NIDA ABOKIN BABANA Complete Hausa Novel Document by NIDA ABOKIN BABANA

I quietly entered my Daddy's room, the room was decorated with soft Indian hand-woven carpets, the color of the furniture was liver, as was the furniture in the room. I slowly sat down next to him, watching him skillfully operate the laptop in his hand, seeing that he had no intention of returning his attention to me, I knew that when he was working, he would not pay attention to anyone, even me, in front of him until he was finished. I took the remote and changed the channel from sports to Zee World. I even forgot that day that the show I was watching, Love Look Like What You Made Me Do, was on. I smiled and said woah, I even forgot about that show. Daddy glanced at where I was sitting before turning his attention to his laptop. In short, when the show ended and the commercials started, Daddy did not finish what he was doing. Soon I felt myself start to yawn, I took the remote and turned back to the channel he was watching and stood up, just as he closed his laptop and looked at me with concern. "Mom, what happened?" His mother's name is for me, that's why he calls me Uma, they call me Mommy or Ummi. I put my mouth inside a little bit, I said "I feel sleepy..... See you in the morning!" He laughed and grabbed my hand and held it and pulled me closer to him and I sat down and put my mouth inside more. He pulled me a little, "ohhh I'm sooooo sorry princess, did I stop you? There's important information I'm sending now, that's why, be patient. Tomorrow we're going to have ice cream with my princess, are we good now?" I turned my head away from him, he made my hand turn my face to him, "hey, I'm trying to pay for what I did, aren't we good yet?" I don't know when I laughed, seeing the way he looked at his face, I love my father more than you think because he loves me so much, the love he has for me is unmatched by any mother who gave birth to me. I don't know if that has anything to do with the fact that I'm their only daughter??. I shook my head and smiled a little, "I understand, I'm sorry, but we will also go for shopping, agree??" He nodded, yes. I stood up and said, "Good morning, Daddy." He smiled, "Get up and be well, Mother."
