Sa'ada and her friend Aisha were at ward in free time talking over Sa'ada's plight.

  Sa'ada was expression her grief to Aisha about her marriage.

   Aisha shake her head; " well I Know this time will one day come, I told you to think over it before marrying him, the reason that will make Abu asked for a divorce isn't small things but you  repudiate."

  She sniffed a little and then continued "Seeing you together would be another reason, but not the sole reason to make Abu break her marriage, but you choose to ignore my words and close your eyes" Aisha said.

  "I already made a mistake, and am in pain, what I needed right now is a solution,  when Abu and Usman breakup, my thoughts is I will be happiest woman, not knowing his love for her is unpredictable" sa'ada said feebly.

   "So why not you asked for a divorce, since living with him is  torturing you" Aisha advice.

   She smirked; "how I wish i can do that, but leaving him will be killing me, I love him with all my heart, I can't do without him thought that is crushing me" she lamented.

   Aisha think for a while "Then why not you report him to his mum, I could remembered you once told me he listened to her and do all she wanted," Aisha insisted.

   Sa'ada smiled Masha Allah; "what a nice advice, that thought never cross my mind, even so she hate me but I will go insha Allah"

  Aisha! Matron Salma called

I think the break is over see you later Aisha said rosing up.

  Sa'ada called Usman and told him she wanted to visit Hajiya after work.

  He told her to wait for him at Hajiya's place he will pick her up after work.

*******

Hajiya was dejected to see sa'ada thought she's trying to concealed her feeling but her mien shows how displeased she was.

   Sa'ada was down and miserable seeing how Hajiya unwelcome her.

  Hajiya dislike Sa'ada if not because of Zainab she wouldn't let her son Marry a woman like sa'ada in her life she hate betrayers.

   Sa'ada felt like not complaining but burying will only make her plight worst, she could not go back without saying what is in her mind, for a time her mind was whirl, the silent grew distressing, Hajiya; Sa'ada began at last she said all she wanted.

  Hajiya do not say a word for sometime.

 Hajiya look at Sa'ada who was sitting down her feet "Ok I will speak to him, but you have to be patient marriage life is not easy, and reporting your partner to elder or complaining about your marriage life to others in most of the time did nothing but weaken your marriage."

  She snapped and then continued Please be like Zainab, she never express her difficulty to anyone am sure she never express her pain to you as her best friend,  she always overcome everything and deal with it her self.

   "If you want your Marriage to stick for long you have to learn to hold your secret, yes how you live with your man is scret."

   Sa'ada was exasperated she hate the fact that people like Abu better than her, just how can Hajiya said Zainab is better than she is.

    Hajiya seems to understand the sadness on Sa'ada's face...

  my dear I don't mean to hurt your feeling and  You don't have to worry, I will speak to him and my advice for  is you  have to be kind to him, there is nothing that soften human nature as much as kindness...

  ******

Usman dropped by later in the evening Sa'ada was in kitchen helping Baraka to concoct dinner.

   After Usman greated his Mum he sat in her feet and then asked about the time Sa'ada come.

   Hajiya was vexed,  "Usman what's wrong with you? So it's true you are feeling uncertainty about her integrity towards you, after all you  know doubting in marriage is Haram" Hajiya said beligerently.

    "Am sorry Hajiya is not like am doubting her just wanted to know the time she come" he mention lowering his head.

  Whatever! "But I want you to fear Allah, just because you are the leader of the House doesn't give you the power to entreat your wife."

"She is human just like you marrying her doesn't make her your made, treat her as you want your future son in-law to treat your daughters."

  "Hajiya did she told you am maltreating her? Am telling you she is lying." He asked at the same time depending himself.

Hmm Hajiya smirked; she don't have to complain, I already know who you are, and how bad you treated your women, am just telling you in case so that yo do not  make another mistake.

   He tried to make his voice as meek as possible.

  "Hajiya I changed a lot and will Insha Allah never made the mistake again."

  Where is she he mean Sa'ada she's in the kitchen Hajiya replied.

  Hajiya think for a while before saying about the kids I think it's time to take them back Hajiya suggested.

  But Hajiya...

" Dont say a ward I already decided, it better you raised them your self you will be leaving with them today, and you know how you live as a victim of broken family, you need to be careful and vigilance in raising them, make sure your wife treat them as she will treat her own blood" she cut him

  "I will speak to their mum you guys should never made the mistake we made don't destroy your kids kife," she added.

   Hajiya thought living with the kids will help him in keeping away some bad habit, if he see them every day he wouldn't be beating Sa'ada and if he is seeing them all the time he wouldn't forget about the fact that he is a Father and Father of two.

   The kids were delighted to know they are leaving with their Dad.

    Amira was like Yaya ummi so Hajiya will no longer see us to treat us cruelly ko?, Ummi smiled; yes na, we are leaving with Dad we will...
