Erotis Ideas Book Complete Book By Maman Shakur

Description

Abdul remained silent and did not say another word to him until he drove him to a nearby hospital, where the injury on his neck was treated. Abdul paid for all the medical expenses. Afterward, they returned to the vehicle, and he started the engine to drive off. After driving for a short distance, Abdul pulled over to the side of the road, parked, and turned off the engine. He looked over at Bash, who had closed his eyes and remained completely silent today.
Placing a comforting hand on Bash's shoulder and squeezing it gently, Abdul began to speak calmly. "Look here, Bash, I am not trying to trample on your rights or anything. But I want you to think twice about your declaration to separate from Asiya and end your marriage. You have three very young children together, for that matter. Do you honestly think there is any other woman you could marry in this world who would look after those children with pure sincerity and devotion as their own mother would? See, a mother is a mother, regardless of her flaws. Just calm down, think this through, and find the best solution. I am your friend and I love you; I will always want the best for you, and I do not want to see the lives of those little kids ruined, you hear me, Bash?"
Bash opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at him. He opened his mouth to speak, but a sudden lump formed in his throat. Before he knew it, a heavy stream of tears cascaded down his face. He quickly raised the back of his hand to wipe them away. Abdul did not say anything else; he simply kept tapping his shoulder to signal that it was okay and to comfort him. It took almost five minutes of silent weeping before Bash managed to control his tears with great effort.
Abdul handed him a handkerchief. Bash took it, thoroughly wiped his face, and then, in a faint, weak voice filled with profound sorrow and distress, he said, "I will take another wife, Abdul."
Abdul nodded his head in full support, and Bash continued. "I do not want to continue living like this. The bitterness and misery from Asiya are driving me toward sinning against God. It is much better for me to marry again—to marry someone who actually loves me, recognizes my worth, and values my presence. As for Asiya, I have changed my mind about divorcing her for the sake of Hydar and the others. But by God, aside from the children, I will permanently banish her back to her parents' house."
Abdul asked softly, "Do you already have someone in mind to marry?"
Bash nodded and replied, "Yes, I do."
"Then it is settled. Within this week, we will go visit her parents, and you can begin renovating the other side of your house so you can settle her there." Bash nodded in agreement, and they started the car.
They parked the car and walked out toward Abdul’s apartment. There, Bash saw his children jumping around the living room while watching cartoons, having just returned from Islamic school (Islamic school/Madrasah). The moment they spotted him, they rushed toward him, shouting, "Daddy, welcome back!" He embraced them all with a warm smile.
Just then, Abdul's wife stepped out of the kitchen, which she had entered to tidy up. As soon as Abdul saw her, he said, "Call Asiya out for me."
She hesitated for a moment and just stood there looking at him. This prompted Bash to look up at her as well, scoffing slightly because he already anticipated what she was about to say. Abdul asked, "Why are you just standing there staring at me?"
She replied softly, "I tried my absolute best to stop her, but she refused to listen and left for her parents' house."
Abdul turned to look at Bash, who intentionally looked away as if he were completely unfazed by the news. Bash stood up and said, "Come on, children, let's go to Grandma's house."
Hearing "Grandma," the children erupted into joyful cheers. He turned to Abdul, who was watching him intently, and said, "Get up, let's go." Abdul stood up without a word, and they all exited the room. Abdul grabbed the packages containing the women's apparel from Manzil that he had purchased for his own wife, placing them into his car's trunk. Abdul and his wife got into their car, while Bash and his children climbed into his vehicle and drove straight to his mother’s residence, located near Governor Road.
Before Bash could even finish parking, his son Hydar opened the car door and almost tumbled out. Left with no choice, Bash turned off the ignition, and they all piled out of the vehicle. Once he properly parked, he headed into the house. Sending out a peaceful greeting (sallama), he entered the living room. He found his mother sitting on the carpet on the floor, completely surrounded by the children who were clinging to her and chattering away as she playfully indulged them.
