Yau sai ta ji hatta Kiki din abin kunya ne babba ta tambaye ta lambar Hamma. Amma har gara ta murje ido ta tambayi Kiki, a kan dai ta tambayi Nenne.
“Kiki am, nace ba, ko zaki ba ni lambar Hamma don Allah, ina cikin damuwa, tunda ya tafi ya kirani sau daya bai kara kira na ba, ni ma kuma nayi wani kuskure da ban kira shi ba, na dauka nayi saving no. din tun a lokacin, ai yanzu na duba ban ganta ba, a tsammanina zai kira again, sai inyi saving to amma yanayin da yake ciki nasan shi ya hana bai kira din ba”.
Kiki was shocked da wannan ganganci zata ce ko childishness na Aisha. Ta ce,
“Aisha me ki ke cewa? Sati biyu ba ki ji motsin mijinki ba, kuma ba ki kira shi ba ke? Sannan ba ki da digits dinshi a wayarki?
To kenan ashe duk shawarwarin da na bata lokacina na baki ma babu wanda ki ka dauka kika gudanar kenan?

Jikin Aisha duk ya idasa macewa, dama kuma ko kafin ta kira Kiki Rukayyat, duk ta yi wadannan hasashen itama, Kiki ta ce,
“Lallai ne yanzu Uncle ke bukatar kulawarki da soyayyarki Aisha. Ya yi rashin masoyin da bai da kamarsa”.
Nan Kiki ta shiga bai wa Aisha labarin irin kaunar da ke tsakanin Sarki da Hamma. Ta gaya mata hatta dokinsa Saheeb data gani yana matukar so, da daya matashin ‘Criollo Horse’ din, duk kyauta ce ta musamman daga Emir zuwa gare shi.

Kiki ta turo mata lambobin ta hanyar text message, ta kara da turo mata sakon text.

A take ta rubuta sakon text ta tura wa Prince. Sakon ya kunshi ta’aziyyah zallah a kan rashin da ya yi, da fatan Allah ya bashi hakuri da danganar musulunci, ya kuma jikan Maimartaba Sarki.
A kasan sakonta ta rubuta sunanta;
“Aisha-Siddiqah Yunus”.
Prince bai bude wayarsa ba sai da ya zo kwanciya barci, bayan fitar Taiwo kenan daga masaukinsa, yau ne aka yi sadakar bakwai, kuma har ya soma shirin komawa Argentina.
Yanzu Taiwo ta bar masaukinsa tana masa wasu maganganu da suka ba shi haushi da mamaki, ko dai Taiwo ta manta irin rashin da yayi ne da ta zo tana masa wannan shirmen?
“Kehinde, yanzu saboda Allah don zubar da aji da barar da kima, yarinyar nan mai kama da kazar mayu ka dau hoto da ita ka dora a status? Ka san iya mutanen da zasu bude?

Dan bude idanu ya yi a hankali wadanda duk sun kankance, yana kallon ‘yar uwar tagwaitakarsa Taiwo Akanni, his very own twin sister Taiwo. Sai ya rasa amsar da zai bata, domin tambayarta ta fi kama da crossing limit da shiga personal marital affair dinsa.

Abdulrasheed sai ya bude idanunsa gaba daya yana kallon ‘yar uwar tasa da mamaki da tsoro. Da kyar ya iya motsa bakinsa da yayi masa nauyi, don magana ma wahala ta ke masa tun bayan rashin Emir, yace,

Da wannan Prince ya maida bakinshi ya dinke. Ya ki kara kallonta. Ya maida hankali ga kunna wayarsa dake kashe tun safe.
Taiwo sai ta ji kamar bakar magana ce Kehinde yau ya gaya mata a kan mace. Macenma wannan mara aji irin Siddiqah, wadda ba diyar kowa ba.
Wato Kehinde ya fara sanin dadin mace har ya dube ta yau ya gaya mata baqar magana irin haka akan Siddiqah?
A take Taiwo taji ta kara tsanar matar dan uwanta. Kwafa ta yi ta mike tana cewa,
“Kehinde maida wukar I came in peace in dai akan ‘yar Malam Shehu ne. Abinda ya kawo ni gareka ma ba zancenta bane rabon in samu rabon bakar magana ne.
Inata so in gaya maka tuntuni cewa I met Hasina coincidently. She explained to me all what happened between she and Tukumbo. She made a mistake and she realized it. She is haunted. How much she hurt you had been haunting her. Tana ta neman yadda za ta ba ka hakuri but to no avail. Daga baya ta yi aure har sau biyu a UK ta fito, ta ce min ta tabbata alhakinka ne ya hana ta zaman aure. Ina rokonka ka yafe mata, ta ci albarkacina”.
Prince ya ce a dan hassale,
“Maman Kiki ba ni da say a kan wannan batun da ki ka zo da shi, sai dai in ce, please! Please!! Don’t mention that bitch again to me, idan kin yafe mata is okay ni ma na yafe, domin kada ki manta abin da ya yi Kehinde shi ya yi Taiwo”.
Da sauri Taiwo ta ce, “A da ba… kafin ka samu abun hutawa, amma a yanzu kana neman canzawa ne completely daga Kehinde dina”.
Kehinde din sai ya yi shiru har Taiwo ta yi tsaki ta wuce yana mamaki. Me ya shiga kan Taiwo dinsa ne? Tunda aka yi masa auren nan ta ke acting kamar ta samu tabin hankali a kan matarsa.
