Umma was leaning saying "K’warai has taken over the shop. All the goods inside were sold and the money from the shop was confirmed, what was left
was just to ask for help from Allah because the way I’m sick, I need money to go
and for everything to return to normal."
"Ke, you woman with Allah!" Mama cut in before she continued "Wallhi Suwaiba, I’m telling you if I’m not lying
there’s no food in the house.. What should I feed the children?.. Even. That’s why I came back from my husband’s parents’ house
with all the little things.. What else did Wllhi tell us when he said for a woman that day
her children Baku buk’s mother, we had debt and they refused. We begged but no help.
Malams came
begging for food.. Ke, I have a kiji and fad’a Miki.. Wllhi the one who is alive and who takes
and gives, the one who made the rich poor and the poor rich
will come, only Allah knows the day. If he wants, he will make the rich poor and those who have will pay their
debt." She took a breath before continuing "So what about Suwaiba and your children, without a house and with debt you’ve
killed them..
You, you killed someone.. In our religion if someone kills another he must pay the price.. That’s why you left the city.!
And also you borrowed money and now she’s asking for her money and she went to court.
I just looked at the girl "Kusha your family has no
father and he who gave you a signature for your house is alive ehen! "
The children were lined up crying and also wailing.
From Umma to Khulsum and Ummul they all raised their voices and started seeking the forgiveness they had lost.
Inna lillahi wa inna 'ilaihi raji'un.. What kind of world are we living in.?
To say your family is alive but in a situation that no one
is close to us in this world except we ourselves. After we lost our father, there was no
brother for us.. So now we have nowhere to turn to.. So that Allah blesses us
with a man who will marry us and take care of us and the orphan’s property.
Inna lillahi wa inna 'ilaihi raji'un. We have no one except "ya'yanka. Hasbunallah wa ni'imal wakil. We have our
studies at Natsu, we had a rich father and a house. We have our good neighbors
we used to do good to them when we had. We have our good neighbors as charity until after
death and for Allah’s sake, He gave them to us. Allah give us a child with blessing
Who will stand for us and do good sadaka Ameen.
That day Umma and the children cried a lot.
Ummul looked at Umma with both eyes wet "Umma now we’ve grown.
How can we leave Mama and the children
to suffer like this..?"
Khulsum beside her on the mat outside with tears said "What do you think, in the house and with Umma, we should go and
marry..?"
Umma again wiped her tears and then sighed at Khulsum’s talk.
Ummul also quickly got up and looked at Khulsum then looked at Umman "Umma or Inna Dije, should we call and tell her
the situation Abba is in..?"
Umma was quiet like someone thinking before she shook her head saying "Until today no one knows what happened between
their father and the 'wife' who came out together.. My husband didn’t tell us anything
about his separation from Dije.. But he left a will for us and also left a will for them."
Khulsum quickly got up and looked at Ummul who was still holding back the tears that were about to fall
and pretending like she didn’t hear anything.
After a while Khulsum continued "Since Fa'iz divorced Inna Dije, Abba and Inna Dije are no longer
siblings."
She took Ummul to boasting in a very loud cry and directed it to her mother.
Umma looked at Khulsum "My daughter Khulsum. I know you’re angry.. The reason you’re getting up at me
is.. " And then in a crying voice she continued "Since Fa'iz went back to his
family, he didn’t even greet us.. Apart from Fa'iz taking our lives and the things that happened before that didn’t happen..
Apart from Fa'iz sitting here and Ummul has stayed with me for a long time..
Allah sarki Fa'iz you left us with the burden
of orphans.. Apart from your lack of a big heart is on us.
You left the burden of our family Fa'iz...." She finished
in a loud cry
