About this Novel
"Honestly, this matter is starting to turn into something else."
Hajiya Kaltume said this while one of the visitors asked,
"Are you sure she doesn’t have high blood pressure?"
"That’s exactly what I was thinking," Ammah replied.
Not long after, Hamza and Imam entered the house, while outside, Abdul Hakeem brought the car around. Zilai and Sahura helped her (Mama) into the car and they went outside with her. Aunty Hasana followed them out.

Everyone there was surprised by this great gift given to the bride’s mother. Even the women from the neighborhood who came to visit were amazed as they helped unpack the wedding gifts. Everyone kept praying for blessings over the gifts.
