I said *_"That's how it is.
But Sir, what do you think about the mad woman and the babies?"__
He said "Well, that's why I came back home with Malama. Her name is Sintar.
I met her on the street and I felt sorry for her.
I saw that she was alone at home, and the children are in Malama's hands,
so they will grow up with good upbringing."
Aminu sighed and said "That's true Sir, but I don't think it's a good idea because
Malama is educated and very understanding. She will definitely suspect something,
especially the way the children look like Ruwaida."
"The truth is, I couldn't bear it. Since Kareji died,
I go to visit her grave every day.
Whenever I see the soil of her grave, my heart breaks.
But you, do you see any other solution?"
Aminu said "What I think is for you to go and meet Doctor Yusura.
For now, entrust the mad woman to her.
She's a doctor, she knows hospitals and she will take her to Egypt.
She also knows how to take care of the babies."
"I heard your suggestion, but my heart will not have peace
if the children are in another woman's hands."
"Yes, if they are weaned, then we can give them to her.
But you will say it's an orphanage in Egypt.
You went and gave them because you want the reward of taking care of orphans.
See, Malama will be happy with that."
"No, Aminu. Why would I say it's an orphanage here in Nigeria and take them?"
"Because we will struggle to get Arab children.
That's how it is. They know Malama will investigate.
Malama doesn't just say it, it's an orphanage."
After all that talk, Aminu agreed with Mudda.
So they agreed and entrusted Doctor Yusura.
They promised to pay her a lot of money.
They gathered the money and left.
Now the children are one year old and he said that when they are weaned,
he will take them.
This is what happened after you left the house.
"But Aminu, if I hadn't heard this news,
I wouldn't have given you my daughter to marry, would I?"
He smiled and said to her
_"Take a picture of the children for Mudda.
Look here, he has entered a wedding. These are pictures of the children
doing well and healthy, bul bul. She was happy seeing them."*
Aminu confirmed it, because even a mad person would know these are her children.
Then she just kept looking and showing Hamrah and Ayya.
They were also happy and said:
"YA Aminu, when will we go and see these children with Umma, Inji Ayya?"
