with me to harm a child I promised his mother to care for? What kind of heart do you have?"

The workers approached them, but Adam stopped them because Rumaisa said something very important.

"You know what connected me to you in the first place, and I haven’t withdrawn what I said. I will never back down. Sabir, you can take him to the ends of the earth, do whatever you think is right. I have never hated anything in the world more than you. Even the bandits who once captured me respected me. Because of what you said about me, that I would conspire to harm your child, thank you. From today, I will never come to your house again, in sha Allah. If I am a legitimate daughter, if Mama gave birth to me, if Usman and the others are my siblings, I will never come to this house again," she said with a clear tone and then added in a disjointed manner. She turned and headed to the gate, crying.

Adam felt remorseful. Indeed, some of his words were harsh.

She quickly left, crying, taking another path. Even if she was to be killed, she wouldn't ride in his car. An intense hatred for him continued to consume her heart. Anyone who would try to separate her from Sabir was her greatest enemy.

Adam went to Mummy's section, thinking and occasionally smiling.

Mummy looked at him and said, "Tell me about this smile. Are you happy about coming back?"

He smiled again and said, "I met a girl when I came in. I saw her again when I went out. Her demeanor and character are quite amusing."

Mummy looked at him calmly and said, "Are you falling in love?"

"Love? She's just a young girl, but the things she said surprised me. She claimed to be the one who brought back the baby everyone is talking about, Aisha Turaki's child. She came to see her son and said we shouldn’t let her in again. The girl is very bold. Her words are not typical for her age. There is foolishness in her words, but there is also wisdom in her foolishness. What surprised me the most was how she held my shirt confidently and accused me, thinking I was that guy."

Confused, Mummy asked, "You mean the girl who brought Aisha’s baby here? You said she’s just a young girl?"

"Yes, you would know better since you are in the house. I don’t know much about the story. All I know is that she is a girl who put up quite a fight. I don’t think she is older than thirteen, in my opinion."

"What! You mean a thirteen-year-old brought the baby everyone says is Adam’s? These people are really bold. How could a thirteen-year-old rescue a baby from bandits?"

Mahmud shrugged and said, "I don't know."

"But wait, is the girl still here? I need to see her."
