Third POV;
Mama(Hajiya zainab) sat in her living room shaking her legs furiously. She was still angry over her last encounter with her son.
This girl has bewitched my son she thought to herself. Still thinking of ways to tackle the issue. It's been days since she went to Muhsin's house and everyday she thinks of different ways to solve the issue. It is clear her son does not want to find a solution for himself.
How can he when he doesn't even see anything wrong to begin with. She thought.
Gaskiya dole in Tashi tsaye in nemo ma kaina mafita Sabo da idan na bar yarinyar nan, ban San abun da zai biyo baya ba {I really need to find a solution for this because if I leave this girl i don't know what more she would do}
she said deep in thoughts.
Just then she remembered her friend Hajiya Salamatu. She picked up her phone and dialed Hajiya Salamatu's number.
Hajiya salamatu's residence
Hajiya salamatu is an average dark skinned woman who has been Mama's friend for a very long time. She is best described by people around as the ghetto business woman with no class, but nevertheless Hajiya Zainab associates with her because she treats her like a queen.
She is the main reason behind Mama's hatred for Inayah. She had wanted Muhsin to marry her daughter Safeerah but he never liked Safeerah. Safeerah was too lousy and Ill mannered but always pretends to be a saint anytime she is around Hajiya zainab in the hopes that she will one day marry Muhsin. Muhsin had always disliked her because when they were still doing their degree in the UK she was known for sleeping around.
Hajiya Salamatu was seated in her living room watching the news when she saw Hajiya Zainab's call. Just then Safeerah walked in looking panicked. She was about to start talking but her mom raised a hand stopped her but she still talked nonetheless.
"Mama Na shiga uku. Na mutu na lalace" she started talking regardless "wallahi Hajiya tawa ta kare" {mama I am in trouble. I swear I am finished}
she said hysterically passing a paper to her mom. Hajiya Salamatu dropped her phone instantly and collected the paper. It was a pregnancy test result and it was positive. She looked at her in disbelief
"Yarinyan nan kin gama Dani" Hajiya Salamatu exclaimed "Yanzu me kike so in fada wa Duniya, kin kawo mun abun kunya Cikin gida na" she said standing up angrily and slapping Safeerah.{This girl you've finished me. What do you want me to tell the world now. You've brought shame to my house}
"Toh wallahi kisan yanda zakiyi dashi Sabo da baza ki ja mun zagi ba ehe!" {you better know how to solve this because you won't bring disgrace to me}
"Hajiya wallahi......." Safeerah began but was cut off by Hajiya salamatu's phone ringing. She picked the phone and saw it was Hajiya zainab again. She hissed and said "what does this woman want again" before picking the call.
"Hajiya zainab kenan. Hajiya mai Naira, Amarya kuma uwar gida agidan Alh Mustapha"
Mama smiled basking in the glory of all the praises Hajiya Salamatu showered on her.
"Salamatu kenan. How are you and Safeerah"
"We are fine. To what do I owe this call today"
"Salamatu you already know the problem. My son Muhsin has refused to see reason. I've tried talking some sense into him but to no avail"
"Hajiya zainab Ai na gaya miki yarinyan nan ba Alkhairi bane agareshi. So take ta Mallake shi gaba daya. Duk ta tsafe shi, ko me kika gaya mishi bazai ji ba"{hajiya zainabu i have told you that girl is not good for your son. She has bewitched him he won't listen to you}
"Na sani Salamatu amma yanzu na rasa yanda zanyi" { I know Salamatu but i don't know what to do}
"Ni shawara daya zan Baki. Ki nema mishi wata mata kawai ki aura mishi ita"{ I can only give you one advice, find him another wife}
"Ni yanzu Ina zan samu mata da zan aura mishi. Kin San bazai taba yarda ba"{ where will I get him another wife and you know he will not agree to get married again}
"Ai dole zaki sa shi idan ya Kai kice mishi in bai yi ba Baki yafe mishi ba" { You have to force him. If he doesn't agree tell him you won't forgive him if he doesn't}
"Gaskiya kin kawo shawara Salamatu. Amma Ina nasan zan samo ma Muhsin matar da zata yi mun biyyaya"{You've given me a great advice Salamatu but where will I find a girl that will obey me}
"Hajiya zainabu kenan ga mata nan daya wa a gari sai kin zama. Ko yaran en uwa kika samu. Ni ko wave ce zan Goya miki baya" {Hajiya there are plenty girls around. Even your relatives. Who ever it is I will support you}
"Haka ne Salamatu zan duba in gani duk yanda akayi zan Kira ki in gaya miki. Nagode Salamatu"{ that's right Salamatu I will check and see whatever happens I will call you. Thank you Salamatu}
"Ba matsala Hajiya zainabu nagode nima" Hajiya Salamatu said cutting the call. She smiled wickedly looking at her daughter she had already hatched a plan in her head {no problem Hajiya zainabu, thank you too}
"Mama why didn't you suggest that I marry Hajiya Zainab's son" Safeerah whispered
"Ke wawiya ce daman. If I suggest that you marry her son now she will be suspicious of my motives she is a very wise woman. Allow her to search for a girl that would meet all her requirements. When she runs out of options, that is when I will strike" she smirked
