English Translation

Chapter 1

Ten police officers stood at the edge of the main road, aiming their firearms directly at a small, luxurious black car that cost a fortune. They were waiting for the car to move so they could open fire as ordered by their superior. There was no warmth or mercy on their faces; they were fully prepared to show no leniency to anyone inside the vehicle if they refused to surrender and step out as commanded.

I peered into the car to discover what kind of notorious criminal could warrant such a heavy pursuit, what crime they had committed, and what state of panic they were currently in. Slowly, I peeked through the window.

However, what I saw astonished and bewildered me so much that I had to rub my eyes to ensure I wasn't hallucinating. Peering closer, the sight remained unchanged: a young woman was sitting in the driver's seat. She did not look physically massive; from her seated posture, she appeared to be of moderate height. I could only see the side of her ear, which was exceptionally fair, and her hair by the ear was neatly pressed. She wore black leather gloves, her hair was tied in a donut bun, and she wore a-facing cap. A black nose mask covered her nose, and she wore a long-sleeved black jacket with matching long black trousers. In short, that was all I could see of her attire; even the color of her shoes was invisible.

The person sitting to her left wore similar attire, with one distinct difference: she was shivering, and tears streamed directly from her eyes. She was utterly terrified. In contrast, the driver showed no outward sign of panic—if she felt any anxiety at all, she hid it completely. She was casually listening to music on the car radio, occasionally nodding her head to the beat while gazing at the numerous police officers stationed in front of them.

Terrified, the passenger turned to her companion and said, "BIBA, that's it. We've brought ourselves to a world where we're going to be killed. Oh my God, what miscalculation made me follow you to The Gambia 🇬🇲? That's it, may God have mercy on my soul."

In a soft, captivating voice that remained calm and devoid of panic, Biba replied, "Why do you talk so much, Ummita?" she said, turning her head away.

Bursting into tears, Ummita cried, "Biba, how can you even tell me I talk too much? Don't you see death right in front of us? You insisted this job wouldn't be dangerous, and now look at me facing certain death!"

Biba turned to look at her and said, "Don't worry, Ummita. Life always offers two paths; you have the choice to pick whichever you prefer—either take the good path or the bad one. Well, I, Biba, chose the opposite of good."

Shocked and terrified, Ummita asked, "You mean you chose the bad path?"

Biba offered a smile that, despite being hidden behind a face mask, shone brightly in her eyes. "Including you. That's the path I chose for you." With that, she started the engine and slammed on the accelerator, making the car roar with the sound of a powerful machine. Turning to Ummita, she asked, "Do you know how to swim?"

Ummita quickly shook her head, nervously glancing out at the massive river surrounding them, since the road they were on ran directly over a gigantic water body.

"Fasten your bulletproof vest tightly."

Ummita frantically clutched her bulletproof vest, which she had strapped on securely since their high-speed car chase through town, knowing that with Biba's driving, she might end up flying out the window.

The car emitted a deafening screech accompanied by thick smoke that quickly blanketed the area. Gunfire began raining down onto the vehicle. Before the police could fully process her next move, Biba masterfully maneuvered the steering wheel, intentionally slamming the car hard into a concrete divider by the roadside, shattering the front end. But she didn't care. She threw the car into reverse, slammed on the gas, and plunged straight into the massive river, car and all.

All the security officers rushed toward the riverbank, staring in disbelief. They never anticipated she would drive straight into the water.

The commanding officer kicked a nearby concrete block and cursed, "Oh shit!"

One of the officers asked, "Oga, what should we do now? It looks like she's dead; the car has sunk deep into the water."

Furious, the commander snapped, "Even if she's dead, I want her corpse! I need that girl's body!"

"Oga, since she's dead, why don't we leave her for the fish?"

The commander landed a resounding slap across his face, grabbing him by the collar. "Do you even know what she was carrying? Do you know what was in her hand? Let me tell you: what she has in her hand is more valuable than money, more precious than gold! I want her body retrieved from that water, dead or alive!" he shouted in bitter frustration, shoving the man aside. He knew that capturing this notorious 'Doll' would secure lifelong wealth and prestige for himself and his family. Turning to the remaining subordinates, he ordered, "Go get the crane to winch the car out of the water!"

Respectfully, they saluted him...

