Rayuwa 017 SPECIAL GUEST
BINTA BINTAAdam spent the night in my room. We talked and cuddled to sleep. He snuck out of the room early in the morning. Something told me he would return.I wasn't used to this kind of lifestyle. The maids had run a bath for me already. There were all kinds of delicious scents, and the water was warm and soothing. I felt like a princess. Deep down, I couldn't believe what was happening in my life. I counted my blessings over and over again and could not believe they were real.My father's death had brought us blessings. People thought life would be difficult for us when he got killed. They speculated my mother would have to remarry to survive, and I would have to be married off so I, too, could survive. The society I lived in believed a woman was not capable of independence. My life was proof that that notion was wrong.People were already anticipating the building of the village school. Fathers were eager to send both male and female children to learn to read and write. Ever
Rayuwa 018 SEEN TRAP
ADAM I couldn't believe what was going on in my home. This man comes with the disguise that he came to settle some unknown difference between himself and my father. We all knew he wanted to be president; to achieve that, he would need my father's approval. But then he shows up with his daughter and niece and imposes them to stay with us for three weeks without prior notice. Binta was so uncomfortable. I could see the fear and concern in her eyes even though she tried to mask it. I needed to talk to her to reassure her she had absolutely nothing to worry about. I had to find out where she was in the palace. I asked some of the maidens, and they said she was in the television room. Ever since Binta discovered television, she had been hooked. She was a breath of fresh air; maybe that was why I loved her so much. She never pretended. She was readable; she had absolutely nothing to hide. Binta was a gentle soul. Easily contented, never greedy, kind, virtuous, and beautiful. She was every
Rayuwa 019 CAT OUT OF BAG
BINTA There it was. The cat was finally out of the bag. I did not expect Adam to do this now. Everyone, including myself, was surprised. Leila ran out, hurting, and her cousin followed her. The Minister's gaze was shooting daggers at me. He was displeased about the situation, but his opinion was irrelevant in the matter. The Sarki was pleased, "well, well, well, my son has finally chosen a bride. You chose well, my son." He said, congratulating Adam. "We will begin to make all the necessary arrangements. Come here, both of you." We walked up to where the King was seated. As we were both about to squat to pay our respects, he stopped us and stood up instead. He hugged his son and hugged me too. Then he blessed us. We had to walk around the room to receive a blessing from the chiefs present. The Minister excused himself. It was clear he was angry. The King winked at me as he secretly mocked the Minister. When the Minister left his room, the King finally spoke up. "That man thought h
Rayuwa 020 OH MY BINTA
ADAM I intended to please her. Every time she moaned, begged, and screamed, I was filled with joy. Her moaning made me hard, and I wanted to take her there and then. She even asked me to, but I had promised not to take her until our wedding night. I intended to keep it, although it would be hard. I had a strong erection that needed handling. Binta was so sweet, warm and fresh. I was enjoying what no man had ever experienced before, and it felt good to know I was her first. I promised myself to make sure I remained her first and only one. She was on fire, and she went wild. As she lost herself, I did too. It was easy. Every part of me wanted to fuck her hard, gentle, and intense and make sweet love to her, but I couldn't. I wanted to feel her. I wanted to be inside of her. I was close to being tempted to damn it and take it all, but I knew better. Binta was perfect for me. She responded to my touch as no other had. I was willing to do anything to please her in and out of bed. Her moa
Rayuwa 021 THIS CAN'T BE
LAILA Why did he do this to me? Adam knew why I had come here. I was sorry. He knew I was sorry, and he still did this. How could he? I have loved him for four years. Those other men meant absolutely nothing to me. I got lonely now and then whenever he was not around me. I always imagined he was the one I was having sex with when I was with other men. I only had sex with them because I missed him and wanted to feel him. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but Adam was too busy to have my time. I was conscientious. I wonder how he ever found out. If he truly loved me, he would have forgiven me. "Why, Zuwaira? Why will Adam do this?" I asked my cousin. "Because he is an asshole," she responded, "you are better than that. You can get yourself a richer, more handsome man that will make him look like nothing. I knew coming here was a bad idea, but you wouldn't listen." "No, Zuwaira! I don't want another; I want ADAM! I want Adam! I need him," and I started to cry. "What should I do, Zuw
Rayuwa 022 JOURNEY INTO THE WILDERNESS 2
SAFIA We got to the forest late in the afternoon. There were birds in the sky, and the breeze at the forest's border was a bit violent, as if we were at the edge of a new dimension. "Can we still go through the forest today?" I asked Mai'Aljanu. He did not answer me. Instead, he alighted his horse and walked toward a tree at the border of the forest. We watched him lean on the tree as if trying to communicate with it. It looked bizarre, but it was Mai'Aljanu; everything was weird. After a few minutes, he came back and mounted his horse. "We ride on. My grandchildren do not have long. If night falls while we are still in the forest, the tree deities promised to protect us." He explained. My legs were killing me. If we were going to ride through that forest, I knew I needed to exercise my body to fix the blood flow to my thighs and legs first, feed and hydrate both myself and my horse, and then continue. "I don't know about you two, but I need to sit, eat and feed my horse," I said
Rayuwa 023 THE DECEITFUL GODS OF THE EVIL FOREST
SAFIA I was shocked to ride into a forest. Aisha and the wizard were waiting for me. "I need to talk to you two." Mai'Aljanu addressed both of us. "This place is treacherous. Everything here gives challenges humans are bound to fail. Do not drink the water, eat the food, follow, converse or trust any creature or being you come in contact with." I began wondering why he was telling us this. After all, we were simply going to mirror his actions and only do what he ordered us to. At least I knew that was what I planned on doing. So why the warning? "Looking at both of you, I can see you are wondering why I am telling you this. It is because the forest is alive, and it would test us individually and together. If we fail, we can't pass through, nor can we leave. If one of us fails, that person can neither pass through nor leave. Do you now understand?" We both nodded. What he told us was simple and clear enough. I immediately started to fear I might not return home. Somehow I began to
Rayuwa 024 THE PLAN
Leila I knew I had work to do. Two weeks was too short a period for me to succeed. Knowing Adam very well, this was something that needed to be done with care. I had to be smart about it. I decided I would support the union, befriend Binta and make Adam trust me again. The only way I could do any real damage was to be close to them. I could see that Adam loved her, and there was absolutely nothing I could do from this distance. Zuwaira had gone to town to find out more information. I set out of my room to look for Adam and apologise for everything and congratulate him on his engagement. I also had to make sure Binta was there when I did this. That was the only way it could work. While looking for them, I learned the two lovebirds were in one of the gazebos in the garden. I set off to find them. A guard tried to block me from entering the garden, but I was able to charm my way through. It made me feel good to know I still had that effect on men. When I saw them, they were both lean
