Maman Nana adjusted her seat and said, "In my opinion, what we should do is go to Hajiya, our mother, and tell her that we want her to be patient with these customs because times have changed." Shamaki quickly responded, "If you give Hajiya the excuse of modern times, all your previous explanations will be invalid. You always need to provide evidence." Maman Iman replied, "Okay, you heard Maman Iman." Fatima added, "I don't even know what to think because Hajiya has already considered every angle. We should just go without evidence and ask her to abandon that custom, giving Afra as an example since she knows about the matter." Everyone fell silent, contemplating, and then turned to A'isha. She sighed and said, "In my opinion, we shouldn't go. Instead, we should prepare for the problem if it arises. For example, Shamaki should tell his wife that she is a virgin, and if blood is needed, we should have it ready. As for cooking, we can write instructions and send them to her via phone with Juma's help. This way, we avoid thinking about how she will perceive it and what judgment she will pass if we confront her." Everyone seemed to agree, but Shamaki said, "She has never asked for blood. Also, she can detect lies, and you know that would be worse for her. However, if you think she can understand the cooking part, we can do that." Maman Umar said, "I believe we should go and test her reaction. If we see she won't agree, we can drop the matter and pray. If this had come earlier, we would have had the girl learn cooking for at least a month." The discussion ended without a solution, but they decided to visit Hajiya's house the day after tomorrow to test the waters. Maman Afra left and returned, telling Maman Iman to bring the items to Hajiya's house. Maman Umar asked, "What items?" Maman Iman replied, "The ones from DIJANGALA ENTERPRISE that she has been praising." Maman Iman said, "Okay, Insha Allah, I will bring them." Shamaki sighed and prayed for a solution, feeling disheartened and praying for God's guidance. He headed home and arrived just as the Isha prayer was ending. He joined the prayer and then greeted the people as usual. Buhari, the messenger from A'isha's office, handed him some documents. Shamaki said, "Malam Buhari, I will review them at home and give you feedback tomorrow." Malam Buhari mentioned that there was an urgent one from Ujila, which needed signatures from both him and Hajiya. Shamaki agreed to discuss it with Hajiya. After greeting everyone, he went to Hajiya, who was praying with her rosary. He sat down and reviewed the urgent document. He thought he could help the girl because she shared his baby's name. He checked the phone numbers and was shocked to see the name he had given his baby, "My Love." He didn't need any more evidence. He set the document aside, knowing it would be a big problem if Hajiya saw it, and continued reviewing the others. Hajiya interrupted, asking if someone had entered. He quickly greeted her and asked about the market. She asked about his relatives, which surprised him. He wondered if someone had informed Hajiya about their meeting or if she had figured it out herself. He explained that the documents were for people needing furniture. She asked about the one he set aside. Nervously, he said it was from Maman Afra, who said it didn't meet the criteria, so he set it aside. She asked which number he took from the document. Sweating, he said it was from Maman Afra, Aunty A'isha. She told him to call her to confirm with Malam Buhari. He called A'isha, who confirmed the document but agreed it should follow the proper process. After the call, he told Hajiya that Maman Afra sent her greetings. Hajiya responded without looking at him. Azima asked what to serve him, and he requested water. Hajiya suggested he eat something cold as he seemed to be sweating. Shamaki, knowing Hajiya was suspicious, decided to take a shower. Hajiya asked him to leave the documents for her to review. Despite his anxiety, he agreed and accidentally scattered the documents, quickly gathering them with the problematic one in the middle. He went to his room, praying for guidance, and called Maman Umar to ask who informed Hajiya about their meeting. She was equally shocked and suggested he distract Hajiya with a story about her lover. He agreed, took a shower, and returned to Hajiya, who was drinking tea. He noticed the documents were still where he left them and wondered if Hajiya had reviewed them or if he was just scaring himself.
