17th Shawwal, 1323.

"Takawarka lafiya ďan toron giwa,
Allah ya ja zamanin Sarki, Lamido Sultan Sa'ad Ibrahim Mahdi!"

Everything happened so fast, the Palace was so full and busy, all the King makers, title holders were there present. I was asked to moved forward, were the King makers crowned me, they wore the Alkyabba thobe and wrapped the rawani turban for me, after some further formalities, I was handed the Staff of Office and asked to sit on the throne. It suddenly dawned on me, I was now King, Lamido Sa'ad Ibrahim Mahdi, the fourteenth Emir of Pawa Emirate!

All the title holders moved further to convey their greetings and congratulations to the new King, even Abba. It felt so not right to have elders bowing for me, but that was royalty for me isn't it, after all the greetings and all, the kirari begun...

The turbaning was rounded up before Zuhr, so as to give everyone ample time to rest before going to the Masjid, and the daurin aure which was scheduled to be immediate after Jumm'at.

I stood up and went to were Abba sat, I went down on my knees and collapsed into his arms and broke down in tear.

"No no Sultan don't cry, my son you are a King now, Kings don't cry" he chuckled on a lighter note.

"Abba I can't, I can't Abba, the responsibilities are too much Abba"

"That is not for me to decide again Sultan, it was a promise, I had to fulfill it, and who told you you can't do it? Of course you can, you just have to brace up my son, you were born into royalty, you were born to lead, this is your birth right, you have to face it, and bravely too" he said with a firm voice, indicating how serious he was, like to tell me there is no going back. He held my hands and helped me up to sit.

"Sit down and listen attentively Sultan" he said with an encouraging smile "21 years ago on the battlefield, your father breathed his last, but that was after living his parting words, a *, he made me promise Sultan, I know I have never told you the exact words, but today I will. He said "Promise me, promise me oh brother, that you will take care of Sultan. Promise me you will rule this Emirate justly and truthfully in my absence. Promise me you will guard the throne for him, and when he reaches the age of 21, promise me you will marry a righteous woman for him and make him Emir. So you see, those words of his were a wasiyyah Will, they had to be fulfilled and Alhamdulillah Ya Allah, I had been eagerly waiting for this day all through this years, to fulfill this promise.
