Six weeks later,
Habibah was already better so alhaja Amina had left their home giving the couple space to build their marriage after the incident. Whereas Dauda felt more affected by the incident than his wife, he comes home late from the farm since he was a farmer also. When he even returns most times he refuses to eat he goes to bed on an empty stomach.
Habibah was getting worried day by day by her husband's new attitude, unlike before when he comes back from the farm she helps him with the crops he had harvested. They will stay up chatting with each other and cuddle themselves up to sleep but now all that had changed.
Once he is back he takes his bath and straight to bed. It was like he was avoiding her.
One fateful day he came back home quite earlier than other days and this time drunk. Habibah began to wonder the man she loved and married doesn't drink, so what was going on.
He stormed into the room staggering and murmuring to himself. At the sight of Habibah he began to render insultive words towards her; you this useless woman, good for nothing, foolish companion, see what you have brought upon yourself, you can see. If you had a child those people would have pitied you but you are barren. He continued to insult her stating the fact that she had brought shame to the both of them and on top of that had been unable to bear him a child for the past two years.
After the insults he fell on the bed and laid like a log of wood and dosed off.
Habibah on the other hand could not believe what had just happened, was she sleeping?
Habibah broke into tears, what was happening to her marriage. It's been 10 whole weeks now and still things hadn't gotten any better between them. What has happening? Why was she so unfortunate? Were the questions she kept asking herself till she fell asleep amidst her thoughts.
