Ran Adam ya gama baci, yace "na gaya maka ban dauki Fatima da ciki ba, babu ciki a jikin ta sanda na ganta, babana ko ni bamu da hannu a batan babyn Fatima" Lukman yace "baban naka da a yanzu kake furucin cewa zai iya kisa?

Bai yi ba, kuma ba zan taba xewa yayi ba no matter how much I don't like him. If you like kayi min komai and I assure you I will be the last person da zakayi wa sharri, I will be the last person da ke" ya fada yana nuna Ruqayyah da hannu yace "zaki yiwa sharri"

Lukman yace "wannan ya nuna irin zafin zuciyar da kake dashi.

Alkali ya gama rubuce rubucen sa sannan yace "kotu ta dage karar zuwa mako mai zuwa, kafin na za'a sake mayar da Ruqayyah a kuma duba kwakwalwar ta kamar yadda masu kara suka bukata, sannan court ta bayar da order a rike Adam Clement a hannun yan sanda har zuwa sanda za'a gudanar da bincike a kansa"

Sumayya ta mike da sauri "karya suke yi masa wallahi" ta juya gurin Ruqayyah, "ta hanyar da kika ɓullo kenan? Ta inda kike tunanin zaki rama kenan? Dan na auri Hassan shine zaki yi sanadin da za'a rufe Adam?" Adam ya koma ya jingina da jikin kujerar da yake zaune akai ya rufe idonsa.