Upon seeing her son Bashir enter and take a seat to watch them, she fixed her gaze on him. She immediately detected the deep distress weighing on him, especially judging by the appearance of his eyes. The moment she noticed the bandage wrapped around his neck, she quickly pushed the children aside and called out frantically to her housemaid. "Where is the Indomie noodles that these children said they wanted? Goodness, a single minute is more than enough to finish cooking Indomie!"
From the kitchen, the maid called back, "I am finishing it right this second, Hajiya."
The mother picked up the remote control, put on a cartoon for the kids, and said, "Move aside for a moment, I'll be right back. Let me go speak with your father." After raising them up, she stood up, looked at Bashir, and commanded, "Meet me in my room," before leading the way.
He slowly rose from the couch and followed her inside. He opened her bedroom door gently, gave a sallama, and entered. He found her standing, scanning him thoroughly from head to toe before she pointed her hand toward her bed. With an expression devoid of any amusement, she said, "Sit here." He walked over and sat at the edge of the bed, his heart hammering in fear.
She stepped closer to him and reached her hand toward his neck. He winced and contorted his face, crying out, "Ahhh! Mom, what is this? Stop!"
Ignoring his protests, she completely unraveled the bandage. She then lifted her head, looked him dead in the eye, and demanded, "Who did this to you?"
Bashir remained silent, staring at her and unable to utter a word. His mother was a stern, no-nonsense woman who never played around with her children; furthermore, she loved him fiercely and deeply. He knew that if he told her the truth, she was capable of doing the unthinkable.
She shouted at him fiercely, "I said, who inflicted this neck injury on you, Bashir? Can you not hear me?!"
He murmured softly, "Ahhh, Mom, it's no big deal. I just bumped into..."
"I swear to God, if you dare lie to me right here, I will slap you across the face! Give me an answer: who injured your neck like this?!" Seeing how incredibly enraged and fuming she was, he gently took her hand and said, "Mom, please calm down. It isn't a severe injury."
She screamed back at him, "Do not tell me to calm down! How can I calm down when someone is actively trying to kill my son?! Look at your neck! If any major neck vein had been hit, you would have bled out and died, leaving me devastated and empty! Who inflicted this injury on you?!"
He fell silent, completely unable to answer her. No matter what transpired between him and Asiya, he never wanted his mother to find out. His mother was a woman who despised anyone who mistreated her children. She would readily fight anyone's father to defend her kids and possessed absolutely no tolerance when it came to their well-being.
"Was it Asiya who did this to you?!"
Hearing her mention Asiya's name, his eyes snapped up, and he quickly said, "Mom, no, it wasn't her."
Without saying another word to him, she turned around, grabbed her phone from the table, and began dialing a number. Seeing this, he stood up immediately and asked, "Mom, who are you calling?"
Without looking at him, she replied, "Asiya's mother."
He quickly reached out, snatched the phone away from her, and pleaded, "Mom, please, what is the point of calling her mother? We already reached an agreement. Besides, I beat her up as well. Please, just forgive and forget, alright?" He spoke as his eyes welled up with tears.
This only heightened her distress; it was glaringly obvious that Asiya had deeply hurt and traumatized her son. Bashir was actually crying. The last time she had seen Bashir cry was when he was a mere child, for he was a strong, stoic man. She slowly returned to the bed, sat down, and motioned for him to sit beside her.
In a gentle, soothing tone, she said, "I do not want you hiding your struggles from me. Tell me everything, Bashir. I am here to listen and to guide you. What is happening in your home?"
Though he initially hesitated, he ultimately confessed everything to her, including his desire to take a second wife.
She nodded in agreement and said, "Since she packed up and left for her parents' house, I swear to God you must not go after her! Furthermore, you must absolutely marry another wife. Who is she to dictate what you can and cannot do? Who does she think she is to take my son for granted just because she sees how much you love her? Go back to that house and pack every single item belonging to those children for me. They will live here in my house until you marry your new wife. Since she cannot properly care for them, I love my grandchildren deeply and I am more than capable of raising them. I will hire a nanny for them tomorrow, and they will be commuting to school from here. Let her dare step foot into this house to see them and see what happens! I will call your paternal uncle (Baffa) the day after tomorrow so they can go formally request Aya's hand in marriage for you. Do not worry, okay? I've got you. Go to your room, take a shower, and I'll have them bring you food to eat right now. Afterward, you can head out and fetch their belongings for me."
