Hajiya Saudat was sitting on her Idah and Zuhar prayers, praying for forgiveness. She was about forty-seven to eight years old, but she did not look her age because of her beauty and her age. If you were to guess her age, you would say thirty or so, she was beautiful and dignified. Her Nokia phone beside her rang. She calmly reached out and picked it up, looking at the screen. As she would have expected, it was the husband because she had not received a call from him all day. He greeted her, she answered politely, he called her name and said, Hajiya, welcome us later. She said in a soft voice, didn't you tell me this morning? He said in a persuasive tone, I kept looking for your number but he couldn't find it, she said, if you asked her, they would have called me, maybe it was the network because she was on her phone, he smiled a little, no wonder I would arrive hungry, so welcome me, she laughed a little, what kind of hunger? He also laughed a little, they were adults, whatever hunger I have, I will come with her, she said, don't worry, may God bring you health, he said, amen. Have my mother have some fish fry, we will come together, she made a face, as if he was looking at her, she said alhaji, for God's sake, don't bring me mimi. He said, why? She said, you know everything, alhaji MIMI, if she comes to the house, it's not the housekeepers. She knew, I told her not to see her in my house again, the pressure didn't change her behavior, I don't need her. He was silent because he was upset, for about a minute they were all silent. Then he said, Sauda, I will never tire of telling you that I am not happy with what you are doing to MIMI, honestly, it would be better for you to come out and insult me, it would be easier for me than to shame MIMI. God! said Hajiya Saudatu, she softened her voice again, I don't know when you will understand me, Alhaji, but please forgive me. If you are going to come for us, then you come alone, I would prefer that. In a little heat he said, Sauda, we are on our way, don't forget her daily food, tell all the family members who don't want to see her can leave the house until she leaves,

[01/10 12:45 pm] Abdul: STEP (2) and then he turned off his phone. She bit her lip and closed her eyes in frustration, she had no choice but to do what her husband wanted. She clearly said that I don't want MIMI to be here, I hate her behavior, let a little girl do what she wants. She stood up and prayed. Abdulkarim greeted her, she replied with a frown, then she paused, Abdulkarim said, are you okay Hajiya? Alhaji called me, saying that they were following him and MIMI. Abdulkarim paused, hearing MIMI's name mentioned, then he said, should I turn around now and just greet Hajiya and pick up her bag, this week I don't have any lessons like today, so I'll come back to you. Hajiya Sauda laughed a little and said, "Haba Abdul, you came from Zaria to Katsina and just said hello and then you passed because of MIMI?" She continued to say, "It's not possible. Just take your bag and go to your section, spread water. Let me make your person touch you and bring you food. I know they're done for the day now." He said, "I don't like her sarcasm, Hajiya. If a little girl, your younger sister, comes behind you and brings sarcasm to you, you don't have time to talk. And you know with your heart that I'll beat her." Hajiya said, oh don't start, you know Alhaji's character. I hope you haven't forgotten how your brothers Abbas took her away, if you remember, he would bow his head to her, but Alhaji would not go out the way he entered. For six months, he did not respond to Abbas's greetings. Then the party ended and Alhaji came down, and when Abbas' friends gathered, Alhaji's friends met and they were touching him, and he barely tolerated the rules against his daughter. Abdulkarim sighed in frustration, then he said, I have not forgotten. Hajiya, that's why I said, I will go back, she said, be patient with her. He said, the truth is Alhaji is not fair to us, let's say that among his children we are twenty-two, but he chose only one, he said, she is a star just because she has his mother's name. By God, Hajiya, I am worried about her, she is our sister, but if I talk to her, I will only do what she says in the family. Hajiya Sauda said, be patient with her,

[01/10 12:45 pm] Abdul: STEP (3) The truth is that she is a woman, she has to get married, right? Abdulkarim said, of course, this little girl is a jin kan? He sat down on the chair, and then he said, may God make her listen to someone. Hajiya said, yes Abdulkarim must get married. Isn't she a woman? Would he himself want her to be left in front of him? Abdul laughed a little, and then said, maybe he said that the husband used to follow her to his house. Hajiya said, oho they already know, they laughed a little, she said just give them time. I was telling God, you who gave birth to me alone are feeling frustrated and angry with her, except for those who I did not give birth to. Abdul stood up and picked up his bag, let me go to our room, Hajiya said, then let me go to the main kitchen too. Hajiya Sauda went to the main kitchen, you know that
