Sai dana tabbatar Asad da Yasmin da kuma Amira sun zauna properly sannan nima na zauna na saka seat belt na kwantar da kaina na rufe idona, all I can see a idona shine Umar a kwance a kan gadon asibiti thinner than last ganin da nayi masa, na'urori a zagaye da shi. Sai da naji jirgin ya fara tashi sannan na bude ido na ina kallon kasa har muka daga cikin sararin samaniya ina kallon garin kano, and I thought, tabbas abinda na fada gaskiya ne, tabbas rabuwa da Umar itace jarabawa ta ba wai zama da shi ba.
Awa biyu ta kaimu garin addis ababa, Mun tarar da auncle Muhammad da matarsa sun zo airport daukar mu daga nan muka tafi gidan sa inda acan Umma take a lokacin.
Murnar ganin Umma da yanuwana ya saka naji duk tunane tunanen da na kwashe entire journey din ina yi sun dakata, na fara murmushi da dariya tare da karbar kulawa da soyayya daga yanuwana duk da dai ban samu hakan daga gurin mahaifiya ta ba wadda tayi kicin kicin taki kula ni sai Amira taje yiwa magana da kuma su Yasmin.
Na fahimci har yanzu ni mai laifi ce a gurin ta, na fahimci yaki na ba'a cire Umar completely daga zuciyata kawai yake ba, yaki na ya hada da kokarin samun goyon bayan mahaifiya ta. Dan a matsayin ta na uwa ta fushin ta a gare ni masifa ne.
Kwanan mu biyu da zuwa na fahimci target din ta, she was set on making my life miserable maybe a ganin ta hakan ne zai saka in zabi komawa gidan Umar. Duk motsin da nayi sai ta gaya min magana. And I realized ita a gurin ta kamar zinar da Umar yake yi ba wani babban laifi bane ba wanda ya chanchanci a rabu da shi, a ganinta sauke hakkinsa da yake yi a gare ni ya shafe wannan zinar da yake yi. She kept saying
"Mata nawa ne suke neman samun irin naki? Wata matar in dai zata samu miji kamar Umar to babu ruwanta da bin kwakwkwafin sai ta san abinda yake aikatawa kuma ko ta sani ma ba zata daga hankalin ta ba ballantana har ta nemi saki. Bana so inyi miki baki Jidda, amma ina jiye miki irin mijin da zaki aura nan gaba sai kin yi kukan rashin Umar"
And I remembered some of the comments na mutane lokacin da na nemi shawara a social media, I realized ba ita kadai ce take da irin wannan tunanin ba matan mu da yawa na hausawa suna da irin wannan tunanin. Su a ganin su indai miji yana basu ci da sha da sutura shikenan ya gama musu komai, wannan kuma shi yake kara bawa maza masu halin Umar license na cigaba da halin su, matan sun mance cewa aure is beyond wadannan abubuwan, far beyond.
Dan ni dai a yanzu personally I rather marry wanda baya wadata ni da wadannan abubuwan amma zai kiyaye mutuncin sa da nawa a zahiri da kuma badini than to marry mai irin halin Umar, in har rashin wadata ne sai mu hadu mu rufa wa juna asiri, in kuma rowa ce sai in dauke kaina daga abinda kake dashi in nemi na kaina.
Tunda naje ban ma saka layi a waya ta ba saboda ina bukatar quietness and peace, da wayar Umma muke gaisawa da mutanen gida, but ban manta da rashin lafiyar Umar ba kuma ina yi masa addu'a sometimes kuma ina saka yayansa suyi masa addu'a duk sanda suka yi sallah kamar yadda nima har yau ban daina addu'ar zabin alkhairi a rayuwata ba da neman Allah ya sassauta min abinda nake ji a zuciyata ya sanya min nutsuwa.
