YAFI YAFI RUWA KAURI

 The Migration and the Secret Trandevous

His body trembled as his heart swelled with rage at his current predicament. Truly, the time had come when he could no longer tolerate it. Thus, he stood up in anger and headed into the house. Being the elder of their clan, he looked at how everyone stood around in confusion and said to them:
"Everyone, get yourselves ready, we are leaving the land of Gombe." Since he was the patriarch, no one dared to argue with him. They said, "Alright," and began packing their belongings.
...
Quietly, she slipped out of the house and headed towards the road. Only after walking a long distance did she stop near a certain house, standing there for a long time waiting for him to come out.
With a deep sigh, she walked towards him.
"Hamma Bashir!" He turned around quickly and looked at her.
"Balaraba!" He rushed over to her.
Swallowing her tears, she said, "Why do you want to distance yourself from me? After you have accustomed me to your love, I cannot leave you. For God's sake, take me away, let us run away! Do not let their conflict affect us, don't let it affect our love, please!"
Seeing how she wept while looking at him, his heart softened completely. He felt that if he did not listen to her, it would look like ingratitude. Therefore, he resolved in his heart to do it just to make her happy.
"Are you ready?" he asked her.
"I am always ready and waiting for you."
He smiled and said to her, "Alright, go back and gather your things while I go inside and return." She nodded and turned back towards the house. Upon entering, she found everyone packing for the journey, and even the livestock had been gathered.
When she entered their room, she found Rakiya packing her things.
"Balaraba, Baffa said everyone should pack their belongings; we are leaving the land of Gombe."
She pouted, then began packing her things, keeping to herself. She thought of Hamma Bashir, praying to God that he would not disappoint her and that he would keep the promise he made to her.
...
"Are you in your right mind? How can you agree to this nonsense?" Saminu said.
"Do not worry, just wish us well."
**
At dawn, they set out for the journey because they wanted to arrive early. Thus, they all rose and departed; no one lingered behind since everyone knew this journey was inevitable, having slept with the knowledge and prepared. Therefore, after everyone went out, they took to the road.
This was the beginning...

Part 2: The Scandal of Umm-e-Rooman (2019, Mubi)

