"I can't wait for tomorrow, I want to see them for real, as in how do they survive? Maryam said to the girls.

"Same here, especially the mother and the elder daughter, they are really strong, but wait don't they have any family close to them that would help?" Ralee asked.

"That's what I thought about too, at least they should have, either from the father or from the mother," Said Rabi.

"Maybe they don't, but that's hard to believe, we will find out soon, right?" Maryam asked.

"Sure sure", said the twins.

They talked for so long then the maid called them that they were leaving.

"Goodnight babyn Abbi," Ralee said.

"Goodnight Ralee, I know what to do to you". Said baby.

Alhaji Uthman and his family left immediately after Isha's prayers, it's nice to be with your family.

"Umma, I'm finishing my Waec today Insha Allah, please include me in your prayers," Khadijah said to her mother.

"May Allah help you my dear and all of you who are writing the exams, May you bring an excellent result home." Said umma.

"Ameen ya rabbi umma. Thank you."

I went to Asmau's house and we went to school together praying that it would be easy for us.

After exams, I went back home, and I saw umma sweeping the small compound. I did my salam and greeted umma, I went inside the room and changed.

"Umma let me do it please. I know you must be tired". I said.

"Okay, so how were the exams", hope it didn't give my daughter a headache," she asked while sitting down on the mat.

"Alhamdulillah umma, it wasn't too hard, but it was okay Alhamdulillah"

"Toh may Allah help you. Amin."

"Umma, what should we cook?" I said.

"Maybe tuwo, we have rice for tuwo maybe we can just cook it."

"Okay umma, I'll do the miyan kuka you should do the tuwo," I said.

"Well done, you don't want to stress yourself with the stirring right? I got you."

"No umma, you know at times it doesn't look perfect like yours, that's why," I said smiling.

"OK ok. Make the fire then."

"Okay, umma. Where are the kids?" I asked

"They went to Asmau's house, they want to play."