Satin mu daya a Addis Ababa muka tafi garin Nazret inda nan ne tushen su Umma daga tribe din Oromo anan kusan dukkan yanuwansu suke auncle Muhammad ne kawai da few suke a Addis Ababa suna aikin gwamnati. Sai da na bar inda Umma take sannan na samu nutsuwa na huta da maganganun da take gaya min kullum, sai a lokacin hankali na ya kwanta na fuskanci halin iddar da nake ciki. Wannan yasa sanda Amira zata dawo Addis Ababa sai na hado ta dasu Yasmin ni nayi zamana can gidan auntyn su Umma wadda take a matsayin kamar kakarmu kenan a can. Daga gidan ta kuma sai gidan yarta Nuru wadda take cousin din su Umma kenan kuma tana da yaya da yawa maza da mata ciki har da babban danta mai suna Salem da kuma yarta mai suna Aida da take kusan sa'a ta kuma muka saba da ita, dan haka nafi jin dadin zaman gidan ta
A haka time yayi ta tafiya har na kammala idda ta kuma a lokacin ne muka fara shirye shiryen dawowa Nigeria musamman saboda sakon da aka aiko min dashi daga gurin aiki cewa ana bukatar ko dai in dawo bakin aiki na ko kuma inyi resigning, wanda a gare ni is not an option a yanzu dan ina tsananin buƙatar aikina. Wannan ya sa muka fara shirin dawowa gida.
Now; Tunda muka je na fahimci kudurin da Umma da yanuwanta suke shiryawa, suna so ne su hada aure a tsakanin mu mu yan Nijeriya da kuma yanuwan mu da suke Ethiopia dan su karfafa zumuncin tsakanin su.
"Idan ba'a samu auratayya ba duk ranar da mu iyayen muka mutu to yayan mu ba zasu yi zumunci ba"
Wannan burin nasu sun dora shine akan Amira, inda suka samo mata responsible samari har guda biyu, daya cousin din su ne mai suna Djimon (pronounced as Jah-moh) sai kuma Salem dan Aunty Nuru. Daga baya kuma sai wani family friend a Addis Ababa shima ya fara nemanta. Sai dai kuma inda aka samu matsalar shine ita hankalinta yafi karkatuwa akan shi family friend din su kuma su Umma sunfi son dan uwa dan dama saboda zumunci suke son hadin. Wannan yasa Amira a tsaka mai wuya, ni kuma na bata shawarar neman zabin Allah duk da nima nafi son ta da Salem dan na yaba da tsarin sa da yanayin sa, kar kuma ma ayi zancen kyau dan dama mutanen Ethiopia duk duniya ta shaida baiwar kyawun halitta da suke da ita mazan su da matan su.
Sai bayan da na gama idda ne sannan maganar mutuwar aure na ta fara fita a cikin yan'uwa, da yake tun zuwan mu kadan ne suka sani, sai nan da nan cousins din Umma suka fara mata suggesting "ga Jidda nan itama? Ba sai a gwada duk biyun ba mu ga wadda Allah zai tabbatar mana?" Inji Aunty Nyala matar auncle Muhammad da tazo ta tarar muna ta shirye-shiryen kayan mu.
Na rufe ido na ina ambaton Allah a raina da fatan kar idea din ta shiga kan Umma sai kuwa naji tace "wacce Jidda? Rufa min asiri. Indai wannan yarinyar ce ba za'a gyara zumunci da ita ba sai dai a kara bata shi, wanda ta aura ma tana son sa yana sonta ta matsa ya sake ta saboda kaddarar da Allah ya dora masa ballantana wanda aka hada su? Ai ina jin in an hada da ita ko shiga yayi wadda bata yi mata ba cewa zata yi sai ya sake ta"
Na ajiye kayan hannuna ina jin hawaye yana taruwa a gefen idona. Sai ta fara bawa Aunty Nyala labarin irin soyayya da kuma kulawar da Umar yake yi min amma na guje shi, sai kuma ta rufe laifinsa ta kira abinda yake yi da sunan kaddara.

Idan har zinace zinacen da Umar yayi shekara da shekaru yana yi mai yasa a shariance za'a jefe shi da ransa a musulunce?
Life is all about the choices we make. Shine ake kira da jarabawa. Allah zai jarabce ka da son abun wani dan yaga zaka sata ko kuma zaka fi karfin zuciyarka. In case of Umar kuma jarabawar sa shine sha'awar mata, dan Allah ya ga zai iya daurewa yaci jarabawar sa ko kuma zai bi bodily cravings dinsa ya fadi jarabawar? And he chose to fail, his choice, babu ruwan Allah, babu ruwan shaidan, babu ruwan kaddara.
