I saw some children in a large hall, you could see they were villagers, they were looking at the hall and praising its beauty and order, one of them said “The woman of the house is really happy, look at her house as if she had built it herself? A house like a paradise on earth?”
Hajiya Adama said "You teachers, be quiet to the people, I brought you to a house of work or a house of noise? What do you have to do with the women of the house, are they happy or not? Do you think Ummita will take care of me? Don't say that I don't see it? I just work hard, and don't let any money that is given to you be willing to spend it, save it until I come and say yes". . . . .
She was silent when the woman of the house came out, she looked very beautiful in her expensive lace, which you see only if you are told and you don't know if the money will not fall.
Ummita kept looking at the woman as if she was going to steal her, a beautiful woman like her, but God had given her the world, that is, money.
Before she sat down, Hajiya Adama quickly crouched down and waited for the woman.
The woman was not proud, she answered with a relaxed face, she spoke but Ummita was looking at her mouth because almost three of her teeth were all the teeth of Mecca.
Ummita hesitated while looking at the woman, she felt that it was God who had given her this gift, then she felt as if she had stood up and sat on the chair and said that she was also the wife of the house, but she knew that even if she was crazy, that would never be possible.
While she was thinking about Hajiya Adama touching her, she quickly came to her senses and bowed her head, because she saw that the woman had also seen her.
Hajiya Adama smiled and said “Hajiya, these are the children I brought for you to do the work.”
She pointed to Ummita and said, “This is her name Ummita. They are originally from Shuwa Arabs. They came to this town with no one and nothing. Her mother asked me to find her a job so she could start working. They are hiding their secrets. Her name is Khairat. She is Ummita's sister. She has one mother and one father.”
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "May God bless you, okay?".
She said, “Ummita.”
Since Ummita started looking at this woman, she still hasn't stopped, thinking of her as a fool and a child.
They were in this situation. A beautiful girl came in, but she didn't meet Ummita, because she was no older than 16. Ummita would be nineteen, and her sister would be twenty-two or even older.
Ummita looked at the girl with a look. As you know, Arab girls are all beautiful and attractive, so men are attracted to them.?????
The girl ran and hugged this beautiful woman, and you see, you don't have to be told that it is her daughter, because they look so much like they were torn apart, except that her little girl just came out.
The beautiful girl looked at them and said "Mom, who are these?".
She said this with excitement, like a baby girl. The woman held out her hand and placed the girl's head on her lap like a baby.
Ummita stared at them, wondering how excited this girl was, how big she was and she was placed on her lap? Surely something other than money, because even if she was crazy, she couldn't afford to put it on her mother's lap, because in the morning everyone would catch up and go looking for it, and at night they would return from the begging, right after their mother gave birth to them.
The woman caressed her daughter's head and began to speak with care, “Baby, this is Ummita, and Khairat can be your daughter because she is not a worker. You know that a person is more valuable than anything else. They will only help us with some errands, since you left me, you are at home.”
Baby looked up and Ummita said.
"hi"!
my name is Zahra Muhammad Aliyu."
she said this with a smile on her face.
Hajiya Adama was very happy, because the news of the woman and the child she was holding, namely Baby, her deceased niece.
I know you will be surprised if I say that Baby is not the daughter of this woman, Baby's mother died due to giving birth to her, and Halima is Baby's mother's sister, after she died, Baby's father married Halima, since Baby was a little girl, Halima has been holding her, until now she is almost 16 years old.
Halima brought a lot of money and gave it to Hajiya Adama, Hajiya Adama replied gratefully, until her heart felt bad for her, because it is rare to find people with money and a good heart, some people with money consider the poor as a bad thing, or something to be hated. While in the eyes of God, we are all the same, and if God gives you wealth, then he does not give it to you alone, so that you can help his community, not only you and your wife Your children, no one, not even their parents, are helping, may God fill us with faith, Amen.