He nodded his head, stood up, and walked away. She watched his retreating figure, noting how incredibly gaunt, haggard, and dark his complexion had become, looking nothing like her usual son. Why do women always act so terribly and foolishly the moment they realize their husbands love them unconditionally? she mused.
Only after he had showered, performed his prayers, and eaten his meal did he finally emerge. His mother watched him with a smile, noting that he looked much better and carried a pleasant fragrance, though a lingering trace of melancholy still hung over him. He picked up his car keys and said, "Bye, Mom."
"May you return safely."
He drove directly to his house. He thoroughly packed up all the children's clothing and belongings, walked outside, and handed his security guard a two-thousand Naira note. He instructed the guard to take a motorcycle taxi (okada) to his mother's house to inform her that he had been called back to the hospital urgently and had to leave. The guard accepted the money with gratitude, and Bashir locked up the house, climbed back into his vehicle, and drove over to his other house.
He parked in the compound and exited the vehicle. Opening the trunk, he gathered the packages of Manzil clothing and walked inside at a slow pace. Even before opening the living room door, the incredibly delightful scent of traditional incense (turaren wuta) wafted into his senses. He unlocked the door, stepped inside, and closed his eyes to inhale the wonderful, welcoming aroma.
Slowly climbing the stairs, he opened his bedroom door and walked in. He found Aya sitting on the bed with earpieces plugged into her ears, watching an American movie on her laptop with her back turned to the door. He observed her quietly. She was dressed in blue denim shorts that stopped right at her thighs, paired with an armless top that left her entire back completely bare. Her braided hair was pulled up, and she held a bowl of popcorn in her hand, munching away.
Sensing that someone was watching her, she pulled out her earpieces and spun around. Her eyes locked directly with Bash's, who stood there holding the shopping bags. A rush of pure joy washed over her. Without a second thought, a dazzling smile erupted across her face; she pushed the bowl of popcorn aside—causing it to spill all over the bed—and bounded off the bed in pure excitement. She jumped into his arms, wrapping herself tightly around him.
"Welcome back, Baby! I missed you so much, I swear it feels like a whole year since I last saw you!" she squealed, tightening her embrace.
This was the exact dream he had always envisioned: to return home and have his wife show genuine happiness at his arrival. In stark contrast, Asiya would only ever show resentment, acting as if his return was an annoyance that interrupted whatever television program she was watching. Looking at Aya, he could feel the raw, genuine happiness radiating from her heart. Noticing that he was completely still and hadn't wrapped his arms back around her, she pulled her head back to look at him. As their eyes met, she opened her mouth to speak, but her gaze immediately landed on the bandage wrapped around his neck.
With sudden panic, she reached out her hand to touch it, asking, "What happened to your neck?"
He caught her hand and said, "Nothing to worry about. I had a minor accident at the hospital, but it's completely fine now." Before she could press further, he interjected, "Look, you spilled your popcorn. Go clean it up."
She turned around with a smile and said, "It's only because I was so thrilled to see you that I dropped it." She walked over and began gathering the spilled popcorn back into the bowl.
Standing behind her and watching her, he said, "I am so sorry for leaving you starving without bringing you any food."
Hearing the deep worry in his voice, she stopped what she was doing, turned around, and immediately melted back into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "Hey, don't apologize! When I didn't see you return, I knew something must have held you up, perhaps at the clinic. When I started getting hungry—since you forbade me from going outside—I simply took some money from my bag, went downstairs, and gave it to the gatekeeper. He went to an eatery and bought me food and popcorn. I even kept a takeaway pack aside for you, just in case you returned home hungry."
In a soft, low voice, he asked while looking at her, "How much did you spend?"
Without a moment's hesitation, she replied, "I gave him 8,000 Naira. He spent 7,200 and brought back the change, but I told him to keep it."
He reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet, and began counting out some cash. She quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
He counted out exactly 8,000 Naira, took her hand, pressed the money into her palm, and said, "My woman cannot feed herself while living under my roof. That is my responsibility. I am sorry for leaving you hungry. This is for you; now let me take a shower." He pointed toward the shopping bags he had placed on the floor and walked into the bathroom, leaving her standing there slack-jawed with amazement, staring at the cash in her hand.
Only after the bathroom door clicked shut did a beautiful smile spread across her face as she looked at the money, her affection for him deepening. Bash is a real man—a true provider, she thought. Just because she bought food, he insisted on reimbursing her because he believed it wasn't her financial duty. She simply smiled, tucked the money into her bag, and walked over to open the shopping bags. Finding an assortment of premium Manzil clothing—including items she knew she couldn't afford on her own—she let out a wild scream of pure joy, dancing around happily.
Hearing the scream, Bash quickly popped the bathroom door open. Seeing her clutching the Manzil clothes, dancing, and bursting with joy, a genuine, beautiful smile washed over his face for the first time in ages. He smiled, closed the door, and went back to his shower. Once he finished, he stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist. She immediately lunged forward, threw herself into his arms, and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you, thank you! I really love them, thank you so much."
He nodded his head and said, "You're welcome."
In a gentle voice, she asked, "Will you eat some food? Should I bring it up for you?"
He shook his head. "No, I already ate at Mom's house. Just get me some water."
She let go of him and bolted out of the room in sheer excitement; he could clearly see how ecstatic she was. These women's clothes brought her so much happiness. In contrast, even when he had bought Asiya a brand-new luxury car, she had never shown this level of appreciation or joy. If nothing else, Aya truly deserved him. He slowly sat down on the bed.
It didn't take long before she returned carrying a tray with a bottled water and a cup, sporting a bright smile. He watched her carry the water on the tray, deeply impressed, as he was completely unaccustomed to receiving such hospitality in his own home. She poured the water into the glass cup and handed it to him. He accepted it, looking at her face, and said, "Thank you." She nodded, and he drank it all before handing the cup back.
She asked, "Should I pour more?"
"No, I'm fine. Set the cup down and come here," he said, extending his hand to invite her over.
She quickly set the cup aside, took his hand, and climbed onto the bed. He pulled her close against him as he sat, pulling the duvet over both of them to shield against the cold air from the AC. He turned off the room lights, unplugged the earpieces from her laptop, pressed play, and said, "Let's watch your movie." She nodded, snuggling into his chest, and they continued watching the film.
They had been lying like that for almost ten minutes when he noticed she was deeply engrossed in the movie. Slowly, he slid the ring off his own finger, gently took her hand, and began sliding it onto her finger. In a low, soft whisper, he murmured, "Aya."
With her attention entirely fixed on the screen, she murmured back, "Uh-huh?"
He smiled, realizing she hadn't yet registered what he was doing. In a deeply tender tone, he said, "Will you marry me, Aya?"
She froze instantly, her eyes wide as her heart began to hammer wildly. Only then did she notice his ring sitting on her finger. Seeing that she was completely paralyzed and unable to speak, he gently stroked the ring on her finger and added, "I'm sorry I couldn't get you a proper engagement ring; this one is mine. But I promise to get you one. Aya, will you marry your Dr. Bashir?"
In her entire life, she never imagined she would ever hear a man speak such words to her. She knew deep down that she had always desperately wanted Bashir to marry her, but she had never allowed herself to believe it would actually happen. She had noticed that he didn't seem to want a polygamous lifestyle or to bring a co-wife home to his first wife. She had resigned herself to merely being his mistress, never expecting that Dr. Bashir would give a prostitute like her a chance to renew her path, to change, and to become a respected housewife like any other married woman.
She felt his warm hand on her face, gently wiping away the tears that had begun to fall. In a husky voice, he said, "Hey, don't cry. Will you marry me? You haven't given me an answer. Or are you refusing to marry me?"
