da mom dinta, ba zata zo ba. Kamar yadda duk wani date da ya saka bata taba zuwa ba.

Ya shigo dakin sanye da white three-piece suit, da tayi bala'in amsar jikinsa. Wani irin kamshi mai dadi na fitowa daga jikinsa.

Ya tsaya kawai yana kallonta. Yan matan ihun murna suka fara yi da reaction dinsa towards kwalliyar, irin antashi kansa dinnan. Kafin ya karasa daf da ita kamar zai shige jikinta, yace:

"Peace, you look breathtaking!"

Ya riƙe hannunta yana jin kamar yau ce rana mafi daraja kuma mafi tsada a rayuwarsa.

Runtse ido tayi jin tabon da yayi kamar wani garwashi ne ya taba jikinta. The touch is so unfamiliar-unlike that of EHSAAS. His touch, his scent…

Runtse ido tayi tanajin comparing su biyun ma kamar zunubi ne babba. Bata ankara ba, taji numfashinsa a daci da ita.

Ya kai bakinsa kusa da nata da niyyar kissing, "Wait for me in the car," ta ce da wani sauti mai ƙarfi da ya sa shi yadakata da abin da yake shirin yi.

Ya shiga kallon yadda ta kau da fuskarta a ƙasa, kamar ma ƙyankyaminshi take yi. Ya ɗan murmusa, though confused. Ya bar ɗakin. Sunsun sun yan matan ganin angon ma ta ɗaka mai tsawa ya fice, su ka bi bayanta.

Tanajin rufe ƙofar mutum na ƙarshe, taji kamar ya rufe da babin rayuwarta ne gaba ɗaya. Ƙofar ta fara nufa, cikin dabara ta saka jamlock ɗin ƙofar da ya fara lalacewa-wanda in ka rufe, da ƙyar kake buɗewa ta ciki. Ta kan sanya shi ne saboda Abraham in za ta yi ibadar dare.

A hankali ta juya da niyyar komawa bandaki ta wanke kwalliyar ta, sai kawai ta hango rope ɗin fashion levels da Veronica ke amfani da shi don manne-manne.

Kallon rope ɗin ta tsaya yi chak kafin ta ɗaga kai ta kalli fanka. She saw it happening several times in news, books, movies, amma bata taɓa tunanin abin zai reaching kanta ba.

A ranta take raya dukkan characters ɗin littafi, especially her favourite characters da suke losing hope a kan rayuwa su kashe kansu. Ashe-ashe haka suke ji? Ta taɓa cewa bata saniba-had it been ta sani, she would have never ever judged them no matter what.

Cikin hanzari, jin music ɗin da ake playing a compound ɗin gidan nasu na ƙara ƙarfi, yasa ta ƙarasa walk-in closet dinta, ta ɗauko stool doguwa. Ta fito ta ajiye a sa'itin fankar.

Rigar dake mata rito a baya taja, ta yage net ɗin tana watsarwa a gefe. Ta hau dake-tanada tsayi, abin bai mata wani wuya ba.

Daurawa? She wasn't thinking straight gaba ɗaya. Ta shiga faɗin: "Ya Allah, Ka gafarta min… Na yarda da ƙaddara, amma ba zan iya ba. I can't take this anymore. If I'm wrong, forgive me. I leave Jr to You."

Tana ƙarasa faɗar hakan, ta ɗaura igiyar a kanta. Cikeda dabara, ta tunkudar da stool ɗin da ta hau gefe.

At first, it's pain. Ashe, rai baya fita da wuri.

Ta shiga rayawa a ranta lokacin da taji yadda rope ɗin tayi strangling wuyanta. Wasu irin wahalallun hawaye ne suka shiga bin fuskarta. Tanajin numfashinta yana kokarin barin jikinta.

Me? Jikinta na bari. She felt so cold. A lokacin, tanajin kamar ranta ya riga da ya tafi.

Saboda kalar azaba ce wadda bata taɓa sha ba a rayuwarta. Ta tuna sanda Abraham yayi mata mugun duka da ya kai ga hospitalisation, amma bata ji kalar wannan pain ɗin da take ji a yanzu ba.

Tanajin, "Ashe haka fitar rai yake?" "Is this what she chose for herself?"

Ƙakari take yi ba tare da ta san tana yi ba.

Ga zuciyarta wadda ta danganta da mahaukaciya a daidai wannan gabar. Da take kokarin kiran sunan wanda bata yarda ta kira sunansa ba a bakinta:

"EHSAAS…"

BOOM! Kamar ƙofa ta faɗi, taji ƙarar ta shiga kunnenta.

Wani irin mahaukacin buga ƙofar ake ci gaba da yi. Tana jiyo muryoyin jama'a da ta kasa gane muryar waye da waye-kamar faɗa ake yi.

Sai kuma wani murya… daga can. Tanajinta kamar from a distant world take fita. Ta fara wondering ko dai ta riga ta mutu ne?

Muryar ce wadda ko ina ta ji ba za ta taɓa iya kin ganeta ba. Mai cikeda tsoro, tausayi, jinkai da ƙuna, kauna mara sirki, wadda ta kasa tantance me yinta-kuka yake yi ko kuma tsabar tsagwaran tashin hankali ne yasa ta rawa.

"ISLAAAAAAM!!!" "PEACE!!!" "Open the damn door, please, please, don't do this to me!"

Muryar nan… Muryar da ya taɓa ce mata: "I'll protect you with my life." Muryar EHSAAS.