2019
Mubi.
I was kneeling before my parents and my grandparents, both men and women, doing nothing but sobbing heavily. Not a single person among them could speak. Everyone was shocked by what was happening, thinking that in their world, such a thing could never happen.
"You will give us an explanation of what happened, not cry for us, Umm-e-Rooman," my grandfather said. I burst into a fresh bout of crying, tightening my grip on my hands and shaking my head. I was unable to speak, only weeping as my body trembled.
Frustration overcame my Daddy. Without making his intentions clear, he grabbed the charging cable used for the portable phone belonging to Alhaji Babba (Alhaji Hashim Hassan Yero) and began to flog me mercilessly. I screamed, looking for a place to hide, but absolutely no one dared to rescue me—especially my mother (Inna), who stood up and left the living room where the meeting was being held, shedding tears of bitter sorrow.
She felt as though a lie had been fabricated against me, yet there was the evidence. As soon as she entered her room, she locked the door, sat down, and stared silently at the floor. Slowly, she stood up, went to the bathroom, performed her ablutions, and returned to spread her prayer mat.
She knew she was reciting prayers and whatever came out of her mouth, but she did not know the exact number of prayers she observed, for she prayed without knowing how many units (rak'ahs) or prostrations she performed. Upon saying the final salutations, she raised her hands to the heavens, weeping and telling Allah her problems, for she knew He alone would relieve her, not any human being. She continued to pray until she felt she could no longer speak, finally bursting into a silent, intense cry.
...
Back in Alhaji Babba's parlor, Daddy beat me mercilessly until they noticed I had stopped screaming. They said to him:
"You cannot erase what she has done to us; she has stained our family's reputation with black paint. If not for the sake of avoiding past mistakes, I would have ordered her to leave this family entirely, so her sin does not affect the children growing up in the future," said my grandfather, Alhaji Hashim Hassan Yero.
Alhaji Muhammad Madakin Muri, my maternal grandfather who fathered our mother (Inna), stood up.
"Well, Alhaji Hashim Hassan, may God make it better. Umm-e-Rooman has brought shame upon us because, with this evidence, I am certain I will not show my face at our council for a year. I have nothing left to say except about Umm-e-Rooman, the 'good girl' and all that. You would think she was a righteous person in her large hijab. What a shame."
The parlor fell silent. Yakura Adama, who was his wife, stood up to support her husband, and she left alongside her co-wives, Yadiko Delu and Yadiko Tarasulu.
Baffa Chindo cleared his throat and said to them:
"Alhaji, please exercise patience, but the matter of Umm-e-Rooman requires contemplation and investigation. It is not feasible to simply keep punishing her like this. Furthermore, I object to this evidence brought before us."
"Khamil is the fifth man she was supposed to marry. Furthermore, when you look at it, how can it be that every time she is about to get married, she is accused of aborting a pregnancy? Alhaji, all of us here are your children, you fathered us—excluding Khamil’s father and the other relatives. Yawuro, please forgive me, but if there is anyone suited to give testimony about Umm-e-Rooman, it is you, because this girl has been under your care. It is only work that takes her to Yola, and even in Yola, she stays in my house." He paused, lowering his head.
Before adjusting his posture, he continued:
"I know Babangida wanted to marry her; God did not decree it. Everyone knows how we woke up one day and Babangida was gone without a trace. Alhaji, look at this matter from the perspective of someone who has lost a part of his life. I am not speaking merely as Umm-e-Rooman's uncle; I investigated and had others investigate for me, looking everywhere, and I found no news of him. For God's sake, ease up on her. If there is something hidden behind her predicament, may the Almighty resolve it for us and for her. Yakub, please have patience. It is very painful. But this does not mean severing your relationship with your daughter. She is your eldest daughter, and everyone knows that since her childhood, nothing bad was ever found against her until now in her adulthood. I seek God's forgiveness; currently, Umm-e-Rooman is thirty-two years old. Please do not let this cause problems between her and her siblings. For God's sake, do not let this ruin her name within our family. If this continues to be exposed, how do you think Mariyah will feel? She who gave birth to her daughter. I see the tears on her face; please let us put this away and seek the help of the Almighty. I will take her with me, because even if I leave her here, she will continue to face hostility."
The parlor fell completely silent because everyone knew Baffa Chindo was the elder in the house, which was why no one argued with him or interrupted him. I was cowering by his side as tears streamed down my face. He patted my head and looked at their father.
"Have patience, Alhaji," he said in a soft voice, standing up and adding, "Let's go! When Bintu and her group finish, they can follow Shahid, and you, go gather your things."
With that, he headed outside. Slowly, I stood up, limping. No one raised their head to look at me as I went inside the house. Upon entering, I found Yadiko Salamatu packing away the food items meant for the wedding that had just been canceled. With my head bowed, as I was about to pass, she said to me:
"You haven't cried enough yet, because I want you to spend your life without any man ever coming near you. I want your sorrow to kill your mother. I have seen Alhaji Babba banish you from our family."
Slowly, I went in to see my mother (Inna), who had been hearing everything that was happening.
"Inna, by Allah..." She smiled and said to me:
"Who told you I don't believe you? I know Allah is with us. Learn to be patient; one day this will just be a story." I went and collapsed into her arms, sobbing heavily. She rubbed my back as my younger siblings slowly entered and stood there, feeling bad.
"Addah Rooman! Baffa is waiting for you," Abdul Malik said with a stern expression, looking angry about what had supposedly happened.
"Abdul, who are you speaking to like that?" Inna asked him.
"No, Inna. Surely, with every hardship comes ease," I told her.
"Hmm," she said.
Slowly, I entered my room, picked up my things, and came out. Shamsudeen took the bag while looking at me, as he was my third younger sibling. He spoke to me quietly:
"There is a problem tracking you. I don't want to tell people so they won't think I'm lying or just trying to defend you. But there is a problem tied to your life." I looked at him, my lips trembling, and said, "Deen, what is it?"
"Be patient, I will come to Yola, Insha Allah." I nodded, looking at her.
"I believe you. I know you would never ruin the upbringing Inna gave you, but keep praying."
"Thank you very much." He escorted me out, where I found Baffa standing and waiting for me, surrounded by his younger brothers and sisters chatting with him, since he rarely stayed around. We stopped, and he looked at us, then said to me:
"Come and get in."
Deen opened the car boot and put my bags inside. I went into the car and sat down.
"Hamma Chindo, you forbid us from speaking about your daughter when everyone knows what she committed?"
He smiled, looked at them, and said:
"Well, what can I do? Whenever I look at her, I feel as though Babangida is still alive. When I look at her, I feel like Babangida will return because of her. That is why to this day I want her to stay in my house. Because whenever Babangida returns, just as he said, he has no wife other than Umm-e-Rooman."
"May God reveal his whereabouts," said Alhaji Yakub, Rooman's father.
They offered him prayers, and he sat in the back of the car where I was seated. His driver started the car. It was only when I turned around to look at our house that a burst of crying overcame me, and I buried my head in my lap. He did not stop me from crying, nor did he feel inclined to speak to me, for he knew I deeply needed to cry. Therefore, he told the driver:
"Play a recitation of the Holy Quran for us."
"Ok sir." And so he did. I cried until I swallowed my tears and began following the recitation. He smiled and picked up his newspaper.

