She slowly adjusted her posture, lowering her eyes from the elders' gaze and the old woman standing above them was telling them in her power and revealing her lack of love and what would follow the mistake they made at that time, while also teasing them with the burning pain that was coming.
The one standing above them was calling the one who gave birth to them motherly, meaning their father, their father, just like people call the one who gave birth to them by the name of father and mother,
They would not call him by the word father because he was the one who gave birth to them, not their father like any other father,
They differentiated between the words father and mother because they did not define what FATHER and mother meant in reality because they had never seen or received love, care, compassion, empathy or any other face that would assure them that they were their fathers, just like any other father.
But in reality, they are the ones who most accurately define the word father as referring to the one who gave birth to you because of his noble power to give birth to you and turn your life around as he sees fit in the most humiliating way and end up with dishonor and uselessness, which is the greatest event in their lives that they have proven in the world about the word father in their dreams.
The woman who gave birth to their father will not be called their grandmother directly because there is no warmth or love of blood that is expressed to them by the word grandmother that is called in their world,
Their mother, their mother, their mother, their white one in the world and their love and affection were slaves together, which is the origin of slavery in them because for years before their birth, she lived a life of slavery between her and her mother in humiliation because the one shoe he bought with money and wore, they were no longer respected in his house except for his mother who certainly saw that Anne was useless in their lives and the humiliation that came to them with the many daughters born to them in the house, there was no dignity or honor that they had in common with her,
After years of suffering and suffering from their father, they now find themselves with her in the bondage of slavery together,
They have no freedom and power over themselves except as their father did with their weak lives, even if he were to cut them to pieces and their body parts could not lift their heads or They should look at his face and his eyes, because they are more receptive to any kind of misfortune than to look up and look into their father's eyes, because to them, committing a great sin is like committing a great sin that could lead to disaster, worse than burning yourself with boiling water.
Sumayya, the most vulnerable of the four, slowly lowered herself again, her voice trembling with fear,
“We will fix it before he comes back. But for God's sake, please help Anne get the food before he comes back...”
She interrupted, slowly lying down in Dan's arms because she didn't want to waste her energy, life or time on their issues because their lives were already ruined, so she wouldn't waste her energy on what seemed like a dead, breathing life. She said,
"I don't care about breaking his law,
Your Annen will say that she hasn't been hungry for twenty years with Dori and her marriage to him?
You are her sister, you came from behind, you are hungry for her,
If she is going to be brave and live her life the way she did, I don't want to back down,
Go and wait for him to come back and get what you can, you don't know the new style and you don't know the difference.
All of them, no one raised their heads and listened to her fight, no one could Dagowa did not say a single word to them.
Anne, who was standing in a row with them like slaves standing before their queen, once again bowed her head with great respect and gave the head of their house patience because he was not a husband or a father like everyone else, he was the head of their house in the way they lived.
He himself did not hold back, he never looked at them as women and he looked at them like animals or slaves that one person bought with money and became a herd.
Hande did not say anything to them, she looked at where they were going, she was still focused on the message she was checking on her small phone and did not understand anything that was written.
Anne stood up and looked at her children slowly in a cold voice and told them to go.
There was no one whose body was not broken, they turned in a row like goat bones and followed their mother, their legs were not broken like Hausa noodles because of hunger and hardship. Dade and his bones were mixed with blood and organs their bodies.
