In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Jidderh's wedding, she asked, "Why hasn't Baba arrived yet? I've been waiting at the door for ages." 

Mlm Kabiru, sensing the tension, inquired about the situation between them.

He said, "They're on their way, where did you go wandering off to?" 

Jidderh explained, "It's Inna Saude, she sent me a message saying that she's stuck in traffic,

 so I went to fetch her, and now I'm back waiting at the door. The groom's family is getting impatient."

It was indeed a truthful statement, the girl was without a care.

Salis, however, could not comprehend the seriousness of the situation.

Mlm Kabiru sighed, "Come on, let's go in and wait."

They entered, and Jidderh went straight to Kamal, wiping away tears.

Mlm Kabiru tried to reassure him, "Just be patient, I know it's not easy, but trust me, fate has its way, and the groom will come for you. And if there are challenges ahead, we'll face them together."

Salis nodded, saying, "Of course, I understand."

Kamal, on the other hand, was restless, unable to keep still.

Mlm Kabiru offered him some water, saying, "God willing, she'll be here soon. We'll wait here until she arrives."

Kamal, with a heavy heart, asked, "Shall we sit here, in one place, or should we go to her home?"

Salis interjected, "There's no need to worry, we'll call her family for assistance. God willing, we'll wait just as she said."

Mlm Kabiru added, "There's no need for you to stay indoors, my boy."

Then, what Salis feared came to pass as Kamal's impatience got the better of him.

"Saude!! ~Saude!! where are you? I went to fetch you from the city, only to find it overrun by chaos," Jidderh exclaimed.

Saude's eyes widened in surprise, "You went to fetch me? By God, if your mother knew, she'd scold you for leaving the house. But worry not, I'm fine. How are you, my dear?"

Without saying goodbye, she entered the house, leaving Saude bewildered.

Then Salma spoke up, "By God, this girl is trouble; she went to the city again, and now she's causing chaos."

Jidderh explained, "I told you to inform Mlm Kabiru, but you refused, and now Jidderh is in trouble."

As for Mlm Kabiru, when would he find out? The girl was like water, slipping through one's fingers. What a difficult situation, indeed.

Then she left the house, without a word.

She walked for a while until she arrived at Salma's doorstep, and there was no sign of tension between them, as Salma was used to her friend's antics.

She greeted her, "Where's Mama Tabawa? Is she here?"

Mama Tabawa replied, "Jidderh, where have you been?"

She explained her absence but pleaded with her not to worry, as she would help Salma in any way she could.

Every word Jidderh uttered was sincere.

After a brief exchange, she bid farewell and left, leaving Salma alone to ponder her friend's mysterious ways.

Salma realized she was right; she needed to focus on her shop and leave Jidderh to her own devices, as she was beyond help.

Everything Jidderh said and did was incomprehensible to others.

She left the house without a word and headed straight to Salma's, where they sat together, with no need for words, as they understood each other perfectly.