Part 3: Family Strife and Revelations

After Umm-e-Rooman left, her father went inside the house, sat in his parlor, and lowered his head. He then stood up and headed to the parlor of Umm-e-Rooman’s mother. He looked at her and saw her scolding Umm-e-Rooman’s younger sisters, saying:
"You did not do right. How can we turn our backs on your sister? Which of you hasn’t benefited from her? All of you have benefited from her immensely. What did she do that was so terrible that you turned your backs on her? Do you know that it is me you have humiliated, not her? Truly, I am deeply hurt by what you did to her. Out of all of you, only Deen cared about her? Yet whenever any of you had a problem, she was the one you called."
"Mariyah, I don't want this. On what grounds are you confronting the children and scolding them? Who sent her to engage in foolishness? I don't want this. Everyone, get up and go to your rooms. If I hear anyone call Rooman again, I will deal with them," said Alhaji Yakub.
In utter shock and amazement, Inna looked at him.
"Why would you separate my children from me? By Allah, it will not happen! And if I hear that no one called her, by Allah, I will deal with you all!" In over thirty-six years of marriage, they had never bickered; she was inherently a patient and calm woman, yet today she spoke like this. Surely, her love for Umm-e-Rooman was immense.
"Mariyah!" he called her name in shock. "Do you mean to say I cannot discipline my children when they offend me?"
She looked at him and said, "I haven't stopped you. But this is the fifth marriage that has been canceled over Rooman! Have you ever asked her what is wrong with her? Why does this happen? A girl who went to university and never brought home shame, only now regarding her marriage?" she said amid tears and shouting.
"But I saw her with my own eyes on the outskirts of town, acting wildly. Not just me—Rabi'u saw her with his own eyes! He saw her among men, dancing, and when he spoke to her, she insulted him. Everything you feel, I feel even more. Which of my children received the love I gave to Umm-e-Rooman? None. I loved that girl from the day she was born until today. Earlier I was beating her, but my heart was weeping tears. She was crying out for mercy, but I was the one crying inside. If God hadn't given us Chindo as our elder brother, what do you think would have happened? Please do not distress me."
... Yadiko Salamatu scoffed, feeling bitter about how things turned out. She had expected them to have a massive fight over Umm-e-Rooman, but she saw the opposite. She returned to her room where her daughters were seated, gossiping about Umm-e-Rooman and their mother.
"Even Annur told me he once saw her at a club. When he spoke to her, she ignored him and kept behaving indecently," said one of the young women.
The eldest among them pouted and said, "Hmm! Falisat, what brought your husband to a club in the first place?" Falisat widened her eyes and said, "Addah Munnah, what is that supposed to mean? He was just passing by and saw her!"
"Look, everyone has their faults, and if we are going to continue holding a grudge against Addah Rooman, it's unfair. Fear Allah, truly! There is something happening to her; she wouldn't just be in this terrible state for no reason. Whatever a person does, they should remember God. Yadiko, I hear you telling Addah Rooman that her marriage will only happen in the hereafter? All of us, your children, are married. What more do you need in this world? Our husbands are well-off. What do you want now? Rooman has done nothing to you, and neither has their mother. In fact, despite how much you hate her, she doesn’t hate you back, Mother!"
"Munnah!!!" she barked at her...
(Author's Note: This is a true life story... The problem doesn't stop with young girls; even married women suffer from it... Junnul Ashiq (the Lover Jinn/Possession) is real! Witchcraft isn't absent; it exists in society today...)

