"Patience, I don't love it, and all those who are seeking marriage want me to hurry and get married, my mother also boasted about it"
She intended to go to the parlor where Jawahir was sitting and Ammy was sitting in the parlor looking at Ammy with a face full of tears and sadness.
"One day my mother received a very important guest, and also the sarki of Khartoum city, our royal family was the one that held power in that city at that time.
So one day, there was a gathering in the palace, and on that day my mother told her maid to go and call me.
I sat in a room downstairs with a maid, waiting for my mother to call me to come to the guest and Sarkin Khartoum, because during gatherings the daughters of the sarki would sit with the guests and even the children of the sarakuna.
At that time, the children of the sarakuna don’t get married until the children of their own kind, I answered him that there was no problem.
I sat there and my mother sent for me to come to the guest, but I refused to go because I was angry with my mother.
I also knew that because of her pride, she wanted me to marry the son of a daraja from Sudan, my mother was very stubborn and she didn’t understand or know that I was in love.
I also used to hear that Balarabe and Auri’s daughter Maryam were in love, but my mother didn’t know that Balarabe was the son of a slave girl from another woman.
They wanted a boy, but they didn’t want someone with dark skin, and they didn’t respect his opinion, they didn’t even consider him.
Balarabe was dark-skinned a little, and he didn’t look like someone from a palace.
Because of that, my mother didn’t want me to marry anyone except the one she chose.
I didn’t even have a say, and I also agreed"
Ammy wiped her tears and then spoke to her..
"From the day they chose a husband for me, and I was taken to the palace, I started facing problems.
Even before I entered the palace, I didn’t wear earrings and I only bathed twice.
When I went out in the palace, I faced insults, because the insults given to the sarki’s wife, the kind of insult that was different in color, the insults I got were things you wouldn’t even wish for an enemy.
For the sake of my children I endured it, I knew that the one who would know and understand the affairs of the palace was not someone who would come out and say it.
I was a queen in a palace of problems, I was the wife at the head of the wives of Maimunatu, we were insulted and I was wearing earrings and friends of that time.
Also, not a single day did I fail to tell my mother the situation I was in because I knew she was the one who chose this for me"
She closed her eyes and tears fell from her.
"I feel very sorry for you Aysha, I am the only one who went through the kind of experience I went through in the palace, because I knew what it was like.
And also Turhan swore to me that he would keep the promise he made to me"
She opened her eyes while tears were still falling from them, she stood up and headed for the door of the parlor, opened it and went in, then she headed for the stairs to go to her room.