Chapter 2

(Title: 🧸 GOLDEN DOLL 🧸 | Story & Writing by JIDDARH UMAR)

Underwater, Biba skillfully removed her bulletproof vest and opened a small bag retrieved from the back seat. She quickly pulled out two underwater breathing apparatuses equipped with small gas containers, along with swimming goggles. She pulled Ummita close, removed her tight bulletproof vest—which was restricting her breathing as water started leaking in—fitted the breathing device over her nose, and secured the oxygen tank. She did the same for herself, grabbed Ummita, and began swimming along the bottom of the river. After swimming underwater for roughly forty minutes from where they had plunged in, they finally surfaced.

By that time, Ummita was gasping for air. She discarded her breathing apparatus and goggles, collapsed onto the ground, caught her breath, and waited to see what would happen next.

Hearing footsteps, she lifted her head and watched Biba walk toward a blue taxi-like car. Biba opened the trunk, took out a large polythene bag, and placed it on top of the car.

The first thing Biba did was remove her facing cap and toss it to the ground. What was revealed beneath it nearly caused me to choke with astonishment: her face was slightly broad rather than long, adorned with large, brilliantly bright, round eyes. Her pupils were pitch black, contrasting with whites as pure and bright as clean milk, enhancing her beauty immensely. Her eyebrows were arched, thick, and perfectly shaped like natural black brushstrokes. Her nose was neither overly long nor short—it sat perfectly on her face. Her lips were soft, smooth, and moderately full, revealing neat, child-like white teeth that were exceptionally captivating. Biba’s face alone was enough to mesmerize anyone into losing focus.

Without hesitation, Biba removed her jacket, revealing a tight white top underneath. Subhanallah! Glory be to God, the Fashioner of all creations. Looking at her full breasts encased in a pink bra, tracing down to her flat stomach that seamlessly merged with her waist, your eyes would catch her small, deeply indented navel adorned with a stunning metal piece—certainly gold, given how it sparkled. Her lower abdomen was completely flat with no bumps, and she removed her shoes and long trousers, leaving only her panties. I can only say that Biba’s hips were moderately proportioned and exceptionally alluring, while her skin was as smooth as polished silk, free of any wrinkles, folds, or blemishes.

Turning around, Biba looked at Ummita, who had stood up to watch her undress. Biba pulled out a fresh set of clothes from the polythene bag and handed them to her. "Change quickly so we can leave this place. Our flight to NIGERIA leaves in twenty minutes!"

Ummita took the clothes, unrolled them, and asked, "Biba, where did you get these clothes?"

Without turning back, Biba replied, "I don't have time to answer that question. Just do as I say if you want to stay alive."

Ummita zipped her mouth shut, swallowing all her questions; she would save them for when they got home.

Both of them dressed in Ankara skirts and blouses paired with traditional 'after-dress' wrappers, topped with large sunglasses that covered half their faces. Their outfits differed from one another.

Biba gathered their discarded clothes, placed them back into the polythene bag, and tied it securely. Then she hastily pulled out the trousers she had taken off, reached into the pocket, extracted a small pouch, and opened it to reveal a tiny Memory Card. She tossed the trousers back into the bag and hurled the entire package deep into the massive river.

They got into the car, with Biba once more taking the driver's seat. Before starting the engine, she reached into her small handbag—the kind trendy young women carry—checked their passports, inserted the memory card into an Android phone, and placed it back in the bag. She threw the car into reverse and sped away, reaching the airport within a ten-minute drive.

After clearing security without incident, they boarded the plane. The moment they felt the aircraft lift off into the sky, they both heaved massive sighs of relief, while Biba tightly clutched the handbag in her hand, praying for a safe flight.

Chapter 3

Around 5:00 PM, their flight landed safely in Abuja.

Upon exiting the airport, Biba paused to inspect the line of parked cars before fixing her gaze on a luxurious vehicle where a young man stood leaning against it. She looked away, hailed a taxi, and Ummita quickly hopped into the passenger side, utterly exhausted.

Just as Biba touched the car door handle to get in, someone grabbed it. She looked up to see who the arrogant person was. Scanning the young man from head to toe, she recognized him as the guy leaning against the luxury car.

He offered a soft smile and said, "Welcome back, Biba."

She attempted to get into the car without uttering a word.

Quickly, he added, "Sorry, I didn't notice you earlier, and Oga said I should pick you up."

