Ko ka yi fadan ba abin da zai canza ta. Akwai mutane irinta da yawa da ba sa son kowa ya rabe su, they will act absent mindedly, su rasa tsinkayensu da tunaninsu.

Ya ce, “No, it will take time, mu je in sama miki abin da za ki ci, ki ci a gabana ki koshi, sannan mu je mu dauko su Basman mu koma gidaâ€.
Wani gidan cin abinci ya kai ta, ya tula mata kayan dadi a gabanta, irin wanda ba ta taba ci ba. A gefe ga Pizza, Shawarma da kazar Kentucky fried chicken. Ta ci iya cinta, ta kora da sassanyan Pepsi, ta yi gyatsa, ta yi hamdala. Ya yi wa su Khaleesat guzurin nasu suka tafi, Khaleesat aka fara dauka a makarantarsu ta islamiyya da yake in ta tashi daga boko islamiyya ta ke shiga wadda ta ke daura da makarantar bokon nasu, ita da Yesmin, ta wasu larabawan Libya. Sannan suka dau hanyar Boston University bayan Daddy ya kira Basma yace kada ta biyo Vangasu nan zuwa daukarta.

A kalla dai ba su sabawa uwarsu ba tunda ba su suka gaya masa ba. Abin da ya sa Basma ma ba ta damu sosai ba kenan a kai, ta san jami’ar Boston wil not take that any longer they will trace for Aalimah (bazasu dau wannan ba, zasu bi bayan Aalimah). Ta yi mamaki ma da aka dauki tsawon wannan lokacin. Tana ganin Aalimah a motar sai Ehoo! Ta rungume ta tana ta faman sambatu.
“Aal, are you alright? We are sorry Aal, we can’t do anything for youâ€.
Harararta Daddy ya yi sosai, mai dauke da maganar da ba sai ya furta ba.
Da sauri ta ce, “I’m sorry Dad, she’ll throw a tantrum (zata yi balbalin bala’i) (tana nufin Mamanta)â€. Ya girgiza kai kafin ya ce.
“Wannan na nufin kun fi jin tsoron Mamanku a kainaâ€.
“Of course, Dadâ€. In ji su duka su biyun har suna hada baki.
Dariya ya yi, a ransa yana fadin, ni kaina wani lokacin tsoron nata nake ji, amma this time around za ta gane kurenta. Yesmin ba ta san bikin da ake ba, tana ta kokawa da robar ice-cream dinta. Aalimah ta baiwa kowacce ledar takeaway dinta. A cikin motar suka hau ci don duka yunwa suke ji.

“I can estimate (zan iya kintatawa)â€. In ji Aalimah ba tareda ta dago ba tana kokarin hudawa Yesmin lemo.
Daddy yana jinsu yana jin dadi a ransa, zumuncin Basma da Aalimah yana yi masa dadi, ‘yarsa Basma haka ta ke, zuciyarta a bude ta ke, kuma ba ta boye duk abin da ke zuciyarta,whilstKhaleesa ‘yarI don’t carece, though she’s nice too (yayin da Khaleesat mai halin ko’in kula ce, duk da haka tana da kirki).
“Bazan ba ki hakuri kan abinda ba ni da laifinsa ba Aal, Mummy tana da kirki, amma wani lokacin ba ka gane kanta. Na tabbata za ta zo ta so ki idan ta gane kyawawan dabi’unki. Ban taba ce miki komai ba, tunda Mummy ta fara abinnan, ina jira ne sai Daddy ya sani. I’m sorry Aalâ€.

“Ai haka ta ke da mita kaman tsohuwaâ€. In ji Khaleesat.
Dariya suka yi ita da Khaleesat, Basma ta harare ta. Daddy uffan bai ce musu ba, shi kadai yake sakawa yana warwarewa a ransa na matakin da zai dauka a kan Mummy, yana kuma tunanin maganganun da suka yi shi da Aalimah. yarinya karama na koyar da shi ‘psychology’.

Sanda suka shigo ita kadai suka hango zaune a dining tana shan wani damammen abu cikin kofi kaman oat, Yesmin ta yi wajenta tana kai mata ledar takeaway da suka taho mata da shi. Ido ta daga tana kallonsu one-by-one bayan ta hambare Yesmin ita da ledar tata.
Ta kan Basma ta fara don me ta kashe wayarta tana so ta tambaye ta karfe nawa za ta gama lectures ta dauko ta, shi ne ta sa ta yi wahalar banza? Sai ta koma kan Khaleesat, uban wa ya ce su taho ba su jira ta ba bayan sun san za ta zo daukansu kamar kullum? Sannan ta dawo kan Aalimah, har huci ta ke yi.

Ko tari babu wadda ta yi a cikinsu, ‘ya’yanta sun zuba mata ido, Aalimah ta sunkuyar da kai kasa sai hawaye ta ke yi. Ba ta saba da fada ba, ko Mamansu duk zafinta hadawa ta ke da nasiha. Mummy fada ta ke kamar ta ari baki ba wanda ta bari a cikinsu. She’s doing it fiercely kamar babu mijinta uban ‘ya’yanta a tsaye a cikinsu.
Wata tsawa da Ishaq Razee ya daka mata sai da ta sa Aalimah karasa fashewa da kuka, Yesmin kuma ta yi tsalle a sittin ta kankame Basma. Shi ma ya bude nasa famfon yi yake kamar zai doke ta. Duk yadda suka yi da Aalimah na cewa, he will act smart ya kasa. Da ma an ce mai hakuri bai iya fushi ba.

Yanzu kamar Zulaiha mai manyan samari da ‘yammata ta tsaya tana wannan haukan just because ya kawo ‘yar dan uwansa gidansa?
Tun yana yi da turanci har ya saki ya koma da buzanci, ya koma harshensa Temachek, ya saki ya koma Francaise. A karshe ya ce,
“Please kindly get out of my mansion, go to the one who has no relatives, but I belong to IBRAHEEM RAAZI’S. I couldn’t scratch them from me for your selfish interest and your personal satisfaction. Is that clear? (Don Allah ki bar min gidana, ki tafi ga wanda bashi da dangi, amma ni jinin Razee ne, bazan iya ciresu daga jikina ba sabida son kai irin naki da biyan bukatar ranki)Ko sai na sake maimaitawa?â€
A kidime ta dago ta dube shi, he’s no longer her silent Ishaq. Wannan sassanyan mutumin mai kama da ko cokali aka sa masa a baka bazai ciza ba.Gabadaya ya hautsine mata ya koma cikakken buzunsa.
