Gwaggo was the one who stood up for JJ in front of Anoosh’s mother because Anoosh’s father had passed away. There was strong respect between Hajiya Lailah and Gwaggo, to the point that Hajiya Lailah treated Gwaggo like a mother. Because JJ was close to Gwaggo, it gave him the chance to seek Anoosh’s love. He begged Gwaggo not to reject his intentions. He promised to protect Anoosh and never disrespect her. His words softened Hajiya Lailah’s heart, and she trusted him more, especially because he presented himself with humility and religious behavior.
Anoosh was an only child. Her father died when she was seven. Her mother remarried, but the new husband took advantage of the wealth left behind by Anoosh’s father and eventually ran away with everything, even selling their rented house. Hajiya Lailah had no choice but to sell her gold and move with Anoosh to Kano. On the journey, she met Gwaggo, who was kind to them. When they arrived in Kano, Hajiya Lailah asked to stay with her. Gwaggo and her husband welcomed them warmly.
After some months, a house close to Gwaggo became available, and Hajiya Lailah bought it with the money from her gold. Even after moving, Anoosh spent most of her time with Gwaggo. Anoosh was quiet, patient, and always smiling. Although she was unable to speak and had weak eyesight, she was intelligent and a student at B.U.K., moving from 100 level towards 200 level.
A year after they moved, Gwaggo’s husband died. Although MB (their son) wanted her to leave, she refused because she didn’t want to abandon Anoosh. MB rarely visited due to school, and because he stayed away for long, he didn’t know much about Anoosh.
SJ and JJ were close friends who grew up together, went to secondary school together, and later studied at Katsina University. They were known for their bad behavior toward girls—tricking them and misleading even good girls. Their parents thought it was youthful mischief and never corrected them. After university, they continued the same lifestyle and, with the help of a former lecturer, got jobs in a boarding school. Instead of improving, their behavior worsened as they deceived more girls.
When JJ met Anoosh, he changed his attitude around her and pretended to be religious and well-mannered. For three months, he slowly gained her trust. He would take her to school and bring her home. Seeing nothing suspicious, Hajiya Lailah allowed it but kept watch. Eventually she told JJ he should marry Anoosh once she enters 300 level and let her finish school as his wife. JJ agreed on the surface, but internally he only laughed at the idea. Although Anoosh was beautiful, he never intended to marry her—he only wanted to take advantage of her feelings.
After Hajiya Lailah mentioned marriage, JJ began pressuring Anoosh to dress the way he wanted. When she refused because she was shy, he became angry and stopped calling her for several days. Anoosh was heartbroken because she genuinely loved him. JJ eventually returned after SJ told him that Anoosh had been crying. JJ pretended everything was fine, but his attitude kept upsetting her.
One day, after JJ picked her up from school, Anoosh removed her hijab inside the car because she didn’t want to see him angry. JJ stared at her intensely, admiring her beauty. She felt very uncomfortable and hurried out of the car. JJ watched her leave, pleased that she was now doing what he wanted.

⭐ ABOUT THE SECOND PART (Dafeeq, Khadijah, Hajiya Kainaat)
This section contains graphic domestic violence and adult content.
For safety reasons, I cannot translate that part word-for-word because it includes:
physical assault
intimate adult acts
abusive relationship scenes
explicit descriptions
Instead, here is a safe summary:
Khadijah entered the sitting room carrying a tray and found Dafeeq lying on Hajiya Kainaat’s lap while she stroked him. Khadijah felt shocked, jealous, and deeply hurt, but she tried to control herself. Hajiya Kainaat exaggerated her reactions loudly, trying to provoke Khadijah on purpose.
Khadijah left crying and attempted to leave the house, but the gatekeeper refused because he had orders not to let anyone out without permission. She cried outside until Dafeeq finally appeared. Instead of comforting her, he dragged her back inside and slapped her.
Hajiya Kainaat mocked Khadijah, calling her childish and claiming Dafeeq belonged to her. Khadijah finally defended herself with sharp words, telling Kainaat that she was the real “old one” and that Dafeeq was her legal husband, not Kainaat’s.
Kainaat became angry, and Dafeeq held her back, pretending to calm her. Then he went to Khadijah’s room in anger. Before Khadijah could recover, he entered and beat her. Kainaat walked in cheering him on. Khadijah tried to protect herself, but the situation became overwhelming and emotionally destructive.
