Joystick hausa novel complete (part 1)
"Come on, Ahmad! You've been at home for a whole week now and haven't even gone to the market. Please, calm your heart and let go of that girl since her parents have refused."
This is Ahmad Dauda, commonly known as Joystick, who was in a difficult situation after being denied the chance to marry his beloved Zainab. For the past five days, he hasn't left his house, staying in his room, filled with sadness. Let me tell you about Ahmad Joystick’s story.
One day, Ahmad came back from the market as usual. He went inside, ate his meal, and rested. Around 4 PM, he got dressed and headed out to meet his friends. Since their place wasn't far, he didn’t take his bike, walking instead and enjoying the sights of the town. It was as if someone told Ahmad to turn around, and when he did, he saw a beautiful woman—light-skinned, the kind of beauty typical of the Fulani people of Adamawa.
She had a long, graceful neck, an attractive face, and a small mouth, with sparkling eyes that caught attention. Her figure was the kind that could impress any man who saw her. She was tall, not too slim, with just the right build. Ahmad Joystick stared at her, not blinking, like someone mesmerized by an idol.
The woman noticed what was happening, smiled, and walked away. It was as if someone had poured cold water on Joystick, and he snapped back, scratched his head, and continued walking. His heart was pounding as he thought to himself, "I can’t let this opportunity pass me by."

The woman, however, was already far ahead. She was a visitor who had come for a wedding. Though she had an incredibly beautiful face, she wasn’t a maiden. Her name was Zainab, from Kundila. The reason she was a widow was that her husband had passed away before they even completed a full year of marriage.
Seeing that the woman had walked too far ahead, Ahmad started walking faster to catch up with her, even though he had dressed up nicely in a freshly pressed traditional outfit. When he got close to her, he greeted her, and she responded, then turned to face him. He smiled at her, and she returned the smile.
“Excuse me, this_beautiful_lady, I have a question_for_you,” Ahmad_said. She replied, "Well, I hope I can answer it." He smiled again and said, "In all my life, I’ve never seen a woman as perfect as you." She said, “Really?” He responded, "Absolutely, no doubt about it. You are beautiful, and you seem like a good person." She thanked him and said, "But I’m in a hurry; what do you need?" Ahmad Joystick replied, "Just your name."
She smiled again and said, "So after all this talk, all you want is my name?" Ahmad said, "Just knowing your name would be a great achievement." She smiled again and said, “My name is Zainab.” Joystick replied, "God, what a beautiful name."
He then asked for another favor, “Are you from around here?” She said, “No, we came here for a wedding, staying with our relatives.” Ahmad then asked for her phone number, so they could keep in touch. Zainab replied, "I don’t give my number to people I don’t know."
Ahmad looked into her eyes and said, "Even if that person is someone who loves you?" Zainab burst into laughter and replied, "Yes." She walked a little further, still smiling. Ahmad realized she was just teasing him, so he ran after her, laughing, and blocked her path again. He said, “I will get your number.” Zainab asked, “What’s your name?” He replied, "Ahmad Joystick."

She smiled and said, "Interesting name." She added, "Okay, give me your phone." He handed it over, and she saved her number in it. They then said goodbye, and he went back the way he had come, forgetting that he was on his way to meet his friends. Realizing he had taken the wrong route, he laughed at himself and went to meet his friends.
When Ahmad arrived, they greeted each other and started chatting, as friends do. While his friends were talking, Ahmad Joystick’s mind was swimming with thoughts of the beautiful Zainab. After Isha prayers, he went back home, finished his tasks, and went to his room to lie down. He took out his phone, intending to call Zainab, but her phone was switched off. He_tried_again, but it_was_still off.
His heart began to race. "Could_it be_that Zainab gave_me a fake_number?" Ahmad wondered. His head started hurting, and he felt a fever coming on. He took some medicine and went to sleep.
The next day, early in the morning, he tried calling again, but her phone was still off. He decided to let it go and headed to his shop at the market. That day, Ahmad Joystick spent his time at the market feeling anxious. He returned home as usual, but that night, her phone was still unreachable. He finally gave up and focused on his work.
A couple of days later, Ahmad was resting in his room, and his sister Maryam brought him his lunch. He took out his phone and said to himself, "If I try her number again and it doesn’t go through, I will delete it." When he called, the phone rang, and someone answered with, “Salam alaikum.” Ahmad’s heart pounded as he replied, “Wa’alaikum salam.”
“Am I speaking to Zainab?” he asked. “Is this Ahmad?” she replied. "Yes, it’s me," he said. Zainab responded, "So you’ve finally decided to call?" Ahmad, almost in tears, said, "Zainab, I swear I love you." Zainab admitted, "Ahmad, ever since we met, I’ve loved you too, but I kept it hidden."

They began a relationship. In the middle of their conversation, Zainab told him, "Ahmad, I’m a widow." Ahmad paused, then said, "Zainab, I love you just the way you are, and I’ll marry you."
After the Asr prayers, Ahmad Joystick headed to Zainab’s neighborhood, Rijiyar Lemo. She had given him directions to her family’s house. It was a nice house, belonging to a family with means. When Ahmad arrived, they smiled at each other, and Zainab came towards him, full of joy and warmth, like someone who had just been given the good news of paradise. They sat together, gazing at each other.
Ahmad, smiling, said, "You look even more beautiful today." Zainab, laughing, said, "And you’ve changed too; you don’t look the same." They held hands and continued their sweet conversation. Their bond grew stronger, and soon they were talking about marriage. But when Zainab’s father met Ahmad Joystick, he refused to give him his daughter.
This left Ahmad stuck at home for days, not even going to the market. But after his father comforted him, he eventually went back to his shop. One day, while Ahmad was at work, Zainab called him. “Ahmad, why have_you stopped_answering my_calls? What did I do to you? I need_to talk to_you.” Ahmad_replied, "I’m_listening."
“You know that my father refused your proposal because you’re still young, and I’m a widow. That’s the reason.”
As soon as he heard this, Ahmad Joystick closed his shop and rushed to Zainab’s house. He greeted her father and said, “Sir, I love her just the way she is, and I will marry her.” Zainab’s father, seeing Ahmad’s sincerity, said, "Alright, I give you Zainab."
Ahmad went home and informed his father. They set a wedding date for Ahmad and Zainab, and the celebrations began. Now, they are living happily together as husband and wife, Ahmad Joystick and his bride, Zainab.