Part 4: Paranormal Affliction in Yola

I stretched, widening my large eyes, and let out a soft hiss because I was completely exhausted. I looked at the henna on my hands, feeling an increasing weight of distress in my heart. Slowly, I headed to the bathroom, feeling like screaming out loud. Once inside, I suddenly felt completely paralyzed and unable to do anything; a deep lethargy washed over me because I had neglected to recite the bathroom-entry supplication. I spent an hour in there, pondering over things I didn't understand about myself.
Dragging myself forward, I bathed, refreshed my body, and performed ablutions as I heard the call to prayer. Slowly, I emerged and spread my prayer mat. I opened my bag, pulled out my long prayer jallabiyah, put it on, took my prayer beads, and began praying. Upon finishing, I sat down to supplicate, but a heavy, lazy sleep forced me to lie down right on the prayer mat while mentioning Allah's name, and sleep overtook me.
I was running frantically through a thick forest, barely escaping the dense brush before reaching the edge of a body of water. I wanted to plunge in as I heard the thudding hooves of cattle pursuing me. Turning around, I saw a woman I frequently see in my dreams, her face shrouded in a veil. She reached out her hand to grab me, and suddenly I felt myself lifted into the air. Terrified, I snapped my eyes open, noticing how freezing cold my room had become, making me shiver. I dragged myself from the prayer mat to the bed and pulled up the blanket.
I was sobbing heavily because of what was being forced upon my body. In the past, it was just a dream, but now, in reality, I felt as though someone was trying to have sex with me. However, whenever this happened, actual intercourse never took place; instead, I would just be groped and pawed violently.
"Ya Wadud, Ya Zul-Arshil Majeed, Ya Fa'allu Lima Yurid..." My mouth felt incredibly heavy due to the violent sensation, as if I were being beaten, which prompted me to recite Ayat al-Kursi to the very end before finding some relief. Throughout this ordeal, my eyes remained shut; no matter how hard I tried to open them, I couldn't. Gradually, my eyes cracked open, and I looked sideways. Before closing them again to stand up, I found myself unable to move.
"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!" Terrified, I tilted my head back and stared upward. I let out a sharp gasp, freezing as I stared at a woman with wild, unkempt, bushy hair that completely obscured her face.
"Rooman! Who will erase you from our ledger of torment? Who will lift the veil of agony we have prepared for you? Truly, we need you among us. You belong to us forever, and you will never escape us."
She reached out her hand to touch me while I stared at her, trying to move but paralyzed. Just then, Mama walked in to speak to me, and I opened my eyes. She saw me staring fixedly at the ceiling as if I had fainted, and she quickly called Shahid and Fanan. They rushed to my side, and Fanan shook me, crying out:
"Oh dear, is this a dream or reality? Look, she's completely stiff!"
Shahid quickly cradled my head and lifted me up. I took a deep breath and burst into tears, collapsing against his chest.
"For God's sake, hide me, they are coming!"
"Addah Rooman! What happened?" he asked me.
"It's a woman..." My mouth locked up, rendering me unable to speak, as the entity stepped forward and whispered:
"You will not speak. We do not want them to remember anything that will help your life. You belong to us. From the moment I saw you, I fell in love with you. Therefore, you must remain silent, because we don't want anyone to remember what binds us to you."
"Oh my God, please hide me, don't let her touch me!" I screamed out violently as she touched me, turning limp in his arms like a piece of raw meat. He lifted my head and looked at his mother.
"She has fainted!"
"What should we do?"
"Pour water on her." Fanan quickly ran out and returned with water, which they splashed on me. I opened my eyes, drawing a deep breath, looked at them, and quickly pulled away from him, glaring at him.
"I don't tolerate any nonsense, what is this?" Naturally, he and I rarely got along.
"Look at you, you were sick and screaming, and we were only trying to help you!"
"Me? I am perfectly fine. Are you guys starting to see things?" I asked them.
"But—"
"No!" Mama stopped Hisham, who had been watching us silently since the episode began.
"Nothing happened. Your phone was switched off, and Mariyah wanted to speak with you." I nodded, adjusted my posture in the middle of the bed, and watched them as everyone walked out, looking completely drained.
Mama felt incredibly shaken. As they stepped outside, Hisham said, "But Mama, she is clearly sick."
"Yes, isn't there anything we can do for her?" Fanan added.
Taking their hands, Mama said to them, "No! Let me never hear any of you try to interfere with her life. Allah sees and hears, and He will not leave her like this. That was the mistake Babangida made, and now he is gone without a trace."
Tears rolled down her cheeks. They followed her into her room and asked her what truly happened. She looked at them and said, "It's nothing."
"Mama, you are hiding something from us," Shahid pressed.
"I am hiding nothing from you, please leave me alone!" she barked, dismissing them. As soon as they left, she picked up her phone and dialed Rooman's mother's number. She was told the line was busy, so she waited five minutes and tried again until it connected.
"Hajiya Mariyah!" she called Inna's name sharply.
"Yes, Azeemah," Inna answered softly.
"This girl is sick! I am calling to tell you for the fifth time, your daughter is sick. Ten years ago I told you your daughter is sick and you did nothing, and I am telling you again now. Let me tell you, if you sit back and do nothing, by Allah, her life is in grave danger. You need to know what to do. Allah is with us."
Hearing a movement behind her, she turned around.
"Mama, don't separate me from her! If you dare try to do anything to come between us, we will kiiiiiiiiiiill—" She threw the phone away, shouting the name of God loudly, and the presence vanished. Her children rushed back into the room and found her leaning against her wardrobe, panting heavily.
"Mama, are you okay?" they asked, looking at her. Swallowing her terror, she replied, "It's nothing."

