"Oh people of the Prophet, bring me something to carry, I’m not even sweating and no one is helping me, but when it comes to the fridge I’m the one who carries." That’s what Inna said in a loud voice until her ears were ringing. She really hates it when people talk. She was complaining because the girls were lazy, so she went and lifted everything herself and no one was there to help her carry. She was angry and that’s why she was talking like that.
"Halimatus Sa'adiyya, you should have opened the fridge before I came back, so that I can bring you and Malam food and water." Asharofa, she came out just after her mother’s Zakat. "Inna said to the girls and sat down, tired. She started talking to herself and saying things that made people laugh. She had a childish way of talking."
"You, Azumi, this girl is the youngest child of her father, a small girl who grew up in wealth and wasn’t used to doing housework. But now she’s the one carrying things. ZAMAN WANKA is not easy and you know it." She said that because she knew Inna was tired from carrying on her head because of the work.
"That’s why I told you to bring it and put it in the fridge carefully and gently." Azumi said to the child, and she went and brought a small piece of ice from the freezer that gave off cold. "Come, let her carry it so she can cool down a bit because of the heat." She said while her body was still shaking.
"By God, in this house of the fridge, there’s a law that when I see something, I see it in a place. I can’t find anything in the freezer, I’m just wandering around. Even if I put something in a bag and hang it, and then I look for it and can’t find it, or if I tell someone to put it somewhere for me, they’ll put it in a different place. I didn’t even say anything, I just said ‘Azumi, it seems like Allah has given me rest, and I have a little rest, and a little rest is what I have.’"
She said that because she was tired. Her body was already hot from the sun and she was very thirsty, and her hands couldn’t lift anything. Inna was sweating and her face was red from the heat, her mouth was dry from thirst, and she was exhausted, but she kept talking to herself and would enter the fridge and close it and if she didn’t do it properly, the fridge would stay open and no one would know.
The kids in the room heard the sound of the freezer door that Inna was opening and closing. They ran out and when they saw their mother, they were all scared and started crying. The older ones calmed the younger ones. Mama’s children are used to their aunt Imran’s wife being strict and serious.
Because of her seriousness and the fact that she was their aunt, the girls were afraid of her. She entered the room to talk to them but because of fear she just scolded them without them understanding. This little thing that she did made them cry even more, and they started shouting and calling their mother. The girls did things that would make their aunt angry, and because of that, she would get upset with them. Inna, without even washing her hands, went to calm them. She tried to talk to them but they were still crying and on top of that, the fridge was still open.
Everyone inside started shivering because someone would touch her now. She was like a grinding stone. One of the neighbor’s children came and said she was going to the market, and that’s when she left everything and went with her. The girls thought she was going to beat them, but when she came back, the girls were already asleep, and Inna was sitting there fanning herself because of the heat. The girls were already used to her scolding, so they weren’t scared. When she saw the girls sleeping, she felt pity for them and stopped being angry. She went to wash her face and prayed two rakats of prayer, then she went back to check on the food in the kitchen. She hid her anger and didn’t say anything to their father about it.
