Hajiya I'm so sorry for what happen to Abdul. Yakaka said to Hajiya Halimah.
Hajiya Halimah hummed.
she has been impatiently waiting for Salisu to take her to the police station where her son is.


Hajiya please don't worry yourself. Abdul will be alright. Yakaka said.
Yakaka how will he be alright? My son has never hurt a fly before why will he be accused of rape? Why? Hajiya Halimah cried.

Hajiya "Insha Allah he shall be proven innocent soon. Yakaka said.
Yakaka are you aware that your son and his friend are the ones that frame Abdul? Hajiya Halimah said with a sniff.

Haba Hajiya how can you say such a thing to Yakubu? I know Yakubu isn't a good son but he won't do that to his brother. Abdul is like a brother to him. Yakaka said.
I know you will not believe me. Have you seen Your son since Yesterday? Hajiya Halimah asked.

No, I haven't. Yakaka replied.
Your Son is at the hospital since yesterday. Hajiya Halimah muttered.
Hajiya what do you mean Yakubu is in the hospital? Yakaka asked.
Your Son and his friend raped a girl and Abdul saw them.
he went there to save the girl and he beat Yakubu up.

Yakubu's friend runs to the police station and comes back with two policemen. he lied to them that Abdul was the one that raped the girl. Hajiya Halimah explain.
Yakaka was speechless not knowing what to say.

I'm sorry Hajiya. I will sure deal with Yakubu. I will disown him. I can't give birth to a rapist. Yakubu has spoiled my image in this community. Yakaka cried out.

Salisu arrived at AbdulHamid's house.
he walks inside the compound with a salam.
Hajiya Halimah answer him.
she open the door and Salisu walks in.
Salisu greets the geriatric women.

Hajiya are you ready? Salisu ask Hajiya Halimah.
Yes, let me get my hijab. Hajiya Halimah said. she stand up and walks to her bedroom to get her hijab.

Hajiya Halimah wore her hijab and she strides out of her bedroom.
she picks up the food flask and then puts it inside the basket.
Salisu let's go. Hajiya Halimah said.
They saunter out of the room and Hajiya Halimah locks the door.


My regards to Abdul. I wish I can come with you but I'm not done with the house chores. Barira is not feeling well. Yakaka said.
Okay " Thank you. Hajiya Halimah said.










******************************


You still don't want to accept that you rape that innocent girl right? the policeman said to Abdul while torturing him.
I didn't do it. I swear by Allah I'm not the one that rapes her.
Asiya is my friend I only go there to save her. Abdul said with a sigh.


You think we will believe your lies when we vividly see the girl in your arm. the policeman said and he started hitting Abdul.
Abdul started screaming in pain.
I will give you from now till next week if you didn't tell us the truth I will cut off your manhood let's see what you will use to rape other girls. The policeman threatened.

Abdul had tears in his eyes not because of the torture but the condition his mom might be.

Hajiya Halimah reaches the police station. they walk inside and a man stops them.
what do you want? The man ask them.
Good morning sir. I'm the mother of the victim brought here last night. Hajiya Halimah said.


Okay. how can we help you? The man asked.
I want to see my son. Hajiya Halimah said.
Oh, you want to see that rapist. The policeman said mockingly.
