The doctor said "we need blood because all the blood in her body is finished, so you have to buy blood at the hospital or you can call your relatives to get blood that will be compatible with hers."

He hung up the call angrily, and as soon as he turned he went out because he couldn’t even talk.

Dadi, when he thought about this, he felt weak and tired. He took a deep breath and held back someone who was almost breaking down and crying.

*Umma*'s voice was heard as she said angrily "what kind of person are you *Xubairu*? Don’t you have pity for anyone? Why are you locking a little girl inside the room? Wallahi you will answer for this."

He didn’t know when she said "to answer for it? You mean me *Umma*? What do you mean answer for it? Do you want an explanation? Because of the love I have for her, *Allah Umma* I can swear I won’t even let Balaraba get hurt, she won’t even get a scratch".

From the other side *Umma* said "you little crybaby that your mother scolds, now *Zubairu* you’re not even ashamed of the way you talk?

Is it your mother’s child that you want to replace? Because of a useless woman that doesn’t even have money?

A girl that only knows how to sleep? Is this the reason you’re doing this? Did someone beat *Bilqisu* and *Aisha* like this?"

He said "to *Umma* I’m not even going to continue this conversation, I’ll hang up my phone, because *Nana* isn’t well now and she needs more blood because there’s no blood left in her body."

Then *Umma* said "uhm are you listening? They won’t even leave her without blood, *Allah* please?

Or *Balaraba* doesn’t take after us? By *Allah* I swear if you don’t know the value of your younger sibling and her status, what about me?

*Ahmad* has never refused to talk to me, but you, you only know how to torture those who love you, you want those who torture you."

He didn’t hang up the phone until she finished scolding him. Then she kept quiet and he went out to look for blood.

They tested all the blood they found but none matched hers, so he got tired and went home and started hitting the wall on his brother’s side.

It was like from above I heard them knocking on our door.

At that time I was sleeping and woke up to pray. I was crying to *Allah* and my mouth was dry, so I drank some hot water and then I became normal but not like before.

He was still sleeping, I got up calmly and went to the back door in fear and started knocking softly saying "who is it".

Then from above I heard *Yaya Xubair*'s voice, and I quickly opened for him and said "welcome *Yaya Zubair*, is everything ok?"

He said "everything is not ok, *Nana* is in the hospital and right now she needs blood and we tested and didn’t find, so I came with *Ahmad* to see if his will match since his blood group is O."

I quickly said "subhanallillahi, let’s not waste time, let’s go, I’ll go and test to look for O. Mine and his are different, mine is Negative and his is Positive".

She said "there’s no need for that, go and tell her that my ears are buzzing".

I knew that if I told her she would scold me because of that, so I said "there’s nothing, let’s just go because since she started sleeping like that, I haven’t been able to sleep".

He didn’t say anything, we just went.

My whole body was trembling with pity for *Nana Khadija*, because since the little girl was born till today she hasn’t been well, she hasn’t even gone 5 full days without being sick.

And also because of her mother’s death, till now she hasn’t stopped…
