*_"After that, I calmed the women down and went home with peace of mind.
Things got even worse for us when we paused the wedding plans. The groom’s side stopped coming around and his calls stopped going through. At that time my mind started getting troubled by things. The first thing was how some people in the town and others who weren’t getting married were spreading rumors that Babbanmu had money and that he took Halisa and gave her to a friend after their boyfriends, whom they had been dating for a long time, couldn’t marry them because they had no money. The second thing was how the marriage issue was getting delayed from the groom’s side.
I told Babansu Madina about the situation I was in. Then he told me he would go abroad to hustle so he could send money to finish the wedding. I told him to just be patient, that I would also be patient until he came back. He said I shouldn’t worry because he had already spoken to them before leaving, that as soon as he returned he would bring the lefe and bride price for the wedding.__
__Hearing this from Babansu Madina made me calm down and I called the women together again and calmed them down with peace of mind. To be honest, after a few days I went to Babansu Madina’s and he told me the truth, that he was going and would send it for me, In sha Allahu. My mind was at peace again.
On the other hand, my relationship with Maryam got stronger because there was nothing troubling me like before. And if there was anything bothering me, I would consult her and she would also consult me, and she always gave good advice. That’s how it was — anything troubling me, I would look for a way to sort it out and tell her. If she understood that the problem was money or something else, I swear she would send me money to my bank account. By God, she had faith in me because of wealth, and her husband was even richer than her.
Babansu Madina’s friends are also like that, everyone according to his means, and they help each other a lot. Babansu Madina has wealth that is almost equal to Alhaji Amadun’s, but not quite."_*
