Na kwankwasa kofar dakin Yaya sannan na tura kofar na shiga.
Yana zaune a tsakiyar dakin akan carpet, Muhaaseen na kwance akan cinyarshi tana yan wasanninta na yara. Laptop dinshi da tarin takardu da jaridu shimfide a gefenshi suna jiran ya karkata hankalinshi garesu. Hankalinshi baya kan su though, kai gabadaya ma baya cikin dakin.

Ko yace ya gaji ne, ko aiki ne ya mishi yawa, ko kuma wani abu dai. Wanda daga ni har shi mun san cewa ba haka bane.
Amma gabadaya yan kwanakin nan naga abubuwan nashi sun fara yin yawa, na kula har wasu dark spots sun fara fito mishi a kasan idanunshi alamun akwai abin da yake matukar damunshi.
Ban ce mishi komi ba, na tura mishi plate din dana shigo dashi. Cikin sanyin jiki ya janyo laptop dinshi ya fara aiki, na kula da yadda hannunshi yake dan yin rawa slightly. Nan ma na kauda kaina. Na dauki inabin tare da kaishi saitin bakinshi. Ya dago kai ya kalleni yayi dan murmushi tare da daga bakinshi ya karbi inabin, sai daya hada da yatsata ya dan ciza.
Da sauri na janye yatsar tare da sakin dan kara a hankali, hakan yasa Muhaaseen dake kan cinyata ta zabura. Nayi saurin fara lallashinta ina hararar shi ta kasan ido, yayi kamar bai san abinda yake faruwa ba, sai dan siririn murmushin daya saki na tsokana.
Ina gama lallaba Muhaaseen tayi barci, na kwantar da ita a cikin crib dinta dake gefen gadon da muke kwanciya. Na sake komawa gefen Yaya na zauna, yana aikinshi ni kuma ina cin abubuwan da na ajiye ina kuma bashi, har muka gama su. Sannan na dauke kayan na kai kicin. Sai dana tsaya na kashe duk wasu abubuwan wuta sannan na wuce dakina, nayi shirin da zanyi na kwanciya sannan na koma dakin Yaya.

Yayi shiru yana kallona cikin tunani. Kai ya girgiza kawai, "I'm sorry baby, maybe next time, amma ba yanzu ba".
Nayi kasa-kasa da ido, "Yaya...!"
Sai dai ban kai ga karasa fadar abinda nayi niyar fada ba, naga ya tashi da sauri kamar wanda aka mintsina yayi hanyar bayi. Na bishi da kallo cike da tsananin mamaki, a hankali wani abu mai kama da takaici ya tsaya min a makoshi. A ganina ina laifin wanda ya damu da damuwarka?
