But why don't you call him on the phone? You have to know that it's not your blood that has mixed with the children of the house, especially Rasheedat, including the wife of the house, Hajiya Salmahn, so why would you go and look after him?"
“Well, Mami, I'm not going to take her or the children of the house, I'm not going to take her, Sultan.”
"Okay, where are you going, Sultan? I'll tell you that he's at home and is he her son or will you follow him to Dr. Sambon's hospital?" Hajiya Fatima said, looking at her waiting for an answer. Nabilah shook her head and said, “No, I won't follow him to the hospital, I'm actually going to their house, I won't be there for long, I'll be back now.”
“Hmm Nabilah, I'm speechless. Do you really love Sultan after watching his mother Hajiya Salmah worry about her children's welfare? But you did all that to me. You want to go to her house as her mother-in-law after you told me that she won't support Sultan in his marriage proposal tomorrow. Nabilah, where are you? You think you should stop and think about what you want to do....”
She didn't finish speaking, he called her on the phone, so she stood up and went into her room to answer the call quietly, not as if she was in a parlor. Nabilah said after Hajiya Fatima passed by, thinking that she knew that until tomorrow, Hajiya Salmah didn't want to have anything to do with her son Sultan, but since Sultan wasn't the one who had seen her, she wouldn't even look him in the eye. She would marry him just to be happy with him. She would live in the same house with Hajiya Salmah, let alone the many trials. She stood up, took a deep breath, stood up, took a box of chocolates and her car keys, and went into her room to get them. She went to Maghrib and said, “It's better to go and pray today, because she feels so tired, she will sleep early or her body will stop aching when she wakes up.”

At night, as she was about to go to sleep, she lay down and her phone was still on, wondering if Sultan would call her. Just a few minutes before she fell asleep, Sultan's call came in. She quickly opened her eyes, sat up, and picked up the phone. She saw the number she was thinking about, so she kissed the screen of her phone like she was seeing Sultan before she picked it up and, closing her eyes, said, “I'm sorry, Sultan.”
“Hello Sultan, good night.”
He, on his part, was lying in his bedroom, wrapped in a blanket, hugging himself with a pillow, and re-arranging his bed, smiling.
“How are you, my baby?”
“How are you, Sultan? Aren't you asleep? I saw ten o'clock nearby.”
“Yes, you think I can sleep after I didn't put you in my eyes that will sleep today since I missed you so much this morning. I didn't get to come home early when I came back from the hospital. I hurried after taking a bath and praying, I didn't stop to eat because it was late so I came to your place. And I was surprised. My friend Sameer came to visit me from Miyetti, that's why I didn't get to come, but I hope you have a good day.”
Kaita looked up as if he was seeing her and said, "It's okay, I really missed you, Sultan," she said in a joking tone, because she was already used to saying a word or two and then putting some joking tone into it.
"I miss you too, baby, now my eyes are longing to see you, that's why I wish I had gone to India and come back to talk to Daddy, just to get married to you, so that you could come back to me, but my mind is better spent in bed, I always sleep with jealousy and fear, I can't sleep well when I remember you always going out to school, boys see you and look at us, don't let anyone hear you talking to him about your love or coming to your house, oh my god, I'm so sorry, I'll break his leg and bite his teeth" .
Hhhhh, Nabilah laughed and said, "Hey, Yaya Sultan, I'm jealous of the way you talk and talk. For example, I asked you, by chance, I saw you with a young man I was chatting with, what would you
