That night if I say I slept there is no doubt I have told a lie, until I woke up in the morning my eyes were swollen swollen from lack of sleep.
That's how I bathed and wore uniform. When I tied my leather sandals on my foot Abdulhakim entered through the door.

He poured some nice scented caftan of yarari with lack of stinginess, so that you could see the vest he is wearing inside.
In front of me he passed carrying my little bag but I didn't raise and look at him, because of love of his fragrance. He sat beside me, then I felt he too was smelling (Estee-Lauder) instead of his body scent from long ago.

I pinched the bag he will wear and held the bag handle, he pulled it but didn't finish, then he let it go for me. Tears that broke and fell flowed into my veil.
In a cold voice he said,
"Me ya yi zafi haka Sakinah? Ki yiwa Allah idan laifi na yi miki ki yi hakuri, gaya min me na yi miki ya saki kuka?"
I opened my mouth together with wiping some pressed tears I said, "Ni ka bani jakata zan makara, kuma John yana jirana a waje".
He said, "Ai na sallame shi, ni da kaina zan kai ki. Amma sai kin yi kalaci ko yaya tukunna".
"Ni ba zan ci ba".
"To ki sha ruwan tea kadai, ina zuwa".
He went out to Sabuwa and met tea and three coconut-cakes on a small tray and returned. Gently with closed mouth I took and drank, but I didn't finish pouring the tears.

Only after I finished then we went out, we were going in the car he touched what he sewed crying softly. Then when I smelled him I opened my mouth and sprayed him something that didn't even have a thought ba..........
"......Ba kai bane ka fesa Estee-Lauder!"
He kept quiet, then he laughed, hekwai-kwai his voice also said.
"Ni Abdulhakim na fesa Estee-Lauder......!"
Seeing he turned it to a joke then I got angry, my face gloomy. He then when he became 'serious' he started his stammering, said.
"....Fesa min ta yi, ba ni na fesa ba. Tunda kuma ba kya so ba zan kuma bari ta fesa min ba".

I continued to sulk like I would burst because of full mouth. I said,
"Ka ga tada motar nan mu tafi na makara".
Because I noticed if I say such small things I will keep making in my mind they worry me, I will catch high blood pressure for nothing.

When we were about to leave he and Faridan came to pick her, even though on that day they will leave Lagos. Allah sarki, she came out from in front of the car even before I finished she returned back.
I also said I will not enter front, she returned to her and sat. She didn't tell him and she returned front, he however didn't say anything.

Before we go, Abdallah already waited for us, he will take them to the airport.
He gave me some things in a leather bag that I knew Safina had a letter inside.
I was sitting at the edge of the bed looking at Safina's letter he entered, he put on new clothes, a deep-blue shadda. Seeing him you see a groom so much he poured scent and sheki yake. He said,
"Zamu tafi Sakinah sai upper week, me zan samu ne?"
I shook my head seeing how handsome he is, I have never seen a person more handsome than Abdulhakim. Wani takaici na cina a zucci.