2. Executive Summary

This text is a fictional prose narrative (a Hausa web-novel format written by the author "Mai_Dambu") that blends family drama, cultural expectations of marriage, and supernatural/paranormal horror (specifically dealing with Jinn possession or Junnul Ashiq—the spiritual lover).

• The Prologue/Flashback: The story opens with an unspecified ancestral exodus from Gombe, driven by an unspoken family feud or crisis. During this flight, a young woman named Balaraba elopes with her lover, Hamma Bashir, to prevent family politics from destroying their love.
• The Modern Scandal (2019, Mubi): The timeline shifts to 2019 in Mubi, centering around Umm-e-Rooman, a 32-year-old educated woman whose fifth arranged marriage (to a man named Khamil) has just collapsed. She is falsely accused of aborting pregnancies right before every wedding. Her father violently disciplines her, and her maternal/paternal grandfathers publicly shame her for staining the family's reputation.
• The Family Divide: While her father and aunts condemn her, her mother (Inna/Mariyah), her younger brother (Deen), and her paternal uncle (Baffa Chindo) fiercely defend her innocence. Baffa Chindo reveals that her first suitor, Babangida, disappeared mysteriously years ago, and he decides to take Rooman away to Yola to protect her from the toxic environment.

• The Paranormal Revelation (Yola): In Yola, the narrative reveals the true cause of Rooman's broken marriages and erratic behavior. She is violently possessed by a Junnul Ashiq (a spiritual demonic lover) that takes the form of a veiled, wild-haired woman. This entity physically paralyzes her, subjects her to spiritual sexual assault, alters her consciousness (causing amnesia right after episodes), and threatens anyone (like her aunt Azeemah) who tries to intervene or seek spiritual healing.

  3. Literary and Structural Analysis

  Character Profiles & Dynamics

• Umm-e-Rooman (The Protagonist): A tragic figure caught between societal judgment and spiritual affliction. At 32, her repeated marital failures make her an anomaly in her conservative community, drawing accusations of promiscuity when she is actually a victim of the supernatural.
• The Defenders (Baffa Chindo, Inna, Deen): Represent empathy, logic, and maternal love. Baffa Chindo functions as the voice of authority who stops the domestic abuse and recognizes that the continuous nature of her failed weddings points to an underlying curse rather than malicious intent.

• The Antagonists (Daddy/Yakub, Grandfathers, Yadiko Salamatu): Represent institutional patriarchy and toxic social conditioning where family reputation (bakin fanti) overrides individual well-being. Salamatu represents the malicious envy within polygamous households, actively wishing destruction on Rooman to spite her mother.

  Themes

1. Spiritual Warfare vs. Mental/Physical Health: The core theme focuses on Junnul Ashiq (the Lover Jinn). In Islamic/Hausa metaphysics, this spirit isolates its victim from human partners, causing marriages to fail right at the altar through orchestrated scandals or psychological shifts.
2. Victim Blaming & Domestic Violence: The text highlights how easily conservative structures turn to violence (the father's whipping) and social banishment when a woman's honor is compromised, ignoring historical evidence of her good character.

3. The Mystery of Disappearance: The unresolved fate of her first suitor, Babangida, acts as a structural foreshadowing of the Jinn's lethal protectiveness over Rooman.

   Narrative Style & Formatting

• Dialect and Setting: The text uses standard Northern Nigerian Hausa with strong regional cultural markers (titles like Baffa, Hamma, Yadiko, Inna, and locations like Gombe, Mubi, and Yola).
• Intertextual Commentary: The author breaks the fourth wall at the end of Part 3 to explicitly state that the novel addresses a real-world social issue affecting both single and married women in contemporary society.