Once seated comfortably, Biba turned to look at him. "I don't feel like going to see him right now because I'm exhausted," she said, shutting the car door.

Since the window was rolled down, he pleaded, "Then give me the package to take to him. They are under a lot of pressure; right now, they're gathered and waiting for you."

Biba gave him a chilling glare that made his very bones turn cold. "Even the people who sent you don't have the authority to make me do what I don't want to do, let alone you, their errand boy!" Turning to the driver, she commanded, "Let's go," letting out an audible hiss of annoyance.

Quickly, he called out, "Here is the hotel key where you'll be staying; your room has already been prepared!" But they had already sped off before he could finish his sentence.

Rubbing his head, he wondered how on earth he was going to face the Minister and explain that even he lacked the power to retrieve what Biba held. Truly, Biba was a force to be reckoned with. He got into his car and left the scene.

They checked into a moderately-sized hotel called Majestic, sharing a single room.

Once inside, Biba tossed her handbag onto the bed and said, "Ummita, please order some food; I'm starving. Oh, and make sure to include some clothes for us to wear."

"Aren't we going home today?" Ummita asked.

Biba headed toward the bathroom door, stating, "Not until tomorrow."

Seeing her vanish into the bathroom, Ummita pulled over the handbag, opened it, and found about three phones. She picked one up, opened the back cover, dropped in a sim card, and turned it on. Using their food delivery app, she placed an order for their preferred meals, transferred payment funds, and requested a clothing delivery as well.

Biba spent quite a while in the bathroom before emerging wrapped in a small towel that barely covered her lower body; any slight bend would easily expose her figure. She collapsed onto the bed, pulled a pillow close, and hugged it. Even before Ummita finished her bath, Biba had already fallen fast asleep.

When Ummita stepped out of the bathroom and saw Biba, she shook her head. Biba lived completely carefree; the moment her head hit the pillow, sleep claimed her instantly.

Noticing her phone screen lighting up, Ummita picked it up and held it to her ear. She simply said, "Ok," and hung up. Unbothered about putting on clothes, Ummita walked out of their room wearing only a small towel that fell slightly shorter than her knees.

Although the hotel was decent and populated with guests minding their own businesses, her appearance turned heads wherever she passed. Having lived with Biba, she had naturally learned how to maintain her physique. Unfazed, she went to collect their delivery and returned.

Ummita ate her fill and set aside food for Biba, knowing she hated being disturbed when asleep.

Chapter 4

The next day, they didn't leave the hotel until evening. Abuja traffic during evening hours is notoriously heavy, and today it was worse than usual.

Biba hissed repeatedly, glancing at the taxi driver who had picked them up. "Mister, is something special happening in town today?"

The driver laughed. "Hajiya, surely you haven't heard that we have a very special guest in town today?"

Ummita chimed in, "A special guest, from where? Abuja receives visitors every day, but today's crowd is overwhelming."

"Let me tell you, Hajiya, today the most celebrated Islamic scholar in the entire country is visiting Abuja, and people from all over Nigeria are flocking to attend his public lecture."

"Who is this scholar, anyway?" Ummita asked.

The driver chuckled. "Let me tell you the nickname young people gave him: YOUNG USTAZ."

Biba closed her eyes as an unexpected wave of heart palpitations hit her at the sound of that name. Aside from her initial question to the driver, she remained silent, conversing only with Ummita.

Ummita repeated the name, "Young Ustaz? Instead of Sheikh or Malam someone?"

Smiling, the driver explained, "Because even if you see him, you'll agree 'Young' fits him. He is a youthful young man blessed with immense religious knowledge. Ah, Young Ustaz! No matter how much I describe him, seeing him in person surpasses it all. Make sure to watch television today when his lecture is broadcast; you'll witness pure beauty, elegance, and..."

Biba quickly cut him off, feeling her head spin. "That's enough, Mister. Drop us right here."

The driver pulled over, and they alighted in front of a moderately sized, decently attractive house. A security guard at the gate immediately spotted them, hurried over to open the pedestrian gate, and greeted them respectfully.

The compound featured a spacious parking lot housing three extremely expensive luxury vehicles of different colors.

Biba stood in the corridor waiting for Ummita, who went to retrieve the key hidden under a flowerpot. Ummita unlocked the door, and they went inside.

