Looking at Tumba, she felt like she was about to burst into tears, she couldn't hear what she said but she could see her mouth moving. "I didn't hear anything, Umma" She said her voice shaking as her body was shaking, she felt like Tumba was going to beat her or give her another bad joke. Tumba gave her a look. "Are you going to start a new political movement?" Seeing Tumba pointing at herself made her search for any energy she had and gather it and put it into her body and stand up and end up close to Tumba to hear what she was saying. "By God, I didn't hear what you said, Umma, I don't really hear it" She said as if she was about to burst into tears, Tumba knew Falmata wouldn't lie to her, she wouldn't do that to her on purpose, her expression alone was enough to tell her the truth. Tumba bit her lip a little, but at that moment she respected the slap because Baba didn't joke with Falmata, her face was swollen. "I told you to get up and go to work" Tumba said in a loud voice and repeated it to her in a way that she would hear.  Falmata started to twiddle her fingers, wanting to remind her again that they had kicked her out, but knowing who Tumba was, she had to keep quiet and lower her head to the ground. “You’re not going, you’re going to be patient with them?” This time she heard Tumba speak loudly. “Okay,” she replied, moving her body as if she was in a bit of a pickle. Tumba turned and left the room. Falmata went to the place where her Hijab was, picked it up, put it on and left. Tumba deliberately called out to receive her food, seeing Baba standing there, getting ready to leave. Falmata went to where Tumba was, determined to receive it, not because she heard what she said, but because she saw him handing her her bowl. Not because she was hungry, because everything was going to get out of her mind, she ended up getting yelled at by Baba.  "Don't accept this food, you will never eat my food again, since you chose to be naughty..." Falmata stopped and couldn't finish walking to where Tumba was sitting and handed her the warm food. She heard what Baba said because his voice was like that of men who speak loudly, let alone her who could not speak to her softly.

May Allah reward you Falmata, may Allah reward you” Khadija said in tears, before she grabbed her friends and headed to the balcony to sit. At Falmata’s house, she said that Khadija’s mother and Khadija had planned for her to return home and told Falmata to go to work and apologize to them and they would send her back. “Every time she sends you to work, come back here and stay until it’s time for you to go home and then go back, and come here for food and eat every day” Khadija’s mother said in her ear full of compassion, because if she didn’t whisper to her, she wouldn’t hear what she said. Falmata nodded. “Thank you” “It’s nothing to do with you, this lack of faith of Tumba is too much, does she think she’s not having children? What kind of heart do I have?”  “God will reward her In-Sha-Allah” Khadija said wiping away Falmata’s tears. Falmata then measured the time of her return and left their house. Khadija started walking home, feeling scared because she felt like her secret would be exposed and Umma would find out that she hadn’t gone to work. AA POV. Since the accident that happened to Nana a year ago, he hasn’t been able to go out to work, and he used the accident to tell them that he was sick and would take a week off to recover, fear filled him, thinking that if he went, he might meet Nana. She called someone and said, “Maybe he should be arrested, maybe her father is a soldier or a judge and he should be put in jail.” Aunty Rabi didn’t say anything because even when the door of the house was knocked, she felt like she and AA would be taken away. “I didn’t warn you, but you didn’t listen, so you went and got us something, you didn’t go quietly, I’m not pregnant” Looking at Anty Rabi, he smiled, all the fear and anxiety he had when he remembered Nana and how she was  He finds himself feeling relaxed, it's okay that she's stupid and he likes that even the little money she gives him. "There's nothing Aunty, they're going to catch us if they don't find out where I am now, I think she didn't say it because she's not telling the truth either" “Hmm do you know if they're looking for you there?”
