He stroked his unkempt beard before bursting into laughter, raising his head up, standing upright until he sat on the bare floor, from the bare floor he went and leaned against the wall of the hut.
All of Gimbiya Zulaikha's staring, this time her body started trembling.
In a kind of Hausa of Gwarawa he started speaking:
"Your lie has ruined everything, you infidel!
Who first broke the promise, me or you? Since you gave it to me before the charm work of 'diyanah' twelve years ago, I told you that you would be visiting me at the hut and we would meet with passion like you do with your honorable husband. That desire you show me when we have intercourse, that is what will be the cause of peace and your love being seen in your husband's house for ten weeks, after ten weeks if you want that peace to continue you must come back for me to renew your charm....
And then after we finish intercourse, a black dog and a red bitch that have just mated will be slaughtered, then you will wipe our sexual fluids and mix it with their blood that has poured, keep it and bury it where the 'diyanah' cloth with charms is buried, this is what will add more power to the work we are doing.
Finally I am informing you I saw something in the darkness that I could not recognize, but when I calculated the book of darkness I realized our work will be effective for fifteen years, from there the work will spoil itself after something happens. I don't know what will happen, but now I see you are the one spoiling it through breaking the promise you made to me, you will spoil everything.
Zulaikha now you have spent twelve years, you are feeling reluctant, remaining three years before the Afkuwa happens, and you have turned your back on me, after knowing I am wicked at fixing the day you will give birth, you take this old useless man and you give yourself to him every night, this is what made me jealous and I exposed your secret to the honorable, and I went and hid under his protection, in his palace, until my boys brought guns and they killed him instantly right there.[Waziri]
