Today, Asmau was happy that Sohail had returned, together with Sahil, and they were together. Only this morning, she saw that Sohail had returned, a child who could barely walk. So they gave up and sent them to pre-nursery. Sahil was intelligent and understanding, while Sohail always slept until he finished school, but if he was told to wake up and the bell rang, he would wake up and not sleep again.
The teachers were informed that this was the case, and they allowed him to do so. They would take Adnan to school together and pick him up. The school fees were also given to Adnan to share with the children since he was the eldest. When Adnan woke up, he would only give them to his siblings who were from the same mother and father, not his twins. They would go to school and watch the children's clothes being changed, but apart from them, they would just sit in class. Sahil didn't play, he was a silent person who didn't pay attention to anyone. Sohail was the king of games, but he didn't let him sleep and play games in school.
One day, the two of them got even more clever in primary 2. Sahil was tired and went to Mama Asmau and told her, "Mama, Yaya Adnan never gave us school money. We watched them buy sweets and we didn't give him any money." Asmau smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you're sorry." She told them, “Since that day, she used to bring them food and they would take it with them and put sweets and biscuits in their bags. But Adnan would notice and he would take the bag and give it to his younger brother.”
He also grabbed the food and threw it away, giving them their flasks, and Sahil got tired and told Mama Asmau.
Ranta was very upset, but she held back, forgiving them and changed it so that she would open the middle of their book and put money in it for them to break. That way, they would survive and earn money to buy something.
Adnan and their mother, Ummi Nadia, generally hated the other children, Sahil did not love them at all, and their father, Ali Sa'ad, did not care about Sohail, seeing them as if they were not people, he did not care about anything except them, Adnan.
This was until Sahil arrived and they were sent to buy things at the shop. Whenever Sohail was sent, he would not be able to do it. Today, Asmau came out to send Sahil and found that he was very hot and had a fever. She said, "Sohail, come, I sent you." He went to collect the money. She said, "Will you buy me some soup?" What did I say? He said, "Spicy soup." She said, “Good boy, I'll buy some tomatoes and some attaruhu for two hundred, I'll see if I can get it for you today.”
When he left, she insisted that he buy the soup, and he ran away, but as he was leaving the gate, he slammed on his brakes and started walking as if he wasn't going to leave, playing with the money. He didn't go for 30 minutes. When he got close to the soup shop owners, he saw that it had rained and he lay down in the middle of the street. He went inside and washed himself in the water. When anyone came by in a car, he just laughed and avoided the car and passed by. He spent an hour splashing around in the water, which was all red and muddy, until he got tired and went out to buy what he was sent.
It is said that he bought some soup but then he went to the place where the pineapple and watermelon were and asked to give me some vegetables, instead, a lot of watermelon was cut into pieces and mixed with pineapple and given to him and he turned and headed home, on the way he had to find a tree and lie down there, he saw a watermelon on the side and he cooled down and then he got up and went home, when Mama was tired she made rice and beans for her, but his hair came back and his body was stiff and brown, the watermelon with pineapple inside was inside, Mama was sad, all her patience was gone she had to draw Sohail with a broomstick, they slept all day long and he cried like a machine had been turned on, until Alhaji Ali came in the night and said Asmau, do you have your children? She said, I have been so angry with Sohail for this misfortune until I am going to take him, may God prepare it, he smiled and they slept without sleep, only Sahil slept because he was a child.