I dropped my jaw in pure amazement; the interior decor was breathtaking, and a massive fortune had clearly been spent on it. It was shocking to find such an exquisite luxury lounge inside this modest-looking building.

Each of them opened a separate door leading to what was evidently their respective bedrooms.

Biba sat on the edge of the bed, letting out a long sigh. She removed her hair band, allowing her dark hair to cascade freely down to her lower back.

Extracting the second phone from her bag, she inserted the saved SIM card and powered it on. She then pulled open the bedside drawer, drew out a small box, and pulled out a single cigarette. My eyes widened as I waited to see what she would do next.

To my utter surprise, she flicked a small electronic lighter, producing a tiny flame. She placed the cigarette between her lips, expertly took a slow drag, and exhaled smoke gracefully through both her mouth and nose.

Ummita walked into the room, glanced at Biba—showing zero surprise at seeing her smoke—and simply asked, "Biba, are we going out today?"

Before Biba could reply, her phone started ringing. Ignoring the call, she looked at Ummita and said, "We have guests later this evening. Make sure you call Sara to come clean this place because it's dusty, and freshen up yourself."

Ummita nodded, glancing at the phone screen which displayed three missed calls from an unknown number, though Biba made no move to answer. "Alright, Biba. Let me go start getting ready."

Without offering a verbal reply, Biba picked up her phone. As soon as she placed it to her ear, a voice on the other end said, "Haba Biba! You were already making me anxious."

Biba remained silent, puffing calmly on her cigarette and exhaling smoke.

"Biba, did you return safely? I hope the mission was successful?"

"Success is always with Biba," she replied smoothly.

The man chuckled, letting out a relieved sigh because the sound of her soft voice gave him immense pleasure. "Indeed, your words are true, Biba. So, when are we meeting to hand over the package?"

"Ten o'clock tonight, at my house," she said coldly and disconnected the call.

At his end, the man cradled the phone to his chest and closed his eyes in bliss. God knew how deeply he loved Biba, even though he had children older than her and already had two educated, beautiful wives.

Yet, Biba’s beauty was extraordinarily unique. He didn't care about her escort/car-racing lifestyle, her underworld dealings, or her smoking habits. As long as she agreed to marry him...

Summary of the Story

"Yar Tsanar Zinari" (The Golden Doll) by Jiddarh Umar is a thrilling, suspenseful Hausa fiction narrative that blends high-stakes crime, action, and modern romantic drama. The story follows Biba, a daring, enigmatic, and exceptionally beautiful young woman involved in high-profile criminal activities alongside her hesitant companion, Ummita.

The narrative opens with a dramatic police standoff in Gambia, where Biba coolly evades arrest by intentionally driving her luxury car straight into a deep river. Utilizing specialized scuba gear, Biba and Ummita successfully escape underwater and catch a flight back to Abuja, Nigeria. Upon arrival, Biba navigates high-society connections, evades messengers of powerful politicians/ministers who seek a high-value item in her possession (a memory card containing precious data), and settles into a luxurious hideout. The chapter concludes by hinting at Biba's complex entanglements with influential, married men (such as a powerful political or religious figure infatuated with her) and her unapologetic, independent lifestyle defined by smoking, underworld exploits, and unmatched allure.

Analytics of the Text

2. Themes:
   • Crime and Danger vs. Luxury and Wealth.
   • Female autonomy and defiance in a male-dominated criminal/political landscape.

Comments and Critical Review

• Strengths: Jiddarh Umar employs vivid sensory descriptions, particularly in character styling and action sequences (such as the underwater escape). The dialogue is punchy, and the aura surrounding the protagonist (Biba) creates immediate intrigue.
• Critique: The narrative weaves multiple subplots and character perspectives (including excerpts from parallel romance/drama novels provided in the workspace corpus like Aure da Haihuwa and Zafin Wuta). While rich in traditional Hausa romance-publishing tropes (littattafan soyayya), the transitions between gritty action crime-thriller elements and domestic drama require close attention from the reader.

Conclusion

"Yar Tsanar Zinari" is a gripping entry in contemporary Hausa popular fiction. It successfully subverts traditional tropes by placing a brilliant, fearless female criminal at the center of a high-octane political conspiracy. Biba's blend of lethal competence and mesmerizing beauty leaves readers eager to discover the true nature of the "golden" secret she carries and how her dangerous games will ultimately resolve.
