Huda And Her Elder Sister

My elder sister was inside the house washing the beans she wanted to use for making
awara when she called me.

I looked at him angrily and said:

“Move away. I want to close the house because of thieves.”

I did not wait for anything. I pushed the door forcefully. I heard him hiss loudly.

Quickly, I returned and opened the door again. By then, he had already opened his car and
was about to enter.

I called him loudly, the same way I had heard my mother call him.

“Lawyer!”

He turned and looked at me.

My mother had returned without me knowing. I laughed mischievously again.

He hissed quietly and came back angrily. I gave him way to enter, while I went and stood
close to his car.

When I saw him come out, I gathered my skirt and ran away because I knew my mother was
no longer there. His hiss had annoyed me.

I did not return to the alley until I was sure he had left the neighborhood. Then I went
to answer the call my elder sister had been making.

She gave me the ground beans to take to her. After that, she sieved the awara mixture
and placed it on the fire.

Mama Returns With Clothes

My mother returned holding a nylon bag of hot flour snacks. I quickly collected it from
her while laughing.

She brought out a mat and spread it before removing the items inside the bag.

They were bedding materials, the kind she usually received from where she worked.

She gave me my own portion and then gave my elder sister what belonged to her. I became
very happy and thanked her repeatedly.

Huda Protects Her Sister’s Awara Business

As soon as I came out of the house, the boys gathered around my elder sister’s awara pan
began to scatter.

I did not trust any of them because most of them were only eating my elder sister’s food
without paying properly. She did not talk much, so she would simply leave them. But when
I was present, even if you hid under your mother’s bed, I would follow you and collect
my money.

If you ate my sister’s awara of ten naira, I could go all the way to your house and drag
away your goat. If you had no goat, I could carry your cooking pot and leave with it.
Even if the whole world gathered, I would never reveal where I kept it until the money
was paid.

I did not keep such things in our house because my mother might tell me to return them.

Shafi’u, our neighbor’s son, saw the awara and started picking and eating without
counting. I fixed my eyes on him. Even after I sat down, he did not know I had arrived.

When he was full, he stood up, dusted his clothes, brought out ten naira, and placed it
on the tray.

He said:

“Saa, here is your money. You still owe me fifteen naira.”

“Your father’s head! It is twenty-five naira,” I said, holding my waist.

He quickly looked at me, smiling foolishly, and said:

“Haba, Hudata. I meant she still owes me fifteen naira. I have the rest in my pocket, and
she will now owe me fifty.”

I said:

“Oh, I thought you ate twenty-five naira worth.”

He smiled widely.

“No, not me. I know how to calculate.”

He searched his pocket, brought out the remaining money, and handed it to her. Then he
left, dusting his hands and looking at me.

I returned to my place and sat down.

My elder sister looked at me as if she wanted to tell me to leave, but she was afraid of
me. She knew that if I sat there, she would not sell much because people were afraid of me.

Barrister Mahmud Warns Barrister Shehu

“Barrister Shehu, what you are planning to do is not right at all. It is oppression and
betrayal. A woman trusted you and handed over her husband’s property to you, and now that
the money has come out, you want to cheat them.

“If you will not help them, then you should not oppress them.”

Shehu dropped the phone and turned in shock, looking at Mahmud, who stood watching him
with his arms folded across his chest.

Out of shame, Shehu said:

“So what if I betray her? She is my father’s younger sister. Mahmud, I can do anything
for money.”

Mahmud replied:

“And I, Barrister Mahmud, say that as long as I am alive, I will not allow you to commit
this betrayal.”

Shehu asked:

“What concerns you with my life? Stay away from this matter. Why did you not go and help
them since her husband died? Why are you now coming to preach to me?”

Mahmud answered:

“Because she trusted someone she should not have trusted.”

After saying that, he moved close to Shehu’s table, took the documents he needed, picked
up his briefcase, and left.

Barrister Shehu hissed. He gathered his things and also left the office. From there, he
went straight to Huda’s family house.

Shehu Meets Huda Again

In the alley, he saw people fighting with Huda. She had climbed on top of a boy’s stomach
and was beating him while the children shouted and encouraged her.

He hissed.

In his heart, he thought that if she were the one being beaten like that, nothing would
make him separate them. He would prefer that she be killed so everyone could rest, because
it was clear the girl was beginning to interfere in his affairs.

With that thought, he reached the place. He pulled her off the boy forcefully and slapped
her.

The slap hit her deeply.

She raised her head and stared at him. Then she picked up a big stone and threw it at
the glass of his car.

Immediately, the glass shattered.

He turned quickly, but she disappeared like lightning.

He hissed and smiled wickedly again before entering the house. Since the house had no
fence, he entered directly without any barrier.

Shehu Talks To Huda’s Mother

After greeting each other, Shehu told Huda’s mother that the money from her late husband,
Malam Ibrahim’s work settlement, had been released.

He explained that he was preparing to withdraw it from the bank the following day and
would bring it to them the day after.

She said:

“Leave it in your hands, Lawyer. If you bring it to us, where will we keep it? I am sure
you will not cheat us. So leave it with you. Just give us something small to add to our
business capital, please.”

He smiled and said:

“No, Hajiya. I will bring the money so you can see it. After two days, I will come back
to collect it, because I am already planning to buy a house for you. Tenants will be
placed there, and every year they will be paying you rent.”

She asked:

“But I am thinking of where we will keep the money, Lawyer.”
