She finished the room, put her things in her hands and came out, saying, “Let's go to the dining room.”

[01/10 12:45 pm] Abdul: STEP (6) Hajiya pulled a chair for him to sit down, he looked at MIMI and said, "My mother, sit down." He turned his gaze to Hajiya Sauda, did she have the fish fry? Hajiya looked at MIMI with a frown, then said, "It's done." MIMI opened her mouth and smiled. Hajiya was pouring some beans into a plate with coleslaw, she pulled another plate and poured him the fish fry, she pushed it in front of him and said, "Alhaji, didn't you ask the children of the house?" He looked at her in a joking manner and said, "Just seeing you made him forget about me. Even though I know they are Islamic now, right?" She said, "Yes, they went out today with great joy, because I told them you were coming." He said, "I didn't take them with me." But let me get the driver to buy them for them." She said, "Yes, it would be better if you went out with them because these children don't get your attention, it's like they don't care about you at all." He looked at MIMI who was sitting there, he said I will see when, you know I am not sitting there. She kept quiet because she knew what she would say and she did not understand what he would do. She kept insisting that he should give the children even an hour of his time, but he refused. Even those who were his wives did not see him on time, it would be a month or three weeks and if he came he would only come for two days. He stayed at her place for one day and went to Malumfashi to help her with her pilgrimage. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard him asking MIMI what is my mother? I see you are all lost? Eat your fish, mother. He looked at Hajiya Sauda, where is her fish? Hajiya pointed to the spoon, look at the fish in front of her? Did she take it for us or should I eat it? MIMI pushed the spoon back and looked at her mother, I was full, Hajiya Sauda said, you lied a thousand times, by God, you did a little, tell me to cook it for you, now say you won't eat it, because you are so disrespectful, I have noticed that since you came into this house, I know you don't want to come, even if it's the cat that doesn't want to come, oho miki, but your mouth is the only thing that will save you there. Sauda! Alhaji interrupted her and raised his hand, the truth is, I don't like what you are doing, let's say you have your daughter inside you but you don't love her?.…

[01/10 12:46 pm] Abdul: STEP (7) Hajiya said, I don't love her, I don't like her character. And if she sees that we are living under the same roof, then she should definitely change her character, if she doesn't change, then she should find another mother even though she has her own. He softened his voice, it's not about fighting, but honestly, I can't stand to see you say that to her, she always complains to me that you don't love her, if I tell her the truth, didn't you give birth to her? He put down the spoon in his hand, I miss what she does to you, she doesn't even know where she is studying. She came on vacation like this, but you don't even miss her. Hajiya offered him the pineapple juice, which she mixed for him, in his coffee and then touched his lips and said, only her character will change, if she wants my love. Now, haven't you looked at her dress? From Abuja, you sent her to Katsina, you are her father, see her outside, her body parts are all bothering her, she must be awake. He looked at MIMI and then at Sauda, with a slight smile, what is wrong with her beauty, I don't see any flaws in her, that's what young girls like her do. He looked at MIMI, eat your fish, mother, don't worry, do you hear? Hajiya interrupted and headed to her room. That's when MIMI got a chance to say something, look at you, I said leave me there to finish my vacation, you said yes, I will come, I know Hajiya will never love me. She stood up and looked at her body, she started to clap, what was wrong with her? He looked at her in a seductive manner and said, I don't see anything wrong. She said, Hajiya, I wear a hijab and a cap, and I can't wear such hot clothes. I studied and I am not like them, I am a villager. He smiled, her smile impressed him. He looked at her like a two-year-old girl. He stood up and walked towards her and patted her shoulder, don't worry, my mother. Your mother loves you, I know she sees that I am most worried about you among my children, you know because she gave birth to you, that's why. If it were like Hajiya was hers or Nafisa, I would have already sent them away, have you forgotten that I once sent Hajiya away because of you? She said I remembered Dad,
