He greeted, she answered him, then he entered and sat down on a chair. Iman went to Umma's room. As she entered, she said, "Umma! Yaya! He has arrived, he has arrived."
She didn't wait for what they would say, she said, "But anyway, we have met. Allah is truly great, because within just one hour, he gathered everything, including furfura [a Hausa drink]."
Umma pointed at her with her finger and said, "Get out of my sight. Whatever it is, make sure you are calm. I don't know this shivering of your body."
It was Umma who came out quickly. He stood up a little from the chair and greeted her. With cheerfulness, she said, "Aminu, how is your mother?"
With respect, he said, "She sends her greetings."
She went back inside, then Bilkisu came out and they greeted each other too. The pity of how she was in a wheelchair touched him a little. Then Iman brought him juice and water, and then she went upstairs to call Ibty, who from the very first moment she heard his voice while they were greeting Umma, her heart started beating three-three [very fast].
Iman entered while teasing her, but she didn't say anything. She took her veil and went back in front of the mirror and sat down, trying to catch her breath a little. Iman burst into laughter and said, "Ibty, don't go because of confusion and instead of saying 'how was your day,' you say 'how was your night.'"
She didn't answer her until she finished letting out the sigh in her chest, then she came out. Slowly, she came downstairs and sat at the far edge of the chair. Slowly, with patience, she said, "Ina wu..........."
Her eyes fell on him, and he too was looking at her in great surprise. She blinked with her eyes before she said, "Ya Aminu?"
He tilted his head a little, then put his hand and adjusted the white glasses on his face. He smiled and said, "Like Ainah's friend, right?"
She raised her head in surprise and said, "Are you the guest?"
Shyness covered him completely, but truly, Ummy, she didn't know who she would have paired him with if not Ainah's friend? He couldn't speak, and she too couldn't say anything.
Seeing that their sitting had no one saying anything, she said, "But Ainah doesn't know, right? I see we spoke on the phone and she didn't say anything."
He looked at her very well and said, "What are you rushing for?"
Her face full of surprise, she said, "Rushing for what?"
He looked at her well and said, "My little girl, why are you seeking marriage to a man who has been married before and even has two children?"
She shook her head quickly and said, "I am not rushing. It is Abba who said I should be a guest [accept the proposal]."
He folded his hands a little and said, "Didn't you ask about the size of the guest [what kind of man he is]?"
Slowly, she raised her head before she said, "Umma told me you have children."
"And?"
"I said okay."
"Just 'okay'? He asked her while looking at her."