She burst into an intense, heavy sob, burying her face into his chest. He held and rocked her gently for about three minutes before she finally pulled back. Slowly, she reached out, slid the ring off her finger, placed it back into his hand, and closed his fingers over it.
In a trembling, tear-choked voice, she said, "Bashir, I know I have begged you countless times in the past to marry me. But today, now that you are finally asking for my hand in marriage, I realize I just can't do it. I cannot deceive you. Bash, you know me on the surface, but you don't know who I truly am. You don't know my past; you don't know my history. Bashir, God knows that I have harbored a fierce, pure, and untainted love for you from the very first day I laid eyes on you. And it is because of that very love that I realize a good man like you does not deserve a woman like me. Because of my love for you, I know that you deserve a calm, God-fearing, gentle, and virtuous lady who has no dark past or history. Bashir, you are a kind-hearted soul and you deserve the best of women, not a prostitu—"
He quickly placed his hand over her mouth, hushing her firmly. "Don't you dare call yourself by that name!"
She pulled his hand down from her lips, tears streaming freely down her face as she continued, "Yes! The truth is always bitter, but that is the reality. I am a prostitute, Bash; that is what I did to make a living. That was how I sponsored my younger siblings' education. That was how I took care of my father, who is completely blind and suffers from diabetes. On the day my mother suddenly collapsed and died, it was simply because my father didn't have the money for a single hypertension injection to save her life..."
She broke down into an intense, agonizing weep that brought tears to Bashir's own eyes. He had never given Aya the chance to share her life story until today. He never even knew she had lost her mother.
He pulled her into a tight, fierce embrace, whispering softly, "I've got you, Aya. You will never have to return to prostitution to support your family ever again. I am here now, and we will take care of them together. And listen to me: I will never judge you based on your past. Aya, look at me. Everyone has their own destiny and trials in this life. Everyone's life path is mapped out differently by God, and one must go through it. The most important thing is for a person to recognize their wrongdoings and sincerely ask Allah for forgiveness. Allah is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful. Have you never heard the Islamic narration of the prostitute who was granted paradise simply because she showed mercy and gave water to a thirsty dog? No one is perfect. Aya, you are a good girl. Any daughter who is willing to go to any length just to sustain her parents and siblings is a virtuous daughter."
Wiping her tears and sniffing, she asked, "Are you sure?"
He nodded firmly. "Yes, Aya. Any daughter who chose to sacrifice her own dignity and life just to save her parents is a good daughter, and she will never be forsaken by God. Trust me. That is exactly why Allah brought me into your life—to pull you out of that abyss, to protect you, and to shelter you without demanding anything from you in return. Stop crying. I will marry you and keep you in my home, under my protection and care, without ever insulting your past or holding anything against you. Everyone in this life deserves a second chance—everyone! So, will you marry me, Aya?"
This time around, the cry she let out came from the very depths of her soul. She nodded her head, completely choked up and unable to speak, as she lunged forward and clung to him as if someone were trying to tear him away from her. For the very first time, a deep, soothing wave of romantic love for her entered his heart. He took her hand, slid the ring back onto her finger, and returned her embrace tightly. They remained like that for a long time before he lifted her up, wiped away her tears, and pulled her against his side.
In a low voice, he said, "Now, tomorrow morning, I am going to take you back to your hometown. Where is your hometown?"
She replied softly, "Zaria."
He nodded. "I will personally drive you there and hand you over to your father. I want you to stay there and observe your Islamic purification period (istibra' / waiting period to ensure no pregnancy). Within this week, my family members will come to formally request your hand in marriage. Take care of yourself and keep yourself secluded for me, you hear? I don't want you stepping foot outside, not even out the front door."
She whispered, "I would really love to enroll in an Islamic school (islamiyya)."
He paused for a moment before responding, "Once I take you back, I will hire a personal Islamic teacher who will come directly to the house to tutor you and your younger siblings, alright?" She nodded her head, letting out a deep sigh as her crying subsided. He gazed at her before gently cupping her face in his hands, looking into her eyes as she looked into his. He murmured softly, "I love you, Aya."
