(After six months,Summayah and Az have started writing their waec. Az did her GCE and passed but just because she had paid for her Waec and already registered,her mum told her to write it before they travel abroad. Jamiu's mum went to a supermarket to buy some of the things she needed, then there was a particular product that is remaining one and as she wanted to take it another woman of her age also placed her hand on the same product so they looked at each other. Coincidentally they knew each other from childhood and the woman was Jennifer's mum. They greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.)

Mrs Aminat:(Looks at her and tries to recollect her face but doesn't remember)I think i know this face from somewhere.

Yusrah:(Remembers) Oh, are you not aminat.

Mrs Aminat:Yes i am but how do you know my name.

Yusrah:You dont know me.

Mrs Aminat:I can't recollect this face.

Yusrah:This is Yusrah from Kaduna State.

Mrs Aminat:Ohh(Hug each other) How have you been.

Yusrah:I am fine.

Mrs Aminat:Why did you leave that place you were living because when i travelled and came back, i went to your house and i was told you left the place.
