Alhaja! Alahaja! Dauda called habibah's mother to come to the house that something tragic happened last night.
Alhaja Amina( habibah's mother) came to the house hurriedly wondering why her son-in-law must have called her so early in the morning.
Dauda my son, alhaja called when she was in their sitting room. You made me so worried what happened and where is your wife my daughter.
Dauda began to shed tears making alhaja Amina more worried and scared now.
We were robbed last night, they took all our money, clothes and valuable belongings, not just that ooh alhaja, Dauda said.
He began to cry like a baby now. Alhaja who was already in tears for the couple began to wondered what else must have happened.
Then amidst tears Dauda said and they raped my beloved wife, alhaja.
Alhaja was dumbfounded her own daughter had been raped by people they knew not.
Why why why Allah why, was all she could say. The couple has been married for two years without a child and now this.
Habibah on the other hand was traumatised, she wasn't eating or talking to anyone. All she was doing was to cry day and night.
Alhaja couldn't bear to see her daughter in such a state so she decided to stay for some weeks.
