Nothing hurts more than being separated from someone you love by circumstances that are well above your control.

For the past six months now hamida has been severly ill. She sometimes feel better but it doesn't last long.

She's been taken to several hospitals and has under went several tests but to no avail.

The doctors couldn't find what's wrong with her but they left it thinking that its because of her pregnancy and that she'll be alright once she deliver her baby.

On hajiya hajara's part she's not happy because hamida is still alive and has tried every possible way with her malam but he told her that due to her devotion whatever they've done or will do can't directly impact her.

They've tried many tactics but the sickness part is the only thing that has affected her so far.

Few days later...

It was 2:00 in the afternoon when tragedy strikes the family the moment hamida went into labour but couldn't made it alive.

Neither her nor her twins (new born babies) made it alive.

Panic, tention and shock were all in the air after the doctor broke the news to them.

Relatives were informed, some were crying, some were praying and some have started heading to the house.

Khair fainted because she couldn't take it all at that time.

She regained consciousness at nine in the evening asking where her momma was when they told her she's been buried and she fainted again.

The doctor advised the family members to let her rest for a few days in the hospital.

After four days of complete bed rest  khair was discharged.

When they came back home they were only few family members left.

Ummu took khair to her room trying as much as possible to entertain her and make her feel a little better but khair isn't giving in.

When she sits in one place and start staring at a particular place she'll take a long moment if she's not disrupted in her thoughts.

That night she went to see her grandma who is staying at late hamida's chamber.

She went to her and hugged her crying her heart out.

Khair feels that she has no one left in her life apart from her grandma, she feels alone in this cruel world.

Her grandma let her cry to her heart's content.

She drifted into a deep slumber moments later.

Hajiya hajara's ecstasy knows no bounds, she's over the moon.

She said "at long last this witch is out of the way, neither her nor her babies survived and the victory is mine."

She even gave her mallam extra money thinking he did a good job, little does she know that if Allah (S.W.T) hasn't destined hamida's death to be because of her and at that day no power in the world can kill hamida and no matter how hard they try.

Few days later...

Khair's grandma is going back to katsina today and she's leaving khair here with the agreement that khair come to visit her every holiday and to spend it with her and the following is the conversation they made.
