They all agreed to say, "The people are safe, what happened?" She cried harder and said, "Is it time to humiliate me in this house? I will leave so you can live with your wives, since that’s what you’ve chosen."
Everyone fell silent, and then Malik spoke up, "Umma, please tell us what happened. We're in the dark here."
"Well, your wife is the one who hurt me. She came here because her father is at the house of Inyamurai, and she plans to gather the barracks for us, and they will treat you like a bunch of gypsies. By the way, I’m generous enough to invite you to your own home." She broke down in tears, and even my husband, Hajiya Iklima, said, "Grandma, please be patient and stop crying." Grandma turned around angrily and retorted, "Where have you been crying? It’s not your mother who is crying, don’t you think you should say something? Let me get up and talk to my children. I don’t want to spend hours on this."
Hajiya Iklima felt a deep sadness. She looked at her grandmother’s face and spoke through her tears.
She stood up and walked out, growing more and more frustrated at her grandmother’s expression, while Grandma said, "Well, let’s go outside because I don’t want to talk to my children with eyes like those of wildflowers."
