MY LITTLE SISTER

Description

In a lively household, a 27-year-old man, Ahzad, sleeps peacefully in his room, wrapped in a blanket, exuding calm. His serene slumber is shattered when his younger sister, Huzda, a spirited girl, bursts in, screaming about a "rat" in Ado Megadi’s room, mistaking Ahzad’s bedroom for her brother Sultan’s. Startled, Huzda recoils at Ahzad’s groggy gaze, realizing her mistake, and flees in embarrassment. She collides with Sultan, who teases her for her mix-up but agrees to investigate the "rat" with her, amused by her panic.

They enlist their aunt, Asabe, to prepare sobo before confronting the creature. Rushing to Ado Megadi’s room, they discover not a rat but a massive burgu (snake), trapped and frantic after entering the room. Chaos erupts as the snake lunges, chasing Sultan and Huzda, who scream and flee. Ado Megadi, alerted, informs their mother, who’s just stepped out of the kitchen. She urgently calls Ahzad to intervene, dismissing his playful skepticism about Sultan wrestling a snake. Ahzad, with his calm, sweet voice, takes charge, entering the room where he finds Huzda fainted and Sultan battered from the snake’s bites—three in total, two on his leg, one on his arm.

With steely resolve, Ahzad scoops up Huzda, glares at Sultan, and subdues the snake with an iron rod, handing it off to Ado Megadi, who disposes of it to local almajirai. Back inside, Ahzad, ignoring his mother’s questions, carries Huzda to her room and returns to treat Sultan’s wounds, his face stern with focus. Huzda, reviving, mistakenly cries out about a "rat" again, only to be reassured by her mother that Ahzad handled the snake. Overwhelmed, Huzda dashes for her sobo, grabbing a cake from the dining table, but in her haste, she crashes into a man—spilling her drink over his pristine white clothes. Her eyes widen in horror, anticipating consequences, as the scene brims with the family’s chaotic yet endearing dynamic, underscored by Ahzad’s quiet heroism and Huzda’s impulsive energy.