Hearing those unexpected words of love from him, she felt herself on the verge of crying again. He quickly caught her lips, kissing her deeply while wiping away her fresh tears with his fingers. She began to respond to his kisses eagerly. He reached down to touch her breasts, but she quickly grabbed his hand to stop him. He pulled his hand free and tried to grasp her breasts again, but she firmly resisted.
He released her lips, looked at her, and said, "I need you. I need sex."
She replied softly, "I need you too, I want to sleep with you, but I don't want us to do it."
Looking as though he might cry from frustration, he asked, "Why?"
She answered gently, "I have changed. Let's wait until after we are legally married. Please, Baby, can you do that for me? Support me through my transformation process."
Though he was intensely aroused, her words brought a soothing, respectful calm to his heart. He chuckled and said, "Just so you know, I swear you are going to pay back this accumulated debt on our very first night after marriage!"
She smiled and teased, "Is that so? I can assure you that I am going to make you pay back a heavy debt as well."
"Oh, really?" he replied playfully.
She smiled, "Yes, Dr."
He grabbed her and began tickling her as she burst into laughter. They eventually fell asleep in each other's arms without any physical intimacy taking place. Despite both experiencing an intense mutual desire, they suppressed it for the sake of Allah. Around 10:00 AM the next morning, after eating breakfast, they hit the road and headed toward Zaria.
When they arrived at her family's house, Bashir himself came dangerously close to weeping at the sight, but he hardened his heart and suppressed his emotions. Her father was old and completely blind. She had five younger siblings—three boys and two girls—who looked so malnourished and worn out that one might assume they suffered from a chronic illness. They were naturally beautiful, being of Fulani descent, but extreme hardship had completely masked their features.
Unable to leave them in such an impoverished state, Bashir refused to depart the town until he located and purchased a small, decent house for them. He did not want his own relatives to look down on her family when they visited for the marriage proposal. He moved the entire family into the new house. Her father wept tears of joy, showering Bashir with endless prayers and blessings. Bashir bought them a massive supply of food stocks and provisions, and formally informed her father that his relatives would be coming soon. Her younger siblings were ecstatic, and he gave monetary gifts to all of them.
It was around 5:00 PM when he finally exited the house. He climbed into his car, and Aya sat beside him in the passenger seat. She wiped away the tears pooling in her eyes and said, "Thank you for everything. May Allah reward you abundantly."
He smiled at her and said, "Give me your phone." She handed her phone over to him gently. Right in front of her, he opened it, snapped her SIM cards in half, and then stepped out of the vehicle...

2. Structural & Plot Summary

This text captures a pivotal transition in a modern Hausa domestic drama, focusing heavily on marital breakdown, accountability, structural changes within an elite family, and a story of personal redemption.

• Marital Conflict and Family Intervention: Bash (Dr. Bashir) is deeply unhappy in his marriage to his first wife, Asiya. After receiving medical treatment for a neck injury inflicted during a domestic dispute, his friend Abdul convinces him not to rush into a divorce for the sake of his three young children. However, Bash resolves to take a second wife and emotionally exile Asiya.
• The Mother's Protection: Upon learning that Asiya physically injured her son, Bashir’s formidable mother (Mom / Hajiya) takes absolute control. She forbids Bashir from chasing after Asiya (who has fled to her parents' house), commands him to strip Asiya of custody by moving the children into her residence, and fully sanctions his upcoming polygamous marriage to Aya.
• Redemption and Restructuring: Bashir returns to his second apartment to see his mistress, Aya, a woman from a profoundly impoverished background who resorted to prostitution to support her blind father and five starving siblings. When Bashir proposes, Aya initially refuses out of guilt over her past. Bashir validates her sacrifices, promises a clean slate, and sets boundaries for an honorable marriage.

• Socioeconomic Upliftment: Demonstrating his role as a provider, Bashir cuts off Aya's ties to her past life by driving her to Zaria, purchasing a brand new home for her family, stocking it with provisions, and destroying her old SIM cards to insulate her from her previous lifestyle while they prepare for their legal marriage.
