An old woman is sitting by a tree, leaning her back against it while stroking the hair of a girl lying on her lap. The girl is no more than 20 years old, lying as if asleep, when she hears her mother crying! Startled, she sits up and asks, "Mother, are you okay? What happened to you?" In tears, the old woman says, "Ayush, I want you to help me seek forgiveness from God; I have made a great mistake in my life, I feel like I am going to die, Ayush! I will die without seeking forgiveness from Junaid." At the same time, she bursts into a heart-wrenching cry. "Mother, please stop crying, I don't want to see you like this. Who is this JUNAID? And what did you do to him that you are saying such terrible things about yourself because of him?" With tears streaming down her face, Ayush says, "Mother, if you don't tell me what is troubling you, how can I help you with prayers when I don't know the sin you committed?" In frustration and biting her lip, the mother looks at Ayush, who is also looking at her mother. "Ayush! I hate myself; if you hear my story, I am sure you will hate me too. I will tell you, but before that, I want you to forgive me, please," she says, looking at Ayush with compassion. Surprised, Ayush replies in a weak voice, "And me, Mother? I know you haven't done anything to me; everything you did was out of love, you cannot hurt me, my mother, so I forgive you in this world and the hereafter." With a bitter smile, the mother says, "Ayush, right now my life has no value; I am ready to die, but I pity you because when I die, I don't know what state you will be in. Ayush, I have no relatives, I have no one; people run away from me because I have not done anything good, that is why my sin affects you, everyone hates us." She points to a room and continues, "You know that this is our bedroom; since you were a baby, we have been in this forest! You have often asked me where your FATHER is, WHO are your relatives, but I couldn't answer you so that you wouldn't hate me. But now I am ready to face any challenge." She takes a deep breath and softly says, "AYUSH." In a soft voice, Ayush responds, "Yes, Mother, I am listening to you," her face is all wet with tears as she speaks. She continues, "I want to see you married and have children, Ayush, you have a beautiful heart, you are compassionate; I do not wish for you to inherit my character even in a single atom, and I do not want you to inherit your father's character either, let alone our traits." She bursts into another heart-wrenching cry! Ayush also cries, hugging her mother and gently patting her back to comfort her, in a soft voice she says, "Mother, let me have this story if it will make you cry; I don't want anything that will make you cry, my mother, I love you very much." The mother separates herself from Ayush, wiping her tears and says, "No, Ayush, if I do not express what is troubling me, I will not find peace. I will tell you who I am. First, my name is AGATHA; I am not a Muslim, I am originally from Ghana, I lost my parents due to a motor accident, I have no one left because of the lack of kinship between them and their relatives, that is why they never told me that I have relatives, and I did not care to know that. I only know that my father is a Christian, and my mother is a Muslim, but my father dominated her to become a Christian, which caused a rift between my father's relatives and my mother. As a result, no one cared for me, which led me to enter the world of prostitution, where I was living in indulgence and dressing up. While in this situation, God brought me together with a wealthy servant of God, who took me out of this situation I was in. He helped me in life and then converted me to Islam; I became a Muslim because of him, and he changed my name to BARA'ATU. He is from Nigeria, and business took him to Ghana. I spent almost a year with him, but nothing ever happened between us; I followed all the ways to seduce him, but he refused. I also had a strong desire, and I fell deeply in love with him. All the burdens on him fell on me, even the money I would spend came from him. One day, while he was sitting and calculating his expenses, I resolved in my heart to tell him that I love him and want to marry him. After I told him, he did not show any sign of displeasure, but he refused to accept my marriage proposal. Do you know what he told me?" She finished her statement while asking Ayush. Ayush shook her head in disbelief, looking at her mother with surprise. She continued, "I was disappointed by what he told me. Hmmmm! She sighed and said, "He said he left his wife in Nigeria with his son; he does not want to marry again to avoid problems! Then he said he would take me to his house as his wife's assistant." Ayush widened her eyes in shock, looking at her mother, unable to find words. Then she heard her mother say, "At that time, I resolved in my heart that I would separate him from his wife because I was very jealous of him, and I followed the path to marry him. I followed him until we returned to Nigeria, where he introduced me to his wife, Doctor Fateemah, a kind woman, who is not troublesome, and his son named Junaid, who was a small boy at the time, not more than 10 years old. The rich man did not hide anything from his wife about how we met, but he did not tell her that I loved him. I started working in the house as an assistant, and they paid me a salary every month." The mother paused her story, becoming silent as if thinking about something, then she smiled bitterly. She continued, "At that time, I sought a powerful sorcerer, a great magician of the world, through a certain woman with whom we formed a friendship. We traveled a long distance to reach the sorcerer, my friend and I. We found him, but it was a very dangerous place; not everyone goes into the forest except those with great strength. I approached him with the story of the rich man, and the sorcerer laughed in a complicated way and told me that I must provide him with three things before he fulfills my request. First, I must give him 100 Bs, second, I must provide him with the blood of a male child to fulfill his other request.
