her first visit to Kano to her mother.
Sumayya Habibu was born in Katsina, she is the only child of her father Malam Habibu. Sumayya's mother Naja married Habibu since the young man and the girl were very much in love with each other. Malam Habib was a businessman in Katsina state when they got married. When they got married, he was a businessman in Katsina state. When the business was booming, he was very rich. Amarya showed him a lot of love and affection, especially when he was a woman who loved her and wanted to live with her. Her daughter did not care about her husband's family, whether close or far away. At one point, Malam Habibu's fortune was ruined because his belongings were seized by customs. They went in and out but they did not release the belongings. Life began to change in Malam Habibu's house. Amarya was always in constant contact with Habibu's harassment. Finally, she said that she could not live in poverty, so he let her go and married someone with money. He wanted to, but he did not have to, despite his deep love for her. When Sumayya was in the first year of secondary school, they returned to Amarya's parents' house, who were also not strong enough for them. Her life was all about her, no one was able to talk to her. The bride despised her parents and did not listen to their words. A year after her separation from Habibu, she met Alhaji Kamal without wasting any time. Their wedding was held. At first, Sumayya lived with her parents and completed her studies. Later, she returned to the bride and continued her studies. She did not focus on her studies, which is why she often repeated classes. Finally, she abandoned her studies. One day, while she was cleaning the house, she heard the house ringing with joy at the return of Alhaji Kamal's eldest son Mustapha. She fell in love with him at first sight. She took the brush of her hand and looked at Mustapha and saw how he hugged his younger brothers and sisters until Murjana hugged them all. He was very kind and did not give Sumayya anything. She did not even look at him. He was not in the country when his father married the bride, but he knew about her and the kind of inhumanity that he was pouring on everyone. Aunty Halima told him everything. Halima is their eldest sister and the daughter of Momy, the housewife of Alhaji Kamal. That is why he does not enter the bride's room and greets her at all. In the morning, as usual, after he finished greeting Ammi, he went in to greet Momy and then entered the bride's room. From the doorway as usual, he stood waiting for her. She didn't even look at him. That's why, after greeting her, he opened the curtains and went to Alhaji Kamal's room. In the bride's room, after Mustapha opened the curtains, Sumayya looked at her mother and said, “You're welcome.”
“I'm attracted to this guy, but I noticed that he's not in front of me or waiting for me, so I barely respond.”
"Hmm," the bride said, her heart racing, “Sumaiya, I also wanted you to marry Mustapha. I have a crush on him, but you can see that I don't think you can do it.”
"Mama, I love him and I can do anything to marry Mustapha" Sumayya said this while folding her hands in a sign of pleading from the moment the bride started to take the medicine from her bag “he said that Mustapha must be given this in water or lemon juice”
“Mom, this is nothing to worry about. Sometimes he gives me some Indomie and I'll mix it with orange juice.”
"I'm making you a big murja, your head is red" that day, Mustapha came into the house very hungry. Momy went into the room and asked Surayya to cook him Indimie. Sumayya was not there and went to Aunty Halima's house. Amarya went into the room and called Murjana and said that she had cooked him Indomie and brought it to his room. Sumayya helped her and they cooked the Indomie including a Genger lemon and a medicine powder. He thanked her very much when she showed him the Genger lemon and told him to mix it for him. From the moment he drank the lemon, he completely fell in love with Sumayya until they were married. Then they gave him a secret medicine in his food and drinks.
Sumayya's heart skipped a beat and she felt her body go cold. Before she knew it, Mustapha had left the room, not far from the window, and was walking around the room with a bag in his hand, looking at the clock. It was four minutes to six.
"Sumayya, let's go to Mas'ud, he will come and take us to the airport." She didn't say anything to him, she pulled her veil over her back, the car door opened for her and she got in and he got in first, Mas'ud got the car guard to open the gate and they left, they even went a little way to Ammi's house. Mas'ud got in the parking lot and looked at Mustapha. "Do you want to say hello to Ammi?" Mustapha nodded. Mas'ud got out of the car and went around to open the car's hood for Mustapha and took his hand and brought him out. Mas'ud looked at Sumayya and said, "Sorry Madam, let Musty say hello to Ammi, he won't leave the country without Ammi's blessing." He didn't wait for her answer and took Musty's hand and they entered the house. Ammi was reading the Quran from the window where they entered. Mas'ud looked at Mustapha and she raised her head in front of her and they knelt down. Mas'ud said
“Ammi, I brought you Mustapha's blessing, he will go to India”
“Well, Mustapha, may God help you and grant you what you have sought.”
"Ameen" Mas'ud said looking at Mustapha who was silent and unable to say anything, his body was shaking, his hand was moving towards them to leave until they reached the door Mustapha removed his hand from Mas'ud's and extended it to Ammi, hugging her and giving her a few kisses while kissing her cheek but
