Masarautar Mu 2 Complete Hausa Novel

<p>He summoned the last bit of courage remaining in him and said in a calm voice, although his voice was always calm:<br>"She is an Asian foreigner, a Jew, and she has agreed to embrace Islam if I marry her."<br>Both the King and Ya Gumsu looked at him in astonishment. The King was speechless as if his mouth had been sewn shut. He sat lifelessly on his throne. Ya Gumsu stood up, pointing at him with her finger, saying,<br>"…You have crossed the line, Prince. You are lying, and you dare to disgrace me before the world and in front of my co-wives who wish for my downfall! Even if there were no women left, I would never approve of this marriage. With my own mouth, I refuse to bless it!!!"</p>
<p>King Yusuf said, "You may leave, Prince. We will deliberate and Waziri will call you with our decision."<br>Ya Gumsu glared at the King as if her eyes would pop out of their sockets. If he had agreed to discuss this matter with Waziri, she knew it was as good as resolved in favor of the Prince. The King never brought matters to Waziri unless he had already decided in his heart. She burst into tears and left the chamber. The Prince stood up to follow her, but the King stopped him, saying, "Let her cool off; she won’t listen to you now."</p>
<p>He sat back down, deflated. King Yusuf seized the opportunity to question him about Rose, how they met, and all the necessary details—except those the Prince deemed inappropriate to share. He ended his explanation by emphasizing that his desire to guide her to Islam was rooted in her virtuous character and that she had shown interest in Islam herself. She was willing to leave everything behind if he would marry her.</p>
<p>Alanguburo understood him because of his humility, but at the same time, he struggled internally to suppress his own ambitions for Prince Sageer, pushing them aside. He convinced himself to let the Prince pursue his own "jihad"—guiding someone to Islam is better than being given red camels, as long as God does not forbid it. Not all dreams we harbor materialize. Some remain only in our imagination, while others God delays until the most suitable time. He dismissed the Prince, telling him to wait for Waziri’s summons after their deliberations the following day.</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Later That Day</strong></p>
<p>King Yusuf and his Waziri, Ibrahim, discussed the Prince’s proposal in their private chamber. Waziri suggested they allow the Prince to marry the woman so they could gain the reward of her conversion to Islam. However, this was on the condition that she must follow him to live with them in the palace as his future role as the crown prince required. He must return home permanently and reside among his family.</p>
<p>When Waziri informed Prince Sageer of their decision, the Prince hesitated. He wasn’t ready to return home just yet. Life in a small town like Askira would suffocate him, and Rose would struggle too, especially with the scorching Maiduguri heat. She had never been to Africa, being a native of South Korea. Her parents worked in Amsterdam. The Prince despised the idea of being a "crown prince," especially since he wasn’t the only male heir. Royal duties didn’t align with his plans at all. He had long embraced an affluent Western lifestyle and distanced himself from his roots—a consequence of his parents’ decision to raise him far from home, thinking it would ground him better. Instead, it alienated him.</p>
<p>Moreover, Sageer had mastered the art of courting women, including those of different faiths. Yet, his outward appearance gave the impression of a saintly figure, thanks to his skill at presenting himself well to his parents. One thing he had never succumbed to, however, was alcohol. He detested it, reasoning that one needed a clear mind to pray properly and punctually. Even cigarettes were a thing of the past from his youthful days.</p>
<p>When he considered the remarkable concession his parents had granted him—allowing him to marry his choice despite the unprecedented nature of it—he realized he had to honor their condition. He asked Waziri for two years to complete his PhD, consolidate his business in Nigeria, and secure a job to sustain himself upon his return. He didn’t want to depend on his father, unlike most royal children. Waziri agreed immediately and granted him the two years to finalize everything.</p>

<p><strong>Two Years Later</strong></p>
<p>Many events unfolded during these two years, mostly fueled by jealousy within the palace between Ya Gumsu and Fulani Bilkisu. Their inability to coexist peacefully often stemmed from Ya Gumsu’s envy of Fulani Bilkisu, particularly due to the King’s evident preference for her—a love that surpassed all the other wives.</p>
<hr>
<p>When Sageer and Rose arrived at the palace with his cousin Awaisu, escorted by guards, Rose wore a long dress and veil, resembling an Arab woman. The news of their arrival spread quickly, sparking chatter among the women of the palace, except in Fulani Bilkisu’s quarters. She supported Sageer’s choice and refrained from criticizing it, as her views often aligned with the King’s.</p>
<p>Rose was lodged under Fulani Bilkisu’s care, and despite the language barrier, the preparations for their wedding proceeded. After two days, Rose embraced Islam, and they were married in a modest ceremony witnessed only by locals and the King’s council. Despite consenting to the union, the King felt an inexplicable sadness about the marriage.</p>
<p>As Sageer started transforming the palace with modern renovations and tall, elegant structures by COSIMCO, the prestige of Askira’s palace soared. Elders prayed for Sageer to return soon and inherit his father’s throne. Little did they know this wasn’t part of Sageer’s plan.</p>
